Madonna, Guy Ritchie settle child custody dispute

NEW YORK - Singer Madonna and her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, have settled a custody dispute over their 16-year-old son Rocco, a court official in New York said on Wednesday.

It was not immediately announced with which parent the teenager would live.

Madonna, 58, and Ritchie, 47, have been in a legal battle over their son since December, when the teenager ignored a court order to fly back from Ritchie’s London

home to live with his mother in New York.

The “Material Girl” singer, who concluded her worldwide “Rebel Heart” tour in March, and Ritchie, director of 2009 film “Sherlock Holmes,” married in 2000. After they divorced in 2008, they agreed that Rocco would live with Madonna.

In March, a New York judge and a British judge both separately urged the former spouses to find an amicable resolution for Rocco’s sake.

Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for

the New York State court system, confirmed the case was officially settled on Wednesday but did not immediately provide further information.

Details of the settlement also were not revealed in online court records. Attorneys for Ritchie did not immediately return calls for comment and a representative for Madonna’s lawyers said they do not comment on cases involving children. Madonna and Ritchie also have an adopted son who was born in Malawi. (rtr)

ESCORTING Bali and the civilization is getting more difficult in the future. Conflict intensity tends to be on the rise and the growing complexity of population problem makes Bali deal with a thousand and one problems. Growth rate of Bali tourism also makes Balinese people face the competition in the tourism sector where recently it has an impact on the increasing disruption of social order. This condition will clearly have an impact on the effort of Bali conservation as a safe and comfortable living space.

To address the potential conflicts and strengthening challenge of escorting Bali in the future, the concept of Tri Hita Karana (THK), Tri Kaya Parisuda, karmic law and the brotherhood should be put into practice accordingly. With this actualization concept, Bali would surely become safe.

FILE - In this Tuesday Sept. 8, 2015 file photo taken from TV, a Hungarian camerawoman, center left in blue, kicks out at a young migrant who had just crossed the border from Serbia near Roszke Hungary. Petra Laszlo, the camerawoman who was filmed kicking and trying to trip migrants near Hungary’s border with Serbia in September 2015 has been indicted for breaching the peace, Hungarian prosecutors said Wednesday Sept. 7, 2016.

Hungary charges camerawoman accused of tripping fleeing migrants

BUDAPEST - Hungarian prosecutors filed charges on Wednesday against a camerawoman accused of kicking and tripping migrants fleeing police near the southern border with Serbia last year. Petra Laszlo was fired form her job at N1TV, a television station with nationalist sympathies, after video footage spread online appearing to show her kicking a girl and a young man.

Her prosecution for disorderly conduct comes as political tensions mount over Europe’s migration crisis in the region. Hungary is holding a referendum on whether to accept EU migrant quotas on Oct. 2, the same say as the far-right Freedom

Party is standing in presidential elections in neighbouring Austria.

Prosecutors described how hundreds of migrants broke through a police cordon and out of a holding area and headed toward Szeged, a nearby city in September last year.

Laszlo was directly behind the police officers and filmed migrants as they ran. “While filming she kicked a young man in the shin with a swift kick of the sole of her right foot, and also kicked young girl around the knee with her right foot,” the prosecutors said in a statement.

There was no evidence of a racially motivated hate crime, they added.

Laszlo was not immediately reachable for comment. Last year she told the daily Magyar Nemzet that she felt remorse over what had happened.

“I am practically in shock from

what I did, and what was done to me,” Laszlo said. “I am not heartless (or) racist... I am a woman, a mother of small children, who has since lost her job, and who made a bad decision in panic.”

Prosecutors said she had not kicked a man carrying a small child, one of the accusations she had faced during last year’s online furore. “(Laszlo) kicked toward a man carrying a child in his hands, but the kick did not reach the man. The man carrying the child still fell, because... one of the policemen tried

to catch and restrain him, and he lost his balance as he broke free.”

The man, a soccer coach named Osama Abdul Mohsen, went on to Spain where a sports school offered to find him work.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY

Tourism...

From page 1

This opinion was stated by Director of Vital Object Security of Bali Police, I Made Ardhana, at the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) at the Hotel Sovereign, Tuban recently. Since not all Balinese people understand about the concepts mentioned above, there is no harmonization between sociocultural concepts of Balinese Hindu and the one brought to Bali by migrant communities. The presence of migrants is now widely affect social concept in Bali, where it can even be said to have begun blurring the Balinese social concept.

“This condition is more alarming when the social concept of the migrant including travelers is boarded with the interests of individual or group. This could lead to social conflicts in Bali,” he said.

To that end, he considered it necessary to build a communication system and closer coordination among all the parties concerned with security in Bali, including the internal communication of the police units. He admitted that Bali Police make cooperation with local governments, especially in Badung and have made dissemination of information and technical guidance to many hotels so as to implement the hotel security management system (SMPH). Of the 111 hotels proposed to be verified only 44 hotels complied with the criteria.

Chief of Kuta customary village, I Wayan Swarsa, said that government of Badung has installed hundreds of CCTVs in public areas in Badung. This measure has provided direct security protection for the public. This needs to be balanced with jaga baya program as a form of innovation through the involvement

of pecalang (customary security guard) in maintaining customary territories of Bali. Until now, pecalang is still respected and trusted by the people and travelers as part of safeguarding the customs in Bali.

He said that customary villages in Bali have an administration system governing all activities of rural communities based on balance and harmony in the relationship between human with human, human with the environment and human with God as in the Tri Hita Karana concept, expected to be empowered to fill in the space of development formally uncovered by the government. It is realized that the movement of customary village administration should be dynamic and fast moving in accordance with the changing times.

Chairman of the PHRI Badung, Rai Suryawijaya, appealed to hoteliers and restaurateurs to help install CCTV in the street in front of

their respective business premises.

This is a strategic effort to escort Bali tourism. This measure can be classified into CSR activities for the

benefit of business sector including in guarding the security of customary territories due to rapid growth of tourism sector. (kmb)

Ketapian Market

Started from local merchants, now dominated by urban merchants

DENPASAR - Ketapian Market located on Jalan Pucuk 2 Sumerta, East Denpasar, was established in 1978. Seeing the people’s needs for the centers of public services, the government then established schools and hospitals including market.

Ketapean Market was built by municipal government on the area of 2,200 square meters.

“Seeing the people’s needs, the government took the initiative to

build the market. So, the building was constructed first and then

traders began to arrive. Until today, the merchants spill onto Jalan Katrangan,” said Division Head of Local Company Supervisory Board of the PD Pasar Denpasar, A.A. Ngurah Yuliartha.

With the two-story building having the area of 1,338 square meters, the Ketapean Market accommodates more than 263 merchants, consisting of 64 stalls, 154 shanties and 83 courtyard merchants. “This market was built first to complete the infrastructure. Then, it was followed by the presence of merchants, while the Badung Market is inherited from the Kingdom of Denpasar,” he added.

At first, the merchants selling at the Ketapian Market were residents from the surrounding areas of Ketapean hamlet. Gradually, due to the influence of urbanization, many migrants saw the business opportunity and do selling at the Ketapean Market so that in the long run it was also filled in by merchants from outside the city and even from outside the province. Now, the local merchants amount to not more than 30 percent.

“Majority of the merchants

is the urbanites, some are from outside the district or province, but they are mostly from other districts,” he said.

Its annual income potential is targeted to reach IDR 68 million and recognized the realization is not much different from the target.

“If deviating, it will maximally reach 0.2 percent because our target is very realistic,” he said. The revenue is derived from the rental and levies. Since the minimum rental period is two years, he can raise the rental price every two years depending on the economic condition. Before raising the rental price, he conducted a feasibility study on the rental increase.

For the sake of food security sold at Ketapian Market, the market management makes cooperation with the Denpasar Agency for Drugs and Food Control (BBPOM) in terms of supervision and testing because food containing hazardous substance cannot be seen by naked eyes but should pass through laboratory test. When found any food containing hazardous substance, it will be communicated to the head of the market to be further provided with coaching.

“Due to the use of chemicals is not entirely the fault of merchants but the suppliers, it has to be sought after the source as not all merchants produce their own goods. Only few merchants make their own goods. Most merchants sell finished goods, unless they make their own product, then we issue a reprimand letter to cancel their rental rights,” he explained.

In the meantime, to anticipate the inappropriate scale reading, PD Pasar will provide scale calibration. If buyers feel suspicious about inappropriate scales, they can re-scale their goods at the calibration office. “If the scale reading is considered inappropriate, please report it to the security guard to be followed up to the merchant. If it is truly inappropriate, we will seize,” he said.

As planned, the scale calibration office will be set up in 2017 in collaboration with the metrology agency. As for food safety, his agency usually provides education and dissemination coinciding with annual meeting of the cooperatives in cooperation with the Denpasar Agency of Drug and Food Control.

Actor Ken Zhu of F4 Meteor Garden and Actress Wife Han Wen Wen Tied Their Knot at Mulia Bali

Actor & Singer Ken Zhu (Taiwan) from the popular TV show Meteor Garden and F4 group married his wife Han Wen Wen / Vivien Han (China) at The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas – Nusa Dua, Bali. The beautiful wedding ceremony took place at the floating glass chapel – Eternity, while the reception was celebrated at Mulia Bali’s newly launched Unity Garden by the beach. The couple was surprised by the presence of Jerry Yan, as he has previously declined to attend only to surprise his best friend as they walk into the chapel gliding hands with Vanness Wu. Ken Zhu and Vivian Han fell in love with Mulia Bali after their wedding photo-shoot for one of China’s bridal magazine earlier this year, they started changing their plans from hosting their weddings in Beijing to Bali.

The wedding procession starts on 2 September 2016 with Brides & Bridesmaid tea party at Mulia Villas. Then followed by the exquisite welcome dinner at Soleil - the signature beachfront dining with tables inside and out, facing the magnificent view of the tranquil

ocean, specialized in delectable dishes with a Mediterranean touch, as well as exotic cuisines from Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

The restaurant has also been recently nominated “20 Best Restaurants In The World” by Veranda.com, joining a list of world’s top end Michelin rated restaurant.

On 3 September, at 9.18 AM the groom departed from his Villa to “Fetch the Bride”, a Chinese tradition where the Bridesmaid will throw games and the groom and his bestman must accomplish the task to prove his love. Including defrosting a block of ice to get to the key and unlock the Bride’s villa door, among many other games. The tradition ended with Ken carrying his new Bride back to his villa and feeding each other Chinese noodles and rice ball.

The two exchanged vows held at 3.58 PM on 3 September 2016 at the Eternity chapel - a floating glass chapel with Mulia lake shimmering on the background, with Ken showing his romantic side and poured his heart out to Vivien. The Bride wore an elegant gown that featured hand-embroidered pearls

and guipure accents, and the groom donned in a custom handmade tuxedo. Their best moments completed with the presence of Vanness Wu which previously had confirmed his wedding attendance, while Vic Zhou was not able to attend due to his newborn child and last Jerry Yan had declined to participate due to work commitment, but had actually planned a surprise by checking into Mulia Villas without the couple’s awareness and made a surprise appearance that took Ken by surprise.

