NEW YORK - Kristen Stewart, who shot to fame as Bella Swan in “The Twilight Saga” films and has a starring role in “Snow White and the Huntsman”, jumped to the top of Forbes. com’s annual list of highest-paid actresses on Tuesday. The 22year-old earned an estimated $34.5 million from May 2011 to May 2012 and pushed Angelina Jolie into fourth place.

Cameron Diaz, who had a surprise hit with “Bad Teacher”, came in second with $34 million. “She (Stewart) is an up-and-coming star. She is earning a lot of money from one of the most successful franchises of all time.

This is who you would expect to see right now,” said Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Los Angeles bureau chief.

“This year you are seeing somebody young and at the brink of potentially great stardom sitting on the top of the

list.” Forbes.com compiled the list and estimated salaries by talking to agents, managers and lawyers and based earnings on pay, profits, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, who largely took a break from filming after 2009’s “The Blind Side”, came third with $25 million.

Andrew Garfield: The new ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Associated Press Writer

LONDON — Andrew Garfield’s Spidey sense is tingling — and convincing. Garfield, the latest actor to play SpiderMan, makes people believe he really is a spider — even before he gets into the costume, the new film’s director said Monday at the gala British premiere for “The Amazing Spider-Man.” The word the producers of the reboot, the director and Garfield’s co-stars use to describe him is “committed.”

Director Marc Webb said he was impressed with the actor’s focus, emotional gravitas, comedy chops, and especially the way Garfield conveyed his transformation from teen-ager to spider.

“He was so committed to the physical dimension of the character, like he really was focused on feeling like a spider was taking over him and keeping that DNA alive and every time I would see him, his elbow would be moving a certain way and he was embodying the, like he really was, it felt like he was being taken over by a spider — and when he got in the suit it really paid a lot of dividends,” he explained.

The 28-year-old Garfield said he didn’t go as far as method acting. “I don’t know what that word means, but I definitely was dedicated to it and wanted to make sure that we did our job as well as possible and made sure that the character is served in the way that it should be,” he said.

One of the ways in which he devoted himself to becoming Peter Parker and his alter-ego, Spider-Man, was following an intense fitness regimen for six months, six days a week, plus three months of rehearsals and training for his stunt work.

Co-star Emma Stone thinks Garfield’s love of the superhero since he was 3 years old makes “his dedication and protection of the character totally apparent throughout the movie.”

of $20 million while Charlize Theron, Stewart’s co-star in “Snow White and the Huntsman” who also appears in “Prometheus”, trailed at $18 million, and rounded out the top five places.

Parker, whose 2011 film “I Don’t Know How She Does It” brought in a disappointing $30 million at the worldwide box office, slipped to seventh place with a $15 million salary.

“She is almost earning more from her perfume and endorsement deals right now than from entertainment.

That is true of a lot of women. They have these outside deals that are very lucrative. Angelina Jolie earns a lot from residuals, as does Sarah Jessica Parker,” Pomerantz said.

Former “Friends” star Jennifer Anniston just made the list, earning an $11 million salary.

England’s luck changes as Rooney heads winner Reuters

DONETSK - A Wayne Rooney header and a slice of luck when Ukraine were controversially denied an equaliser gave England a 1-0 win over the co-hosts and a place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 on Tuesday. Rooney headed home a Steven Gerrard cross when he was left unmarked at the far post after 48 minutes to celebrate his return to the side after serving a twomatch ban.

That was enough to give England first place in Group D and secure a clash with Italy in Kiev on Sunday.

Ukraine, who domi-

nated possession for most of the match, thought they had levelled just past the hour mark when Marco Devic’s shot was initially parried by goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The ball looped back towards goal before it was hacked away by defender John Terry, although television replays suggested the ball may have crossed the line. If it did, England had a huge helping hand from the soccer gods who looked the other way in Bloemfontein two years ago when Frank Lampard scored a ‘goal’ against Germany in the World Cup.

Bali News Bali Post news is not fake

that has objection on the news.

This is suitable with the press law number 40/1999. He also added that the reporters must obey the journalistic code.

What about the case of the governor against Bali Post. Armada explained that the Press Council has taken decision that the news in Bali Post is not false news but Bali Post also made a mistake not confirming with the source. So for that reason, Bali Post should give the answering right to the governor.

This must be done by the governor before continuing to the next step such as going into court. Meanwhile, the lawyer of the governor was mostly asking about the absence of the reporter on the scene. (kmb)

Again, an illegal supermarket operates in Denpasar Denpasar (Bali Post)—

Giant Mart (GM) Supermarket located on Jalan Ahmad Yani Utara, Peguyangan, North Denpasar, is alleged to have no permit. The Head of Denpasar Licensing Office, AA Rai Soryawan, said the GM so far was in the consultation stage of permit application. Nevertheless, the Licensing Office would not perform any policing.

“Since it was about to submit the permit we have to encourage. Except, it has been in operation but not submitted the permit,” said Soryawan, Tuesday (Jun 19).

Related to proliferation of modern stores in the capital of Bali Province, this official from Gianyar argued that supermarket was not the same as minimarket whose existence had been restricted.

“At the moment, the existence of supermarket has not been restricted, while the minimarket has been restricted to 295 units of store pursuant to the Mayoral Decree,” he explained.

When asked whether it would not become a bad precedent for other investors who submitted permit to build a new store later on and claimed to enforce the law indecisively, Soryawan only sighed. “If anybody would say so (indecisive— Ed), I will submit to my fate. To be sure, I have a duty to participate in generating more regionally generated revenues (PAD). As long as based on study the stores are profitable and do not infringe the laws, so what’s wrong?” he asked.

Meanwhile, based on observation in the field, the business located just 100 meters north of the office of the North Denpasar Subdistrict Head was in the condition of 99 percent ready to go. Parking lots, shopping rack and automated teller machine (ATM) in the store owned by PT Hero Tbk had been ready. As seen, three women inside the store were cleaning up the room. Unfortunately, those employees preferred to move away when approached by media crews. (kmb27)

This is because the source of information is a credible source.

According to the journalistic code, false or lie is the reporter already knew the fact but he or she didn’t write it according to the real fact.

The sand which is collected illegaly on Pebuahan hamlet, Banyubiru village, Jembrana

Used for pond need

Dredging of sea sand at Pebuahan discontinued Negara (Bali Post)—

Dredging of sea sand on the beach verge of Pebuahan hamlet, Banyubiru village, Negara subdistrict was discontinued by the public order officer (Satpol PP) of Jembrana, Tuesday (Jun 19). Having been traced, hundreds of cubic meters of such sea sand on private property were about to be used for the material mixture of pond established by investors.

I Wayan Sudana, the landowner living at Ketugtug, Loloan Timur village, Negara, met at the site confirmed to have dredged the sea sand, but not for commercial use. The land area spreading across 3 hectares was going to be used for traditional pond. Incidentally the land was located adjacent to the beach and having sea sandy land. Meanwhile, the 10 hectares of land located next to his land was contracted for pond by investor from Surabaya.

“Incidentally they need a mixture of sea sand for foundation of pond. I myself also want to make a pond here.

Since this is my own land, so I think it natural for me to take advantage of it,” he explained.

He admitted the dredging activity had taken place since last week by using the excavator working in the pond project nearby. Afterward, the sea sand was transported by investor to location of pond construction site by four-wheeled truck. Based on observation on site last Tuesday, the excavator had been moved, but the sand dune of more than three meters high was still on site. Besides, the excavation activities left a pit along

over 200 meters with the depth of two meters.

A debate once occurred between the public order officers and landowner who insisted that his activity did not break any law. However, having been given detailed explanation regarding to coastal borderline and quarrying C, the landowner ultimately complied with the rule.

Section Head of the Jembrana Civilian Security Guard of Satpol PP, Nyoman Gede Suda Asmara, said though the dredging was carried out on private certified land, the owner did not ask permission to perform the quarrying.

Similarly, the dredging by means of heavy equipment should have recommendation from the local Transport Agency forwarded to the province.

Location of the sea sand dredging belonged to coastal borderline of 100 meters. The owner had violated the Law No. 4/2003 concerning with the taking of material belonging to class C. “Although it is not for sale, but should have permission. Moreover, it still belongs to the coastal borderline area. Therefore, we temporarily discontinue the activity and ask the owner to come to the office of the public order officer for submitting the permit,” said Section Head of the Civilian Security Guard.

Having been reprimanded, the landowner eventually promised to submit the permission first. “If this activity violates, we are ready to stop it. And if it should be postponed (location of the pond), we are also ready to obey it,” he added. (kmb26)

US Monsoon Season Set to Make Annual Debut

This recent undated photo provided Tuesday, June 19, 2012 by the Seine et Marne region council shows a pin recently discovered at Fontainebleau castle, south of Paris.

16th century French queen’s pin found in toilet

The word “monsoon” may conjure up images of a relentless downpour pelting some exotic locale, but the fabled rainy season comes every year to the United States, and may make its annual debut this coming weekend. And a monsoon doesn’t just mean rain.

“Surprisingly, the real definition of a monsoon is basically a seasonal shift in the wind. That happens in various parts of the world, and we have ours in the southwestern parts of the U.S.,” said Stan Czyzyk, a meteorologist at the Las Vegas office of the National Weather Service, which has forecast that thunderstorms and heavy rain may hit northern Arizona beginning on Saturday.

tion pattern in the atmosphere that brings humidity or moisture into areas that otherwise are quite dry — desert areas — and helps foster large thunderstorms,” said David Gochis, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

Monsoons happen in the summer months, and largely affect subtropical areas, Gochis told OurAmazingPlanet. Large-scale shifts in wind direction bring massive, near-daily thunderstorms to regions that are dry seven or eight months of the year, Gochis said.

“In the Southwest, what that means is the winds shift from largely westerly to southerly, and bring moisture up from the tropics,” Gochis said.

BAF becomes Magelang Festival’s inspiration Antara

DENPASAR - Head of Tourism and Culture Department in Magelang Regency, Central Java, Dian Setia Darma said that Bali Art Festival (BAF) will become the inspiration for Magelang Festival that held once a year.

“In Magelang, we holding a festival and cultural carnival during the anniversary of Magelang.

Next year, we’ll plan to hold Borobudur Night Creative that will adopt BAF’s concept,” Dian said on Wednesday.

According to Dian, BAF is very important to preserve art and culture, also promoting culture that each regency have. Dian said Magelang would like to take BAF

PARIS — It may be the Renaissance equivalent of a royal flush. A hairpin belonging to 16th century French Queen Catherine de Medici has been discovered at a royal residence outside Paris. What has conservators scratching their heads is exactly where it was found: down a communal toilet. it bore interlocking C’s — for “Catherine.”

