Foo Fighters, Natalie Portman cancel events in Paris

NEW YORK — The Foo Fighters, Natalie Portman, U2 and other entertainers have canceled events in Paris ollowing deadly terrorist attacks in the city.

Natalie Portman The Foo Fighters canceled the remaining dates of their European tour, including a planned show in Paris on Monday. Film distributor Mars said Saturday it had canceled promotional appearances for the film “Jane Got a Gun” starring Portman.

The Oscar-winning actress was scheduled to appear at the film’s premiere and junket interviews on Monday in Paris.

“Because of the events (Friday) night, we are canceling TV appearances, junket and preview appearances with Natalie Portman Nov. 15-16,” the film distributor said in a statement Saturday.

“Bridge of Spies” — where Steven Spielberg, Mark Rylance and Amy Ryan were scheduled to appear — was canceled by the film’s distributor, Twentieth Century Fox. U2 postponed its Saturday night concert in Paris, which was to be aired by HBO. The Foo Fighters were scheduled to play at the Accor Hotels Arena in Paris on Monday.

The Dave Grohl-led band canceled Friday night’s show in Casalecchio Di Reno, Italy, as well as concerts in Turin, Italy; Lyon, France; and Barcelona, Spain.

“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt concern for everyone in Paris that we have been forced to announce

the cancellation of the rest of our tour.

In light of this senseless violence, the closing of borders, and international mourning, we can’t continue right now,” the band said in a statement released Saturday.

“There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was hurt or who lost a loved one.”

At least 129 people were killed Friday at suicide bombings near France’s national stadium, shootings at Paris cafes and a hostage-taking inside the concert theater Bataclan, where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to perform.

The terrorism-themed movie “Made in France” had a Nov. 18 release date but it was being postponed. The French film’s poster shows an automatic rifle on top of the Eiffel Tower.

The Grammy-winning U.S. rock band Deftones were also scheduled to play at the venue on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

“Thank for all your inquiries on our well being. Band/Crew all safe and accounted for at this time. Prayers for those affected in these tragic events,” Deftones wrote on its Facebook page on Friday.

U2 said they will perform their show “at an appropriate time.”

“We watched in disbelief and shock at the unfolding events in Paris and our hearts go out to all the victims and their families across the city tonight,” the band said in a statement released Friday. “We are devastated at the loss of life at the Eagles of Death Metal concert and our thoughts and prayers are with the band and their fans. And we hope and pray that all of our fans in Paris are safe.” (ap)

First attacker identified from Paris carnage

PARIS - French police have identified the first of seven gunmen who killed at least 129 people in a wave of carnage claimed by the Islamic State group, as international investigators stepped up their probes into Paris’s worst ever attacks.

French authorities Saturday named the first attacker as 29year-old Omar Ismail Mostefai, who was identified from a severed finger found at Bataclan concert hall, scene of the worst of the bloodshed.

IS jihadists said they were behind the gun and suicide attacks that left a trail of destruction at a sold-out concert hall, at restaurants and bars, and outside France’s Stade de France national stadium.

President Francois Hollande called the coordinated assault on Friday night an “act of war” as the capital’s normally bustling streets fell eerily quiet, 10 months after attacks on magazine Charlie Hebdo shocked the nation.

Meanwhile the investigation widened across Europe, with Belgian police arresting several suspects and German authorities probing a possible link to a man recently found with a car of explosives. The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one attacker has raised suspicions some of the assailants might have entered Europe as part of an influx of people fleeing Syria’s civil war.

“We confirm that the (Syrian) passport holder came through the Greek island of Leros on October 3, where he was registered under EU rules,” said the Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas.

Scenes of horror as a Paris night becomes a bloodbath

THE ASSAILANTS’ weapons were those of war: automatic rifles and suicide belts of explosives. The killing was indiscriminate, spread across a swath of the city, in at least six different sites. An ordinary Friday night in Paris transformed

into a bloodbath. The word Parisians used over and over as they tried to make sense of the horror was “carnage.”

At the packed Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris, the attackers opened fire on a crowd waiting to hear American rock band Eagles of Death Metal perform. One witness told France Info radio he heard them yell “Allahu Akbar” — God is great in

Arabic — as they started their killing spree and took hostages. The city’s police chief, Michel Cadot, said the assailants also wore explosive belts, which they detonated.

About a mile (1.5 kilometers) from there, attackers sprayed gunfire at the Belle Equipe bar, busy as ever on a Friday night with patrons unwinding from their week.

One witness, also speaking to French radio,

said the dead and wounded dropped “like flies” and that “there was blood everywhere.

You feel very alone in moments like that.”

The preliminary death toll there appeared to be 18 dead, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. White sheets were laid over bodies.

COVER STORY

Activities

To the north, loud explosions reverberated around the national stadium, packed with some 80,000 fans watching France beat Germany in a soccer exhibition match. One of the loud detonations in the chill air so startled French player Patrice Evra that he paused in mid-run, seemingly lost, and kicked away the ball.

A police union official, Gregory Goupil, said the two explosions were suicide attacks and a bombing that killed at least three people — near two of the entrances to the stadium and a McDonalds. The stadium was the first site targeted.

From there, the wave of killings quickly spread.

There were 14 dead on one street, five on another, Molins said. The spread of the killings added to the confusion and made a coherent picture slow to form.

But the shock was instantaneous, as was the understanding that this was terror and killing on a scale unseen in Paris since World War II. “The terrorists, the assassins, sprayed the outsides of several cafes with machine guns and went inside,” Cadot, the police chief, said. “So there were victims in terrible and atrocious

dining in a restaurant in the trendy neighborhood when he heard sounds like the fireworks for France’s Bastille Day national holiday.

Then the panic began.

“Waiters went outside and said it was a shooting. We saw dozens of people rundown the street, a couple were bleeding,” he said.

As police, soldiers and the emergency services sprang into action, sirens wailing, helicopters whirring overhead, medical personnel started reporting for work of their own accord to help treat the injured. Five subway lines were shut down entirely, and Paris police told people to stay at home and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

At the Bataclan, police launched an assault to free hostages. Haggard-looking survivors were bused away.

At the stadium, fans streamed onto the pitch after the match, preferring the relative safety of inside of the stadium to the chaos outside. Police forensic officers dressed in white scoured the blast sites for evidence.

French President Francois Hollande was quickly evacuated from the stadium and soon after declared a state of emergency. (ap)

Paris attack sites: from national stadium to party district

- Bataclan concert hall, 89 dead -

The popular 1,500-capacity venue in eastern Paris was sold out for a concert by the US band Eagles of Death Metal. About an hour after the band took to the stage, black-clad gunmen carrying AK-47s stormed into the hall and opened fire on the concert-goers, methodically reloading after emptying their magazines.

They remained holed up inside the venue -- holding those present hostage -- for nearly three hours, killing at least 89 people and injuring scores more.

Two of the assailants blew themselves up after police stormed the venue shortly after midnight, while the third was shot by police.

- Stade de France, 1 dead -

French flags fly as the closed Eiffel Tower is seen in the background on the first of three days of national mourning in Paris, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2015.

At the same time, the first of three explosions was heard outside the Stade de France national football stadium during the first half of a friendly between France and Germany. French President Francois Hollande, who was watching the game, was immediately evacuated and the access to the venue sealed off.

One passer-by was killed outside the glittering stadium

that staged the 1998 World Cup final, along with three suicide bombers.

The two sides played on to the end. Afterwards, bewildered fans pour onto the pitch while waiting for all the exits to be declared secure.

- Rue de Charonne, 19 dead -

Back in the east of Paris, on Rue de Charonne, at least 19 people were killed when gunmen opened fire on the terrace of La Belle Equipe restaurant, with witnesses describing the gunmen as firing from a black Seat.

- Rue Alibert, at least 15 dead -

The terrace of Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge on Rue Alibert in the 10th district and La Carillon bar on the opposite side of the street were the scene of another attack.

The gunfire left at least 15 people dead at the two venues. Witnesses said the assailants arrived in a black Seat Leon car.

- Rue de la Fontaine au Roi, at least 5 dead -

A few hundred metres (yards) from the Bataclan, one or more attackers also raked the terrace of the Casa Nostra pizzeria with gunfire.

- Suicide blast on Boulevard Voltaire -

A suicide blew himself up on Boulevard Voltaire, near the Bataclan, seriously injuring one person.

Every Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses.

Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.

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

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

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

Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.

Bigger, more accessible museum proposed at Statue of Liberty

NEW YORK — A full-scale copper replica of Lady Liberty’s face is the first thing that greets visitors to the museum in the base of the Statue of Liberty.

But the face that gives visitors a chance to get up close and personal with an aspect of the statue that otherwise looms far out of reach is available to only a limited number of visitors. The museum is open only to those who have tickets to the pedestal or the crown.

The National Park Service wants to change that, and has proposed building a larger museum on Liberty Island that would be available

to all of the approximately 4 million annual visitors to the site, not just the 20 percent or so who have statue tickets.

“We’d like to make the visit as enriching as possible,” said John Piltzecker, superintendent of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, who earlier this month announced the opening of public comment on the idea, among the initial steps to

making it a reality.

The next step would be working with a private foundation to raise money for the planned 20,000square-foot (1,860-square-meter) museum, since no federal dollars would be used for the project. Piltzecker didn’t have a figure on what the project could cost but was nonetheless optimistic the museum would open in three to five years.

The park service has a location in mind, on the northwest side of the island

somewhat away from the entrance to the statue, and has started thinking about what would go in it.

One possibility would be the original torch, which currently greets visitors in the pedestal lobby since it was removed in 1984. The material that’s in the current museum, which covers the history of the statue as well as how it was made, would also make the move. That would include the giant face, as well as a replica of the statue’s foot, and exhibits looking at the models and molds used to create Lady Liberty, a gift from France for the American

centennial. It was dedicated at its Liberty Island site in 1886, 10 years after the centennial/ Eileen Gormley, visiting from Princeton, New Jersey, said having access to the museum was important. “This part here is very important and very informative and to just walk up and look at it, you don’t get any of the background and history.”

Michael Miller, of El Dorado Hills in California, agreed.

“It brings it to life,” he said. “It helps to make the seeing of the image itself more meaningful.” (ap)

”IGS and 28th ACSIC Conference”

IGS and 28th ACSIS conference held in Bali

Help to strengthen SME through exchange of knowledge

NUSA DUA - The Association of Indonesia Guarantee Corporation (Asippindo) considers it very strategic to have the International Guarantee Seminar (IGS) and 28th Conference of the Asian Credit Supplementation Institution Confederation (ACSIC) convene in Bali. This event will help national guaranteeing industry players to function in a more effective and efficient manner, by broadening and enriching their knowledge of this field. This knowledge will no doubt help to strengthen Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Cooperatives.