After the wedding bells rang, the gala dinner was served at the newly launched Unity Garden - featuring endless views of the Indian Ocean and the iconic Balinese Geger Temple perched on the cliff of Nusa Dua bay. The show started with the couple first tango dance, followed by Ken and his band’s live performance and was completed by Vivien’s solo guitar performance that they have been rehearsing for quite some time. While everyone thought the reception was completed with fireworks show and a cake prepared by Mulia Deli that

followed by a cake cutting. An impromptu performance of Meteor Garden theme song sung by Ken, Jerry and Vanness made F4 true fans cheering in tears; the night was closed with a highlight of Me-

teor Garden performance at Mulia Bali’s new Unity Garden.

Everyone Is Buying These Pieces From Lululemon

GOOD news for Lululemon lovers: The veteran cool athleisure brand is having a good year.

According to Fashionista, Lululemon’s profits have risen this year

for the first time since 2014, and their CFO Stuart Haselden is calling the past few months a “turning point” for the brand. The positive sales growth can be attributed to the

fact that the brand “sold more highmargin categories, ran fewer markdowns and reduced product costs.”

Specifically, in the womenswear category, Fashionista reports that

sales for textured tops with mesh, braiding, bonding, and engineered prints, as well as bra and tank sales all increased.

To further the good news, Lulu-

lemon plans on opening more stores across the globe in an effort to climb toward their goal of doubling their revenue (to a whopping $4 billion!) by the year 2020. (IBP/net)

Tanah Ampo pier cannot be extended

Indication of budget abuse increasingly strengthens

DENPASAR - The indication of budget misuse is increasingly stronger in the Tanah Ampo pier development project. Results of the consultation held by Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives to the Ministry of Transportation gave new facts. It is related to the issues on the pier considered to have inadequate length so that cruise ships are unable to moor. In fact, the pier is apparently not possible to be extended.

“Apparently the pier is not likely to be further extended because the end of the pier is already too deep.

Its depth is minus 17 meaning to reach 17 meters so that the issue on pier extension to 150 meters is not possible,” said Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, I Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, conveying the latest results of consultation to the Division Head of Sea Traffic, Directorate of Harbor Administration, Ministry of Transportation at the parliamentary house, Monday (Sep. 5).

Kariyasa added that in the current condition the pier can only be moored by cruise ships with a maximum length of 120 meters. In the meantime, the smallest cruise ship has a length of 300 meters.

But on the other hand, central government has been planning the construction of breakwater in 2017. Construction of the 100meter breakwater is meant to cope with big waves having become an obstacle for the operation of Tanah Ampo all this time. “However, it (the breakwater—Ed) will not enable larger ships of 300 meters in length to directly anchor on the pier,” said this PDI-P politician.

Kariyasa considered it strange when hearing the pier cannot be extended and the presence of big waves. In the meantime, the pier completely built in 2012, from the beginning is indeed designed to be moored by cruise ship. But now, the pier costing nearly IDR 100 billion cannot be used.

“In essence, this case has become the finding of the supreme audit agency (BPK), the money invested should be beneficial, either spent through district, provincial and state budget. If it is not exploited, it means there has been a budgetary misuse and it harms state finance,” he explained.

Kariyasa continued that it raised a big question for proponents of this project in the past, especially the district government why the project with the so large budget did not comply with the original purpose as a cruise pier. Central government must also take responsibility for issuing a massive budget over the proposal of the region.

“All this time, many projects have been made without good planning, such as the Tanah Ampo Pier and Gunaksa Pier but immediately spend the money and they cannot

be utilized. Is this the fault of the detailed engineering design or indeed just to make the project run,” he concluded.

A member of Commission III, Kadek Nuartana, saw there is an impression if the feasibility study and the DED were forced. As a result, the Tanah Ampo pier has not had the principle of benefit until now. Fortunately, the provincial government still allocates budget for the operating costs so that the project cannot be said to be dormant.

“The pier must function according to the initial plan. The budget must be accounted for because what is made must have the principle of benefit. It must be made a trial in order to find out the real weak point,” he said.

Chairman of Commission III, Nengah Tamba, agreed that the government should immediately make a trial to the Tanah Ampo pier even though it can only be moored by cruise ship with a maximum length of 120 meters.

According to him, there has been a proposal to conduct a trial in this September. After the trial, it will be resumed with the construction of breakwater.

“Our priority is the trial. We will invite all the stakeholders. Based on the result of the trial, we can make a recommendation whether it is feasible or not feasible. If not feasible, what is the solution? Do we need to change the function

or can the building of breakwater make it feasible?” he asked.

Earlier, Governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika, said that it had been agreed that the pier construction was done by central government, while the pier building or terminal by provincial government, and the road by district government. After the terminal and the road have been completed, in fact the pier made by central government only has the length of 150

meters. The budget to extend the pier is now stagnant.

“If the pier can be extended to about 200 meters, it can be moored by cruise ships and will revive all,” he added. Pastika added that the inadequate length makes cruise ships difficult to moor at the pier.

From the test results, cruise ships finally moored in the middle of the sea so that passengers wishing to the beach must be transported by barge. (kmb32)

The indication of budget misuse is increasingly stronger in the Tanah Ampo pier development project.

Hundreds of Gretek residents face water crisis

SINGARAJA - Difficulty to get clean water supply is experienced until now by Gretek hamlet, Sambirenteng, Tejakula. A total of 650 families in the hilly region have difficulty in accessing clean water. Severe condition occurs in dry season. At this difficult time, residents are forced to spend up to IDR 1.2 million to buy clean water. The difficulty was revealed when they attended the recess of the Chairman of the Buleleng House of Representatives, Gede Supriatna, at Gretek hamlet, Monday (Sep. 5).

A local resident, Ketut Riana, in the meeting with the people’s representative expressed how difficult to get clean water supply is. This condition has occurred for many years and the water crisis routinely occurs during dry season every year. Currently, local residents rely on clean

water supply from reservoir in the center of local village and nearby areas. In dry season, the water supply is getting lower and lower, so that it is not sufficient to supply clean water for the entire residents.

On this condition, the residents are forced to buy water from tank truck at an expensive price. Moreover, on the peak of water crisis, they must pay at IDR 1.2 million just to buy clean water.

“Before the peak of dry season, the water stock in the reservoir stays enough, but when the peak arrives it will reduce. So, we have no choice by buy clean water and this has been happening for a long time. We hope there is concern so that the issues can be overcome,” he said.

According to Riana, the water source in the area is still enough.

Some locations remain to have

relatively large water discharge.

However, to drain water from the source requires high cost. He estimated the cost required to drain the water reaches about IDR 750 million. Such fund will be used to buy pumps, so that the water can be sucked from the source. After accommodated in a reservoir, it can be flowed into people’s home by applying gravity technique.

“The water source is located on private property and our constraint to suck is the absence of fund. If the local government gives priority, we hope it can help suck up the water, so that the water crisis can be resolved,” said Riana as confirmed by other residents.

After knowing the complaints of the residents, Supriatna said that district government so far has focused to overcoming the

problem of clean water. To cope with water shortages in eastern Buleleng, the district government has built a clean water network to drain water from the springs at Air Sanih, Kubutambahan. This effort is expected to help residents at Gretek hamlet resolve the clean water crisis. Another effort offered is to encourage local government to allocate budget to help capture water from the springs at the location.

With that capital, he is confident that next year the government can prioritize to build a clean water network at Gretek hamlet and surrounding areas.

“Government has handled the clean water issue. We hope this will be focused again because some villages or hamlets still do not have clean water facilities like this Gretek hamlet. We will com-

municate to the government. If the taking of springs at Air Sanih can reach the hamlet, surely this problem can be overcome. Otherwise, we ask the government to help residents drain the existing water sources. By and large, if there are springs, the proposal will get priority,” he explained.

Aside from clean water issue, the condition of roads in eastern Buleleng is still damaged and requires priority of handling by the government in the following years.

Other than complicating people to pass by, the damaged road also hampers the economic activities at the village. Collectors of crops and other agricultural commodities will get trouble when passing, so that their products will have low bargaining power due to high transportation costs. (kmb38)

Judicial team suppresses proliferation of chain modern stores

DENPASAR - The government has not been able to overcome the development of chain modern stores in Denpasar considering many chain modern stores appear in numbers. To suppress the proliferation of modern stores in Denpasar, the judicial team returned to supervise. At this time the judicial team led by the Head of the Denpasar Commerce and Industry Agency Wayan Gatra went to a modern store on Jalan Kebo Iwa Selatan and Jalan Gunung Sanghyang, Monday (Sep. 5).

According to Gatra, in the supervision made by the government of Denpasar, both stores were indicated as chain store. It can be known from the computer system in the cashier remaining to display the logo of a certain chain store and the price list of the goods was also fooled by reversing it.

In addition, the store attendant could not present the current operating license when being raided. Seeing this condition, Gatra instantly reminded and summon the owner to the office of Denpasar municipal police.

Gatra further said the discipline should be carried out sustainably.

If there is permit inappropriate with the operations in the field, the first step to do is reprimanding it. If the reprimand is not addressed, it will be followed up by the Denpasar municipal police by sealing the store. “We have done so to some modern stores at this time,” he said.

On that account, Gatra called on the people to sell in conformity with their permit. In addition, the Mayoral Regulation No.9/2009 on Modern Market, Modern Store and Traditional Stores has set the quota of 295 stores. According to him, modern stores chiefly the chain ones should be limited. Otherwise, it will have bad impact on small stores.

Although local government has limited the number of modern stores in Denpasar, in fact, many chain stores are found to covertly make partnerships with third party, such as the people having the permit of grocery store.

To anticipate the proliferation of chain modern stores and overcome unfair competition Gatra asked the people to manage their store modernly.

By managing the store modernly, the competitiveness will be the same as the chain modern stores. He added that to control the proliferation of chain store collaboration, the integrated licensing and investment office will also monitor before issuing a permit. (kmb12)

When contacted on Monday (Sep. 5) after attending a plenary session in the Karangasem House of Representatives, Regent of Karangasem, IGA Mas Sumatri, said that Karangasem has not applied antidisease technology to rotten stem disease in banana in Karangasem.

She will establish a team and ask for input from agricultural experts.

In the meantime, Deputy Regent of Karangasem, Wayan Artha Dipa, when met at the same location conveyed that banana plants all this time cannot be planted hap-

hazardly with other inappropriate plants. According to him, banana plant cannot be intercropped with cloves.

He hoped the field extension workers (PPL) in Karangasem to continuously seek knowledge and apply the science with farmers. It is meant to advance the agriculture in Karangasem to prosper farmers.

Most resident of this Bali’s easternmost region bears poverty and they work in agricultural sector in the broader sense. “A total of 54 percent of the Karangasem resi-

dents are struggling and living from agriculture. If the agriculture is advanced, farmers’ income is much higher than expenditures. Thus, the poverty will be overcome,” said Artha Dipa.

From the observation all this time, other than the rampant land conversion from banana plantation to non-agricultural, the plant has died for a long time. Banana trees have totally died in Karangasem due to rotten stem disease. Now, only certain types of banana remain to survive from the disease, such as stony seed banana, Cavendish banana and sapodilla banana remaining to save from the attack.