After the age-old soil was c l e a n e d o ff , F o n t a i n e b l e a u Palace’s conservator Vincent Droguet also noted a finish of white and green, known to be Catherine’s colors.

Less easy for the experts, however, was to explain why the personal possession of a queen known for luxury would end up

in a Renaissance-era communal toilet — as opposed to her royal one. The artifact was found by accident as archeologists dug around the toilet to prepare the surrounding area for restoration. Droguet called the find a “mystery.”

“But what would Catherine de Medici be doing there? Maybe it was a lady-in-waiting who took it. Perhaps it was stolen, and just fell in.”

Night work may increase a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer by 30 percent -- a slightly elevated but “statistically significant” risk, French researchers said Tuesday. This placed night work in the same order of risk as factors like genetic mutation, a late first pregnancy or hormonal treatment, Pascal Guenel, director of French health research body INSERM, told AFP. Put into context, a smoker was eight times as likely to contract lung cancer as a woman working night shifts was to get breast cancer, he explained. About 1,3 million women around the world are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

In a study published in the In-

ternational Journal of Cancer, the INSERM-led team said an association between night work with breast cancer “was mainly observed in women working during overnight shifts, those who worked at night for 4.5 or more years and less than three nights per week on average.

“The association was stronger in women who worked at night before their first full-term pregnancy than in women who started working at night later in life.” The scientists said more study was needed to determine the reasons.

Hypotheses include disruption of “body clock” genes, internal desynchronisation and sleep deprivation altering the immune system. The study was conducted in France among 1,232 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2005 and 2007.

Feared, rhodamine used in oblation pastries Denpasar (Bali Post)—

Prohibition regarding the use of hazardous dyes on food intensively conducted by the Regional Agency of Drug and Food Control (BBPOM) to cottage industry seems difficult to be implemented immediately.

Evidently, the use of dyes like rhodamine is not only found in fresh cakes and school children snacks, but also in oblation pastry used in ritual. Moreover, the Hindu society in Bali is currently preoccupied with religious ceremonies which surely require oblation pastries.

The Test Division Head of BBPOM Bali, I Wayan Eka Ratnata, said in the field there were a lot of cottage industries ignoring the appeal to no longer sell food containing hazardous dye. Indeed,

attractive colors were expected to draw people to buy.

“There is possibility if many oblation pastries offered in the market still contain rhodamine. Rhodamine is generally used for red textile dyeing,”

he said. The use of rhodamine was alleged to happen to oblation pastries such as begina, jaja uli, steamed muffin and some others. Probably, the use of such textile dyeing was carried out intentionally, or happened due to ignorance of the community.

“Indeed, it is hard to make the traders aware if they have been accustomed to using food additives.

They argued the products sold were favored by consumers,” he said.

Even, based on the research made so far, in fact it was found the content of rhodamine B, especially the red and pink, in the oblation pastries

like begina, jaja uli, steamed muffin and sun cake. Eka added that so far the socialization of health hazard of rhodamine B had been more frequently organized. Rhodamine B was a synthetic dye in the form of powder usually used for paint industry, textile and paper. Its crystal powder was odorless and purplish red, while it would be florescent bright red when in the form of solution.

“Based on the findings so far, rhodamine B substance was frequently abused for food and cosmetic dyes.

This substance can cause irritation to respiratory tract. Aside from

rhodamine B, the other hazardous substances like yellow methanol are also often misused,” he explained.

According to him, the ubiquitous use of rhodamine B did not get serious attention because the hazardous effect of such food additive did not work in short period. People did not believe and care about the guidance provided by BBPOM because the perpetrators only featured profit orientation. “On that account, the people’s mindset should be changed to no longer purchase food with attractive color, chewy texture and low price,” he said.

The pair came face to face at the meeting of the world’s major economies in Mexico, at a time when tensions between their countries were already running high just after the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War. Cameron urged Kirchner to respect the will of the 3,000 residents on the South Atlantic islands, who want to remain British. Kirchner countered him by citing UN resolutions calling for sovereignty negotiations.

“The president had the UN reso-

lutions and she said to Cameron: ‘Let’s respect the United Nations’,” Argentina’s Foreign Minister Hector Timmerman said.

“The prime minister refused to accept the documents, turned his back and walked away without a farewell,” he added, accusing Britain of disrespecting UN resolutions and of retaining a colonialist mindset.

A Downing Street source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that there had been an exchange, but downplayed the claim that Cameron had refused to

accept a packet of documents from Kirchner.

Cameron had sought to urge Kirchner to respect the right of the Falklands’ current residents to decide their own future in a referendum, the source said. “He took it up to her to make those points.

She took that badly and that was basically it,” she said.

“I don’t think it was actually totally clear that she was trying to give him documents.... We’re following up with Argentinian officials here to see if there are any documents they want to give us.”

In 1982 Argentina’s former military regime invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands, which are known as the Malvinas in Spanish.

US President Barack Obama on Tuesday lobbied President Hu Jintao of China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, on efforts to end the bloodshed in Syria.

China and Russia have frustrated the United States by blocking stronger UN sanctions and action against President Bashar al-Assad, and Obama has partly used the G20 summit in Mexico to push for a change in attitude.

Obama told reporters at the start of the talks in the Mexican resort of Los Cabos that he wanted to discuss with Hu ways “that can end the bloodshed and arrive at the kind of legitimate government that I think we all hope for.”

On Monday, the US leader had spent a third of a two-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin dealing with Syria, and the leaders agreed a political transition is needed in the country but failed to come up with an immediate plan.

Both Russia and China said earlier this month that they would coordinate in backing the peace plan for Syria framed by UN envoy Kofi Annan, despite its failure to

halt a brutal crackdown on opposition forces and civilians.

The two nations supported the UN Security Council move to strongly condemn the Syrian government for using artillery in a massacre in the central town of Houla in which at least 108 people were killed.

But they have vetoed two UN Security Council resolutions highly critical of Assad’s regime and they oppose any military intervention in Syria or efforts to enforce regime change.

Obama, who last met Hu on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in Seoul in March, said he also wanted to discuss “Iran, North Korea and the challenges of curbing nuclear proliferation.”

Hu, speaking through a translator, mentioned that Tuesday’s encounter was the 12th between the two leaders and said the two sides had made “made new progress in the cooperative partnership with the United States.”

Obama’s talks with Hu were politically sensitive, given that they took place less than five months before the US election, as his Republican foe Mitt Romney accuses him of not standing up to Beijing on economic clashes.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, pictured in April 2012, has been disqualified from holding office by the country’s top court.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari hoped Wednesday to nominate a new prime minister following a night of crisis talks after the Supreme Court disqualified Yousuf Raza Gilani for contempt.

The move could ease uncertainty in a country that is increasingly trying US patience over Al-Qaedalinked havens, struggling with a Taliban insurgency and heading deeper towards a financial crisis that could force it back to the IMF.

80 percent of modern stores in Bali commit fraud

Eighty percent of 300 units of minimarkets and supermarkets in Bali monitored by the Consumer Protection Agency (LPK) of Bali are proved to still commit fraud. By all means, such action violates the Consumer Protection Law article 4 where one of the stipulations mentions that consumers are entitled to get correct, clear and honest information. It is definitely very detrimental to consumers.

“The results of our monitoring in a number of minimarkets and supermarkets scattered in Bali, 80 percent are proved to have violated the consumer protection law,” said Putu Armaya, Director of LPK Bali, in Denpasar, Tuesday (Jun 19).

He complained about the ubiquitous modern stores such as supermarkets and minimarkets committing fraud actions. One of them was not updating the price of goods on display.

“Let’s say, the price of a product on display is written IDR 10,000. But, at the checkout consumer must pay at IDR11, 000. Clearly, it is detrimental to consumers,” he said. Not only cheating on the price alone, he also saw that a number of minimarkets and supermarkets sometimes still displayed expired products. Related to the matter, Armaya reminded that community should become a smart buyer. “When purchasing a product, we want people first examine the goods to be purchased,” he advised.

As savvy consumers, he urged to pay a great attention to the product, especially about the expiry date, and see the package of the product more carefully. By observing the expiry date and physical appearance of products, the buyer could determine the quality of products purchased. When encountering any expired items, consumers were entitled to notify the owner of the store or supermarket. “Public are also entitled to report this to relevant agencies,” he said.

Related to the offense, he insisted that business people could be imposed with quite severe sanctions namely criminal penalties of 5 years and a fine worth IDR 2 billion.

“Despite the sanctions imposed in the Law of Consumer Protection are very severe, in fact so far there is no deterrent effect to ‘mischievous’ business people. Moreover, many consumers in Bali are not critical,” he said.

In response to such findings, the LPK Bali would have a meeting with the existing stakeholders and report the findings to relevant agencies, in this regard the Industry and Trade Agency. (kmb28)

The court ruling effectively dissolved the cabinet and unless the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and its fractious coalition members agree on a replacement prime minister, could bring elections forward to later this year.

Ahmed Mukhtar, until recently defence minister and now minister for water and power, is thought to be the most likely candidate, favoured for his experience and unflinching loyalty to President Asif Ali Zardari.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani

Khar, who has made international headlines for her beauty and designer handbags, has been apparently ruled out for inexperience.

“The process of consultation is continuing. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has made up its mind to elect a new prime minister rather than confront the court and create constitutional deadlock,” a government official told AFP. Zardari was to present “three or four names” to coalition party leaders late Tuesday to try and find a consensus, said the official.

G20 backs Europe’s overhaul to fight crisis Reuters

LOS CABOS - Europe won support from world leaders on Tuesday for an ambitious but slow-moving overhaul of the euro zone, even as pressure built in financial markets for quicker solutions to its debt crisis that threatens the world economy.

AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA

A sign left outside the offices of JPMorgan Chase & Co. after supporters of a proposed “Robin Hood Tax” on investment transactions demonstrated June 19, 2012 on Park Avenue in New York. The proposal calls for a small tax on every financial trade that would raise money for public services.

Europe told a Group of 20 summit it intends to work on concrete steps to integrate its banking sectors, a major step long pressed by the United States and other nations to break the cycle of debt-laden countries bailing out their troubled banks which only pushes governments ever deeper into debt.

U.S. President Barack Obama said the sense of urgency amongst European leaders was clear and they knew what steps were needed to “break the fever” of an escalating debt crisis.

“None of them are going to be a silver bullet that solves this thing entirely ... in the next week or two weeks or two months, but each step points to the fact that Europe is moving towards further integration rather than break-up,” Obama told reporters at the end of the two-day summit in a Pacific resort.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said a strengthened framework for a euro-wide fiscal and banking union to underpin the common currency would help restore Europe’s economic growth and lower painfully high borrowing costs for indebted countries.

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde hailed the progress saying “the seeds of a pan-European recovery plan were planted.”