Chairman of Asippindo, Diding S. Anwar, while preparing for the event, pointed out that learning about underwriting from other countries can benefit all related parties. “We, the 20 member companies of Asippindo, want to learn from other countries about underwriting.

We are grateful that the government and various other stakeholders are strongly supporting this event,” he said.

Anwar added that amongst those who are confirmed to be attending the event are: Representatives of the Ministry of Economy, the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners FSA, Bali’s governor and the governor of Bangka Belitung.

“They have all been supportive of the International Seminar on Guarantee and Asia Guarantee Corporation Conference,” he said.

The Chairman of Asippindo also said that this event will allow for an exchange of knowledge through specific case studies and is expected to contribute to financial inclusion and open the way for SMEs be financed as they learn about accessing sources of capital. “For the moment, SMEs in this country still rely directly on banks for guaranteeing their loans,” said Anwar.

Banks here are the ones who issue loans to small companies, and then look for larger companies to become the guarantors of the credit, he explained.

According to Anwar, this business model, such as those applied in Japan and South Korea, have allowed SMEs to develop rapidly. A lot has to be done to strengthen SMEs. “We believe that if underwriters look to the future and do not simply follow banks, then SMEs will be better able to access capital from financial institutions,” said Anwar who also serves as President Director of Jamkrindo.

In Malaysia for example, SMEs often request loans directly form guarantee companies who will then find banks willing to issue the loan.

Asippindo, working through Jamkrindo has established an institution dedicated to ranking and offering consulting to SME management, as way to help SMEs increase their business through increased capacity and capability. In addition to the rating agency, the new institution also has an agency that functions to provide data bases to SMEs about their specific market. This will reduce the cost of collecting such data on a case by case basis. (kmb36/kmb18)

Paris air travel proceeds, but some cancel future visits

650 confirmed participants to take part on IGS

NUSA DUA - Committee Chairman of International Guarantee Seminar (IGS), Nina Kurnia Dewi, on Sunday, said that preparations have gone well for both the 28th ACSIC Conference and IGS. Participants from five different continents and dozens of countries have started to arrive and those who are already present include participants from South Korea, Japan, Jordan, Italy, Chile, Tajikistan and Ghana.

“We invited about 500 people from both Indonesia and the rest of the world, to attend the seminar, but even more people than expected have joined with a total of 650 confirmed participants. ACSIC (Asian Credit Supplementation Instiution Confederation) delegates from the 11 member countries have confirmed attendance,” she said.

Dewi added that it is an honor for Indonesia to be entrusted to host for this big event that is expected to serve as a training session and allow for the transfer of knowledge that will contribute to the development of this industry in the future.

The guarantee industry in Indonesia is presently developing. There are currently 20 credit guarantee corporations (CGC), and the establishment of other credit guarantee corporations is strongly encouraged by the Indonesian Government to boost the economy, regional economy, SMEs and access to financing.

The regulation of the guarantee institution was formally issued in 2008, although the practice of credit guarantee has been started since 1970 by the establishment of Perum Jamkrindo. To support the growth of the guarantee industry, the Indonesian Parlement

is currently drafting the Indonesian Guarantee Act, in which it is expected to be finalized at the end of 2015.

In order to promote the development of guarantee industry in Indonesia, the knowledge and experience sharing are needed to improve the understanding, awareness and know-how of the credit guarantee practices for all guarantee stakeholders, including the Indonesian credit guarantee corporations, government and local government, regulator, banks, non-bank financial institution and other related parties.

One of the efforts to do so is through the holding of the international seminar that would invite people from Indonesian Guarantee stakeholders and from all over the world to learn together about the SMEs Development and the role of Credit Guarantee Corporation.

Taking the adjacent date of the 28th ACSIC Conference 2015 that hosted by Perum Jamkrindo and supported by ASIPPINDO, the International Guarantee Seminar would be held in 16 November 2015, in The Westin Hotel, Nusa Dua Bali Indonesia. The theme of the seminar is “The Challenge of

Asippindo is Association of Indonesia Guarantee Corporation, established on 13 December 2012 based on the mandate of the Ministry of Finance Regulation Number 99/2011 on Credit Guarantee and Re-Guarantee Corporation.

Asippindo plays very important role in the development of guarantee corporations, guarantee system and industry in Indonesia, as it is a forum for all Indonesia credit guarantee corporations to increase and sharing their knowledge, best practice and skill to run some greater roles for the Indonesian economy. Asippindo seeks to facilitate and strive for members’ common interest, and aim at improving professionalism within the industry. Today, Asippindo consists of 20 institution members around the Indonesian archipelago.

Obama vows to ‘redouble’ Islamic State fight after Paris

ANTALYA, Turkey — President Barack Obama pledged Sunday to redouble U.S. efforts to eliminate the Islamic State group and end the Syrian civil war that has fueled its rise, denouncing the extremist group’s horrifying terror spree in Paris as “an attack on the civilized world.”

Opening two days of talks with world leaders in Turkey, Obama pledged solidarity with France in the effort to hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. He said “the skies have been darkened” by the Paris attacks, but offered no details about what the U.S. or its coalition partners might do to step up its assault against the Islamic State group.

“The killing of innocent people, based on a twisted ideology, is an attack not just on France, not just on Turkey, but it’s an attack on the civilized world,” Obama said after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In addition to the Paris attacks, IS is blamed for two bombings in Turkey this year that killed roughly 130 people.

The specter of the Islamic State threat and Syria’s civil war hanged over the Turkish seaside city of Antalya as Obama and other leaders descended for the Group of 20 summit of leading rich and developing nations. Although the overlapping crises were already on the lineup for the two days of talks, they were thrust to the forefront by elaborately

coordinated attacks that killed 129 in the French capital just two days earlier, in the most destructive attack in the West blamed on the extremist group.

In a fresh reminder of the Islamic State’s expanding capacity to wreak havoc, five Turkish police officers were injured Sunday when a suicide bomber blew himself up during a police raid on a suspected IS hideout near the Syrian border. Turkish security forces also rounded up 20 suspected IS militants in and around Antalya in the run-up to the G-20.

Although world leaders have offered sweeping condemnations of IS following the Paris attacks, they’ve struggled to offer concrete proposals for how to escalate the fight or more effectively rein the group in. Asked by reporters whether he would consider additional action against IS following the Paris attacks, Obama declined to tip his hand.

Obama’s meeting with Erdogan came at the start of a 9-day trip to Turkey, the Philippines and Malaysia that has already been largely overshadowed by Friday’s attacks

in Paris and the related issues of Syria’s civil war and the resulting migrant crisis. Obama said the U.S. stands with Turkey and Europe in the effort to reduce the flow of migrants, and Erdogan predicted a “strong message” on fighting terrorism would come out of the summit.

“This terror attack was not just against the French people, it was against the whole of humanity,” Erdogan said. The summit’s host, Erdogan is fresh off his party’s impressive victory in Turkey’s recent elections, but his relations with Obama have been strained over tactical disagreements about how to push Assad out of power in Syria.

The United States, along with coalition partners, has been bombing IS in Iraq and Syria for more than a year with limited success.

President Barack Obama has been reluctant to get pulled deeper into the conflict and has ruled out a major U.S. ground offensive, although he recently authorized sending a few dozen special operations forces into Syria.

Even as airlines operated a normal schedule of flights into and out of Paris on Saturday, travelers with future plans to visit the French capital reconsidered their options after a series of terror attacks. Some quickly canceled their tickets, a worrisome sign for the travel and tourism industries. Joe Nardozzi, a 31-year-old New York investment banker, and his wife won’t be taking the wedding-anniversary trip they planned later this month. “I have no interest in losing my life over a trip to Paris,” he said. Travel agents said some clients called to cancel trips, and one advocacy group for business travelers predicted that corporations would let frightened employees do the same.

On Friday night, terrorists with guns and suicide vests carried out coordinated attacks across Paris that left at least 129 people dead and more than 350 injured. The targets, including a cafe and a concert hall, were the types of places that travelers on a vacation or business trip might visit. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Decisions by companies and leisure travelers could hinge on whether the Paris attacks are seen as a one-time event or the vanguard of a stepped-up campaign by Islamic radicals. Islamic State, the group fighting in Syria and Iraq, also claimed last month that it bombed a Russian passenger jet over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, although investigators have not determined the cause of the crash that killed 224 people. High tensions after the attacks could be seen at airports across Europe on Saturday.

A Paris-bound Air France jet was evacuated at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport after authorities received a threatening tweet. A terminal at London’s Gatwick Airport was shut down for hours after a man was seen throwing away what looked like a gun.

Air France said it would operate all upcoming flights to and from France but that delays were expected because of increased security at airports, including Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport.

U.S. authorities said that they had nothing to add to Friday’s comment by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson that officials didn’t know of any specific or credible terror threats against the United States.

United Airlines and Delta Air Lines said that all their flights between the U.S. and Paris operated on Saturday. American Airlines said all its flights would run too except a Paris-to-Dallas flight — that plane remained in Dallas when the Paris-bound leg was canceled Friday night. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said flights to and from Paris were full. Still, some Americans canceled upcoming trips after seeing coverage of the terror on Paris streets.

Blake Fleetwood, president of New York-based Cook Travel, said about 10 customers out of the roughly 30 with trips booked to Paris told him they want to cancel. He and his wife might do the same next month.

“It’s a terrible situation,” Fleetwood said. “It’s going to hurt the travel industry, the hotels, the airlines, the restaurants.”

Kevin Mitchell, who runs an advocacy group called the Business Travel Coalition, expects some worried corporate travelers to cancel trips to Europe.(ap)

China welcomes IMF backing to make yuan world reserve currency

BEIJING - China on Saturday welcomed backing from IMF experts that the yuan should be included in its reserve currencies, saying the move would strengthen the world’s financial system.

Now the world’s second-largest economy, China asked last year for the yuan to be added to the elite basket of SDR currencies, but until recently it was considered too tightly controlled to qualify.

It now looks likely the yuan will be formally admitted to the IMF’s “special drawing rights” currency basket at the end of the month, which would mark a milestone in China’s efforts to become a global economic power.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the fund now deemed the yuan “meets the requirements to be a ‘freely usable’ currency” -- a key hurdle to joining the yen, dollar, pound and euro as a leading unit in international trade.

The yuan hit headlines in August when China’s central bank devalued the currency and said it would use a more market-oriented system to calculate the point around which the currency can trade each day.

The move sent markets into a tailspin as investors took it as a sign of slowing growth in China, a key driver of the world economy, but the central bank on Saturday said such reforms had taken it closer to joining the SDR basket.

“China thinks that the inclusion of the RMB (yuan) into the SDR basket will strengthen the representativeness and the attraction of the SDR (and) that it will improve the existing international monetary sys-

tem,” the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) added.

“It will have win-win benefits both for China and the world.”