VIENTIANE - Asian leaders played down tensions over the South China Sea in a carefully worded summit statement on Thursday, but even before it was issued Beijing voiced frustration with countries outside the region “interfering” in tussles over the strategic waterway.

The heads of 10 Southeast Asian nations, as well as U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang among six other leaders, “reaffirmed the importance of maintaining peace, stability, security and freedom of navigation in and over-flight in the South China Sea”.

But the draft of a statement to be issued in Vientiane, Laos, tiptoed around the regional strains caused by competing claims to areas of the strategically important sea.

“Several leaders remained seriously concerned over recent developments in the South China Sea,” said the draft.

The statement, seen by Reuters, made no reference to a July ruling by a court in The Hague that declared illegal some of China’s artificial islands in the sea and invalidated its claims to almost the entire waterway.

Obama said on Thursday the ruling had helped clarify maritime

rights. “I recognise this raises tensions but I also look forward to discussing how we can constructively move forward together to lower tensions,” he said at a summit meeting.

Officials said that talks on Wednesday between leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China’s Li had gone smoothly.

But in a statement later from China’s Foreign Ministry, Li was paraphrased as saying China was willing to work with Southeast Asian countries in “dispelling interference ... and properly handling the South China Sea issue”.

He did not elaborate, but such wording is typically used by Chinese leaders to refer to not allowing countries from outside the region with no direct involvement in the dispute, like the United States, from getting involved.

China claims much of the South China Sea, through which more

than $5 trillion of trade moves annually. Taiwan and four ASEAN members - Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei - also have claims, making it a hot spot of regional tension.

The other ASEAN nations are Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand. Leaders from Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, South Korea and the United States also attended the summit.

China has over the past year alarmed other claimants, and outside powers such as the United States and Japan, by re-claiming land on several disputed reefs through dredging, and building air fields and port facilities.

Shattering an illusion of cordiality at the summit in Laos on Wednesday, U.S. ally the Philippines released photographs and a map showing what it said was an increased number of Chinese vessels near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, which China seized after a standoff in 2012.

Its defence ministry expressed “grave concern” that Chinese boats were preparing to build structures at the shoal. (rtr)

SYDNEY - Three Australian airlines have banned passengers from using or charging Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Note 7 smartphones during flights due to concerns over the phone’s fire-prone batteries.

Qantas, its budget unit Jetstar and Virgin Australia said they had not been directed to ban the use of the phone by aviation authorities, but did so as a precaution following Samsung’s recall of the phones in 10 markets.

Although customers will still be able to bring the phones on flights, the ban extends to the phones being plugged in to flight entertainment systems where USB ports are available.

The recall follows reports of the 988,900 won ($885) phone igniting while charging - an embarrassing blow to Samsung, which prides itself on its manufacturing prowess and had been banking on the devices to add momentum to a recovery in its mobile business.

Samsung, the world’s biggest smartphone vendor, has sold 2.5 million of the premium devices so far.

“Following Samsung Australia’s recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 personal electronic device we are requesting that passengers who own them do not switch on or charge them in flight,” a Qantas spokesman said in an emailed statement.

Samsung Australia said in a statement that it had liaised with Qantas and Virgin Australia following the recall.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering its response to the Samsung recall and “working on guidance related to this issue,” according to a FAA statement quoted by technology website Gizmodo.

Airlines have previously banned hoverboards from planes due to battery-fire risks.

In February the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations’ agency, banned lithium-ion batteries from checked luggage following concerns from pilots and plane makers that they are a fire risk. (rtr)

BUSINESS In North Korea, China’s Xiaomi gets the people’s pulses racing

BEIJING/SEOUL - China’s smartphone and accessory maker Xiaomi Inc is winning hearts and minds in North Korea with its wearable fitness band, Chinese state media said on Thursday, a symbol of the isolated state’s increasingly sophisticated consumer classes.

The Mi Band 2, selling for $35 in Pyongyang compared to the China price of 149 yuan ($22.36), sold out at the North Korean capital’s international trade exhibition, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Xiaomi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

North Korea is home to a rising class of consumers known as “donju” meaning “masters of money”, thanks to a growing unofficial economy.

North Korean state-owned businesses have attempted to capture some of this new cash with homegrown products, but cheaper and more technologically advanced Chinese imports are easily available in markets and shops.

“The people of (North Korea) are pursuing high-quality life as much as anywhere else in the world,” said Gong Yunhong, a salesperson running the booth selling Xiaomi’s bracelet, according to Xinhua.

On a trip to the reclusive country in May, a Reuters reporter noted several people on the streets of Pyongyang wearing Xiaomi-style fitness trackers.

Xiaomi - which at the end of 2014 raised funding at a valuation of $45 billion, but which since then has been struggling with flagging growth and aggressive rivals - has expanded into various countries outside its homeland, but does not list North Korea among them.

Nor has the start-up flagged any intention to enter the country, which has long been subject to crippling sanctions over an ongoing nuclear missile programme and severe human rights abuses.

Xinhua’s report noted that North Korean owners of the Mi Band 2 were unable to connect the fitness device to their mobile phones, rendering some functions useless.

Bluetooth has recently been disabled on North Korean-made mobile phones. Most domestically produced devices do not have Wifi enabled and the internet is an intranet, while uncensored access to the outside world is reserved for a small circle of elite and privileged figures.(rtr)

European shares near eight-month highs as Micro Focus surges

LONDON - European stock markets gained ground on Thursday, leaving a leading index near eight-month highs, with software company Micro Focus surging after a deal with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The pan-European STOXX 600 index was up 0.2 percent, near its highest level in eight months.

Lei Jun (L), founder and chief executive officer of Xiaomi, and Hugo Barra, Xiaomi’s vice president of international operations, display Mi 4i phones during its launch in New Delhi April 23, 2015.

International

Micro Focus rose around 20 percent, the best-performing stock on the STOXX 600 index, after sealing an $8.8 billion deal for Hewlett Packard Enterprise to merge its non-core software assets with Micro Focus’s business.

However, Rocket Internet fell 5 percent after the German ecommerce investment company cut the valuation of its Home24 online furniture business. Many investors were also focusing on a European Central Bank meeting later in the day.

Expectations of more pledges to help the sluggish euro zone

economy from ECB President Mario Draghi have pushed down bond yields, which in turn has driven investors over to the better returns available from stocks and company dividends.

“Draghi isn’t anywhere near to achieving his goals, and he might very well continue to assure the market that there might be more to come and that he still has tools available to boost growth,” said Markus Huber, trader at City of London Markets Limited.

The euro zone economy is widely expected to need more stimulus from the central bank, but it may not

come at the bank’s policy meeting on Thursday.

Growth and inflation remain weak, but the ECB has already exhausted much of its firepower, so Draghi has to pick his time and probably has enough arguments to wait a bit longer.

Nonetheless, it is probably just a matter of months before the ECB eases policy further, acknowledging that inflation is not moving higher, despite free credit to banks, recordlow interest rates and money printing worth 1.2 trillion euros ($1.35 trillion) in the past year and a half.

The STOXX 600 index is down around 4 percent so far in 2016, although it has rallied over the last two months from lows reached back in June after Britain’s shock ‘Brexit’ vote to quit the European Union.(rtr)

The president said the partnership between ASEAN and China should be able to realize peace, stability and security in South China Sea. “The partnership between ASEAN and China has to be able to attain peace, stability and security in South China Sea by respecting the international law,” the president asserted.

President Joko Widodo argued that the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) should be implemented fully and effectively.

“The Code of Conduct should be completed soon because the South China Sea territory is not an area for muscle flexing by big powers,” he added.

The president welcomed and supported the implementation of the Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) in the South China Sea and a hotline for communication among the high-level officials related to the maritime emergency response in South China Sea.

“I am sure that the implementation of CUES and setting up of a hotline will contribute to peace, security and stability in South China Sea,” the president underlined. The president also encouraged ASEAN and China to promote stability and security along the main sea lane in the region.

Therefore, according to him, the related states should start implementing the EAS (East Asia Summit) Statement on Enhancing Regional Maritime Cooperation, which was agreed upon in 2015.

“This is important in order to enhance the level of trust among the countries in the region,” the president reasoned.

This year, ASEAN and China are commemorating the 25th anniversary of partnership as China became an ASEAN dialogue partner in 1991.

In the future, the president stressed, ASEAN and China should prioritize balanced and mutually beneficial economic relations.(ant)

Nine countries will Philippine President Duterte participate in Solo intl art scheduled to visit Jakarta SUKOHARJO - At least three hundred members of cultural delegations from nine countries will be participating in the eighth Solo Internasional Performing Arts (SIPA) 2016 in Solo, Central Java, on September 8-10.

The members will be from Zimbabwe, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, United States, Spain, India, Italy and host Indonesia, the Director of SIPA 2016, Irawati Kusumorasri, informed here on Tuesday.

“This years show has the theme of Maha Swara, indicating that voice show is more dominant than dance show,” she added.

A Javanese composer, song writer and traditional singer, Peni Candra Rini, is the mascot of the international-class cultural show of SIPA 2016. According to Irawati, the theme of “Maha Swara” contains a humanitarian mission that features the beauty of art performances.

“The world needs voice. Moreover, it is needed if we have such humanitarian missions as keeping peace, preserving nature, building and maintaining friendship, and many others,” she noted.

The international event, Irawati said, will connect the local and international artists, hoping that coming together will boost their creativity.

She said the cultural delegation members from overseas, among others, are Blessing Chimangga (Zimbabwe), Neil Chua and Ruanatworkz (Singapore and Malaysia), Park Na Hoon (South Korea), Philip Grauly (USA), Rodrigo Parejo (Spain), Nadi (Singapore), and Manipuri Dance Group (India).

The event venue will have 5,000 seats and it will be free for people. Meanwhile, the Head of Surakartas Culture and Tourism Office, Eny Tyasni Suzana, said SIPA 2016 is different from its earlier editions. This year, the event will feature 60 percent voice and 40 percent dance. “We hope the event will attract all kinds of people, including foreign tourists,” Eny added. A spanish art performer, Rodrigo Parejo, said that he is proud that he will be performing at the event, hoping that people will enjoy the musical and dancing art presented by the participating artists.(ant)

VIENTIANE - President Rodirgo Duterte will leave for Jakarta on September 8 after attending the 28th and 29th ASEAN Summits and related summits in Vientiane, Laos.

“President Duterte will fly to Jakarta for a working visit on September 8. He will spend the night there before meeting with President Joko Widodo the next morning and return home to Manila,” Philippine presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella noted at the National Convention Center here on Tuesday.

“Certainly, maritime security will be discussed by President Duterte and President Joko Widodo at the meeting. Moreover, the two countries ministers of defense have already discussed it before,” the spokesman stated in connection with the issues to be discussed between both leaders, adding that the two sides had yet to determine it.

The two countries defense ministers have discussed the sea lane corridor between the Philippines and Indonesia to safeguard their maritime territory.

“It is almost certain that the two presidents will discuss steps to crush the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group,” he stated.

Trump in TV event with Clinton, says Putin better leader than Obama

NEW YORK - Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama, as the Republican presidential nominee used a televised forum to argue he was best equipped to reassert America’s global leadership.