“It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time, it has got to be done well,” she said, adding that immediate measures and longerterm ones must be pursued in parallel.

G20 leaders now await a European

Union summit next week where European officials say they will launch the long process of deeper integration, starting with a push for banking union, with an aim of finalizing a broad plan

by December. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a critic of Europe’s progress to date, said it was now getting to the root of its debt crisis.

“What will be important, what we’ll be watching for next week and going forward will be the concerted, coordinated action that will actually make these things happen,” Harper said.

Financial markets have yet to be convinced about the chances of agreement. Germany has resisted taking on euro-wide financial risks if its citizens have to foot too much of the bill, while others, such as France and Italy, want to move more quickly. Although the danger of Greece crashing out of the euro zone eased after weekend elections, risks are mounting that Spain, the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy, will need a full-blown international rescue as its longer-term debt yields hover above 7 percent, a level that has forced other euro countries to seek bailouts.

The tensions over the world economy and the round-the-clock discussions contrasted with the laid-back atmosphere of Los Cabos, a beach resort at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California.

The summit declaration was drafted at a hotel next to the adults-only, clothesoptional Desire Resort And Spa.

Greece in reach of coalition deal to revise bailout

ATHENS - Greece on Wednesday was close to forming a coalition that will try to revise an unpopular EUIMF bailout deal and pull the country out of a harrowing recession that has doomed its recovery efforts.

After two months of political deadlock, the struggling eurozone member is under intense international pressure to get back on track with reforms promised for a bailout that has kept the economy on life support for the past two years.

The International Monetary Fund is already pressing to send a team of experts to Greece as soon as the new government is announced, with conservative New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras poised to

become the new prime minister.

New Democracy narrowly won Sunday’s elections against the the radical leftist anti-austerity Syriza and is set to form a coalition with the socialists Pasok which will also be supported in parliament by the small Democratic Left party.

Samaras was to meet with Pasok leader Evangelos Venizelos at 0900 GMT and then Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis after that, New Democracy said.

The liberal Kathimerini daily said on Wednesday: “The coalition government agreement is being finalised,” while the centre-left newspaper Ta Nea said: “They are trying to solve the crossword puzzle of the new government.”

of talks on Tuesday that a coalition agreement was possible “by midday tomorrow” -- just hours before a three-day deadline for conservative New Democracy to form a coalition runs out.

New Democracy took 129 of the 300 parliamentary seats including an extra 50 seats given to the winner and Syriza took 71 seats after garnering more than a quarter of the vote in a country struggling with its fifth year of recession.

Pasok took 33 seats and Democratic Left won 17 seats, which would give the expected new government a majority of 29 seats to pass controversial reforms.

Officials from the three parties were set to meet at 1000 GMT to hammer out a common policy

statement after initial discussions on Tuesday lasting six hours.

The government’s first priority will be to restore contact with international auditors and resume the flow of loans that was suspended ahead of the election.

Foreign creditors like Germany have stressed that they are willing to give Greece more time to meet a deficit reduction target currently set at 2014 but will not change the actual substance of the bailout deal agreed in February.

Under the current conditions, Greece has to cut 11.5 billion euros -- the equivalent of five percent of its gross domestic product -- by 2014, although Greek parties have called for this deadline to be put off to 2016.

Greece has been forced to seek

bailouts twice after initially hiding its debt woes, first for 110 billion euros in 2010 and then for 130 billion euros earlier this year. It has also had a 107billion-euro private debt write-off.

Greece has stepped up shortterm debt auctions to restock its depleted treasury as before the elections officials cited in the Greek press warned there were only enough cash reserves to pay salaries and pensions until July 20. And its banks are in pretty poor shape despite a recapitalisation effort.

The eurozone is hoping the result can draw a line under a lengthy period of uncertainty that has unsettled markets in a country where the European sovereign debt crisis kicked off in 2009 before spreading across the continent.

TUBAN - To celebrate World Oceans day 2012 and mark the inaugural world ‘Coral Triangle’ day on the 8th of June, Surfer Girl was delighted to organize a beach clean up at Jerman Beach, Tuban, Bali.

In line with ‘The Happiest Girls Brand in the World’s’ mission statement ‘To make a positive difference through all that we do’ Surfer Girl participates and organizes beach clean ups on a regular basis as part of the companies CSR ‘Care Share Respect’ and Green Practices programs.

For World Oceans Day the Surfer Girl family was excited to mark the date with the largest beach clean up organized by the company for the year so far.

World Oceans Day this year was connected with the worlds first international Coral Triangle Day, celebrated in several locations around the Coral Triangle region on June 9, 2012. The purpose of Coral Triangle day is to highlight the importance of marine conservation and to raise awareness on this global center of marine biodiversity.

The Coral Triangle is a six million square-kilometer ocean expanse that contains the highest number of reef building corals on the planet. It spans across six countries in Asia and the Pacific including Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. Its spectacular coral reefs systems host thousands of whales, dolphins, rays, sharks, and six of the world’s seven species of marine turtles. More than 120 million people heavily depended on the region’s marine resources for food and income.

Ni Made Rusmawati, General Manager of Surfer Girl Indonesia, said they are very proud that as a

positive brand, Surfer Girl is always consistent in doing real efforts to preserve the environment especially the beaches in Bali, being the home of Summer the Surfer Girl and I can’t think of a more appropriate way for the Surfer Girl family to celebrate World Oceans day.

The afternoon kicked off with over 70 excited members of the Surfer Girl team, along with Surfer Girl CSR partners from SLB Jimbaran, Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak, Bali Life Foundation and WWF gathering at the beach ready to do their part to mark the international

date. As everyone set about enthusiastically cleaning the beach to make sure every piece of rubbish was gathered ready to be collected

by Eco Bali for recycling some of the talented students from SLB Jimbaran kept the atmosphere lively with their Jimbe traditional music

performance.

Once the beach clean up came to an end the event was closed with an additional touch of fun from the Surfer Girl team themselves as they put on the first of the annual Surfer Girl internal talent shows of the year.

2015, tourism workers and employers required to have certification Bali Post

DENPASAR - Facing the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, companies and workers in the tourism sector must have certification.

At that time, the entire workforce in ASEAN countries would be free to work anywhere within the ASEAN. Currently the ASEAN has signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) opening the job opportunity in 11 sectors including tourism.

Inspector General of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Putu Laksaguna, said that for workers, the certification was just like a driving license that notified one’s

capability. “Certification recognizes the professional competence like the existing certification valid for professionals in financial sector,” said Putu Laksaguna in Denpasar.

He said the Law No. 10/2009 concerning with tourism mandated that workers in the tourism sector should have competency standards through certification. Such certification was highly required in dealing with the national and international competition.

“Development of tourism sector should be followed by the standard of businesses in tourism evidenced by certification of the existing business. The law states that any

products, services and management of tourism enterprises should have a standard of business,” he said. He also mentioned the human resources certification and business certification in tourism field would set the standards and certification in tourism ranging from hotel, restaurant, and travel service up to MICE. Such standards and certification consisted of two kinds, namely the certification intended for workers and business organization.

“As a matter of fact, certification and competency test for tourism workers has been running for long time in accordance with the National Work Competence Stan-

dards of Indonesia. However, it is voluntary, but this rule will require it,” he said.

Explained, the government of the RI had prepared a regulation No. 52/2012 on the certification of competency and certification of tourism businesses. One of the rules clearly stated that tourism entrepreneurs had to employ the labor that had got certification of competence both expatriate and local tourism workforce.

“Existence of the certificate of competency can have an impact on the determination of wage system for tourism workforce. Now, it will greatly depend on the owners of

tourism business in Bali whether they appreciate the certified tourism labor,” he explained.

The government hoped the increase in the quality of tourism labor through certification could have an impact on the increase in the income of Bali tourism labor in the future. Government Regulation No.52/2012 disseminated from 2012 would be optimally taken effect in 2014. For preparation of the law implementation in years to come, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy was preparing the implementing legislation so that it could be applied in society. (kmb27)

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, pictured in February 2012, has requested political asylum from Ecuador and is holed up at its embassy in London while Quito examines the request, officials said.

WikiLeaks founder Assange seeks Ecuador asylum Agence France Presse

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walked into Ecuador’s embassy in London and applied for political asylum in a sensational bid to avoid extradition to Sweden over alleged sex crimes.

The former computer hacker, who last week exhausted all his legal options in Britain to fight extradition, was holed up at the embassy in central London while Quito examined the request, officials said.

Britain’s Foreign Office said Assange was “beyond the reach of the police” because he was on diplomatic territory, but stressed it would seek to work with the Ecuadorian authorities “to resolve this situation as soon as possible.”

Assange will remain at the embassy under the protection of the Ecuadorian government while his application is considered.

“The decision to consider Mr Assange’s application for protective asylum should in no way be interpreted as the Government of Ecuador interfering in the judicial processes of either the United Kingdom or Sweden,” the embassy said in a statement.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Tuesday that Australia will continue to offer consular assistance to Assange.

“Australia will continue to

support Mr. Assange just as we do support any Australian overseas who faces legal difficulties or dilemmas,” Gillard told reporters after a Group of 20 summit in Mexico.

Assange confirmed in a statement he was seeking “diplomatic sanctuary and political asylum” and expressed his gratitude to the Ecuadorian ambassador and government for considering the request.

In Quito, Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said: “Julian Assange has requested political asylum at the diplomatic mission of Ecuador in London.

“The government is examining the request.”

The embassy later confirmed it would be seeking the views of Britain, Sweden and the United States in order to make sure it complied with international law.

Assange has always maintained that the moves to extradite him to Sweden for questioning over allegations of rape and sexual assault are politically motivated and that the real aim is for him

to be handed over to the US authorities.

The silver-haired 40-year-old Australian’s website enraged Washington by releasing a flood of classified US information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It also published more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables, revealing often candid assessments of a huge range of issues as well as the views of other governments.

Ecuador offered Assange residency in 2010, with the government saying at the time it wanted to invite Assange to speak in Ecuador after expressing concern about some of the alleged US activities revealed by WikiLeaks.

Assange interviewed Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa for his talk show aired on the Russian international television station RT in April.

The embassy is in the upmarket west London district of Knightsbridge, near to Harrods department store and in the same mansion block as the Colombian embassy.

That effort in South Africa definitely did go over the line although it was inexplicably missed by the referee and linesmen.

England coach Roy Hodgson said Devic’s shot on Tuesday had probably crossed the line but told reporters it was about time England’s luck turned after they also had a ‘goal’ harshly disallowed against hosts Portugal in Euro 2004.

“We’ve suffered with bad luck in the past, against Portugal and Germany, maybe it was a case of if there was going to be luck, we were going to get it.” As if to emphasise that perhaps England’s fortunes are turning, they held on to win against the host nation in a major tournament for the first time in six attempts since they beat Switzerland in the 1954 World Cup finals.