The yuan has rapidly grown in importance in recent years as China -- the world’s top trading nation -- has used it to settle more of its commerce, and made it directly convertable with more currencies.

Including the Chinese currency in the SDR would likely boost demand for yuan-denominated assets among central banks, and give it a sheen of respectability at a time when many investors are questioning Beijing’s ability to manage the slowing economy.

Lagarde said IMF experts ruled Beijing had addressed “all remaining operational issues” required for SDR inclusion, which will be decided by the executive board at a November 30 meeting.

That would mark an about turn from the beginning of August -- before the yuan devaluation -- when the Fund said the currency was not freely usable enough to be included in the basket.

Despite the recent misgivings, there has been strong pressure for the IMF to act now as the SDR basket is only reviewed every five years. If a decision to include the yuan is made this month, the actual inclusion could take place as late as September 30, 2016, giving Beijing more time to prepare. (afp)

Fogging, one of the effort to prevent the spread of dengue fever

TABANAN - Although it has not rained yet, dengue fever cases have begun to show up in Tabanan and other coastal areas over the last few weeks. Endemic areas include Pandak Gede (Kediri) and Yeh Gangga (Tabanan). Health officers and the public need to be on the alert so that there is not a surge in dengue cases when the rains do arrive.

Chief of Tabanan Health Agency, Nyoman Suratmika, confirmed that endemic pockets have begun to appear and said that even though the number of cases has been declining over the last three months (with 24 cases of dengue having been reported in August, 19 case in September and 15 cases in October), we should not be complacent about

Global shares tumble after poor European, US data

NEW YORK - Poor European growth data and fears that US consumer spending has stalled ahead of the Christmas season sent global shares sharply lower on Friday.

US shares lost more than one percent for the second straight session as investors piled out of a wide swathe of retail-related stocks, from department stores to online sellers Amazon and Liberty Interactive to Internet giants like Google, dependent on consumer

advertising.

Earlier, Asian markets took their cue from Thursday’s US selloff, with China’s growth worries continuing to buffer the markets.

Losses in Europe were nearly as bad as the US, after official data showed growth in the 19-nation eurozone slowed to 0.3 percent in the third quarter, with the economy in powerhouse Germany cooling as France returned to expansion.

Bailed-out Greece contracted by 0.5 percent in the quarter and

the economy in recovery standout Portugal slowed to a standstill as domestic demand dived.

“Slower eurozone GDP growth... will intensify already strong belief that the ECB will deliver more stimulus at its December policy meeting,” said Howard Archer, chief European economist at research group IHS Global Insight, referring to the European Central Bank.

The US losses reflected deep worries that consumers were

keeping their wallets tight going into the all-important NovemberDecember shopping season.

“The retail sales numbers today were disappointing,” said Tom Cahill of Ventura Wealth Management.

“A good portion of the growth we’re experiencing -- even though it’s slow growth -- is due to the consumer. From this stand point, if the consumer starts to retrench, that obviously can be very concerning for growth ex-

pectations.”

Commodity prices also lost ground with crude falling another eight percent, hitting the shares of large mining and oil companies.

T h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l E n e rg y Agency said commercial crude stockpiles in developed nations had risen to a record-high three billion barrels.

Troubled mining giant Glencore shed three percent on the London exchange, lifting weekly losses to 20 percent. (afp)

the threat of Dengue, because things could quickly get worse once the rains start. The eradication of mosquito nests is important and can be done by draining any stagnant water, covering reservoirs and burying waste on a regular basis. Gutters need to be cleaned out as do any other areas that could potentially hold rainwater. The growth of Aedes

aegypti larvae that can potentially carry the dengue virus, are supported by both rain and heat. “We should not wait until there is a surge in dengue cases before eradicating moquito nests, it is advisable to do so immediately,” he said.

Suratmika hopes that treatment facilities are making preparations for a potential surge in dengue cases, by doing things like having enough beds available for patents who need to be hospitalized from dengue. “Currently Tabanan has five public health centers and two hospitals, one of which is private,” he said.

NEGARA - A number of efforts are being made to help prevent criminal activity amongst youths. Such efforts include an aggressive information campaign conducted by police visits to schools. Each subdistrict police station is involved in a program to visit schools and provide counselling related to teenage issues.

Negara subdistrict police carried out an information session on on Tuesday (Nov. 10) at the SMK PGRI Negara vocational school. Here the police provided information about various issues that teenagers are prone to be affected such as such as drugs, alcohol and promiscuity. Outside of school hours, students are also counselled about following traffic regulations, especially on highways.

“We provide information to students about the hazards and legal risks of certain behaviours and actions, so that they are aware of some of the potential impacts of committing such actions. We also invite them to get involved in positive activities,” said Chief of the Negara subdistrict police Made Prihenjagat after talking to a group of students.

According to Prihenjaga, the counselling and sharing of information will take place over three days in an effort to prevent students form becoming criminals. Other schools will also be visited and students will be given the opportunity of becoming the leader of a flag raising ceremony. (kmb26)

Badung towers evading levies

MANGUPURA - There are an ever increasing number of both telecom towers and water tanks in Badung. As of yet the local government has yet to set forth applicable regulations regarding which ones are subject to levies and which ones are not. Head of the Badung Transportation, Communication and Information Agency, I Wayan Weda Dharmaja, recently stated that rooftops “towers” or “camouflaged towers” are presently not subject to levies.

“According to Transportation Agency regulations, towers under six meters high have no regulations governing them nor applicable levies,” said Weda, after attending the

meeting of the Special Committee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies. He also explained that water tanks or transmitters that are located on a second floor are not considered as towers and thus are also not subject to levies.

Apparently many telecom and water service providers are aware of this loophole in the regulations because according to yesterdays’ measuring of several such towers, all of them measured just under 6 feet,” he explained.

Also: “A decree issued by four ministers, states that rooftop towers that measureless that six meters do not require a permit,” he added.

When asked whether the govern-

ment of Badung plans to impose levies on towers that are less than 6 meters tall, Weda said that his office is continuing to refer to the existing rules. “We are applying existing rules in accordance with the decree of the four ministers,” he said.

Weda admitted that the existence of rooftop towers was not been discussed in the meeting of the Special Committee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies.

“We will be putting this onto the agenda for discussion for regional bylaws. There is still a gap between the decree of the four ministers, and the reality in the filed so things need to be revised,” he concluded.

Chairman of the Special Com-

mittee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies in the Badung House of Representatives, I Gede Aryanta, previously asserted that rooftop towers and water tanks and the like should be subject to levies.

“Since Base Transceiver Station (BTS) are clearly meant for the purpose of usage by telecom networks, and they are imposed with levies,” he said.

In the absence of regulations governing the presence of the telecom tower, Badung is potentially losing substantial telecom tower levy revenue. In the revision of Regional Bylaw No.5/2013 regarding telecom tower controlling levies in

Badung, only two types of telecom towers are not currently subject to levies.

Revision of the regional bylaw has stagnated because there is a lack of clarity regarding the rules.

In fact, the general provisions of Article 1 of Regional Bylaw No. 5/2013 describe telecom towers as any structure that supports a telecom network whose design and construction are tailored to the needs of the telecom networks.

“I think that rooftop towers and water tank belonging to a telecom companies with the intended use of obtaining profits, should logically be subject to levies,” added Aryanta. (kmb27)

Myanmar president says transition of power will be smooth

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar’s president vowed Sunday to abide by the law to ensure a smooth transition to a new government next year, after his ruling party was trounced in the Nov. 8 general election.

President Thein Sein, whose Union Solidarity and Development Party lost by a landslide to the National League for Democracy of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, spoke at a meeting with the leaders of more than 70 political parties to discuss the period before power is handed over early next year when the new Parliament is seated.

“We have successfully held the crucial election (leading) from the current transition period toward the transformation of our country,” Thein Sein, an ex-general, said, referring to his leadership of the first elected government after al-

most five decades of military rule.

His party, however, was generally seen as being under the sway of the army.

Thein Sein won praise from some of the leaders for his government’s holding a transparent, free and fair election, and accepting the results with grace.

Others, however, highlighted the problem of fighting between the army and ethnic rebel groups seeking greater autonomy, and urged his government to stop its offensives.

The Shan ethnic minority in the northeast says the army has recently stepped up attacks against them.

“We want the president to kindly stop the offensive war that is happening in Shan state and let the displaced people go back to their homes,” said Sai Tun Aung, vice chairman of the Shan National League for Democracy.

Eight ethnic armed groups recently signed a nationwide ceasefire agreement with the government, and political parties will participate in the drafting of a framework for a political dialogue for a permanent solution to those groups’ demands. The dialogue is due to start by mid-January.

The outgoing Parliament, meanwhile, will convene another session on Monday and, despite the lame duck status of its members, debate legislation including the next national budget. (ap)

Turkey: Suicide bomber wounds 5 Turkish police during raid

ANKARA, Turkey — A suicide bomber opened fire on Turkish police and then blew himself up during their raid on a suspect Islamic State militant hideout near the border with Syria, injuring five police officers as G-20 leaders were gathering for a summit, authorities said Sunday.

The Gaziantep governor’s office said the suicide bomber died in the raid late Saturday on the fifth-floor apartment in Gaziantep city. Two women were detained while three children were being placed in protection.

Police seized explosive materials and several machine guns during the raid, the statement said.

The raid came hours after Turkish soldiers clashed with IS militants who fired at them near Gaziantep. Four militants were killed. It was not clear if the two incidents were connected.

Meanwhile, at least seven suspected militants were picked up in

Ankara early Sunday, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

G-20 leaders are meeting near the Mediterranean city of Antalya, 700 kilometers (400 miles) west of Gaziantep for a summit overshadowed by the Paris attacks. The war in Syria and extremist terrorism, including by the Islamic State group, were already high on the G-20 agenda but the Paris attacks that killed 129 people Friday night have added new urgency to the G-20 talks.

The IS group has claimed responsibility for the latest Paris attacks and is blamed for two massive bombings in Turkey — one in the Syrian border town of Suruc and another in Ankara — that killed about 130 people in July and October.

Turkey has carried out sweeps against suspected IS militants in the weeks leading to the summit, detaining dozens of people, including 20 suspects nabbed in and around Antalya. (ap)

EL-ARISH, Egypt — Egyptian officials in the Sinai Peninsula say police killed 15 Sudanese migrants and wounded another eight who were trying to jump the border fence into Israel.

The officials say police opened fire on the migrants Sunday after they ignored warning shots and sprinted toward the fence. The security forces arrested another eight Sudanese migrants who were not wounded.

Israel’s Interior Ministry says more than 45,000 African migrants and asylum seekers are in Israel.

Many say they are fleeing conflict and persecution and are seeking refugee status. Israel says they are economic migrants whose swelling numbers threaten the country’s Jewish character.

All Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media. (ap)

Mostefai, born in the poor Paris suburb of Courcouronnes as one of four brothers and two sisters, had eight convictions for petty crimes but had never been imprisoned.

Prints found on a finger in the Bataclan matched those in police files.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said he had came to the authorities’ attention in 2010 as having been radicalised but had “never been implicated in a terrorist network or plot”.

“It’s a crazy thing, it’s madness,” his brother told AFP, his voice trembling, before he was taken into custody along with his father on Saturday night.

“Yesterday I was in Paris and I saw what a mess this was.”

In a statement posted online Saturday, IS claimed responsibility for the attacks and referred to French air strikes on IS in Syria.

The group, which has sown mayhem in large swathes of Syria and Iraq, threatened further attacks in France “as long as it continues its Crusader campaign.” (afp)

From page 1 The attacks sent shockwaves around the world, with London’s Tower Bridge, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and the World Trade Center in New York among the many landmarks lit up in the red, white and blue of the French national flag in a show of solidarity.

US President Barack Obama described the onslaught as “an attack on all of humanity” and an emotional Pope Francis said he was “shaken” by the “inhuman” attacks.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the attacks “suggest a new degree of planning and coordination and a greater ambition for mass casualty attacks”.

The attacks, which killed 129 people and wounded 352, including 99 critically, were the first ever suicide bombings on French soil.

Unlike those in January, none of the assailants had ever been jailed for terror offences.

Indonesia to announce AirAsia crash probe results Nov 25

JAKARTA - Indonesia will on November 25 announce the results of an investigation into the AirAsia crash last year that killed 162 people, the committee probing the case said Saturday.

The Airbus A320-200 went down in the Java Sea on December 28 in stormy weather during what was supposed to be a short trip from

the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.

“We plan to announce the report on November 25,” Soerjanto Tjah-

jono, head of Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee, told AFP. In the preliminary report in January, investigators who went through the black boxes discovered that prior to the crash the jet had climbed fast through large storm clouds and that

the stall alarms started going off.

They also revealed that Flight QZ8501’s less experienced French co-pilot, Remi Plesel, was flying the plane before it went down, rather than Captain Iriyanto, a former fighter pilot who had around 20,000 hours of flying time.

An investigator at the committee said they finished the final draft of the report and distributed it to several countries for feedback.

Countries which got copies included France, the manufacturer of the aircraft, and the US, which made some of the plane’s components. (afp)

Court sentences 2 to death for drug smuggling

JAKARTA — An Indonesian court sentenced two men on Friday to death on charges of smuggling the largest amount of methamphetamine ever confiscated in the country.

The National Narcotics Agency in January found more than 862 kilograms (1,900 pounds) of the illegal drug worth about 1.6 trillion rupiah ($116.8 million) in a car in western Jakarta and arrested nine people.

Two of them, Wong Chi Ping, a Hong Kong resident and the alleged syndicate leader, and Indonesian ship captain Ahmad Salim Wijaya, were tried separately and convicted and sentenced Friday at West Jakarta District Court.

Judges in the trials concluded that there were no reasons for lenience and both defendants deserved death sentences.

Wong was reportedly wanted in seven countries — China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, United States, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Their verdicts brought the number of people who have reportedly received death sentences this year in Indonesia for drug trafficking to at least 10.

Three other Hong Kong residents, three Indonesians and one Malaysian were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 years to life.

Indonesia has extremely strict drug laws, with more than 140 people on death row.

Tigers, piranhas may join Indonesia crocodile prison guard

JAKARTA - When Indonesia’s anti-drugs czar announced plans to guard a death-row prison island with crocodiles, the government rushed to explain that it was just a joke, but on Friday Budi Waseso said he was now thinking of using tigers and piranha fish too.

Media quoted the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) chief as saying that he had already obtained

two crocodiles from a farm to study their power and aggression and may ultimately put as many as 1,000 in place to keep convicts from escaping.

“The number will depend on how big the area is, or whether perhaps to combine them with piranhas,” he told reporters, according to the rimanews.com portal. “Because the (prison) personnel numbers are

short we can use wild animals. We could use tigers too - for conservation at the same time.”

Piranha fish, meat-eaters with sharp teeth and powerful jaws, are indigenous to South America and are not found in Indonesia.

Waseso and officials at his office were not immediately available to comment on the reports.

Indonesian President Joko Wido-

do declared a war on what he has dubbed a “narcotics emergency” after taking office a year ago, basing his campaign on a study that showed at least 40 people a day were dying from drug use.

He has repeatedly refused clemency to traffickers and more than two dozen, mostly foreign, drug convicts have been executed this year after a five-year moratorium

on the death penalty.

In separate comments on the TVOne channel, Waseso rejected critics who said his plans to use animals as jailors were trampling on the human rights of convicts.

“We have to look at the whole problem,” he said. “These people are murderers - mass murderers.

Shouldn’t we also look at the human rights of their victims?” (rtr)

Bucks lock down on James late and beat Cavaliers

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Jerryd Bayless held LeBron James scoreless over the final 3:15 of the second overtime to steer the Bucks to a 108-105 win against Cleveland on Saturday, snapping the Cavaliers’ eight-game winning streak. James scored 37 points for Cleveland but could not break the shackles when it mattered most, and the Bucks — last in the Central Division — took a creditable victory over that division’s top team.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams (5) dunks the ball during the first overtime period against the Cleveland Cavaliers at BMO Harris Bradley Center. The Bucks won 108105.

One man who could not be stopped was Stephen Curry, who again led the way as Golden State won in overtime against Brooklyn to improve to 11-0.

Elsewhere, Blake Griffin sank a clutch late basket to cap a strong individual performance and give the Los Angeles Clippers victory over Detroit, while Washington beat Orlando for the 10th straight time. Milwaukee’s Bayless and Michael Carter-Williams scored 17 points for the Bucks while Giannis Antetokounmpo had 16 points and 11 rebounds in 45 minutes before fouling out with 3:15 left in the second overtime.

Bayless drew the assignment of guarding James after Antetokounmpo fouled out, and he held the Cleveland star scoreless the rest of the game. Golden State’s Curry

scored 21 of his 34 points after halftime to steer the Warriors past Brooklyn 107-99.

Andre Iguodala hit a 3-pointer with six seconds left in regulation to tie the game, while Brook Lopez missed a short shot on the buzzer that would have won it for the Nets. Iguodala finished with 18 points for the Warriors, who pulled quickly in overtime, scoring the first 10 points.

Jarrett Jack scored a season-high 28 for Brooklyn. Los Angeles’ Griffin scored 34 points, including a crucial jumper with 17 seconds left that helped the Clippers down Detroit 101-96.

Jamal Crawford added a seasonhigh 37 points, making all 10 of his free throws, for the Clippers, who were without injured starters Chris Paul and J.J. Redick. Ersan Ilyasova

scored 20 points for the Pistons, who have lost nine in a row against the Clippers.

Such a lopsided head-to-head record was outdone by Washington’s domination of Orlando, extending the winning streak to double figures with a 108-99 victory. Kris Humphries scored 23 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers. The last of them came with 4:45 remaining as part of an 8-0 runs that put the Wizards ahead.

Garrett Temple matched his career high with 18 points for Washington. Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Magic.

Dallas overcame the absence of three regular starts, including talisman Dirk Nowitzki, and comfortably beat Texas rival Houston 110-98.

San Antonio won 92-83 to inflict a 10th straight loss to start the season for Philadelphia, which has lost 20 successive games dating back to last season. Phoenix’s Eric Bledsoe scored 30 points, and the Suns cruised to a 10581 win over Denver.(ap)

Kvitova and Sharapova leave Fed Cup final tied PRAGUE - The Czech Republic and Russia were tied at 1-1 after the opening matches in the Fed Cup final on Saturday as Petra Kvitova and Maria Sharapova each notched victories.

Kvitova, the Czech No.1, got off to a nervous start against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the opening match, committing 15 unforced errors to help the Russian take the first set 6-2.

The two-time Wimbledon champion settled down after the break and stormed back to grab the next two sets 6-1, 6-1 with the Russian double-faulting on match point.

In the second singles, the world number four Sharapova, playing in her first Fed Cup final, beat Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-4, rekindling Russian hopes of winning a first Fed Cup title since 2008.

Kvitova said the support of a raucous home crowd at the O2 Arena had helped her overcome nerves in

the first set as the Czechs set out to defend their title and claim their fourth Fed Cup triumph in five years.

“I was nervous since yesterday just like every time at the beginning of a tournament and it was really difficult to get going,” Kvitova said.

“I missed some easy balls and it was difficult for me to turn it around.”

Sharapova’s match against world number six Kvitova on Sunday now becomes pivotal to the outcome and the Russian expects it to be close.

“It’s the last match of the season against an opponent I know really well,” Sharapova said. “It is just going to come down to a little bit here or there.”

After the Kvitova-Sharapova showdown, Pliskova plays Pavlyuchenkova and the title could be decided by the doubles between the Czechs Lucie Safarova and Barbora Strycova and their opponents, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina.(rtr)

Sp rt Red card could spell end for erratic David Luiz

SAO PAULO - The international future of David Luiz looked to be in question after a poor performance and a needless sending off left coach Dunga fuming at his irresponsibility in Brazil’s 1-1 draw against Argentina on Friday.

David Luiz was booked after 86 minutes for throwing an elbow and he was lucky not to get sent off for the rash intervention.

However, the Paris St. Germain defender did not take the warning and two minutes later he plunged in with his boot up and was given a straight red by the Paraguayan referee.

“He deserved to be sent off,” a stern Dunga told reporters. “There’s nothing to complain about.”

Dunga is known for defending his players in even the most extreme circumstances and his curt summing up

England-France friendly to go ahead on Tuesday at Wembley

could signal his patience has run out with the player who has won 55 caps.

David Luiz and Dani Alves were at fault for the Argentina goal when they let Ezequiel Lavezzi steal in between them to sidefoot home 10 minutes before halftime. Luiz was also frequently caught out as Argentina threw in crosses both high and low.

Brazil called up uncapped center half Jemerson to replace David Luiz in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Peru.

The 23-year old Atletico Mineiro defender has impressed this season and his club are in second place in the Brazilian league.

“Jemerson has been called up because of David Luiz’s sending off,” the Brazilian football confederation said on Saturday. (rtr) REUTERS/Ralph Orlowski

Denmark struggled to create any clear chances until Jakob Poulsen headed a corner toward the far post where Joergensen slotted home in the 80th minute.

“That goal could become a really, really important goal,” Denmark coach Morten Olsen said.

The result means a 1-0 win in Copenhagen on Tuesday would see the Danes through.

“We won the game, that was the most important,” he said.

David Luiz of Brazil leaves the field after receiving a red card during their 2018 World Cup qualifying soccer match against Argentina in Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 13, 2015.