Trump suggested at the event in which he and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton made back-to-back appearances that U.S. generals had been stymied by the policies of Obama and Clinton, who served as the Democratic president’s first secretary of state.

“I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point that’s embarrassing for our country,” Trump said at NBC’s “Commander-in-Chief” forum in New York attended by military veterans.

It was the first time Trump and Clinton had squared off on the same stage since accepting their parties’ presidential nominations in July for the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton was grilled over her handling of classified informa-

tion while using a private email server during her tenure at the State Department. FBI Director James Comey had declared her “extremely careless” in her handling of sensitive material but did not recommend charges against her.

“I did exactly what I should have done and I take it very seriously, always have, always will,” she said.

Trump’s praise of Putin and his suggestion that the United States and Russia form an alliance to defeat Islamic State militants could raise eyebrows among foreign policy experts who feel Moscow is interfering with efforts to stem the Syrian civil war.

“If he says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him,” Trump said of the Russian president. “Certainly in that system, he’s been a leader,

far more than our president has been.”

Trump had called Obama “the founder of ISIS,” an acronym for Islamic State, in stump speeches several weeks ago. The statement drew broad criticism, prompting him to take a more disciplined approach to campaigning. He has since picked up ground on Clinton in national opinion polls.

Trump also flirted with revealing what he had been learning in classified intelligence briefings given to him by U.S. officials because he is the Republican nominee.

“There was one thing that shocked me,” Trump said. “What I did learn is that our leadership, Barack Obama, did not follow what our experts ... said to do, and I was very, very surprised. ...Our leaders were not following what they recommended.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump pledged to launch a new U.S. military buildup, saying America was under threat like never before from foes like Islamist extremists, North Korea and China. (rtr)

European Council President Donald Tusk arrives in Downing Street in London, Britain September 8, 2016.

Britain should start EU divorce talks soon, says Tusk

LONDON - Britain should start talks to leave the European Union as soon as possible, European Council President Donald Tusk said on Thursday, adding weight to calls for Prime Minister Theresa May to start the formal divorce procedure.

In London, Tusk met May for their first head-to-head meeting since Britain voted to leave the bloc in a referendum on June 23 which led to the resignation of her predecessor David Cameron. Tusk and May are keen to discuss what steps might be taken over the next few months, officials said.

May has said Britain will not trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty to start the exit procedure this year to give her government time to come up with a negotiating stance for the complicated talks that will shape the country’s future standing.

“Our goal (is) to establish closest possible EU-UK relations. Ball in UK court to start negotiations.

In everybody’s best interest to start ASAP (as soon as possible),” Tusk said on Twitter.

As head of the European Council, which groups heads of EU states and governments, Tusk leads the body that defines the bloc’s political direction and priorities.

EU officials are keen to move quickly on the talks, fearing uncertainty over future relations is hurting investment.

But some data suggests that Britain’s economy, while slowing

sharply, has recovered from the initial impact of the vote. Reports published on Thursday showed firms increasing the number of permanent staff and house prices rising, albeit from low levels.

Lawmakers who had lobbied for Britain to leave the EU in the run up to the referendum have taken the economic data as proof that the ‘remain’ campaign had tried to frighten voters into staying by forecasting economic difficulties.

One, Liam Fox, who is now trade minister, said Britain was pressing on with plans to reach agreements with some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies.

He told parliament the government had set up a working group with India.

On Wednesday, May’s spokeswoman said the meeting with Tusk would not only cover Britain’s exit, or “Brexit”, but would also discuss issues on the agenda for the October meeting of EU leaders, suggesting that Britain still plans to play a role.

May has said she will not show her hand before starting the Brexit talks, giving few details of what her government wants when it leaves the EU. She says reducing immigration into Britain is crucial after millions of Britons expressed their frustration in the vote over what they say is the stress on schools, hospitals and housing from high numbers of people settling in the country.

Ecclestone says new F1 owners would want him to stay

LONDON - Formula One’s commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been asked to stay on for three years after an imminent takeover of the sport is completed by U.S. cable TV mogul John Malone’s Liberty Media.

“They want me to be here for three years,” the 85-year-old, who over the decades has built the sport into a business with annual turnover of around $1.9 billion, told Reuters on Wednesday.

Media reports have suggested the first part of a broader deal between outgoing rights holders CVC and Liberty Media could be announced on Wednesday.

However Ecclestone and CVC chairman Donald Mackenzie voiced some scepticism about the time frame at last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.

“Honestly, I don’t think anybody knows -- including our friends from Liberty, and Donald,” said Ecclestone, who still expected the deal to get over the line.

The Briton said he would not be attending next week’s Singapore Grand Prix, the social highlight of the sport’s Asian calendar, because of the negotiations.

“Because all this is going through, they (CVC) want me to be there (in London) to help them with all sorts of things. I can’t afford to be away for five to six days.”

TUESDAY MEETING A Formula One board meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, by which time the deal should have

been finalised and a new chairman introduced.

Ecclestone expects that to be Chase Carey, executive vice-chairman of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox and a director of Sky News owner Sky Plc, who would replace Austrian Peter BrabeckLetmathe.

Brabeck, 71, has been chairman since 2012 but has recently recovered from cancer and is due to step down as chairman of Nestle, the world’s largest food and drink company, in 2017.

Ecclestone, famously unwilling to delegate in the past, indicated he would be happy to share the workload.

“He (Carey) can do lots of things that I haven’t done with this social media, which he seems to be in touch with. He’s been dealing with sponsorship with his TV people.

Between us we’ll get on with it,” he said.

Ecclestone’s future had been called into question, with former team owner and television pundit Eddie Jordan saying on Sunday that Monza could even be the Briton’s last race.

“That’s Eddie Jordan. If he had any money, and wanted a small wager, I’d give him good odds,” said Ecclestone. (rtr)

LOS ANGELES - American swimmer Ryan Lochte has been suspended for 10 months, U.S. media reported on Wednesday, following a scandal involving the U.S. Olympic athlete and three other swimmers at the Rio Games.

The suspension was handed down by the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Swimming, USA Today reported, citing an unnamed source. Celebrity gossip website TMZ, citing unnamed sources, also reported the suspension. No further details were available.

Reuters could not independently confirm the reports. Neither the U.S. Olympic Committee nor USA Swimming immediately AP Photo/Michael Sohn, File responded to requests for comment.

In this Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016, file photo, United States’ Ryan Lochte checks his Lochte, 32, was dropped by four of his time in a men’s 4x200-meter freestyle heat during the swimming competitions major sponsors after admitting he “overexagat the 2016 Summer Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. gerated” a tale about being robbed and held at

gunpoint with the three other swimmers after a party during the Rio Olympics.

Brazilian authorities said the group destroyed a bathroom and urinated in public, and have recommended that Lochte be charged with falsely reporting a crime.

USA Today also reported that the three other swimmers were suspended, although for shorter lengths of time, and that Lochte would be banned from a championship swim meet in Budapest in 2017.

Late last month, ABC television said Lochte was joining the cast of “Dancing With the Stars,” a competition in which celebrities are paired with professional ballroom dancers.

That announcement came as the gold medalist said he thought reaction to his Rio de Janeiro tale had been blown out of proportion. (rtr)

Sp rt Altidore scores twice, US advances with 4-0 win over T&T JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jozy Altidore made U.S. history. So did Christian Pulisic. Altidore scored twice in a three-minute span of the second half, Sacha Kljestan and Paul Arriola had goals and the United States beat Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 on Tuesday night to reach the final round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

AP Photo/John Raoux

United States’ Paul Arriola (14) celebrates after scoring a goal against Trinidad & Tobago during the second half of a CONCACAF World Cup qualifying soccer match, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016, in Jacksonville, Fla. The United States won 4-0.

The Americans (4-1-1) finished atop Group C of the semifinal round in the North and Central American and Caribbean region and open the hexagonal on Nov. 11 against Mexico. That match almost certainly will be in Columbus, Ohio, where the U.S. has won four straight qualifiers over El Tri by 2-0 scores.

“No doubt in my mind,” coach Jurgen Klinsmann said of the site.

U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati later tweeted: “Guerra Fria?” After U.S. hosts Mexico, it plays four days later at Costa Rica.

Altidore, who missed most of the 2014 World Cup and all of this year’s Copa America because of hamstring injuries, hopes to remain on the field.

“I’m just trying to stay healthy, man,” he said. “I know I have a lot to give if I’m healthy. But that’s the key. For me, it’s just trying to stay on the field, and I know if I do that, I can help the team.”

Altidore etched his name in the record book by becoming the United States’ leader with 16 qualifying goals, two more than Clint Dempsey.

Pulisic made his first U.S. start after seven appearances as a substitute, and at 17 years, 353 days, became the youngest American to start a qualifier. Landon Donovan had set the mark of 18 years, 184 days against Honduras in 2001 — the last home qualifier the Americans lost.

Pulisic, who had two goals and an assist against St. Vincent and the Grenadines last week, showed pace and an ability to take on defenders down the left flank. He assisted on Altidore’s second goal.

Pulisic also had a memorable miss when his sliding shot in the first half hit the left post, ricocheted across the face of the goal and bounced off the right post.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that,” he said.

“After that, I didn’t think I was going to score because there’s no way after something like that.

Disappointing.” Coaches and teammates raved about the teenager’s poise.

“It’s crazy,” Altidore said.

“Seventeen years old and he has a calmness when he gets the ball.

He can glide by people almost effortlessly. The challenge for him is to stay hungry and keep improving and for you guys to leave him alone. He doesn’t need to be reading about himself too much right now. He just needs to keep his head and keep working.”

Added Klinsmann: “I don’t want to give him too many compliments. Got to keep him down on the ground.”

Trinidad (3-1-2) already had clinched a final-round berth and finished two points back, one ahead of Guatemala (3-2-1), which was eliminated despite a 9-3 rout of St. Vincent that included five goals by Carlos Ruiz.

Kljestan put the U.S. ahead in the 44th minute, and Altidore doubled the lead off Fabian Johnson’s cross in the 59th. Altidore got his 37th international goal three minutes later, and with the chance for a hat trick chipped over the crossbar after Pulisic helped him break in as injury time started.

“We were flowing,” Altidore said. “It was good. Guys were moving and creating space and being crafty. When we’re like

FIFA ethics committee places German official under probe

FRANKFURT — FIFA ethics investigators have recommended a fine and social work for a former high-ranking German soccer federation official for failing to report possible corruption around the 2006 World Cup. Helmut Sandrock resigned as general secretary of the German federation in February. His

former boss, federation president Wolfgang Niersbach, was banned from soccer for one year in July in the first sanction from the investigation into Germany’s World Cup bid. Niersbach stepped down from the job in November but remains a member of FIFA’s ruling council. He is appealing the suspension.

that, we’re on our game and we’re at our most dangerous.”

Kljestan scored with a toe shot from 10 yards out. After a throw in, Johnson played the ball to Kljestan, who flicked it back to the left back. He passed to Pulisic, whose cross was knocked out by Khaleem Hyland to teammate Radanfah Abu Bakr. His clearance hit Kljestan’s midsection, and Kljestan scored for the second straight game since his return to the national team, his sixth goal in 48 international appearances.