Ukraine had to beat England to stay in the tournament but, despite dominating possession for most of the first half, the co-hosts allowed their opponents back into the game after the break just as they had done against France on Friday.

POINT BLANK

They did go close to scoring in the second half though, first when Artem Milevskiy somehow missed a header from pointblank range and then when Devic’s shot was cleared off the line.

Despite the introduction of talismanic striker Andriy Shevchenko, who has called time on his international career, Ukraine could not score and joined co-hosts Poland on the sidelines with almost two weeks of the tournament left.

What Ukraine lacked was a player with the driving force and determination of England skipper Steven Gerrard who had at least as big a part in the win as Rooney, who took his England tally to 29 goals on his 75th appearance for his country. Gerrard, earning his 95th cap, set up Rooney’s goal with a cross that via two deflections bamboozled Ukraine’s defenders and goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov. England have scored five goals in the tournament so far and Gerrard has created three of them.

He is also playing with the kind of freedom and confidence that has been a feature of his game throughout his long career. With the debate about whether Gerrard can play in the same midfield as the absent and injured Frank Lampard seemingly over, he defended well, crafted openings and inspired England. Hodgson’s side are now playing more like a club team than the band of disparates England have often seemed in the past.

Coming into this tournament unfancied and with expectations at an all time low because the manager has only been in charge for six weeks, the weight is clearly off their backs.

They may not win this tournament but after their comeback win over Sweden and victory against Ukraine, no-one should bet against them.

Tuesday’s hosts have still never won in Donetsk after seven attempts - five at the Donbass Arena - and ended up second-bottom of the group. But they have little time to rebuild.

Ukraine meet England again in a World Cup qualifier in September and the outcome is likely to be much the same, whether the luck stays with Hodgson’s team or not.

INDONESIA Some parties fanning trouble in Papua Antara

JAKARTA - The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) suspects certain parties are bent on provoking conflicts in Papua.

“We call on the people not to be provoked by parties deliberately wanting to worsen the situation in Papua,” said Edi Saputra, a member of Kompolnas in charge of Papua`s police office, here Tuesday.

He urged Papuans to give the police and military a chance to restore order and improve security in the region.

“We are sure the National Police (Polri) and the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) have been working hard to restore peace in Papua.

Kompolnas is also sure the security officers are doing a good job, particularly the personnel at Papua`s police office,” Edi said.

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Djoko Suyanto, is currently on a

working visit to Jayapura, Papua to conduct meetings with local leaders and senior officials to ease tensions in the area.

The minister is being accompanied by chief of Indonesian Military (TNI), Admiral Agus Suhartono, National Police chief General Timur Pradopo and chief of National Intelligence Agency Marciano Norman.

Palm oil for India ‘destroying Indonesian forests’ Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Surging demand for palm oil in India for cooking and everyday grocery items is driving tropical forest destruction in Indonesia, Greenpeace said Tuesday.

In its report “Frying the Forest” the group called on Indians to boycott products by brands Britannia, ITC, Parle and Godrej, such as biscuits and soap, until the companies commit to sustainable palm oil supply chains.

“Palm oil plantations in Indonesia are expanding rapidly every year to meet India’s demands,” Greenpeace forest campaigner Mohammed Iqbal Abisaputra said in Jakarta.

“We are asking Indian consumers now to stop buying products made from unsustainable Indonesian palm oil.”

Booming India is the world’s hungriest nation for palm oil, consuming almost 7.4 million tonnes last year, or 15 percent of global production, almost all of it imported, US Foreign Agricultural Service data show.

Of that amount, 5.8 million tonnes is imported from Indonesian companies, many of which Greenpeace claims are illegally clearing carbonrich peatland.

One company targeted by the group is Duta Palma, which owns 155,000 hectares of palm oil plantations in Indonesia, the report says.

The company is deforesting peatland up to eight metres deep on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, the report says, despite a law banning

Greenpeace also claims fires continue to burn on peatland within the company’s concession, even though the slash-and-burn technique for forest clearance is illegal.

The report comes after a string of successful consumer-targeted Greenpeace campaigns, in which brands like Barbie-maker Mattel and food-maker Kraft dropped paper packaging contracts with Asia Pulp & Paper, who were accused of logging outside their concession area.

The focus on India marks a shift in Greenpeace’s strategy to consum-

ers in developing countries.

“Asian countries will be among the first to feel the effects of climate change, so we can no longer act as if it’s Europe or America’s problem,” Abisaputra said.

Indonesia has implemented a two-year moratorium on issuing new logging concessions on peatland and other high-conservation forest. But unsustainable logging continues within companies’ existing concessions.

Before the moratorium, 80 percent of Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions came from deforestation, UN data show, making it the world’s third-biggest emitter.

JAKARTA - Industry Minister MS Hidayat said the government has no plan to cut domestic car production to reduce traffic congestion in a number of big cities in the country.

“Although some parties have blamed motor-vehicles as the cause of traffic jams, the national automotive sector has been one of the drivers of economy growth in Indonesia,” he said at a seminar on automotive industry here on Tuesday.

He said the domestic automotive industry is projected to reach one million units next year. With strong buying power and easy access to consumer credits for middle-income and below earners he believed the domestic market would continue to grow.

“The government would not suppress automotive production and I have also conveyed to the President to continue to encourage production and exports to Asian, African, Latin American and Middle Eastern regions. Au-

tomotive industry is one of the prioritized sectors in the national industry policy,” he said.

He said the government`s strategy is developing full manufacturing including designing and engineering as well as producing components locally.

“Right now the average local content has reached 85 percent and efforts would be spurred to cover the rest 15 percent,” he said.

Hidayat said that the limited road infrastructure in the country has so far been the main cause of traffic jams so far while land clearance has been one of the obstacles hindering road development so far.

To overcome the problems, he said the government has issued Law Number 2 of 2012 on land acquisition for development for public interests.

He said in the near future the government would issue regulations relating to the law including a regulation for its implementation to speed up road development projects.

Aussie water polo team quarantined by whooping cough outbreak Reuters

MELBOURNE - A coach and several members of the Australian women’s water polo team have been diagnosed with whooping cough while in a training camp at the elite Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, forcing swimming chiefs to cancel a pre-Games warm-up meeting.

Whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial disease characterised by fits of violent coughing, can lead to brain damage and death in infants in severe cases, but adults generally only suffer flu-like symptoms. The AIS said a coach and two members of the Olympic water polo team had been diagnosed with whooping cough, while an Australian Olympic Committee official said up to five of the team had taken ill.

“The water polo team is in camp at the AIS and has been placed in isolation to mitigate the risk of infection for athletes, staff and the public,” the AIS said in a statement on its website (www.ausport.gov.au) on Saturday “All members and officials of the team have been tested.” A spokesperson for Australian Water Polo confirmed the cases, but declined to name the athletes affected.

The outbreak prompted Swimming Australia to scrap a planned training camp for the team’s Olympic relay swimmers and a Grand Prix meeting in Canberra this weekend as a precaution.

“We have spoken with the AIS and, whilst we are comfortable with the procedures they have put in place, we have decided to take this precaution,” Olympic swimming head coach Leigh Nugent said in a statement. “Originally we’d planned to have this camp as an opportunity to come together for some further relay preparation and the chance for some of the athletes to race and time trial, a month or so out from the Games,” said Nugent.

“From a relay perspective we are confident we’re on track with our preparations and will fine tune things when we get to Manchester in July.

“As for the racing side of things, I’m sure the individual coaches will arrange time trials if they see fit to replicate that preparation.”

A limping, grimacing James shook off left leg cramps to hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:51 remaining and the Miami Heat held off the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals that no team has ever blown.

“I was just trying to make a play,” James said. “If I was out on the floor, I wanted to try to make a play with the limited mobility I had at that time, and I was happy I was able to come through.” Game 5 is Thursday night and James will have a chance to finish a nine-year chase that started in Cleveland before he

famously -- or infamously -- left for South Florida before last season.

“Of course it’s there to think about,” said James, making it clear he plans to play. “I’ll be ready for Game 5.” With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matched Dwyane Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, missing a shot at a tripledouble only because he was on the bench at the end after thigh cramps emerged following a fall near the Thunder basket.

The Heat needed all James could give and more to hold off Russell

Westbrook. He scored 43 points for the Thunder, who wasted an early 17-point lead but were never out of the game because of their sensational point guard. Kevin Durant had 28 points but James Harden threw in another clunker, finishing with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting.

Westbrook and Durant were the only Thunder players to score in the last 16:46. “Shots were falling,” said Westbrook, who was 20 of 32.

“It really doesn’t mean nothing. We didn’t come out with the win.”

James stumbled to the court on a drive midway through the fourth quarter, staying on the offensive end of the floor as the Heat regained possession on a blocked shot, and he made a short jumper that made it 92-90. After Westbrook missed a jumper, the Heat called timeout as James gingerly went to the court.

US senators call for national boxing commission

Agence

The ripples from Timothy Bradley’s controversial split-decision victory over Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao spread as two US senators called for a national body to govern boxing.

Senator John McCain, a Republican from Arizona who boxed when he attended the US Naval Academy, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat and former middleweight boxer, introduced legislation that would create the United States Boxing Commission.

The body would be tasked with administering federal boxing law,

working with the industry and local commissions, and licensing boxers, promoters, managers and sanctioning organizations.

McCain, speaking on the Senate floor, said the outcome of the June 9 welterweight world title bout between Bradley and Pacquiao “is the latest example of the legitimate distrust boxing fans have for the integrity of the sport.”

Undefeated American Bradley won the controversial fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where the fight’s three judges were under pressure to explain their scoring, described by many experts as flawed.

Judge Jerry Roth gave Pacquiao the

fight 115-113, but the other judges, C.J. Ross and Duane Ford, both had Bradley winning by the same score, despite Pacquiao appearing to land the more damaging blows throughout the contest.

Longtime promoter Bob Arum, who handles both fighters, fumed over the result. “I’ve never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight,” Arum said in the immediate aftermath, adding he believed it was the result of incompetence rather than corruption.

According to McCain, professional boxing is the only sport in the United States not regulated by a strong, centralized association.

Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores

by France’s Philippe Mexes during the Euro 2012 soccer championship Group D match between Sweden and France in Kiev, Ukraine, Tuesday, June 19, 2012.

France through despite 2-0 loss to Sweden Reuters

KIEV, - Below-par France qualified for the Euro 2012 quarter-finals as Group D runners-up on Tuesday despite a superb Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike and a late Sebastian Larsson goal condemning them to a 2-0 defeat by Sweden. The French will play holders Spain in the last eight in Donetsk on Saturday with group winners England, who beat co-hosts Ukraine 1-0, facing Italy in Kiev on Sunday.