CAPE TOWN - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang banished ghosts of the past with the decisive penalty that enabled Gabon to become the first country to book their spot in Africa’s final World Cup qualifying groups.

Egypt suffered a shock setback and Algeria had to claw their way back for a draw in the second round, first leg matches played on Saturday.

The Borussia Dortmund striker Aubameyang blasted home the decisive final kick of Gabon’s narrow post-match penalty shootout win over Mozambique.

Gabon had won the second leg 1-0, having lost the first leg in Maputo on Wednesday by the same scoreline.

Aubameyang, who had mysteriously missed the midweek encounter, was restored to the line-up on Saturday as Gabon took an early lead through Malick Evouna but they failed to add to their tally.

The Bundesliga luminary had a crucial penalty saved in 2012 when Gabon co-hosted the African Nations Cup that saw his country eliminated in the quarter-finals. So the pressure was huge as Aubameyang stepped up to ensure their progress. He did so with a powerful finish.

Gabon will be joined by 19 other countries on Sunday and Tuesday as the last round of knock-out elimination is completed and aggregate winners go

forward to the final group stage, which starts in October next year.

In Ndjamena, Egypt, who have suffered repeated World Cup qualification calamities since their last finals appearance in Italy in 1990, lost 1-0 away to lowly Chad, who earlier this week were advertising for the services of a coach.

Ezekiel Ndouasel scored the winner in the 73rd minute although Egypt host the return leg on Tuesday in Alexandria and are expected to bounce back. Islam Slimani netted twice in two minutes late in the game to see Algeria come from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Tanzania in steamy Dar-es-Salaam.

Algeria, who reached the second round of the last World Cup in Brazil, host the return leg in Blida on Tuesday.

There was a seven-goal thriller in Addis Ababa as Congo won 4-3 away against Ethiopia, coming from 1-0 down to go 4-1 up before conceding two late goals.

Defensive midfielder Samba Sow scored a vital goal 10 minutes into the second half to reduce the deficit as Mali lost 2-1 in Botswana.

The home side, coached by Englishman Peter Butler, went 2-0 up within the opening 25 minutes through Tapiwa Gadibolae and Joel Mogorosi. (rtr)

PARIS - The Euro 2016 finals in France should not be cancelled even though the risk levels have gone up, the head of the organising committee said on Saturday following the attacks in Paris.

Islamic State claimed responsibility after 129 people were killed and 352 wounded on Friday, saying it sent militants strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns

to various locations in the heart of the French capital.

“The risk had gone one level up in January, it has just gone higher,” Euro 2016 chief Jacques Lambert told French radio RTL. “We will make the decisions we need to make so that the Euro finals can be held in the best security conditions. Security in stadiums works well, the risk is more in the streets, in spontane-

ous gatherings.

“Wondering whether Euro 2016 must be cancelled is playing the game of the terrorists,” said Lambert.

There was one bombing near the Stade de France on Friday, killing three, as the national team were playing a friendly against Germany inside the venue. Euro 2016 will be held from June 10July 10. (rtr)

Late Shirokov strike gives Russia win over Portugal

MOSCOW - Roman Shirokov kept Leonid Slutskiy’s 100 percent record as Russia coach intact when his late strike secured a 1-0 victory over Portugal in a friendly in Krasnodar on Saturday.

The Spartak Moscow midfielder finished a lovely move to score his 13th goal for his country one minute from time and earn Russia a deserved win.

The lively Artem Dzyuba went close after forcing a good save from Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio after 10 minutes and, from the resulting corner, the towering Zenit St. Petersburg forward’s header crashed

off the crossbar.

The hosts, playing in the southern city of Krasnodar, were dominant and captain Shirokov had another decent opportunity which Patricio saved at full stretch.

Debutant Goncalo Guedes had the best chance for the visitors in the first half, but Igor Akinfeev saved the 18year-old’s shot as the teams, who have both qualified for next year’s European Championship, went into the break goalless.

Fernando Santos’s side were without talisman Cristiano Ronaldo and they were on the

back foot at the start of the second half as Pavel Mamaev went close with a shot from outside the penalty area.

Substitute Fedor Smolov thought he had put his country into the lead with 15 minutes to go, but he used his hand to direct the ball into the net from close range from a corner and was shown a yellow card.

Smolov broke free down the left with a minute left, his pass found Dzyuba and he gently laid the ball off to the onrushing Shirokov who slammed the ball past Patricio. Slutskiy took as over as Russia coach from Fabio Capello in August. (rtr)

Sp rt Red card could spell end for erratic David Luiz

SAO PAULO - The international future of David Luiz looked to be in question after a poor performance and a needless sending off left coach Dunga fuming at his irresponsibility in Brazil’s 1-1 draw against Argentina on Friday.

David Luiz was booked after 86 minutes for throwing an elbow and he was lucky not to get sent off for the rash intervention.

However, the Paris St. Germain defender did not take the warning and two minutes later he plunged in with his boot up and was given a straight red by the Paraguayan referee.

“He deserved to be sent off,” a stern Dunga told reporters. “There’s nothing to complain about.”

Dunga is known for defending his players in even the most extreme circumstances and his curt summing up

England-France friendly to go ahead on Tuesday at Wembley

could signal his patience has run out with the player who has won 55 caps.

David Luiz and Dani Alves were at fault for the Argentina goal when they let Ezequiel Lavezzi steal in between them to sidefoot home 10 minutes before halftime. Luiz was also frequently caught out as Argentina threw in crosses both high and low.

Brazil called up uncapped center half Jemerson to replace David Luiz in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Peru.

The 23-year old Atletico Mineiro defender has impressed this season and his club are in second place in the Brazilian league.

“Jemerson has been called up because of David Luiz’s sending off,” the Brazilian football confederation said on Saturday. (rtr) REUTERS/Ralph Orlowski

Bucks lock down on James late and beat Cavaliers

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Jerryd Bayless held LeBron James scoreless over the final 3:15 of the second overtime to steer the Bucks to a 108-105 win against Cleveland on Saturday, snapping the Cavaliers’ eight-game winning streak. James scored 37 points for Cleveland but could not break the shackles when it mattered most, and the Bucks — last in the Central Division — took a creditable victory over that division’s top team.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams (5) dunks the ball during the first overtime period against the Cleveland Cavaliers at BMO Harris Bradley Center. The Bucks won 108105.

One man who could not be stopped was Stephen Curry, who again led the way as Golden State won in overtime against Brooklyn to improve to 11-0.

Elsewhere, Blake Griffin sank a clutch late basket to cap a strong individual performance and give the Los Angeles Clippers victory over Detroit, while Washington beat Orlando for the 10th straight time. Milwaukee’s Bayless and Michael Carter-Williams scored 17 points for the Bucks while Giannis Antetokounmpo had 16 points and 11 rebounds in 45 minutes before fouling out with 3:15 left in the second overtime.

Bayless drew the assignment of guarding James after Antetokounmpo fouled out, and he held the Cleveland star scoreless the rest of the game. Golden State’s Curry

scored 21 of his 34 points after halftime to steer the Warriors past Brooklyn 107-99.

Andre Iguodala hit a 3-pointer with six seconds left in regulation to tie the game, while Brook Lopez missed a short shot on the buzzer that would have won it for the Nets. Iguodala finished with 18 points for the Warriors, who pulled quickly in overtime, scoring the first 10 points.

Jarrett Jack scored a season-high 28 for Brooklyn. Los Angeles’ Griffin scored 34 points, including a crucial jumper with 17 seconds left that helped the Clippers down Detroit 101-96.

Jamal Crawford added a seasonhigh 37 points, making all 10 of his free throws, for the Clippers, who were without injured starters Chris Paul and J.J. Redick. Ersan Ilyasova

scored 20 points for the Pistons, who have lost nine in a row against the Clippers.

Such a lopsided head-to-head record was outdone by Washington’s domination of Orlando, extending the winning streak to double figures with a 108-99 victory. Kris Humphries scored 23 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers. The last of them came with 4:45 remaining as part of an 8-0 runs that put the Wizards ahead.

Garrett Temple matched his career high with 18 points for Washington. Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Magic.

Dallas overcame the absence of three regular starts, including talisman Dirk Nowitzki, and comfortably beat Texas rival Houston 110-98.

San Antonio won 92-83 to inflict a 10th straight loss to start the season for Philadelphia, which has lost 20 successive games dating back to last season. Phoenix’s Eric Bledsoe scored 30 points, and the Suns cruised to a 10581 win over Denver.(ap)

Kvitova and Sharapova leave Fed Cup final tied PRAGUE - The Czech Republic and Russia were tied at 1-1 after the opening matches in the Fed Cup final on Saturday as Petra Kvitova and Maria Sharapova each notched victories.

Kvitova, the Czech No.1, got off to a nervous start against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the opening match, committing 15 unforced errors to help the Russian take the first set 6-2.

The two-time Wimbledon champion settled down after the break and stormed back to grab the next two sets 6-1, 6-1 with the Russian double-faulting on match point.

In the second singles, the world number four Sharapova, playing in her first Fed Cup final, beat Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-4, rekindling Russian hopes of winning a first Fed Cup title since 2008.

Kvitova said the support of a raucous home crowd at the O2 Arena had helped her overcome nerves in

the first set as the Czechs set out to defend their title and claim their fourth Fed Cup triumph in five years.

“I was nervous since yesterday just like every time at the beginning of a tournament and it was really difficult to get going,” Kvitova said.

“I missed some easy balls and it was difficult for me to turn it around.”

Sharapova’s match against world number six Kvitova on Sunday now becomes pivotal to the outcome and the Russian expects it to be close.

“It’s the last match of the season against an opponent I know really well,” Sharapova said. “It is just going to come down to a little bit here or there.”

After the Kvitova-Sharapova showdown, Pliskova plays Pavlyuchenkova and the title could be decided by the doubles between the Czechs Lucie Safarova and Barbora Strycova and their opponents, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina.(rtr)

Myanmar President Thein Sein, front left, greets representatives of political parties during a meeting at Yangon region government office in Yangon, Myanmar Sunday, Nov. 15, 2015.

Myanmar president says transition of power will be smooth

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar’s president vowed Sunday to abide by the law to ensure a smooth transition to a new government next year, after his ruling party was trounced in the Nov. 8 general election.

President Thein Sein, whose Union Solidarity and Development Party lost by a landslide to the National League for Democracy of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, spoke at a meeting with the leaders of more than 70 political parties to discuss the period before power is handed over early next year when the new Parliament is seated.

“We have successfully held the crucial election (leading) from the current transition period toward the transformation of our country,” Thein Sein, an ex-general, said, referring to his leadership of the first elected government after al-

most five decades of military rule.

His party, however, was generally seen as being under the sway of the army.

Thein Sein won praise from some of the leaders for his government’s holding a transparent, free and fair election, and accepting the results with grace.