Johnson set up the second goal with a cross to Altidore, who juked MeKeil Williams, turned and scored from 13 yards. His second goal was even niftier.

Pulisic used a give-and-go with Kljestan to get open and then crossed to Altidore for a tap-in near the far post.

Arriola was making his second appearance. He scored in an exhibition win at Puerto Rico on May 22.

“We’re a little bit more dynamic,” said Tim Howard, who made his 32nd World Cup qualifying appearance and passed Kasey Keller for the most among American goalkeepers. “We added some young players to the fold.

Well, maybe they were part of it but they’re getting opportunities now. They make us a little more dynamic. We’re shifty. We’re able to press. It’s been a good change for us.” They can only hope it continues against Mexico.

“Now going into hexagonal with a big chest, saying, ‘OK, let’s take on Mexico in the first game,’ with a lot of confidence and respect, obviously,” Klinsmann said. “We see ourselves on the right path.” (ap)

Bale says La Liga title is Real’s top target this season

BARCELONA - Gareth Bale said Real Madrid are determined to wrest back the Spanish league title from Barcelona this season after going four years without tasting La Liga success. Bale has won the Champions League twice and the King’s Cup since joining the Bernabeu club in 2013, but the league title has proved elusive.

Real missed out on the league to Barcelona on the final day of last season by a point and have not won the title since 2012, when they collected a record 100 points under Jose Mourinho.

Real have won their opening two league games this season, with Bale scoring twice in their 3-0 win at Real Sociedad. They continue their campaign following the international break at home to Osasuna

on Saturday.

“It’s important we win the league this year because it’s been a long time since we last won it,” Bale said on Wednesday at an event organised by Adidas.

“That’s our focus this year although we want to win every trophy, including La Liga. I’m excited about our game with Osasuna, they will make things difficult for us but it’ll be fantastic because we’ll have our full team available.”

Real boast more La Liga triumphs than any other team in Spain with 32 titles but arch rivals Barcelona have claimed six of the last eight, while neighbours Atletico Madrid have won the league more recently than Real, lifting the trophy in 2014.

“In Madrid we dream about

winning everything and when we enter any competition we want to win it, the cup, the league, the Champions League, we want them all,” added Bale.

On the international front, Bale built on the rich vein of form he showed for Wales at Euro 2016 by scoring twice in a 4-0 win over Moldova on Monday, moving within four goals of equalling their all-time top scorer Ian Rush’s record of 28 strikes.

“People have told me that I haven’t got long to beat Rush’s record but that’s not important, I just want to perform well so we can qualify for major tournaments,” said Bale. “If we keep doing well, I’ll be able to keep scoring goals and beat the record.” (rtr)

Crystal Palace sign former Arsenal midfielder Flamini

Crystal Palace have signed midfielder Mathieu Flamini on a oneyear contract, the Premier League club announced on Thursday. The 32-yearold, who joined Palace on a free transfer, has made over 200 appearances in two spells with Arsenal.

He was without a club since leaving the Gunners at the end of last season. “Crystal Palace is a very ambitious club with great

players and I am looking forward to being part of that squad,” Flamini, who won the Serie A title with AC Milan in 2011, told the club’s website (www.cpfc.co.uk).

“It is a very interesting challenge for me and I am very excited to be here.” Palace, who have one point from their opening three league games this season, visit Middlesbrough on Saturday. (rtr)

Sp rt Altidore scores twice, US advances with 4-0 win over T&T JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jozy Altidore made U.S. history. So did Christian Pulisic. Altidore scored twice in a three-minute span of the second half, Sacha Kljestan and Paul Arriola had goals and the United States beat Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 on Tuesday night to reach the final round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

United States’ Paul Arriola (14) celebrates after scoring a goal against Trinidad & Tobago during the second half of a CONCACAF World Cup qualifying soccer match, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016, in Jacksonville, Fla. The United States won 4-0.

The Americans (4-1-1) finished atop Group C of the semifinal round in the North and Central American and Caribbean region and open the hexagonal on Nov. 11 against Mexico. That match almost certainly will be in Columbus, Ohio, where the U.S. has won four straight qualifiers over El Tri by 2-0 scores.

“No doubt in my mind,” coach Jurgen Klinsmann said of the site.

U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati later tweeted: “Guerra Fria?” After U.S. hosts Mexico, it plays four days later at Costa Rica.

Altidore, who missed most of the 2014 World Cup and all of this year’s Copa America because of hamstring injuries, hopes to remain on the field.

“I’m just trying to stay healthy, man,” he said. “I know I have a lot to give if I’m healthy. But that’s the key. For me, it’s just trying to stay on the field, and I know if I do that, I can help the team.”

Altidore etched his name in the record book by becoming the United States’ leader with 16 qualifying goals, two more than Clint Dempsey.

Pulisic made his first U.S. start after seven appearances as a substitute, and at 17 years, 353 days, became the youngest American to start a qualifier. Landon Donovan had set the mark of 18 years, 184 days against Honduras in 2001 — the last home qualifier the Americans lost.

Pulisic, who had two goals and an assist against St. Vincent and the Grenadines last week, showed pace and an ability to take on defenders down the left flank. He assisted on Altidore’s second goal.

Pulisic also had a memorable miss when his sliding shot in the first half hit the left post, ricocheted across the face of the goal and bounced off the right post.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that,” he said.

“After that, I didn’t think I was going to score because there’s no way after something like that.

Disappointing.” Coaches and teammates raved about the teenager’s poise.

“It’s crazy,” Altidore said.

“Seventeen years old and he has a calmness when he gets the ball.

He can glide by people almost effortlessly. The challenge for him is to stay hungry and keep improving and for you guys to leave him alone. He doesn’t need to be reading about himself too much right now. He just needs to keep his head and keep working.”

Added Klinsmann: “I don’t want to give him too many compliments. Got to keep him down on the ground.”

Trinidad (3-1-2) already had clinched a final-round berth and finished two points back, one ahead of Guatemala (3-2-1), which was eliminated despite a 9-3 rout of St. Vincent that included five goals by Carlos Ruiz.

Kljestan put the U.S. ahead in the 44th minute, and Altidore doubled the lead off Fabian Johnson’s cross in the 59th. Altidore got his 37th international goal three minutes later, and with the chance for a hat trick chipped over the crossbar after Pulisic helped him break in as injury time started.

“We were flowing,” Altidore said. “It was good. Guys were moving and creating space and being crafty. When we’re like

FIFA ethics committee places German official under probe

FRANKFURT — FIFA ethics investigators have recommended a fine and social work for a former high-ranking German soccer federation official for failing to report possible corruption around the 2006 World Cup. Helmut Sandrock resigned as general secretary of the German federation in February. His

former boss, federation president Wolfgang Niersbach, was banned from soccer for one year in July in the first sanction from the investigation into Germany’s World Cup bid. Niersbach stepped down from the job in November but remains a member of FIFA’s ruling council. He is appealing the suspension.

FIFA’s ethics committee found Niersbach guilty of failing to report findings of possible unethical conduct and conflicts of interest during the bidding process.

Sandrock is accused of similar misconduct and the ethics committee investigators recommended a fine of 50,000 Swiss

Ecclestone says new F1 owners would want him to stay

LONDON - Formula One’s commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been asked to stay on for three years after an imminent takeover of the sport is completed by U.S. cable TV mogul John Malone’s Liberty Media.

“They want me to be here for three years,” the 85-year-old, who over the decades has built the sport into a business with annual turnover of around $1.9 billion, told Reuters on Wednesday.

Media reports have suggested the first part of a broader deal between outgoing rights holders CVC and Liberty Media could be announced on Wednesday.

However Ecclestone and CVC chairman Donald Mackenzie voiced some scepticism about the time frame at last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.

“Honestly, I don’t think anybody knows -- including our friends from Liberty, and Donald,” said Ecclestone, who still expected the deal to get over the line.

The Briton said he would not be attending next week’s Singapore Grand Prix, the social highlight of the sport’s Asian calendar, because of the negotiations.

“Because all this is going through, they (CVC) want me to be there (in London) to help them with all sorts of things. I can’t afford to be away for five to six days.”

TUESDAY MEETING A Formula One board meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, by which time the deal should have

been finalised and a new chairman introduced.

Ecclestone expects that to be Chase Carey, executive vice-chairman of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox and a director of Sky News owner Sky Plc, who would replace Austrian Peter BrabeckLetmathe.

Brabeck, 71, has been chairman since 2012 but has recently recovered from cancer and is due to step down as chairman of Nestle, the world’s largest food and drink company, in 2017.

Ecclestone, famously unwilling to delegate in the past, indicated he would be happy to share the workload.

“He (Carey) can do lots of things that I haven’t done with this social media, which he seems to be in touch with. He’s been dealing with sponsorship with his TV people.

Between us we’ll get on with it,” he said.

Ecclestone’s future had been called into question, with former team owner and television pundit Eddie Jordan saying on Sunday that Monza could even be the Briton’s last race.

“That’s Eddie Jordan. If he had any money, and wanted a small wager, I’d give him good odds,” said Ecclestone. (rtr)

LOS ANGELES - American swimmer Ryan Lochte has been suspended for 10 months, U.S. media reported on Wednesday, following a scandal involving the U.S. Olympic athlete and three other swimmers at the Rio Games.

The suspension was handed down by the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Swimming, USA Today reported, citing an unnamed source. Celebrity gossip website TMZ, citing unnamed sources, also reported the suspension. No further details were available.

Reuters could not independently confirm the reports. Neither the U.S. Olympic Committee nor USA Swimming immediately AP Photo/Michael Sohn, File responded to requests for comment.

In this Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016, file photo, United States’ Ryan Lochte checks his Lochte, 32, was dropped by four of his time in a men’s 4x200-meter freestyle heat during the swimming competitions major sponsors after admitting he “overexagat the 2016 Summer Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. gerated” a tale about being robbed and held at

gunpoint with the three other swimmers after a party during the Rio Olympics.

Brazilian authorities said the group destroyed a bathroom and urinated in public, and have recommended that Lochte be charged with falsely reporting a crime.

USA Today also reported that the three other swimmers were suspended, although for shorter lengths of time, and that Lochte would be banned from a championship swim meet in Budapest in 2017.

Late last month, ABC television said Lochte was joining the cast of “Dancing With the Stars,” a competition in which celebrities are paired with professional ballroom dancers.

That announcement came as the gold medalist said he thought reaction to his Rio de Janeiro tale had been blown out of proportion. (rtr)

Trump in TV event with Clinton, says Putin better leader than Obama

NEW YORK - Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama, as the Republican presidential nominee used a televised forum to argue he was best equipped to reassert America’s global leadership.

Trump suggested at the event in which he and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton made back-to-back appearances that U.S. generals had been stymied by the policies of Obama and Clinton, who served as the Democratic president’s first secretary of state.

“I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point that’s embarrassing for our country,” Trump said at NBC’s “Commander-in-Chief” forum in New York attended by military veterans.