Ibrahimovic’s acrobatic volley from just inside the area, the striker swivelling to meet Larsson’s cross, put already-eliminated Sweden ahead on 54 minutes in what will

be a strong contender for goal of the tournament. It was Sweden’s first victory over the French since 1969 and France’s first defeat in 24 games.

“Sweden beat an average France team,” France coach Laurent Blanc told French television.

“They were better in all departments.” Already eliminated, the Swedes had clearly decided they were not going down without

a fight and they flew into challenges from the first whistle.

With the French through as long as Ukraine did not win, there was always the chance of a dull game but both sides played with commitment, pace and skill. Sweden forward Ola Toivonen had a great chance to open the scoring when Philippe Mexes botched a defensive header and let him run free in the French half.

Lloris came out quickly to force him wide and the Swedish striker’s effort grazed the outside of the post with the goal at his mercy. France looked slick in possession and alarm bells rang every time Franck Ribery ran at the Swedish defence. Several times he ghosted down the left wing to create openings that were wasted by his team mates.

Ribery, Hatem Ben Arfa, Karim Benzema and Samir Nasri all threatened with shots from distance but none troubled Andreas Isaksson unduly. Christian Wilhelmsson replaced Emir Bajrami at the break and immediately set about making a nuisance of himself for the

French defence.

Ibrahimovic brought the crowd to their feet in the 54th minute, finishing Larsson’s cross with a breathtaking scissor-kick. Yann Mvila did his best to get the French back on level terms with two fine efforts from outside the box, the first saved by Isaksson and the second clearing the crossbar.

Substitute Jeremy Menez could have equalised for France but his shot hit Isaksson’s legs. Sweden held on for victory but France will have a chance to regroup before facing the world champion Spaniards. Mexes will miss that clash after picking up a booking for a foul on Toivonen, his second of the tournament.

eight clash with Italy.

“What can I say? There are five referees on the pitch and the ball was half a metre over the line,” Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin, who remonstrated angrily with the fourth official at the time, told reporters. “Devic scored a goal and I don’t know why it wasn’t allowed.”

Ironically, it is the English FA which has been one of the strongest supporters of the introduction of goalline technology which is expected to be formally introduced by the International Football Association Board on July 5. Two years ago in South Africa England were denied a far clearer equalising goal against Germany when Frank Lampard’s shot crashed off the underside of the crossbar and bounced well over the line before being clawed out by Manuel Neuer. England, trailing 2-1, at the time, went on to lose the game 4-1 and were knocked out of the tournament.

World governing body FIFA has been trialling two different systems to help officials know whether a ball has crossed the line. England’s friendly against Belgium last month was one of the test matches for HawkEye, the system used in tennis, although it was not at the disposal of match officials. A similar system called GoalRef has also been trialled in two Danish league matches.

Shevchenko to retire from international football Reuters

DONETSK - Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko announced he will retire from international football after his country’s elimination from Euro 2012 with a 1-0 defeat by England on Tuesday. Shevchenko, the finest player Ukraine has produced since independence from the Soviet Union, told reporters he intends to says his farewell in a friendly game before standing down from national team duty.

“It was my last official game for Ukraine. A bit later on I will arrange a farewell game to say goodbye to supporters. “What are my plans now? I simply want to go home and put my arms around my kids and kiss my wife,” he said. The 35-year-old, who is his country’s youngest and oldest goalscorer and record marksman with 48 goals in 111 appearances, started on the bench against England due to a knee injury.

Former AC Milan and Chelsea forward Shevchenko

began the tournament in grand style with both goals in the co-hosts’s 2-1 comeback victory over Sweden. Shevchenko was European Footballer of the Year in 2004, the first and only Ukrainian to win the award, and was Ukrainian Footballer of the Year on six occasions.

The striker’s current deal with Dynamo Kiev, the club where he began his career before moving to Milan, is due to expire in July and he has expressed interest in a move to North America’s Major League Soccer. Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin said after the England defeat he was looking to younger players ahead of the qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil which starts in September.

Shevchenko said he was pleased that Ukraine had the talent to continue to progress in the international game after a tournament where they held their own for large stretches against France and England before losing to both.

“I hope our supporters are happy with our performance. I am glad for our young players who played well tonight. This team has a bright future,” he said.

Aussie water polo team quarantined by whooping cough outbreak Reuters

MELBOURNE - A coach and several members of the Australian women’s water polo team have been diagnosed with whooping cough while in a training camp at the elite Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, forcing swimming chiefs to cancel a pre-Games warm-up meeting.

Whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial disease characterised by fits of violent coughing, can lead to brain damage and death in infants in severe cases, but adults generally only suffer flu-like symptoms. The AIS said a coach and two members of the Olympic water polo team had been diagnosed with whooping cough, while an Australian Olympic Committee official said up to five of the team had taken ill.

“The water polo team is in camp at the AIS and has been placed in isolation to mitigate the risk of infection for athletes, staff and the public,” the AIS said in a statement on its website (www.ausport.gov.au) on Saturday “All members and officials of the team have been tested.” A spokesperson for Australian Water Polo confirmed the cases, but declined to name the athletes affected.

The outbreak prompted Swimming Australia to scrap a planned training camp for the team’s Olympic relay swimmers and a Grand Prix meeting in Canberra this weekend as a precaution.

“We have spoken with the AIS and, whilst we are comfortable with the procedures they have put in place, we have decided to take this precaution,” Olympic swimming head coach Leigh Nugent said in a statement. “Originally we’d planned to have this camp as an opportunity to come together for some further relay preparation and the chance for some of the athletes to race and time trial, a month or so out from the Games,” said Nugent.

A limping, grimacing James shook off left leg cramps to hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:51 remaining and the Miami Heat held off the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals that no team has ever blown.

“I was just trying to make a play,” James said. “If I was out on the floor, I wanted to try to make a play with the limited mobility I had at that time, and I was happy I was able to come through.” Game 5 is Thursday night and James will have a chance to finish a nine-year chase that started in Cleveland before he

“Of course it’s there to think about,” said James, making it clear he plans to play. “I’ll be ready for Game 5.” With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matched Dwyane Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, missing a shot at a tripledouble only because he was on the bench at the end after thigh cramps emerged following a fall near the Thunder basket.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, pictured in February 2012, has requested political asylum from Ecuador and is holed up at its embassy in London while Quito examines the request, officials said.

WikiLeaks founder Assange seeks Ecuador asylum Agence France Presse

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walked into Ecuador’s embassy in London and applied for political asylum in a sensational bid to avoid extradition to Sweden over alleged sex crimes.

The former computer hacker, who last week exhausted all his legal options in Britain to fight extradition, was holed up at the embassy in central London while Quito examined the request, officials said.

Britain’s Foreign Office said Assange was “beyond the reach of the police” because he was on diplomatic territory, but stressed it would seek to work with the Ecuadorian authorities “to resolve this situation as soon as possible.”

Assange will remain at the embassy under the protection of the Ecuadorian government while his application is considered.

“The decision to consider Mr Assange’s application for protective asylum should in no way be interpreted as the Government of Ecuador interfering in the judicial processes of either the United Kingdom or Sweden,” the embassy said in a statement.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Tuesday that Australia will continue to offer consular assistance to Assange.

support Mr. Assange just as we do support any Australian overseas who faces legal difficulties or dilemmas,” Gillard told reporters after a Group of 20 summit in Mexico.

Assange confirmed in a statement he was seeking “diplomatic sanctuary and political asylum” and expressed his gratitude to the Ecuadorian ambassador and government for considering the request.

In Quito, Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said: “Julian Assange has requested political asylum at the diplomatic mission of Ecuador in London.

“The government is examining the request.”

The embassy later confirmed it would be seeking the views of Britain, Sweden and the United States in order to make sure it complied with international law.

Assange has always maintained that the moves to extradite him to Sweden for questioning over allegations of rape and sexual assault are politically motivated and that the real aim is for him

to be handed over to the US authorities.

The silver-haired 40-year-old Australian’s website enraged Washington by releasing a flood of classified US information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It also published more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables, revealing often candid assessments of a huge range of issues as well as the views of other governments.

Ecuador offered Assange residency in 2010, with the government saying at the time it wanted to invite Assange to speak in Ecuador after expressing concern about some of the alleged US activities revealed by WikiLeaks.

Assange interviewed Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa for his talk show aired on the Russian international television station RT in April.

The embassy is in the upmarket west London district of Knightsbridge, near to Harrods department store and in the same mansion block as the Colombian embassy.

That effort in South Africa definitely did go over the line although it was inexplicably missed by the referee and linesmen.

England coach Roy Hodgson said Devic’s shot on Tuesday had probably crossed the line but told reporters it was about time England’s luck turned after they also had a ‘goal’ harshly disallowed against hosts Portugal in Euro 2004.

“We’ve suffered with bad luck in the past, against Portugal and Germany, maybe it was a case of if there was going to be luck, we were going to get it.” As if to emphasise that perhaps England’s fortunes are turning, they held on to win against the host nation in a major tournament for the first time in six attempts since they beat Switzerland in the 1954 World Cup finals.

Ukraine had to beat England to stay in the tournament but, despite dominating possession for most of the first half, the co-hosts allowed their opponents back into the game after the break just as they had done against France on Friday.

POINT BLANK

They did go close to scoring in the second half though, first when Artem Milevskiy somehow missed a header from pointblank range and then when Devic’s shot was cleared off the line.

Despite the introduction of talismanic striker Andriy Shevchenko, who has called time on his international career, Ukraine could not score and joined co-hosts Poland on the sidelines with almost two weeks of the tournament left.

What Ukraine lacked was a player with the driving force and determination of England skipper Steven Gerrard who had at least as big a part in the win as Rooney, who took his England tally to 29 goals on his 75th appearance for his country. Gerrard, earning his 95th cap, set up Rooney’s goal with a cross that via two deflections bamboozled Ukraine’s defenders and goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov. England have scored five goals in the tournament so far and Gerrard has created three of them.

He is also playing with the kind of freedom and confidence that has been a feature of his game throughout his long career. With the debate about whether Gerrard can play in the same midfield as the absent and injured Frank Lampard seemingly over, he defended well, crafted openings and inspired England. Hodgson’s side are now playing more like a club team than the band of disparates England have often seemed in the past.

Coming into this tournament unfancied and with expectations at an all time low because the manager has only been in charge for six weeks, the weight is clearly off their backs.

They may not win this tournament but after their comeback win over Sweden and victory against Ukraine, no-one should bet against them.

Tuesday’s hosts have still never won in Donetsk after seven attempts - five at the Donbass Arena - and ended up second-bottom of the group. But they have little time to rebuild.

Ukraine meet England again in a World Cup qualifier in September and the outcome is likely to be much the same, whether the luck stays with Hodgson’s team or not.