Others, however, highlighted the problem of fighting between the army and ethnic rebel groups seeking greater autonomy, and urged his government to stop its offensives.

The Shan ethnic minority in the northeast says the army has recently stepped up attacks against them.

“We want the president to kindly stop the offensive war that is happening in Shan state and let the displaced people go back to their homes,” said Sai Tun Aung, vice chairman of the Shan National League for Democracy.

Eight ethnic armed groups recently signed a nationwide ceasefire agreement with the government, and political parties will participate in the drafting of a framework for a political dialogue for a permanent solution to those groups’ demands. The dialogue is due to start by mid-January.

The outgoing Parliament, meanwhile, will convene another session on Monday and, despite the lame duck status of its members, debate legislation including the next national budget. (ap)

Turkey: Suicide bomber wounds 5 Turkish police during raid

ANKARA, Turkey — A suicide bomber opened fire on Turkish police and then blew himself up during their raid on a suspect Islamic State militant hideout near the border with Syria, injuring five police officers as G-20 leaders were gathering for a summit, authorities said Sunday.

The Gaziantep governor’s office said the suicide bomber died in the raid late Saturday on the fifth-floor apartment in Gaziantep city. Two women were detained while three children were being placed in protection.

Police seized explosive materials and several machine guns during the raid, the statement said.

The raid came hours after Turkish soldiers clashed with IS militants who fired at them near Gaziantep. Four militants were killed. It was not clear if the two incidents were connected.

Meanwhile, at least seven suspected militants were picked up in

Ankara early Sunday, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

G-20 leaders are meeting near the Mediterranean city of Antalya, 700 kilometers (400 miles) west of Gaziantep for a summit overshadowed by the Paris attacks. The war in Syria and extremist terrorism, including by the Islamic State group, were already high on the G-20 agenda but the Paris attacks that killed 129 people Friday night have added new urgency to the G-20 talks.

The IS group has claimed responsibility for the latest Paris attacks and is blamed for two massive bombings in Turkey — one in the Syrian border town of Suruc and another in Ankara — that killed about 130 people in July and October.

Turkey has carried out sweeps against suspected IS militants in the weeks leading to the summit, detaining dozens of people, including 20 suspects nabbed in and around Antalya. (ap)

EL-ARISH, Egypt — Egyptian officials in the Sinai Peninsula say police killed 15 Sudanese migrants and wounded another eight who were trying to jump the border fence into Israel.

The officials say police opened fire on the migrants Sunday after they ignored warning shots and sprinted toward the fence. The security forces arrested another eight Sudanese migrants who were not wounded.

Israel’s Interior Ministry says more than 45,000 African migrants and asylum seekers are in Israel.

Many say they are fleeing conflict and persecution and are seeking refugee status. Israel says they are economic migrants whose swelling numbers threaten the country’s Jewish character.

All Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media. (ap)

Prints found on a finger in the Bataclan matched those in police files.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said he had came to the authorities’ attention in 2010 as having been radicalised but had “never been implicated in a terrorist network or plot”.

“Yesterday I was in Paris and I saw what a mess this was.”

In a statement posted online Saturday, IS claimed responsibility for the attacks and referred to French air strikes on IS in Syria.

The group, which has sown mayhem in large swathes of Syria and Iraq, threatened further attacks in France “as long as it continues its Crusader campaign.” (afp)

From page 1 The attacks sent shockwaves around the world, with London’s Tower Bridge, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and the World Trade Center in New York among the many landmarks lit up in the red, white and blue of the French national flag in a show of solidarity.

US President Barack Obama described the onslaught as “an attack on all of humanity” and an emotional Pope Francis said he was “shaken” by the “inhuman” attacks.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the attacks “suggest a new degree of planning and coordination and a greater ambition for mass casualty attacks”.

The attacks, which killed 129 people and wounded 352, including 99 critically, were the first ever suicide bombings on French soil.

Unlike those in January, none of the assailants had ever been jailed for terror offences.

Indonesia to announce AirAsia crash probe results Nov 25

JAKARTA - Indonesia will on November 25 announce the results of an investigation into the AirAsia crash last year that killed 162 people, the committee probing the case said Saturday.

The Airbus A320-200 went down in the Java Sea on December 28 in stormy weather during what was supposed to be a short trip from

the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.

“We plan to announce the report on November 25,” Soerjanto Tjah-

jono, head of Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee, told AFP. In the preliminary report in January, investigators who went through the black boxes discovered that prior to the crash the jet had climbed fast through large storm clouds and that

the stall alarms started going off.

They also revealed that Flight QZ8501’s less experienced French co-pilot, Remi Plesel, was flying the plane before it went down, rather than Captain Iriyanto, a former fighter pilot who had around 20,000 hours of flying time.

An investigator at the committee said they finished the final draft of the report and distributed it to several countries for feedback.

Countries which got copies included France, the manufacturer of the aircraft, and the US, which made some of the plane’s components. (afp)

Court sentences 2 to death for drug smuggling

JAKARTA — An Indonesian court sentenced two men on Friday to death on charges of smuggling the largest amount of methamphetamine ever confiscated in the country.

The National Narcotics Agency in January found more than 862 kilograms (1,900 pounds) of the illegal drug worth about 1.6 trillion rupiah ($116.8 million) in a car in western Jakarta and arrested nine people.

Two of them, Wong Chi Ping, a Hong Kong resident and the alleged syndicate leader, and Indonesian ship captain Ahmad Salim Wijaya, were tried separately and convicted and sentenced Friday at West Jakarta District Court.

Judges in the trials concluded that there were no reasons for lenience and both defendants deserved death sentences.

Wong was reportedly wanted in seven countries — China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, United States, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Their verdicts brought the number of people who have reportedly received death sentences this year in Indonesia for drug trafficking to at least 10.

Three other Hong Kong residents, three Indonesians and one Malaysian were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 years to life.

Indonesia has extremely strict drug laws, with more than 140 people on death row.

Tigers, piranhas may join Indonesia crocodile prison guard

JAKARTA - When Indonesia’s anti-drugs czar announced plans to guard a death-row prison island with crocodiles, the government rushed to explain that it was just a joke, but on Friday Budi Waseso said he was now thinking of using tigers and piranha fish too.

Media quoted the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) chief as saying that he had already obtained

two crocodiles from a farm to study their power and aggression and may ultimately put as many as 1,000 in place to keep convicts from escaping.

“The number will depend on how big the area is, or whether perhaps to combine them with piranhas,” he told reporters, according to the rimanews.com portal. “Because the (prison) personnel numbers are

short we can use wild animals. We could use tigers too - for conservation at the same time.”

Piranha fish, meat-eaters with sharp teeth and powerful jaws, are indigenous to South America and are not found in Indonesia.

Waseso and officials at his office were not immediately available to comment on the reports.

Indonesian President Joko Wido-

do declared a war on what he has dubbed a “narcotics emergency” after taking office a year ago, basing his campaign on a study that showed at least 40 people a day were dying from drug use.

He has repeatedly refused clemency to traffickers and more than two dozen, mostly foreign, drug convicts have been executed this year after a five-year moratorium

on the death penalty.

In separate comments on the TVOne channel, Waseso rejected critics who said his plans to use animals as jailors were trampling on the human rights of convicts.

“We have to look at the whole problem,” he said. “These people are murderers - mass murderers.

Shouldn’t we also look at the human rights of their victims?” (rtr)

China welcomes IMF backing to make yuan world reserve currency

BEIJING - China on Saturday welcomed backing from IMF experts that the yuan should be included in its reserve currencies, saying the move would strengthen the world’s financial system.

Now the world’s second-largest economy, China asked last year for the yuan to be added to the elite basket of SDR currencies, but until recently it was considered too tightly controlled to qualify.

It now looks likely the yuan will be formally admitted to the IMF’s “special drawing rights” currency basket at the end of the month, which would mark a milestone in China’s efforts to become a global economic power.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the fund now deemed the yuan “meets the requirements to be a ‘freely usable’ currency” -- a key hurdle to joining the yen, dollar, pound and euro as a leading unit in international trade.

The yuan hit headlines in August when China’s central bank devalued the currency and said it would use a more market-oriented system to calculate the point around which the currency can trade each day.

The move sent markets into a tailspin as investors took it as a sign of slowing growth in China, a key driver of the world economy, but the central bank on Saturday said such reforms had taken it closer to joining the SDR basket.

“China thinks that the inclusion of the RMB (yuan) into the SDR basket will strengthen the representativeness and the attraction of the SDR (and) that it will improve the existing international monetary sys-

tem,” the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) added.

“It will have win-win benefits both for China and the world.”

The yuan has rapidly grown in importance in recent years as China -- the world’s top trading nation -- has used it to settle more of its commerce, and made it directly convertable with more currencies.

Including the Chinese currency in the SDR would likely boost demand for yuan-denominated assets among central banks, and give it a sheen of respectability at a time when many investors are questioning Beijing’s ability to manage the slowing economy.

Lagarde said IMF experts ruled Beijing had addressed “all remaining operational issues” required for SDR inclusion, which will be decided by the executive board at a November 30 meeting.

That would mark an about turn from the beginning of August -- before the yuan devaluation -- when the Fund said the currency was not freely usable enough to be included in the basket.

Despite the recent misgivings, there has been strong pressure for the IMF to act now as the SDR basket is only reviewed every five years. If a decision to include the yuan is made this month, the actual inclusion could take place as late as September 30, 2016, giving Beijing more time to prepare. (afp)

Fogging, one of the effort to prevent the spread of dengue fever

TABANAN - Although it has not rained yet, dengue fever cases have begun to show up in Tabanan and other coastal areas over the last few weeks. Endemic areas include Pandak Gede (Kediri) and Yeh Gangga (Tabanan). Health officers and the public need to be on the alert so that there is not a surge in dengue cases when the rains do arrive.

Chief of Tabanan Health Agency, Nyoman Suratmika, confirmed that endemic pockets have begun to appear and said that even though the number of cases has been declining over the last three months (with 24 cases of dengue having been reported in August, 19 case in September and 15 cases in October), we should not be complacent about

Global shares tumble after poor European, US data

NEW YORK - Poor European growth data and fears that US consumer spending has stalled ahead of the Christmas season sent global shares sharply lower on Friday.

US shares lost more than one percent for the second straight session as investors piled out of a wide swathe of retail-related stocks, from department stores to online sellers Amazon and Liberty Interactive to Internet giants like Google, dependent on consumer

advertising.

Earlier, Asian markets took their cue from Thursday’s US selloff, with China’s growth worries continuing to buffer the markets.

Losses in Europe were nearly as bad as the US, after official data showed growth in the 19-nation eurozone slowed to 0.3 percent in the third quarter, with the economy in powerhouse Germany cooling as France returned to expansion.

Bailed-out Greece contracted by 0.5 percent in the quarter and

the economy in recovery standout Portugal slowed to a standstill as domestic demand dived.