It was the first time Trump and Clinton had squared off on the same stage since accepting their parties’ presidential nominations in July for the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton was grilled over her handling of classified informa-

tion while using a private email server during her tenure at the State Department. FBI Director James Comey had declared her “extremely careless” in her handling of sensitive material but did not recommend charges against her.

“I did exactly what I should have done and I take it very seriously, always have, always will,” she said.

Trump’s praise of Putin and his suggestion that the United States and Russia form an alliance to defeat Islamic State militants could raise eyebrows among foreign policy experts who feel Moscow is interfering with efforts to stem the Syrian civil war.

“If he says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him,” Trump said of the Russian president. “Certainly in that system, he’s been a leader,

far more than our president has been.”

Trump had called Obama “the founder of ISIS,” an acronym for Islamic State, in stump speeches several weeks ago. The statement drew broad criticism, prompting him to take a more disciplined approach to campaigning. He has since picked up ground on Clinton in national opinion polls.

Trump also flirted with revealing what he had been learning in classified intelligence briefings given to him by U.S. officials because he is the Republican nominee.

“There was one thing that shocked me,” Trump said. “What I did learn is that our leadership, Barack Obama, did not follow what our experts ... said to do, and I was very, very surprised. ...Our leaders were not following what they recommended.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump pledged to launch a new U.S. military buildup, saying America was under threat like never before from foes like Islamist extremists, North Korea and China. (rtr)

European Council President Donald Tusk arrives in Downing Street in London, Britain September 8, 2016.

Britain should start EU divorce talks soon, says Tusk

LONDON - Britain should start talks to leave the European Union as soon as possible, European Council President Donald Tusk said on Thursday, adding weight to calls for Prime Minister Theresa May to start the formal divorce procedure.

In London, Tusk met May for their first head-to-head meeting since Britain voted to leave the bloc in a referendum on June 23 which led to the resignation of her predecessor David Cameron. Tusk and May are keen to discuss what steps might be taken over the next few months, officials said.

May has said Britain will not trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty to start the exit procedure this year to give her government time to come up with a negotiating stance for the complicated talks that will shape the country’s future standing.

“Our goal (is) to establish closest possible EU-UK relations. Ball in UK court to start negotiations.

In everybody’s best interest to start ASAP (as soon as possible),” Tusk said on Twitter.

As head of the European Council, which groups heads of EU states and governments, Tusk leads the body that defines the bloc’s political direction and priorities.

EU officials are keen to move quickly on the talks, fearing uncertainty over future relations is hurting investment.

But some data suggests that Britain’s economy, while slowing

sharply, has recovered from the initial impact of the vote. Reports published on Thursday showed firms increasing the number of permanent staff and house prices rising, albeit from low levels.

Lawmakers who had lobbied for Britain to leave the EU in the run up to the referendum have taken the economic data as proof that the ‘remain’ campaign had tried to frighten voters into staying by forecasting economic difficulties.

One, Liam Fox, who is now trade minister, said Britain was pressing on with plans to reach agreements with some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies.

He told parliament the government had set up a working group with India.

On Wednesday, May’s spokeswoman said the meeting with Tusk would not only cover Britain’s exit, or “Brexit”, but would also discuss issues on the agenda for the October meeting of EU leaders, suggesting that Britain still plans to play a role.

May has said she will not show her hand before starting the Brexit talks, giving few details of what her government wants when it leaves the EU. She says reducing immigration into Britain is crucial after millions of Britons expressed their frustration in the vote over what they say is the stress on schools, hospitals and housing from high numbers of people settling in the country.

BUSINESS In North Korea, China’s Xiaomi gets the people’s pulses racing

BEIJING/SEOUL - China’s smartphone and accessory maker Xiaomi Inc is winning hearts and minds in North Korea with its wearable fitness band, Chinese state media said on Thursday, a symbol of the isolated state’s increasingly sophisticated consumer classes.

The Mi Band 2, selling for $35 in Pyongyang compared to the China price of 149 yuan ($22.36), sold out at the North Korean capital’s international trade exhibition, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Xiaomi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

North Korea is home to a rising class of consumers known as “donju” meaning “masters of money”, thanks to a growing unofficial economy.

North Korean state-owned businesses have attempted to capture some of this new cash with homegrown products, but cheaper and more technologically advanced Chinese imports are easily available in markets and shops.

“The people of (North Korea) are pursuing high-quality life as much as anywhere else in the world,” said Gong Yunhong, a salesperson running the booth selling Xiaomi’s bracelet, according to Xinhua.

On a trip to the reclusive country in May, a Reuters reporter noted several people on the streets of Pyongyang wearing Xiaomi-style fitness trackers.

Xiaomi - which at the end of 2014 raised funding at a valuation of $45 billion, but which since then has been struggling with flagging growth and aggressive rivals - has expanded into various countries outside its homeland, but does not list North Korea among them.

Nor has the start-up flagged any intention to enter the country, which has long been subject to crippling sanctions over an ongoing nuclear missile programme and severe human rights abuses.

Xinhua’s report noted that North Korean owners of the Mi Band 2 were unable to connect the fitness device to their mobile phones, rendering some functions useless.

Bluetooth has recently been disabled on North Korean-made mobile phones. Most domestically produced devices do not have Wifi enabled and the internet is an intranet, while uncensored access to the outside world is reserved for a small circle of elite and privileged figures.(rtr)

European shares near eight-month highs as Micro Focus surges

LONDON - European stock markets gained ground on Thursday, leaving a leading index near eight-month highs, with software company Micro Focus surging after a deal with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The pan-European STOXX 600 index was up 0.2 percent, near its highest level in eight months.

Lei Jun (L), founder and chief executive officer of Xiaomi, and Hugo Barra, Xiaomi’s vice president of international operations, display Mi 4i phones during its launch in New Delhi April 23, 2015.

Micro Focus rose around 20 percent, the best-performing stock on the STOXX 600 index, after sealing an $8.8 billion deal for Hewlett Packard Enterprise to merge its non-core software assets with Micro Focus’s business.

However, Rocket Internet fell 5 percent after the German ecommerce investment company cut the valuation of its Home24 online furniture business. Many investors were also focusing on a European Central Bank meeting later in the day.

Expectations of more pledges to help the sluggish euro zone

economy from ECB President Mario Draghi have pushed down bond yields, which in turn has driven investors over to the better returns available from stocks and company dividends.

“Draghi isn’t anywhere near to achieving his goals, and he might very well continue to assure the market that there might be more to come and that he still has tools available to boost growth,” said Markus Huber, trader at City of London Markets Limited.

The euro zone economy is widely expected to need more stimulus from the central bank, but it may not

come at the bank’s policy meeting on Thursday.

Growth and inflation remain weak, but the ECB has already exhausted much of its firepower, so Draghi has to pick his time and probably has enough arguments to wait a bit longer.

Nonetheless, it is probably just a matter of months before the ECB eases policy further, acknowledging that inflation is not moving higher, despite free credit to banks, recordlow interest rates and money printing worth 1.2 trillion euros ($1.35 trillion) in the past year and a half.

The STOXX 600 index is down around 4 percent so far in 2016, although it has rallied over the last two months from lows reached back in June after Britain’s shock ‘Brexit’ vote to quit the European Union.(rtr)

The president said the partnership between ASEAN and China should be able to realize peace, stability and security in South China Sea. “The partnership between ASEAN and China has to be able to attain peace, stability and security in South China Sea by respecting the international law,” the president asserted.

President Joko Widodo argued that the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) should be implemented fully and effectively.

“The Code of Conduct should be completed soon because the South China Sea territory is not an area for muscle flexing by big powers,” he added.

The president welcomed and supported the implementation of the Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) in the South China Sea and a hotline for communication among the high-level officials related to the maritime emergency response in South China Sea.

“I am sure that the implementation of CUES and setting up of a hotline will contribute to peace, security and stability in South China Sea,” the president underlined. The president also encouraged ASEAN and China to promote stability and security along the main sea lane in the region.

Therefore, according to him, the related states should start implementing the EAS (East Asia Summit) Statement on Enhancing Regional Maritime Cooperation, which was agreed upon in 2015.

“This is important in order to enhance the level of trust among the countries in the region,” the president reasoned.

This year, ASEAN and China are commemorating the 25th anniversary of partnership as China became an ASEAN dialogue partner in 1991.

In the future, the president stressed, ASEAN and China should prioritize balanced and mutually beneficial economic relations.(ant)

Judicial team suppresses proliferation of chain modern stores

DENPASAR - The government has not been able to overcome the development of chain modern stores in Denpasar considering many chain modern stores appear in numbers. To suppress the proliferation of modern stores in Denpasar, the judicial team returned to supervise. At this time the judicial team led by the Head of the Denpasar Commerce and Industry Agency Wayan Gatra went to a modern store on Jalan Kebo Iwa Selatan and Jalan Gunung Sanghyang, Monday (Sep. 5).

According to Gatra, in the supervision made by the government of Denpasar, both stores were indicated as chain store. It can be known from the computer system in the cashier remaining to display the logo of a certain chain store and the price list of the goods was also fooled by reversing it.

In addition, the store attendant could not present the current operating license when being raided. Seeing this condition, Gatra instantly reminded and summon the owner to the office of Denpasar municipal police.

Gatra further said the discipline should be carried out sustainably.

If there is permit inappropriate with the operations in the field, the first step to do is reprimanding it. If the reprimand is not addressed, it will be followed up by the Denpasar municipal police by sealing the store. “We have done so to some modern stores at this time,” he said.

On that account, Gatra called on the people to sell in conformity with their permit. In addition, the Mayoral Regulation No.9/2009 on Modern Market, Modern Store and Traditional Stores has set the quota of 295 stores. According to him, modern stores chiefly the chain ones should be limited. Otherwise, it will have bad impact on small stores.

Although local government has limited the number of modern stores in Denpasar, in fact, many chain stores are found to covertly make partnerships with third party, such as the people having the permit of grocery store.

To anticipate the proliferation of chain modern stores and overcome unfair competition Gatra asked the people to manage their store modernly.

By managing the store modernly, the competitiveness will be the same as the chain modern stores. He added that to control the proliferation of chain store collaboration, the integrated licensing and investment office will also monitor before issuing a permit. (kmb12)

When contacted on Monday (Sep. 5) after attending a plenary session in the Karangasem House of Representatives, Regent of Karangasem, IGA Mas Sumatri, said that Karangasem has not applied antidisease technology to rotten stem disease in banana in Karangasem.

She will establish a team and ask for input from agricultural experts.

In the meantime, Deputy Regent of Karangasem, Wayan Artha Dipa, when met at the same location conveyed that banana plants all this time cannot be planted hap-

hazardly with other inappropriate plants. According to him, banana plant cannot be intercropped with cloves.

He hoped the field extension workers (PPL) in Karangasem to continuously seek knowledge and apply the science with farmers. It is meant to advance the agriculture in Karangasem to prosper farmers.

Most resident of this Bali’s easternmost region bears poverty and they work in agricultural sector in the broader sense. “A total of 54 percent of the Karangasem resi-

dents are struggling and living from agriculture. If the agriculture is advanced, farmers’ income is much higher than expenditures. Thus, the poverty will be overcome,” said Artha Dipa.