INDONESIA Some parties fanning trouble in Papua Antara

JAKARTA - The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) suspects certain parties are bent on provoking conflicts in Papua.

“We call on the people not to be provoked by parties deliberately wanting to worsen the situation in Papua,” said Edi Saputra, a member of Kompolnas in charge of Papua`s police office, here Tuesday.

He urged Papuans to give the police and military a chance to restore order and improve security in the region.

“We are sure the National Police (Polri) and the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) have been working hard to restore peace in Papua.

Kompolnas is also sure the security officers are doing a good job, particularly the personnel at Papua`s police office,” Edi said.

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Djoko Suyanto, is currently on a

working visit to Jayapura, Papua to conduct meetings with local leaders and senior officials to ease tensions in the area.

The minister is being accompanied by chief of Indonesian Military (TNI), Admiral Agus Suhartono, National Police chief General Timur Pradopo and chief of National Intelligence Agency Marciano Norman.

Palm oil for India ‘destroying Indonesian forests’ Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Surging demand for palm oil in India for cooking and everyday grocery items is driving tropical forest destruction in Indonesia, Greenpeace said Tuesday.

In its report “Frying the Forest” the group called on Indians to boycott products by brands Britannia, ITC, Parle and Godrej, such as biscuits and soap, until the companies commit to sustainable palm oil supply chains.

“Palm oil plantations in Indonesia are expanding rapidly every year to meet India’s demands,” Greenpeace forest campaigner Mohammed Iqbal Abisaputra said in Jakarta.

“We are asking Indian consumers now to stop buying products made from unsustainable Indonesian palm oil.”

Booming India is the world’s hungriest nation for palm oil, consuming almost 7.4 million tonnes last year, or 15 percent of global production, almost all of it imported, US Foreign Agricultural Service data show.

Of that amount, 5.8 million tonnes is imported from Indonesian companies, many of which Greenpeace claims are illegally clearing carbonrich peatland.

One company targeted by the group is Duta Palma, which owns 155,000 hectares of palm oil plantations in Indonesia, the report says.

The company is deforesting peatland up to eight metres deep on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, the report says, despite a law banning

Trucks and other smaller vehicles create a long traffic jam in Jakarta on June 19, 2012 next to an underconstruction fly over as an access to and from containers terminal. Industry Minister MS Hidayat said the government has no plan to cut domestic car production to reduce traffic congestion in a number of big cities in the country.

Greenpeace also claims fires continue to burn on peatland within the company’s concession, even though the slash-and-burn technique for forest clearance is illegal.

The report comes after a string of successful consumer-targeted Greenpeace campaigns, in which brands like Barbie-maker Mattel and food-maker Kraft dropped paper packaging contracts with Asia Pulp & Paper, who were accused of logging outside their concession area.

The focus on India marks a shift in Greenpeace’s strategy to consum-

ers in developing countries.

“Asian countries will be among the first to feel the effects of climate change, so we can no longer act as if it’s Europe or America’s problem,” Abisaputra said.

Indonesia has implemented a two-year moratorium on issuing new logging concessions on peatland and other high-conservation forest. But unsustainable logging continues within companies’ existing concessions.

Before the moratorium, 80 percent of Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions came from deforestation, UN data show, making it the world’s third-biggest emitter.

JAKARTA - Industry Minister MS Hidayat said the government has no plan to cut domestic car production to reduce traffic congestion in a number of big cities in the country.

“Although some parties have blamed motor-vehicles as the cause of traffic jams, the national automotive sector has been one of the drivers of economy growth in Indonesia,” he said at a seminar on automotive industry here on Tuesday.

He said the domestic automotive industry is projected to reach one million units next year. With strong buying power and easy access to consumer credits for middle-income and below earners he believed the domestic market would continue to grow.

“The government would not suppress automotive production and I have also conveyed to the President to continue to encourage production and exports to Asian, African, Latin American and Middle Eastern regions. Au-

tomotive industry is one of the prioritized sectors in the national industry policy,” he said.

He said the government`s strategy is developing full manufacturing including designing and engineering as well as producing components locally.

“Right now the average local content has reached 85 percent and efforts would be spurred to cover the rest 15 percent,” he said.

Hidayat said that the limited road infrastructure in the country has so far been the main cause of traffic jams so far while land clearance has been one of the obstacles hindering road development so far.

To overcome the problems, he said the government has issued Law Number 2 of 2012 on land acquisition for development for public interests.

He said in the near future the government would issue regulations relating to the law including a regulation for its implementation to speed up road development projects.

G20 backs Europe’s overhaul to fight crisis Reuters

LOS CABOS - Europe won support from world leaders on Tuesday for an ambitious but slow-moving overhaul of the euro zone, even as pressure built in financial markets for quicker solutions to its debt crisis that threatens the world economy.

AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA

A sign left outside the offices of JPMorgan Chase & Co. after supporters of a proposed “Robin Hood Tax” on investment transactions demonstrated June 19, 2012 on Park Avenue in New York. The proposal calls for a small tax on every financial trade that would raise money for public services.

Europe told a Group of 20 summit it intends to work on concrete steps to integrate its banking sectors, a major step long pressed by the United States and other nations to break the cycle of debt-laden countries bailing out their troubled banks which only pushes governments ever deeper into debt.

U.S. President Barack Obama said the sense of urgency amongst European leaders was clear and they knew what steps were needed to “break the fever” of an escalating debt crisis.

“None of them are going to be a silver bullet that solves this thing entirely ... in the next week or two weeks or two months, but each step points to the fact that Europe is moving towards further integration rather than break-up,” Obama told reporters at the end of the two-day summit in a Pacific resort.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said a strengthened framework for a euro-wide fiscal and banking union to underpin the common currency would help restore Europe’s economic growth and lower painfully high borrowing costs for indebted countries.

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde hailed the progress saying “the seeds of a pan-European recovery plan were planted.”

“It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time, it has got to be done well,” she said, adding that immediate measures and longerterm ones must be pursued in parallel.

G20 leaders now await a European

Union summit next week where European officials say they will launch the long process of deeper integration, starting with a push for banking union, with an aim of finalizing a broad plan

by December. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a critic of Europe’s progress to date, said it was now getting to the root of its debt crisis.

“What will be important, what we’ll be watching for next week and going forward will be the concerted, coordinated action that will actually make these things happen,” Harper said.

Financial markets have yet to be convinced about the chances of agreement. Germany has resisted taking on euro-wide financial risks if its citizens have to foot too much of the bill, while others, such as France and Italy, want to move more quickly. Although the danger of Greece crashing out of the euro zone eased after weekend elections, risks are mounting that Spain, the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy, will need a full-blown international rescue as its longer-term debt yields hover above 7 percent, a level that has forced other euro countries to seek bailouts.

The tensions over the world economy and the round-the-clock discussions contrasted with the laid-back atmosphere of Los Cabos, a beach resort at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California.

The summit declaration was drafted at a hotel next to the adults-only, clothesoptional Desire Resort And Spa.

Greece in reach of coalition deal to revise bailout

ATHENS - Greece on Wednesday was close to forming a coalition that will try to revise an unpopular EUIMF bailout deal and pull the country out of a harrowing recession that has doomed its recovery efforts.

After two months of political deadlock, the struggling eurozone member is under intense international pressure to get back on track with reforms promised for a bailout that has kept the economy on life support for the past two years.

The International Monetary Fund is already pressing to send a team of experts to Greece as soon as the new government is announced, with conservative New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras poised to

become the new prime minister.

New Democracy narrowly won Sunday’s elections against the the radical leftist anti-austerity Syriza and is set to form a coalition with the socialists Pasok which will also be supported in parliament by the small Democratic Left party.

Samaras was to meet with Pasok leader Evangelos Venizelos at 0900 GMT and then Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis after that, New Democracy said.

The liberal Kathimerini daily said on Wednesday: “The coalition government agreement is being finalised,” while the centre-left newspaper Ta Nea said: “They are trying to solve the crossword puzzle of the new government.”

Venizelos said following a round

of talks on Tuesday that a coalition agreement was possible “by midday tomorrow” -- just hours before a three-day deadline for conservative New Democracy to form a coalition runs out.

New Democracy took 129 of the 300 parliamentary seats including an extra 50 seats given to the winner and Syriza took 71 seats after garnering more than a quarter of the vote in a country struggling with its fifth year of recession.

Pasok took 33 seats and Democratic Left won 17 seats, which would give the expected new government a majority of 29 seats to pass controversial reforms.

Officials from the three parties were set to meet at 1000 GMT to hammer out a common policy

statement after initial discussions on Tuesday lasting six hours.

The government’s first priority will be to restore contact with international auditors and resume the flow of loans that was suspended ahead of the election.

Foreign creditors like Germany have stressed that they are willing to give Greece more time to meet a deficit reduction target currently set at 2014 but will not change the actual substance of the bailout deal agreed in February.

Under the current conditions, Greece has to cut 11.5 billion euros -- the equivalent of five percent of its gross domestic product -- by 2014, although Greek parties have called for this deadline to be put off to 2016.

Greece has been forced to seek

bailouts twice after initially hiding its debt woes, first for 110 billion euros in 2010 and then for 130 billion euros earlier this year. It has also had a 107billion-euro private debt write-off.

Greece has stepped up shortterm debt auctions to restock its depleted treasury as before the elections officials cited in the Greek press warned there were only enough cash reserves to pay salaries and pensions until July 20. And its banks are in pretty poor shape despite a recapitalisation effort.

The eurozone is hoping the result can draw a line under a lengthy period of uncertainty that has unsettled markets in a country where the European sovereign debt crisis kicked off in 2009 before spreading across the continent.

TUBAN - To celebrate World Oceans day 2012 and mark the inaugural world ‘Coral Triangle’ day on the 8th of June, Surfer Girl was delighted to organize a beach clean up at Jerman Beach, Tuban, Bali.

In line with ‘The Happiest Girls Brand in the World’s’ mission statement ‘To make a positive difference through all that we do’ Surfer Girl participates and organizes beach clean ups on a regular basis as part of the companies CSR ‘Care Share Respect’ and Green Practices programs.

For World Oceans Day the Surfer Girl family was excited to mark the date with the largest beach clean up organized by the company for the year so far.

World Oceans Day this year was connected with the worlds first international Coral Triangle Day, celebrated in several locations around the Coral Triangle region on June 9, 2012. The purpose of Coral Triangle day is to highlight the importance of marine conservation and to raise awareness on this global center of marine biodiversity.

The Coral Triangle is a six million square-kilometer ocean expanse that contains the highest number of reef building corals on the planet. It spans across six countries in Asia and the Pacific including Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. Its spectacular coral reefs systems host thousands of whales, dolphins, rays, sharks, and six of the world’s seven species of marine turtles. More than 120 million people heavily depended on the region’s marine resources for food and income.