“Slower eurozone GDP growth... will intensify already strong belief that the ECB will deliver more stimulus at its December policy meeting,” said Howard Archer, chief European economist at research group IHS Global Insight, referring to the European Central Bank.

The US losses reflected deep worries that consumers were

keeping their wallets tight going into the all-important NovemberDecember shopping season.

“The retail sales numbers today were disappointing,” said Tom Cahill of Ventura Wealth Management.

“A good portion of the growth we’re experiencing -- even though it’s slow growth -- is due to the consumer. From this stand point, if the consumer starts to retrench, that obviously can be very concerning for growth ex-

pectations.”

Commodity prices also lost ground with crude falling another eight percent, hitting the shares of large mining and oil companies.

the threat of Dengue, because things could quickly get worse once the rains start. The eradication of mosquito nests is important and can be done by draining any stagnant water, covering reservoirs and burying waste on a regular basis. Gutters need to be cleaned out as do any other areas that could potentially hold rainwater. The growth of Aedes

aegypti larvae that can potentially carry the dengue virus, are supported by both rain and heat. “We should not wait until there is a surge in dengue cases before eradicating moquito nests, it is advisable to do so immediately,” he said.

Suratmika hopes that treatment facilities are making preparations for a potential surge in dengue cases, by doing things like having enough beds available for patents who need to be hospitalized from dengue. “Currently Tabanan has five public health centers and two hospitals, one of which is private,” he said.

NEGARA - A number of efforts are being made to help prevent criminal activity amongst youths. Such efforts include an aggressive information campaign conducted by police visits to schools. Each subdistrict police station is involved in a program to visit schools and provide counselling related to teenage issues.

Negara subdistrict police carried out an information session on on Tuesday (Nov. 10) at the SMK PGRI Negara vocational school. Here the police provided information about various issues that teenagers are prone to be affected such as such as drugs, alcohol and promiscuity. Outside of school hours, students are also counselled about following traffic regulations, especially on highways.

“We provide information to students about the hazards and legal risks of certain behaviours and actions, so that they are aware of some of the potential impacts of committing such actions. We also invite them to get involved in positive activities,” said Chief of the Negara subdistrict police Made Prihenjagat after talking to a group of students.

According to Prihenjaga, the counselling and sharing of information will take place over three days in an effort to prevent students form becoming criminals. Other schools will also be visited and students will be given the opportunity of becoming the leader of a flag raising ceremony. (kmb26)

Badung towers evading levies

MANGUPURA - There are an ever increasing number of both telecom towers and water tanks in Badung. As of yet the local government has yet to set forth applicable regulations regarding which ones are subject to levies and which ones are not. Head of the Badung Transportation, Communication and Information Agency, I Wayan Weda Dharmaja, recently stated that rooftops “towers” or “camouflaged towers” are presently not subject to levies.

“According to Transportation Agency regulations, towers under six meters high have no regulations governing them nor applicable levies,” said Weda, after attending the

meeting of the Special Committee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies. He also explained that water tanks or transmitters that are located on a second floor are not considered as towers and thus are also not subject to levies.

Apparently many telecom and water service providers are aware of this loophole in the regulations because according to yesterdays’ measuring of several such towers, all of them measured just under 6 feet,” he explained.

Also: “A decree issued by four ministers, states that rooftop towers that measureless that six meters do not require a permit,” he added.

When asked whether the govern-

ment of Badung plans to impose levies on towers that are less than 6 meters tall, Weda said that his office is continuing to refer to the existing rules. “We are applying existing rules in accordance with the decree of the four ministers,” he said.

Weda admitted that the existence of rooftop towers was not been discussed in the meeting of the Special Committee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies.

“We will be putting this onto the agenda for discussion for regional bylaws. There is still a gap between the decree of the four ministers, and the reality in the filed so things need to be revised,” he concluded.

Chairman of the Special Com-

mittee of the Regional Bylaw Revision on Tower Levies in the Badung House of Representatives, I Gede Aryanta, previously asserted that rooftop towers and water tanks and the like should be subject to levies.

“Since Base Transceiver Station (BTS) are clearly meant for the purpose of usage by telecom networks, and they are imposed with levies,” he said.

In the absence of regulations governing the presence of the telecom tower, Badung is potentially losing substantial telecom tower levy revenue. In the revision of Regional Bylaw No.5/2013 regarding telecom tower controlling levies in

Badung, only two types of telecom towers are not currently subject to levies.

Revision of the regional bylaw has stagnated because there is a lack of clarity regarding the rules.

In fact, the general provisions of Article 1 of Regional Bylaw No. 5/2013 describe telecom towers as any structure that supports a telecom network whose design and construction are tailored to the needs of the telecom networks.

“I think that rooftop towers and water tank belonging to a telecom companies with the intended use of obtaining profits, should logically be subject to levies,” added Aryanta. (kmb27)

Paris air travel proceeds, but some cancel future visits

650 confirmed participants to take part on IGS

NUSA DUA - Committee Chairman of International Guarantee Seminar (IGS), Nina Kurnia Dewi, on Sunday, said that preparations have gone well for both the 28th ACSIC Conference and IGS. Participants from five different continents and dozens of countries have started to arrive and those who are already present include participants from South Korea, Japan, Jordan, Italy, Chile, Tajikistan and Ghana.

“We invited about 500 people from both Indonesia and the rest of the world, to attend the seminar, but even more people than expected have joined with a total of 650 confirmed participants. ACSIC (Asian Credit Supplementation Instiution Confederation) delegates from the 11 member countries have confirmed attendance,” she said.

Dewi added that it is an honor for Indonesia to be entrusted to host for this big event that is expected to serve as a training session and allow for the transfer of knowledge that will contribute to the development of this industry in the future.

The guarantee industry in Indonesia is presently developing. There are currently 20 credit guarantee corporations (CGC), and the establishment of other credit guarantee corporations is strongly encouraged by the Indonesian Government to boost the economy, regional economy, SMEs and access to financing.

The regulation of the guarantee institution was formally issued in 2008, although the practice of credit guarantee has been started since 1970 by the establishment of Perum Jamkrindo. To support the growth of the guarantee industry, the Indonesian Parlement

is currently drafting the Indonesian Guarantee Act, in which it is expected to be finalized at the end of 2015.

In order to promote the development of guarantee industry in Indonesia, the knowledge and experience sharing are needed to improve the understanding, awareness and know-how of the credit guarantee practices for all guarantee stakeholders, including the Indonesian credit guarantee corporations, government and local government, regulator, banks, non-bank financial institution and other related parties.

One of the efforts to do so is through the holding of the international seminar that would invite people from Indonesian Guarantee stakeholders and from all over the world to learn together about the SMEs Development and the role of Credit Guarantee Corporation.

Taking the adjacent date of the 28th ACSIC Conference 2015 that hosted by Perum Jamkrindo and supported by ASIPPINDO, the International Guarantee Seminar would be held in 16 November 2015, in The Westin Hotel, Nusa Dua Bali Indonesia. The theme of the seminar is “The Challenge of

Asippindo plays very important role in the development of guarantee corporations, guarantee system and industry in Indonesia, as it is a forum for all Indonesia credit guarantee corporations to increase and sharing their knowledge, best practice and skill to run some greater roles for the Indonesian economy. Asippindo seeks to facilitate and strive for members’ common interest, and aim at improving professionalism within the industry. Today, Asippindo consists of 20 institution members around the Indonesian archipelago.

Opening two days of talks with world leaders in Turkey, Obama pledged solidarity with France in the effort to hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. He said “the skies have been darkened” by the Paris attacks, but offered no details about what the U.S. or its coalition partners might do to step up its assault against the Islamic State group.

“The killing of innocent people, based on a twisted ideology, is an attack not just on France, not just on Turkey, but it’s an attack on the civilized world,” Obama said after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In addition to the Paris attacks, IS is blamed for two bombings in Turkey this year that killed roughly 130 people.

The specter of the Islamic State threat and Syria’s civil war hanged over the Turkish seaside city of Antalya as Obama and other leaders descended for the Group of 20 summit of leading rich and developing nations. Although the overlapping crises were already on the lineup for the two days of talks, they were thrust to the forefront by elaborately

coordinated attacks that killed 129 in the French capital just two days earlier, in the most destructive attack in the West blamed on the extremist group.

In a fresh reminder of the Islamic State’s expanding capacity to wreak havoc, five Turkish police officers were injured Sunday when a suicide bomber blew himself up during a police raid on a suspected IS hideout near the Syrian border. Turkish security forces also rounded up 20 suspected IS militants in and around Antalya in the run-up to the G-20.

Although world leaders have offered sweeping condemnations of IS following the Paris attacks, they’ve struggled to offer concrete proposals for how to escalate the fight or more effectively rein the group in. Asked by reporters whether he would consider additional action against IS following the Paris attacks, Obama declined to tip his hand.

Obama’s meeting with Erdogan came at the start of a 9-day trip to Turkey, the Philippines and Malaysia that has already been largely overshadowed by Friday’s attacks

in Paris and the related issues of Syria’s civil war and the resulting migrant crisis. Obama said the U.S. stands with Turkey and Europe in the effort to reduce the flow of migrants, and Erdogan predicted a “strong message” on fighting terrorism would come out of the summit.

“This terror attack was not just against the French people, it was against the whole of humanity,” Erdogan said. The summit’s host, Erdogan is fresh off his party’s impressive victory in Turkey’s recent elections, but his relations with Obama have been strained over tactical disagreements about how to push Assad out of power in Syria.

The United States, along with coalition partners, has been bombing IS in Iraq and Syria for more than a year with limited success.

President Barack Obama has been reluctant to get pulled deeper into the conflict and has ruled out a major U.S. ground offensive, although he recently authorized sending a few dozen special operations forces into Syria.

Even as airlines operated a normal schedule of flights into and out of Paris on Saturday, travelers with future plans to visit the French capital reconsidered their options after a series of terror attacks. Some quickly canceled their tickets, a worrisome sign for the travel and tourism industries. Joe Nardozzi, a 31-year-old New York investment banker, and his wife won’t be taking the wedding-anniversary trip they planned later this month. “I have no interest in losing my life over a trip to Paris,” he said. Travel agents said some clients called to cancel trips, and one advocacy group for business travelers predicted that corporations would let frightened employees do the same.

On Friday night, terrorists with guns and suicide vests carried out coordinated attacks across Paris that left at least 129 people dead and more than 350 injured. The targets, including a cafe and a concert hall, were the types of places that travelers on a vacation or business trip might visit. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Decisions by companies and leisure travelers could hinge on whether the Paris attacks are seen as a one-time event or the vanguard of a stepped-up campaign by Islamic radicals. Islamic State, the group fighting in Syria and Iraq, also claimed last month that it bombed a Russian passenger jet over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, although investigators have not determined the cause of the crash that killed 224 people. High tensions after the attacks could be seen at airports across Europe on Saturday.