From the observation all this time, other than the rampant land conversion from banana plantation to non-agricultural, the plant has died for a long time. Banana trees have totally died in Karangasem due to rotten stem disease. Now, only certain types of banana remain to survive from the disease, such as stony seed banana, Cavendish banana and sapodilla banana remaining to save from the attack. In the meantime, Karangasem has not owned technology having the capability of making seedling resistant from wilt disease. (013)

Asia leaders tiptoe around South China Sea tensions

VIENTIANE - Asian leaders played down tensions over the South China Sea in a carefully worded summit statement on Thursday, but even before it was issued Beijing voiced frustration with countries outside the region “interfering” in tussles over the strategic waterway.

The heads of 10 Southeast Asian nations, as well as U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang among six other leaders, “reaffirmed the importance of maintaining peace, stability, security and freedom of navigation in and over-flight in the South China Sea”.

But the draft of a statement to be issued in Vientiane, Laos, tiptoed around the regional strains caused by competing claims to areas of the strategically important sea.

“Several leaders remained seriously concerned over recent developments in the South China Sea,” said the draft.

The statement, seen by Reuters, made no reference to a July ruling by a court in The Hague that declared illegal some of China’s artificial islands in the sea and invalidated its claims to almost the entire waterway.

Obama said on Thursday the ruling had helped clarify maritime

rights. “I recognise this raises tensions but I also look forward to discussing how we can constructively move forward together to lower tensions,” he said at a summit meeting.

Officials said that talks on Wednesday between leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China’s Li had gone smoothly.

But in a statement later from China’s Foreign Ministry, Li was paraphrased as saying China was willing to work with Southeast Asian countries in “dispelling interference ... and properly handling the South China Sea issue”.

He did not elaborate, but such wording is typically used by Chinese leaders to refer to not allowing countries from outside the region with no direct involvement in the dispute, like the United States, from getting involved.

China claims much of the South China Sea, through which more

than $5 trillion of trade moves annually. Taiwan and four ASEAN members - Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei - also have claims, making it a hot spot of regional tension.

The other ASEAN nations are Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand. Leaders from Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, South Korea and the United States also attended the summit.

China has over the past year alarmed other claimants, and outside powers such as the United States and Japan, by re-claiming land on several disputed reefs through dredging, and building air fields and port facilities.

Shattering an illusion of cordiality at the summit in Laos on Wednesday, U.S. ally the Philippines released photographs and a map showing what it said was an increased number of Chinese vessels near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, which China seized after a standoff in 2012.

Its defence ministry expressed “grave concern” that Chinese boats were preparing to build structures at the shoal. (rtr)

SYDNEY - Three Australian airlines have banned passengers from using or charging Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Note 7 smartphones during flights due to concerns over the phone’s fire-prone batteries.

Qantas, its budget unit Jetstar and Virgin Australia said they had not been directed to ban the use of the phone by aviation authorities, but did so as a precaution following Samsung’s recall of the phones in 10 markets.

Although customers will still be able to bring the phones on flights, the ban extends to the phones being plugged in to flight entertainment systems where USB ports are available.

The recall follows reports of the 988,900 won ($885) phone igniting while charging - an embarrassing blow to Samsung, which prides itself on its manufacturing prowess and had been banking on the devices to add momentum to a recovery in its mobile business.

Samsung, the world’s biggest smartphone vendor, has sold 2.5 million of the premium devices so far.

“Following Samsung Australia’s recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 personal electronic device we are requesting that passengers who own them do not switch on or charge them in flight,” a Qantas spokesman said in an emailed statement.

Samsung Australia said in a statement that it had liaised with Qantas and Virgin Australia following the recall.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering its response to the Samsung recall and “working on guidance related to this issue,” according to a FAA statement quoted by technology website Gizmodo.

Airlines have previously banned hoverboards from planes due to battery-fire risks.

In February the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations’ agency, banned lithium-ion batteries from checked luggage following concerns from pilots and plane makers that they are a fire risk. (rtr)

Everyone Is Buying These Pieces From Lululemon

GOOD news for Lululemon lovers: The veteran cool athleisure brand is having a good year.

According to Fashionista, Lululemon’s profits have risen this year

for the first time since 2014, and their CFO Stuart Haselden is calling the past few months a “turning point” for the brand. The positive sales growth can be attributed to the

fact that the brand “sold more highmargin categories, ran fewer markdowns and reduced product costs.”

Specifically, in the womenswear category, Fashionista reports that

sales for textured tops with mesh, braiding, bonding, and engineered prints, as well as bra and tank sales all increased.

To further the good news, Lulu-

lemon plans on opening more stores across the globe in an effort to climb toward their goal of doubling their revenue (to a whopping $4 billion!) by the year 2020. (IBP/net)

Tanah Ampo pier cannot be extended

Indication of budget abuse increasingly strengthens

DENPASAR - The indication of budget misuse is increasingly stronger in the Tanah Ampo pier development project. Results of the consultation held by Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives to the Ministry of Transportation gave new facts. It is related to the issues on the pier considered to have inadequate length so that cruise ships are unable to moor. In fact, the pier is apparently not possible to be extended.

“Apparently the pier is not likely to be further extended because the end of the pier is already too deep.

Its depth is minus 17 meaning to reach 17 meters so that the issue on pier extension to 150 meters is not possible,” said Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, I Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, conveying the latest results of consultation to the Division Head of Sea Traffic, Directorate of Harbor Administration, Ministry of Transportation at the parliamentary house, Monday (Sep. 5).

Kariyasa added that in the current condition the pier can only be moored by cruise ships with a maximum length of 120 meters. In the meantime, the smallest cruise ship has a length of 300 meters.

But on the other hand, central government has been planning the construction of breakwater in 2017. Construction of the 100meter breakwater is meant to cope with big waves having become an obstacle for the operation of Tanah Ampo all this time. “However, it (the breakwater—Ed) will not enable larger ships of 300 meters in length to directly anchor on the pier,” said this PDI-P politician.

Kariyasa considered it strange when hearing the pier cannot be extended and the presence of big waves. In the meantime, the pier completely built in 2012, from the beginning is indeed designed to be moored by cruise ship. But now, the pier costing nearly IDR 100 billion cannot be used.

“In essence, this case has become the finding of the supreme audit agency (BPK), the money invested should be beneficial, either spent through district, provincial and state budget. If it is not exploited, it means there has been a budgetary misuse and it harms state finance,” he explained.

Kariyasa continued that it raised a big question for proponents of this project in the past, especially the district government why the project with the so large budget did not comply with the original purpose as a cruise pier. Central government must also take responsibility for issuing a massive budget over the proposal of the region.

“All this time, many projects have been made without good planning, such as the Tanah Ampo Pier and Gunaksa Pier but immediately spend the money and they cannot

be utilized. Is this the fault of the detailed engineering design or indeed just to make the project run,” he concluded.

A member of Commission III, Kadek Nuartana, saw there is an impression if the feasibility study and the DED were forced. As a result, the Tanah Ampo pier has not had the principle of benefit until now. Fortunately, the provincial government still allocates budget for the operating costs so that the project cannot be said to be dormant.

“The pier must function according to the initial plan. The budget must be accounted for because what is made must have the principle of benefit. It must be made a trial in order to find out the real weak point,” he said.

Chairman of Commission III, Nengah Tamba, agreed that the government should immediately make a trial to the Tanah Ampo pier even though it can only be moored by cruise ship with a maximum length of 120 meters.

According to him, there has been a proposal to conduct a trial in this September. After the trial, it will be resumed with the construction of breakwater.

“Our priority is the trial. We will invite all the stakeholders. Based on the result of the trial, we can make a recommendation whether it is feasible or not feasible. If not feasible, what is the solution? Do we need to change the function

or can the building of breakwater make it feasible?” he asked.

Earlier, Governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika, said that it had been agreed that the pier construction was done by central government, while the pier building or terminal by provincial government, and the road by district government. After the terminal and the road have been completed, in fact the pier made by central government only has the length of 150

meters. The budget to extend the pier is now stagnant.

“If the pier can be extended to about 200 meters, it can be moored by cruise ships and will revive all,” he added. Pastika added that the inadequate length makes cruise ships difficult to moor at the pier.

From the test results, cruise ships finally moored in the middle of the sea so that passengers wishing to the beach must be transported by barge. (kmb32)

Hundreds of Gretek residents face water crisis

SINGARAJA - Difficulty to get clean water supply is experienced until now by Gretek hamlet, Sambirenteng, Tejakula. A total of 650 families in the hilly region have difficulty in accessing clean water. Severe condition occurs in dry season. At this difficult time, residents are forced to spend up to IDR 1.2 million to buy clean water. The difficulty was revealed when they attended the recess of the Chairman of the Buleleng House of Representatives, Gede Supriatna, at Gretek hamlet, Monday (Sep. 5).

A local resident, Ketut Riana, in the meeting with the people’s representative expressed how difficult to get clean water supply is. This condition has occurred for many years and the water crisis routinely occurs during dry season every year. Currently, local residents rely on clean

water supply from reservoir in the center of local village and nearby areas. In dry season, the water supply is getting lower and lower, so that it is not sufficient to supply clean water for the entire residents.

On this condition, the residents are forced to buy water from tank truck at an expensive price. Moreover, on the peak of water crisis, they must pay at IDR 1.2 million just to buy clean water.

“Before the peak of dry season, the water stock in the reservoir stays enough, but when the peak arrives it will reduce. So, we have no choice by buy clean water and this has been happening for a long time. We hope there is concern so that the issues can be overcome,” he said.

According to Riana, the water source in the area is still enough.

Some locations remain to have

relatively large water discharge.

However, to drain water from the source requires high cost. He estimated the cost required to drain the water reaches about IDR 750 million. Such fund will be used to buy pumps, so that the water can be sucked from the source. After accommodated in a reservoir, it can be flowed into people’s home by applying gravity technique.

“The water source is located on private property and our constraint to suck is the absence of fund. If the local government gives priority, we hope it can help suck up the water, so that the water crisis can be resolved,” said Riana as confirmed by other residents.

After knowing the complaints of the residents, Supriatna said that district government so far has focused to overcoming the

problem of clean water. To cope with water shortages in eastern Buleleng, the district government has built a clean water network to drain water from the springs at Air Sanih, Kubutambahan. This effort is expected to help residents at Gretek hamlet resolve the clean water crisis. Another effort offered is to encourage local government to allocate budget to help capture water from the springs at the location.

With that capital, he is confident that next year the government can prioritize to build a clean water network at Gretek hamlet and surrounding areas.

“Government has handled the clean water issue. We hope this will be focused again because some villages or hamlets still do not have clean water facilities like this Gretek hamlet. We will com-

municate to the government. If the taking of springs at Air Sanih can reach the hamlet, surely this problem can be overcome. Otherwise, we ask the government to help residents drain the existing water sources. By and large, if there are springs, the proposal will get priority,” he explained.

Aside from clean water issue, the condition of roads in eastern Buleleng is still damaged and requires priority of handling by the government in the following years.