Ni Made Rusmawati, General Manager of Surfer Girl Indonesia, said they are very proud that as a

positive brand, Surfer Girl is always consistent in doing real efforts to preserve the environment especially the beaches in Bali, being the home of Summer the Surfer Girl and I can’t think of a more appropriate way for the Surfer Girl family to celebrate World Oceans day.

The afternoon kicked off with over 70 excited members of the Surfer Girl team, along with Surfer Girl CSR partners from SLB Jimbaran, Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak, Bali Life Foundation and WWF gathering at the beach ready to do their part to mark the international

date. As everyone set about enthusiastically cleaning the beach to make sure every piece of rubbish was gathered ready to be collected

by Eco Bali for recycling some of the talented students from SLB Jimbaran kept the atmosphere lively with their Jimbe traditional music

performance.

Once the beach clean up came to an end the event was closed with an additional touch of fun from the Surfer Girl team themselves as they put on the first of the annual Surfer Girl internal talent shows of the year.

2015, tourism workers and employers required to have certification Bali Post

DENPASAR - Facing the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, companies and workers in the tourism sector must have certification.

At that time, the entire workforce in ASEAN countries would be free to work anywhere within the ASEAN. Currently the ASEAN has signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) opening the job opportunity in 11 sectors including tourism.

Inspector General of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Putu Laksaguna, said that for workers, the certification was just like a driving license that notified one’s

capability. “Certification recognizes the professional competence like the existing certification valid for professionals in financial sector,” said Putu Laksaguna in Denpasar.

He said the Law No. 10/2009 concerning with tourism mandated that workers in the tourism sector should have competency standards through certification. Such certification was highly required in dealing with the national and international competition.

“Development of tourism sector should be followed by the standard of businesses in tourism evidenced by certification of the existing business. The law states that any

products, services and management of tourism enterprises should have a standard of business,” he said. He also mentioned the human resources certification and business certification in tourism field would set the standards and certification in tourism ranging from hotel, restaurant, and travel service up to MICE. Such standards and certification consisted of two kinds, namely the certification intended for workers and business organization.

“As a matter of fact, certification and competency test for tourism workers has been running for long time in accordance with the National Work Competence Stan-

dards of Indonesia. However, it is voluntary, but this rule will require it,” he said.

Explained, the government of the RI had prepared a regulation No. 52/2012 on the certification of competency and certification of tourism businesses. One of the rules clearly stated that tourism entrepreneurs had to employ the labor that had got certification of competence both expatriate and local tourism workforce.

“Existence of the certificate of competency can have an impact on the determination of wage system for tourism workforce. Now, it will greatly depend on the owners of

tourism business in Bali whether they appreciate the certified tourism labor,” he explained.

The government hoped the increase in the quality of tourism labor through certification could have an impact on the increase in the income of Bali tourism labor in the future. Government Regulation No.52/2012 disseminated from 2012 would be optimally taken effect in 2014. For preparation of the law implementation in years to come, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy was preparing the implementing legislation so that it could be applied in society. (kmb27)

Feared, rhodamine used in oblation pastries Denpasar (Bali Post)—

Prohibition regarding the use of hazardous dyes on food intensively conducted by the Regional Agency of Drug and Food Control (BBPOM) to cottage industry seems difficult to be implemented immediately.

Evidently, the use of dyes like rhodamine is not only found in fresh cakes and school children snacks, but also in oblation pastry used in ritual. Moreover, the Hindu society in Bali is currently preoccupied with religious ceremonies which surely require oblation pastries.

The Test Division Head of BBPOM Bali, I Wayan Eka Ratnata, said in the field there were a lot of cottage industries ignoring the appeal to no longer sell food containing hazardous dye. Indeed,

attractive colors were expected to draw people to buy.

“There is possibility if many oblation pastries offered in the market still contain rhodamine. Rhodamine is generally used for red textile dyeing,”

he said. The use of rhodamine was alleged to happen to oblation pastries such as begina, jaja uli, steamed muffin and some others. Probably, the use of such textile dyeing was carried out intentionally, or happened due to ignorance of the community.

“Indeed, it is hard to make the traders aware if they have been accustomed to using food additives.

They argued the products sold were favored by consumers,” he said.

Even, based on the research made so far, in fact it was found the content of rhodamine B, especially the red and pink, in the oblation pastries

like begina, jaja uli, steamed muffin and sun cake. Eka added that so far the socialization of health hazard of rhodamine B had been more frequently organized. Rhodamine B was a synthetic dye in the form of powder usually used for paint industry, textile and paper. Its crystal powder was odorless and purplish red, while it would be florescent bright red when in the form of solution.

“Based on the findings so far, rhodamine B substance was frequently abused for food and cosmetic dyes.

This substance can cause irritation to respiratory tract. Aside from

rhodamine B, the other hazardous substances like yellow methanol are also often misused,” he explained.

According to him, the ubiquitous use of rhodamine B did not get serious attention because the hazardous effect of such food additive did not work in short period. People did not believe and care about the guidance provided by BBPOM because the perpetrators only featured profit orientation. “On that account, the people’s mindset should be changed to no longer purchase food with attractive color, chewy texture and low price,” he said.

After three weeks escaped, captured at Lombok Semarapura, DenPost

The adventure of Ahmad Jayadi (31) escaping from Klungkung Jail three weeks ago ended as he was captured at his origin at Kampung Loang Landik, South Masbagi, East Lombok last Tuesday (19/6) as confirmed by Head of Klungkung Police GAPC Tri Wahyudi. He has been a specialist in robbing empty houses and connecting to the capture there hasn’t been a further explanation stated only just he has ordered his officers to bring accused to the Headquarters. “We want to know how he escaped,” Wahyudi stated.

It is still unknown as well if an officer is involved in his escape and he doesn’t want to take conclusion straight away. For sure if there are, there will be consequences moreover accused escape was very suspicious and easy which it needs real evidences. It was known that the shot accused manage to escape while cleaning the jail area from wild grasses specifically at Teratai Street, south area to the Jail. Jayadi was picking grasses with other four prisoners around 10 am local time three weeks ago were actually supervised by two workers including Head of Security, Ais. Jayadi has been convicted after

robbing in seven places with method disguising as a State Electricity Company (PLN) worker. This robber who has two wives was known to be an elite robber as all the gold jewelries he managed to rob was sold successfully then spent on pick up car, fitness equipments, TV and more. Besides in Klungkung, he also was twice jailed at West Nusa Tenggara year 2001 and 2004 and a Search List People/Wanted People for 18 times robbery in Lombok itself. Yet he was captured in Klungkung instead when acting as a PLN worker and shot during his escape to Lombok to develop his acts. (119)

The pair came face to face at the meeting of the world’s major economies in Mexico, at a time when tensions between their countries were already running high just after the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War. Cameron urged Kirchner to respect the will of the 3,000 residents on the South Atlantic islands, who want to remain British. Kirchner countered him by citing UN resolutions calling for sovereignty negotiations.

“The president had the UN reso-

lutions and she said to Cameron: ‘Let’s respect the United Nations’,” Argentina’s Foreign Minister Hector Timmerman said.

“The prime minister refused to accept the documents, turned his back and walked away without a farewell,” he added, accusing Britain of disrespecting UN resolutions and of retaining a colonialist mindset.

A Downing Street source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that there had been an exchange, but downplayed the claim that Cameron had refused to

accept a packet of documents from Kirchner.

Cameron had sought to urge Kirchner to respect the right of the Falklands’ current residents to decide their own future in a referendum, the source said. “He took it up to her to make those points.

She took that badly and that was basically it,” she said.

“I don’t think it was actually totally clear that she was trying to give him documents.... We’re following up with Argentinian officials here to see if there are any documents they want to give us.”

In 1982 Argentina’s former military regime invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands, which are known as the Malvinas in Spanish.

US President Barack Obama on Tuesday lobbied President Hu Jintao of China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, on efforts to end the bloodshed in Syria.

China and Russia have frustrated the United States by blocking stronger UN sanctions and action against President Bashar al-Assad, and Obama has partly used the G20 summit in Mexico to push for a change in attitude.

Obama told reporters at the start of the talks in the Mexican resort of Los Cabos that he wanted to discuss with Hu ways “that can end the bloodshed and arrive at the kind of legitimate government that I think we all hope for.”

On Monday, the US leader had spent a third of a two-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin dealing with Syria, and the leaders agreed a political transition is needed in the country but failed to come up with an immediate plan.

Both Russia and China said earlier this month that they would coordinate in backing the peace plan for Syria framed by UN envoy Kofi Annan, despite its failure to

halt a brutal crackdown on opposition forces and civilians.

The two nations supported the UN Security Council move to strongly condemn the Syrian government for using artillery in a massacre in the central town of Houla in which at least 108 people were killed.

But they have vetoed two UN Security Council resolutions highly critical of Assad’s regime and they oppose any military intervention in Syria or efforts to enforce regime change.

Obama, who last met Hu on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in Seoul in March, said he also wanted to discuss “Iran, North Korea and the challenges of curbing nuclear proliferation.”

Hu, speaking through a translator, mentioned that Tuesday’s encounter was the 12th between the two leaders and said the two sides had made “made new progress in the cooperative partnership with the United States.”

Obama’s talks with Hu were politically sensitive, given that they took place less than five months before the US election, as his Republican foe Mitt Romney accuses him of not standing up to Beijing on economic clashes.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, pictured in April 2012, has been disqualified from holding office by the country’s top court.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari hoped Wednesday to nominate a new prime minister following a night of crisis talks after the Supreme Court disqualified Yousuf Raza Gilani for contempt.

The move could ease uncertainty in a country that is increasingly trying US patience over Al-Qaedalinked havens, struggling with a Taliban insurgency and heading deeper towards a financial crisis that could force it back to the IMF.

80 percent of modern stores in Bali commit fraud

Eighty percent of 300 units of minimarkets and supermarkets in Bali monitored by the Consumer Protection Agency (LPK) of Bali are proved to still commit fraud. By all means, such action violates the Consumer Protection Law article 4 where one of the stipulations mentions that consumers are entitled to get correct, clear and honest information. It is definitely very detrimental to consumers.

“The results of our monitoring in a number of minimarkets and supermarkets scattered in Bali, 80 percent are proved to have violated the consumer protection law,” said Putu Armaya, Director of LPK Bali, in Denpasar, Tuesday (Jun 19).

He complained about the ubiquitous modern stores such as supermarkets and minimarkets committing fraud actions. One of them was not updating the price of goods on display.

“Let’s say, the price of a product on display is written IDR 10,000. But, at the checkout consumer must pay at IDR11, 000. Clearly, it is detrimental to consumers,” he said. Not only cheating on the price alone, he also saw that a number of minimarkets and supermarkets sometimes still displayed expired products. Related to the matter, Armaya reminded that community should become a smart buyer. “When purchasing a product, we want people first examine the goods to be purchased,” he advised.