A Paris-bound Air France jet was evacuated at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport after authorities received a threatening tweet. A terminal at London’s Gatwick Airport was shut down for hours after a man was seen throwing away what looked like a gun.

Air France said it would operate all upcoming flights to and from France but that delays were expected because of increased security at airports, including Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport.

U.S. authorities said that they had nothing to add to Friday’s comment by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson that officials didn’t know of any specific or credible terror threats against the United States.

United Airlines and Delta Air Lines said that all their flights between the U.S. and Paris operated on Saturday. American Airlines said all its flights would run too except a Paris-to-Dallas flight — that plane remained in Dallas when the Paris-bound leg was canceled Friday night. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said flights to and from Paris were full. Still, some Americans canceled upcoming trips after seeing coverage of the terror on Paris streets.

Blake Fleetwood, president of New York-based Cook Travel, said about 10 customers out of the roughly 30 with trips booked to Paris told him they want to cancel. He and his wife might do the same next month.

“It’s a terrible situation,” Fleetwood said. “It’s going to hurt the travel industry, the hotels, the airlines, the restaurants.”

Kevin Mitchell, who runs an advocacy group called the Business Travel Coalition, expects some worried corporate travelers to cancel trips to Europe.(ap)

Bigger, more accessible museum proposed at Statue of Liberty

NEW YORK — A full-scale copper replica of Lady Liberty’s face is the first thing that greets visitors to the museum in the base of the Statue of Liberty.

But the face that gives visitors a chance to get up close and personal with an aspect of the statue that otherwise looms far out of reach is available to only a limited number of visitors. The museum is open only to those who have tickets to the pedestal or the crown.

The National Park Service wants to change that, and has proposed building a larger museum on Liberty Island that would be available

to all of the approximately 4 million annual visitors to the site, not just the 20 percent or so who have statue tickets.

“We’d like to make the visit as enriching as possible,” said John Piltzecker, superintendent of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, who earlier this month announced the opening of public comment on the idea, among the initial steps to

making it a reality.

The next step would be working with a private foundation to raise money for the planned 20,000square-foot (1,860-square-meter) museum, since no federal dollars would be used for the project. Piltzecker didn’t have a figure on what the project could cost but was nonetheless optimistic the museum would open in three to five years.

The park service has a location in mind, on the northwest side of the island

somewhat away from the entrance to the statue, and has started thinking about what would go in it.

One possibility would be the original torch, which currently greets visitors in the pedestal lobby since it was removed in 1984. The material that’s in the current museum, which covers the history of the statue as well as how it was made, would also make the move. That would include the giant face, as well as a replica of the statue’s foot, and exhibits looking at the models and molds used to create Lady Liberty, a gift from France for the American

centennial. It was dedicated at its Liberty Island site in 1886, 10 years after the centennial/ Eileen Gormley, visiting from Princeton, New Jersey, said having access to the museum was important. “This part here is very important and very informative and to just walk up and look at it, you don’t get any of the background and history.”

Michael Miller, of El Dorado Hills in California, agreed.

“It brings it to life,” he said. “It helps to make the seeing of the image itself more meaningful.” (ap)

”IGS and 28th ACSIC Conference”

IGS and 28th ACSIS conference held in Bali

Help to strengthen SME through exchange of knowledge

NUSA DUA - The Association of Indonesia Guarantee Corporation (Asippindo) considers it very strategic to have the International Guarantee Seminar (IGS) and 28th Conference of the Asian Credit Supplementation Institution Confederation (ACSIC) convene in Bali. This event will help national guaranteeing industry players to function in a more effective and efficient manner, by broadening and enriching their knowledge of this field. This knowledge will no doubt help to strengthen Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Cooperatives.

Chairman of Asippindo, Diding S. Anwar, while preparing for the event, pointed out that learning about underwriting from other countries can benefit all related parties. “We, the 20 member companies of Asippindo, want to learn from other countries about underwriting.

We are grateful that the government and various other stakeholders are strongly supporting this event,” he said.

Anwar added that amongst those who are confirmed to be attending the event are: Representatives of the Ministry of Economy, the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners FSA, Bali’s governor and the governor of Bangka Belitung.

“They have all been supportive of the International Seminar on Guarantee and Asia Guarantee Corporation Conference,” he said.

The Chairman of Asippindo also said that this event will allow for an exchange of knowledge through specific case studies and is expected to contribute to financial inclusion and open the way for SMEs be financed as they learn about accessing sources of capital. “For the moment, SMEs in this country still rely directly on banks for guaranteeing their loans,” said Anwar.

Banks here are the ones who issue loans to small companies, and then look for larger companies to become the guarantors of the credit, he explained.

According to Anwar, this business model, such as those applied in Japan and South Korea, have allowed SMEs to develop rapidly. A lot has to be done to strengthen SMEs. “We believe that if underwriters look to the future and do not simply follow banks, then SMEs will be better able to access capital from financial institutions,” said Anwar who also serves as President Director of Jamkrindo.

In Malaysia for example, SMEs often request loans directly form guarantee companies who will then find banks willing to issue the loan.

Asippindo, working through Jamkrindo has established an institution dedicated to ranking and offering consulting to SME management, as way to help SMEs increase their business through increased capacity and capability. In addition to the rating agency, the new institution also has an agency that functions to provide data bases to SMEs about their specific market. This will reduce the cost of collecting such data on a case by case basis. (kmb36/kmb18)

To the north, loud explosions reverberated around the national stadium, packed with some 80,000 fans watching France beat Germany in a soccer exhibition match. One of the loud detonations in the chill air so startled French player Patrice Evra that he paused in mid-run, seemingly lost, and kicked away the ball.

A police union official, Gregory Goupil, said the two explosions were suicide attacks and a bombing that killed at least three people — near two of the entrances to the stadium and a McDonalds. The stadium was the first site targeted.

From there, the wave of killings quickly spread.

There were 14 dead on one street, five on another, Molins said. The spread of the killings added to the confusion and made a coherent picture slow to form.

But the shock was instantaneous, as was the understanding that this was terror and killing on a scale unseen in Paris since World War II. “The terrorists, the assassins, sprayed the outsides of several cafes with machine guns and went inside,” Cadot, the police chief, said. “So there were victims in terrible and atrocious

dining in a restaurant in the trendy neighborhood when he heard sounds like the fireworks for France’s Bastille Day national holiday.

Then the panic began.

“Waiters went outside and said it was a shooting. We saw dozens of people rundown the street, a couple were bleeding,” he said.

As police, soldiers and the emergency services sprang into action, sirens wailing, helicopters whirring overhead, medical personnel started reporting for work of their own accord to help treat the injured. Five subway lines were shut down entirely, and Paris police told people to stay at home and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

At the Bataclan, police launched an assault to free hostages. Haggard-looking survivors were bused away.

At the stadium, fans streamed onto the pitch after the match, preferring the relative safety of inside of the stadium to the chaos outside. Police forensic officers dressed in white scoured the blast sites for evidence.

French President Francois Hollande was quickly evacuated from the stadium and soon after declared a state of emergency. (ap)

Paris attack sites: from national stadium to party district

- Bataclan concert hall, 89 dead -

The popular 1,500-capacity venue in eastern Paris was sold out for a concert by the US band Eagles of Death Metal. About an hour after the band took to the stage, black-clad gunmen carrying AK-47s stormed into the hall and opened fire on the concert-goers, methodically reloading after emptying their magazines.

They remained holed up inside the venue -- holding those present hostage -- for nearly three hours, killing at least 89 people and injuring scores more.

Two of the assailants blew themselves up after police stormed the venue shortly after midnight, while the third was shot by police.

The terrace of Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge on Rue Alibert in the 10th district and La Carillon bar on the opposite side of the street were the scene of another attack.

The gunfire left at least 15 people dead at the two venues. Witnesses said the assailants arrived in a black Seat Leon car.

- Rue de la Fontaine au Roi, at least 5 dead -

A few hundred metres (yards) from the Bataclan, one or more attackers also raked the terrace of the Casa Nostra pizzeria with gunfire.

- Suicide blast on Boulevard Voltaire -

U2 postponed its Saturday night concert in Paris, which was to be aired by HBO. The Foo Fighters were scheduled to play at the Accor Hotels Arena in Paris on Monday.

“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt concern for everyone in Paris that we have been forced to announce

the cancellation of the rest of our tour.

“There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was hurt or who lost a loved one.”

At least 129 people were killed Friday at suicide bombings near France’s national stadium, shootings at Paris cafes and a hostage-taking inside the concert theater Bataclan, where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to perform.

First attacker identified from Paris carnage

PARIS - French police have identified the first of seven gunmen who killed at least 129 people in a wave of carnage claimed by the Islamic State group, as international investigators stepped up their probes into Paris’s worst ever attacks.

French authorities Saturday named the first attacker as 29year-old Omar Ismail Mostefai, who was identified from a severed finger found at Bataclan concert hall, scene of the worst of the bloodshed.

IS jihadists said they were behind the gun and suicide attacks that left a trail of destruction at a sold-out concert hall, at restaurants and bars, and outside France’s Stade de France national stadium.

President Francois Hollande called the coordinated assault on Friday night an “act of war” as the capital’s normally bustling streets fell eerily quiet, 10 months after attacks on magazine Charlie Hebdo shocked the nation.

Meanwhile the investigation widened across Europe, with Belgian police arresting several suspects and German authorities probing a possible link to a man recently found with a car of explosives. The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one attacker has raised suspicions some of the assailants might have entered Europe as part of an influx of people fleeing Syria’s civil war.

“We confirm that the (Syrian) passport holder came through the Greek island of Leros on October 3, where he was registered under EU rules,” said the Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas.

Scenes of horror as a Paris night becomes a bloodbath

THE ASSAILANTS’ weapons were those of war: automatic rifles and suicide belts of explosives. The killing was indiscriminate, spread across a swath of the city, in at least six different sites. An ordinary Friday night in Paris transformed

into a bloodbath. The word Parisians used over and over as they tried to make sense of the horror was “carnage.”

At the packed Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris, the attackers opened fire on a crowd waiting to hear American rock band Eagles of Death Metal perform. One witness told France Info radio he heard them yell “Allahu Akbar” — God is great in

Arabic — as they started their killing spree and took hostages. The city’s police chief, Michel Cadot, said the assailants also wore explosive belts, which they detonated.

About a mile (1.5 kilometers) from there, attackers sprayed gunfire at the Belle Equipe bar, busy as ever on a Friday night with patrons unwinding from their week.

One witness, also speaking to French radio,

said the dead and wounded dropped “like flies” and that “there was blood everywhere.

You feel very alone in moments like that.”

The preliminary death toll there appeared to be 18 dead, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. White sheets were laid over bodies.