Other than complicating people to pass by, the damaged road also hampers the economic activities at the village. Collectors of crops and other agricultural commodities will get trouble when passing, so that their products will have low bargaining power due to high transportation costs. (kmb38)

COVER STORY

From page 1

This opinion was stated by Director of Vital Object Security of Bali Police, I Made Ardhana, at the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) at the Hotel Sovereign, Tuban recently. Since not all Balinese people understand about the concepts mentioned above, there is no harmonization between sociocultural concepts of Balinese Hindu and the one brought to Bali by migrant communities. The presence of migrants is now widely affect social concept in Bali, where it can even be said to have begun blurring the Balinese social concept.

“This condition is more alarming when the social concept of the migrant including travelers is boarded with the interests of individual or group. This could lead to social conflicts in Bali,” he said.

To that end, he considered it necessary to build a communication system and closer coordination among all the parties concerned with security in Bali, including the internal communication of the police units. He admitted that Bali Police make cooperation with local governments, especially in Badung and have made dissemination of information and technical guidance to many hotels so as to implement the hotel security management system (SMPH). Of the 111 hotels proposed to be verified only 44 hotels complied with the criteria.

Chief of Kuta customary village, I Wayan Swarsa, said that government of Badung has installed hundreds of CCTVs in public areas in Badung. This measure has provided direct security protection for the public. This needs to be balanced with jaga baya program as a form of innovation through the involvement

of pecalang (customary security guard) in maintaining customary territories of Bali. Until now, pecalang is still respected and trusted by the people and travelers as part of safeguarding the customs in Bali.

He said that customary villages in Bali have an administration system governing all activities of rural communities based on balance and harmony in the relationship between human with human, human with the environment and human with God as in the Tri Hita Karana concept, expected to be empowered to fill in the space of development formally uncovered by the government. It is realized that the movement of customary village administration should be dynamic and fast moving in accordance with the changing times.

Chairman of the PHRI Badung, Rai Suryawijaya, appealed to hoteliers and restaurateurs to help install CCTV in the street in front of

their respective business premises.

This is a strategic effort to escort Bali tourism. This measure can be classified into CSR activities for the

benefit of business sector including in guarding the security of customary territories due to rapid growth of tourism sector. (kmb)

Ketapian Market

Started from local merchants, now dominated by urban merchants

DENPASAR - Ketapian Market located on Jalan Pucuk 2 Sumerta, East Denpasar, was established in 1978. Seeing the people’s needs for the centers of public services, the government then established schools and hospitals including market.

Ketapean Market was built by municipal government on the area of 2,200 square meters.

“Seeing the people’s needs, the government took the initiative to

build the market. So, the building was constructed first and then

traders began to arrive. Until today, the merchants spill onto Jalan Katrangan,” said Division Head of Local Company Supervisory Board of the PD Pasar Denpasar, A.A. Ngurah Yuliartha.

With the two-story building having the area of 1,338 square meters, the Ketapean Market accommodates more than 263 merchants, consisting of 64 stalls, 154 shanties and 83 courtyard merchants. “This market was built first to complete the infrastructure. Then, it was followed by the presence of merchants, while the Badung Market is inherited from the Kingdom of Denpasar,” he added.

At first, the merchants selling at the Ketapian Market were residents from the surrounding areas of Ketapean hamlet. Gradually, due to the influence of urbanization, many migrants saw the business opportunity and do selling at the Ketapean Market so that in the long run it was also filled in by merchants from outside the city and even from outside the province. Now, the local merchants amount to not more than 30 percent.

“Majority of the merchants

is the urbanites, some are from outside the district or province, but they are mostly from other districts,” he said.

Its annual income potential is targeted to reach IDR 68 million and recognized the realization is not much different from the target.

“If deviating, it will maximally reach 0.2 percent because our target is very realistic,” he said. The revenue is derived from the rental and levies. Since the minimum rental period is two years, he can raise the rental price every two years depending on the economic condition. Before raising the rental price, he conducted a feasibility study on the rental increase.

For the sake of food security sold at Ketapian Market, the market management makes cooperation with the Denpasar Agency for Drugs and Food Control (BBPOM) in terms of supervision and testing because food containing hazardous substance cannot be seen by naked eyes but should pass through laboratory test. When found any food containing hazardous substance, it will be communicated to the head of the market to be further provided with coaching.

“Due to the use of chemicals is not entirely the fault of merchants but the suppliers, it has to be sought after the source as not all merchants produce their own goods. Only few merchants make their own goods. Most merchants sell finished goods, unless they make their own product, then we issue a reprimand letter to cancel their rental rights,” he explained.

In the meantime, to anticipate the inappropriate scale reading, PD Pasar will provide scale calibration. If buyers feel suspicious about inappropriate scales, they can re-scale their goods at the calibration office. “If the scale reading is considered inappropriate, please report it to the security guard to be followed up to the merchant. If it is truly inappropriate, we will seize,” he said.

As planned, the scale calibration office will be set up in 2017 in collaboration with the metrology agency. As for food safety, his agency usually provides education and dissemination coinciding with annual meeting of the cooperatives in cooperation with the Denpasar Agency of Drug and Food Control.

Actor Ken Zhu of F4 Meteor Garden and Actress Wife Han Wen Wen Tied Their Knot at Mulia Bali

Actor & Singer Ken Zhu (Taiwan) from the popular TV show Meteor Garden and F4 group married his wife Han Wen Wen / Vivien Han (China) at The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas – Nusa Dua, Bali. The beautiful wedding ceremony took place at the floating glass chapel – Eternity, while the reception was celebrated at Mulia Bali’s newly launched Unity Garden by the beach. The couple was surprised by the presence of Jerry Yan, as he has previously declined to attend only to surprise his best friend as they walk into the chapel gliding hands with Vanness Wu. Ken Zhu and Vivian Han fell in love with Mulia Bali after their wedding photo-shoot for one of China’s bridal magazine earlier this year, they started changing their plans from hosting their weddings in Beijing to Bali.

The wedding procession starts on 2 September 2016 with Brides & Bridesmaid tea party at Mulia Villas. Then followed by the exquisite welcome dinner at Soleil - the signature beachfront dining with tables inside and out, facing the magnificent view of the tranquil

ocean, specialized in delectable dishes with a Mediterranean touch, as well as exotic cuisines from Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

The restaurant has also been recently nominated “20 Best Restaurants In The World” by Veranda.com, joining a list of world’s top end Michelin rated restaurant.

On 3 September, at 9.18 AM the groom departed from his Villa to “Fetch the Bride”, a Chinese tradition where the Bridesmaid will throw games and the groom and his bestman must accomplish the task to prove his love. Including defrosting a block of ice to get to the key and unlock the Bride’s villa door, among many other games. The tradition ended with Ken carrying his new Bride back to his villa and feeding each other Chinese noodles and rice ball.

and guipure accents, and the groom donned in a custom handmade tuxedo. Their best moments completed with the presence of Vanness Wu which previously had confirmed his wedding attendance, while Vic Zhou was not able to attend due to his newborn child and last Jerry Yan had declined to participate due to work commitment, but had actually planned a surprise by checking into Mulia Villas without the couple’s awareness and made a surprise appearance that took Ken by surprise.

After the wedding bells rang, the gala dinner was served at the newly launched Unity Garden - featuring endless views of the Indian Ocean and the iconic Balinese Geger Temple perched on the cliff of Nusa Dua bay. The show started with the couple first tango dance, followed by Ken and his band’s live performance and was completed by Vivien’s solo guitar performance that they have been rehearsing for quite some time. While everyone thought the reception was completed with fireworks show and a cake prepared by Mulia Deli that

followed by a cake cutting. An impromptu performance of Meteor Garden theme song sung by Ken, Jerry and Vanness made F4 true fans cheering in tears; the night was closed with a highlight of Me-

teor Garden performance at Mulia Bali’s new Unity Garden.

Madonna, Guy Ritchie settle child custody dispute

NEW YORK - Singer Madonna and her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, have settled a custody dispute over their 16-year-old son Rocco, a court official in New York said on Wednesday.

It was not immediately announced with which parent the teenager would live.

Madonna, 58, and Ritchie, 47, have been in a legal battle over their son since December, when the teenager ignored a court order to fly back from Ritchie’s London

home to live with his mother in New York.

The “Material Girl” singer, who concluded her worldwide “Rebel Heart” tour in March, and Ritchie, director of 2009 film “Sherlock Holmes,” married in 2000. After they divorced in 2008, they agreed that Rocco would live with Madonna.

In March, a New York judge and a British judge both separately urged the former spouses to find an amicable resolution for Rocco’s sake.

Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for

the New York State court system, confirmed the case was officially settled on Wednesday but did not immediately provide further information.

Details of the settlement also were not revealed in online court records. Attorneys for Ritchie did not immediately return calls for comment and a representative for Madonna’s lawyers said they do not comment on cases involving children. Madonna and Ritchie also have an adopted son who was born in Malawi. (rtr)

ESCORTING Bali and the civilization is getting more difficult in the future. Conflict intensity tends to be on the rise and the growing complexity of population problem makes Bali deal with a thousand and one problems. Growth rate of Bali tourism also makes Balinese people face the competition in the tourism sector where recently it has an impact on the increasing disruption of social order. This condition will clearly have an impact on the effort of Bali conservation as a safe and comfortable living space.

To address the potential conflicts and strengthening challenge of escorting Bali in the future, the concept of Tri Hita Karana (THK), Tri Kaya Parisuda, karmic law and the brotherhood should be put into practice accordingly. With this actualization concept, Bali would surely become safe.

Hungary charges camerawoman accused of tripping fleeing migrants

BUDAPEST - Hungarian prosecutors filed charges on Wednesday against a camerawoman accused of kicking and tripping migrants fleeing police near the southern border with Serbia last year. Petra Laszlo was fired form her job at N1TV, a television station with nationalist sympathies, after video footage spread online appearing to show her kicking a girl and a young man.

Her prosecution for disorderly conduct comes as political tensions mount over Europe’s migration crisis in the region. Hungary is holding a referendum on whether to accept EU migrant quotas on Oct. 2, the same say as the far-right Freedom

Party is standing in presidential elections in neighbouring Austria.

Prosecutors described how hundreds of migrants broke through a police cordon and out of a holding area and headed toward Szeged, a nearby city in September last year.

Laszlo was directly behind the police officers and filmed migrants as they ran. “While filming she kicked a young man in the shin with a swift kick of the sole of her right foot, and also kicked young girl around the knee with her right foot,” the prosecutors said in a statement.

There was no evidence of a racially motivated hate crime, they added.

Laszlo was not immediately reachable for comment. Last year she told the daily Magyar Nemzet that she felt remorse over what had happened.

“I am practically in shock from

what I did, and what was done to me,” Laszlo said. “I am not heartless (or) racist... I am a woman, a mother of small children, who has since lost her job, and who made a bad decision in panic.”

Prosecutors said she had not kicked a man carrying a small child, one of the accusations she had faced during last year’s online furore. “(Laszlo) kicked toward a man carrying a child in his hands, but the kick did not reach the man. The man carrying the child still fell, because... one of the policemen tried

to catch and restrain him, and he lost his balance as he broke free.”

The man, a soccer coach named Osama Abdul Mohsen, went on to Spain where a sports school offered to find him work.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