As savvy consumers, he urged to pay a great attention to the product, especially about the expiry date, and see the package of the product more carefully. By observing the expiry date and physical appearance of products, the buyer could determine the quality of products purchased. When encountering any expired items, consumers were entitled to notify the owner of the store or supermarket. “Public are also entitled to report this to relevant agencies,” he said.

Related to the offense, he insisted that business people could be imposed with quite severe sanctions namely criminal penalties of 5 years and a fine worth IDR 2 billion.

“Despite the sanctions imposed in the Law of Consumer Protection are very severe, in fact so far there is no deterrent effect to ‘mischievous’ business people. Moreover, many consumers in Bali are not critical,” he said.

In response to such findings, the LPK Bali would have a meeting with the existing stakeholders and report the findings to relevant agencies, in this regard the Industry and Trade Agency. (kmb28)

Ahmed Mukhtar, until recently defence minister and now minister for water and power, is thought to be the most likely candidate, favoured for his experience and unflinching loyalty to President Asif Ali Zardari.

The word “monsoon” may conjure up images of a relentless downpour pelting some exotic locale, but the fabled rainy season comes every year to the United States, and may make its annual debut this coming weekend. And a monsoon doesn’t just mean rain.

“Surprisingly, the real definition of a monsoon is basically a seasonal shift in the wind. That happens in various parts of the world, and we have ours in the southwestern parts of the U.S.,” said Stan Czyzyk, a meteorologist at the Las Vegas office of the National Weather Service, which has forecast that thunderstorms and heavy rain may hit northern Arizona beginning on Saturday.

“A monsoon is a regional circula-

tion pattern in the atmosphere that brings humidity or moisture into areas that otherwise are quite dry — desert areas — and helps foster large thunderstorms,” said David Gochis, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

Monsoons happen in the summer months, and largely affect subtropical areas, Gochis told OurAmazingPlanet. Large-scale shifts in wind direction bring massive, near-daily thunderstorms to regions that are dry seven or eight months of the year, Gochis said.

“In the Southwest, what that means is the winds shift from largely westerly to southerly, and bring moisture up from the tropics,” Gochis said.

BAF becomes Magelang Festival’s inspiration Antara

DENPASAR - Head of Tourism and Culture Department in Magelang Regency, Central Java, Dian Setia Darma said that Bali Art Festival (BAF) will become the inspiration for Magelang Festival that held once a year.

“In Magelang, we holding a festival and cultural carnival during the anniversary of Magelang.

Next year, we’ll plan to hold Borobudur Night Creative that will adopt BAF’s concept,” Dian said on Wednesday.

According to Dian, BAF is very important to preserve art and culture, also promoting culture that each regency have. Dian said Magelang would like to take BAF

PARIS — It may be the Renaissance equivalent of a royal flush. A hairpin belonging to 16th century French Queen Catherine de Medici has been discovered at a royal residence outside Paris. What has conservators scratching their heads is exactly where it was found: down a communal toilet. it bore interlocking C’s — for “Catherine.”

After the age-old soil was c l e a n e d o ff , F o n t a i n e b l e a u Palace’s conservator Vincent Droguet also noted a finish of white and green, known to be Catherine’s colors.

Less easy for the experts, however, was to explain why the personal possession of a queen known for luxury would end up

in a Renaissance-era communal toilet — as opposed to her royal one. The artifact was found by accident as archeologists dug around the toilet to prepare the surrounding area for restoration. Droguet called the find a “mystery.”

“But what would Catherine de Medici be doing there? Maybe it was a lady-in-waiting who took it. Perhaps it was stolen, and just fell in.”

Night work may boost women’s breast cancer risk: study

Officials said it’s the first time in modern history that a possession of the Renaissance royal has been found at Fontainebleau Palace.

Though the queen was renowned across Europe for her lavish jewelry, much of her collection has been lost, sold or stolen over the centuries. The rare 9 centimeter- (3.5 inch-) pin was identified easily because

Night work may increase a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer by 30 percent -- a slightly elevated but “statistically significant” risk, French researchers said Tuesday. This placed night work in the same order of risk as factors like genetic mutation, a late first pregnancy or hormonal treatment, Pascal Guenel, director of French health research body INSERM, told AFP. Put into context, a smoker was eight times as likely to contract lung cancer as a woman working night shifts was to get breast cancer, he explained. About 1,3 million women around the world are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

In a study published in the In-

ternational Journal of Cancer, the INSERM-led team said an association between night work with breast cancer “was mainly observed in women working during overnight shifts, those who worked at night for 4.5 or more years and less than three nights per week on average.

“The association was stronger in women who worked at night before their first full-term pregnancy than in women who started working at night later in life.” The scientists said more study was needed to determine the reasons.

Hypotheses include disruption of “body clock” genes, internal desynchronisation and sleep deprivation altering the immune system. The study was conducted in France among 1,232 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2005 and 2007.

Bali News Bali Post news is not fake

that has objection on the news.

This is suitable with the press law number 40/1999. He also added that the reporters must obey the journalistic code.

What about the case of the governor against Bali Post. Armada explained that the Press Council has taken decision that the news in Bali Post is not false news but Bali Post also made a mistake not confirming with the source. So for that reason, Bali Post should give the answering right to the governor.

This must be done by the governor before continuing to the next step such as going into court. Meanwhile, the lawyer of the governor was mostly asking about the absence of the reporter on the scene. (kmb)

Again, an illegal supermarket operates in Denpasar Denpasar (Bali Post)—

Giant Mart (GM) Supermarket located on Jalan Ahmad Yani Utara, Peguyangan, North Denpasar, is alleged to have no permit. The Head of Denpasar Licensing Office, AA Rai Soryawan, said the GM so far was in the consultation stage of permit application. Nevertheless, the Licensing Office would not perform any policing.

“Since it was about to submit the permit we have to encourage. Except, it has been in operation but not submitted the permit,” said Soryawan, Tuesday (Jun 19).

Related to proliferation of modern stores in the capital of Bali Province, this official from Gianyar argued that supermarket was not the same as minimarket whose existence had been restricted.

“At the moment, the existence of supermarket has not been restricted, while the minimarket has been restricted to 295 units of store pursuant to the Mayoral Decree,” he explained.

When asked whether it would not become a bad precedent for other investors who submitted permit to build a new store later on and claimed to enforce the law indecisively, Soryawan only sighed. “If anybody would say so (indecisive— Ed), I will submit to my fate. To be sure, I have a duty to participate in generating more regionally generated revenues (PAD). As long as based on study the stores are profitable and do not infringe the laws, so what’s wrong?” he asked.

Meanwhile, based on observation in the field, the business located just 100 meters north of the office of the North Denpasar Subdistrict Head was in the condition of 99 percent ready to go. Parking lots, shopping rack and automated teller machine (ATM) in the store owned by PT Hero Tbk had been ready. As seen, three women inside the store were cleaning up the room. Unfortunately, those employees preferred to move away when approached by media crews. (kmb27)

This is because the source of information is a credible source.

This is allowed even there is no reporter on the scene during it happens. Wina Armada Sukardi, the witness from press council explained that false news is the news made by the reporter which is completely different with fact.

According to the journalistic code, false or lie is the reporter already knew the fact but he or she didn’t write it according to the real fact. What if the reporter is not on the scene but he gets it from the one who is in the scene or credible source, can it be false news, asked Bali Post lawyer Suryatin Lijaya.

The sand which is collected illegaly on Pebuahan hamlet, Banyubiru village, Jembrana

Used for pond need

Dredging of sea sand at Pebuahan discontinued Negara (Bali Post)—

Dredging of sea sand on the beach verge of Pebuahan hamlet, Banyubiru village, Negara subdistrict was discontinued by the public order officer (Satpol PP) of Jembrana, Tuesday (Jun 19). Having been traced, hundreds of cubic meters of such sea sand on private property were about to be used for the material mixture of pond established by investors.

I Wayan Sudana, the landowner living at Ketugtug, Loloan Timur village, Negara, met at the site confirmed to have dredged the sea sand, but not for commercial use. The land area spreading across 3 hectares was going to be used for traditional pond. Incidentally the land was located adjacent to the beach and having sea sandy land. Meanwhile, the 10 hectares of land located next to his land was contracted for pond by investor from Surabaya.

“Incidentally they need a mixture of sea sand for foundation of pond. I myself also want to make a pond here.

Since this is my own land, so I think it natural for me to take advantage of it,” he explained.

He admitted the dredging activity had taken place since last week by using the excavator working in the pond project nearby. Afterward, the sea sand was transported by investor to location of pond construction site by four-wheeled truck. Based on observation on site last Tuesday, the excavator had been moved, but the sand dune of more than three meters high was still on site. Besides, the excavation activities left a pit along

over 200 meters with the depth of two meters.

A debate once occurred between the public order officers and landowner who insisted that his activity did not break any law. However, having been given detailed explanation regarding to coastal borderline and quarrying C, the landowner ultimately complied with the rule.

Section Head of the Jembrana Civilian Security Guard of Satpol PP, Nyoman Gede Suda Asmara, said though the dredging was carried out on private certified land, the owner did not ask permission to perform the quarrying.

Similarly, the dredging by means of heavy equipment should have recommendation from the local Transport Agency forwarded to the province.

Location of the sea sand dredging belonged to coastal borderline of 100 meters. The owner had violated the Law No. 4/2003 concerning with the taking of material belonging to class C. “Although it is not for sale, but should have permission. Moreover, it still belongs to the coastal borderline area. Therefore, we temporarily discontinue the activity and ask the owner to come to the office of the public order officer for submitting the permit,” said Section Head of the Civilian Security Guard.

Having been reprimanded, the landowner eventually promised to submit the permission first. “If this activity violates, we are ready to stop it. And if it should be postponed (location of the pond), we are also ready to obey it,” he added. (kmb26)

NEW YORK - Kristen Stewart, who shot to fame as Bella Swan in “The Twilight Saga” films and has a starring role in “Snow White and the Huntsman”, jumped to the top of Forbes. com’s annual list of highest-paid actresses on Tuesday. The 22year-old earned an estimated $34.5 million from May 2011 to May 2012 and pushed Angelina Jolie into fourth place.

Cameron Diaz, who had a surprise hit with “Bad Teacher”, came in second with $34 million. “She (Stewart) is an up-and-coming star. She is earning a lot of money from one of the most successful franchises of all time.

This is who you would expect to see right now,” said Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Los Angeles bureau chief.

“This year you are seeing somebody young and at the brink of potentially great stardom sitting on the top of the

list.” Forbes.com compiled the list and estimated salaries by talking to agents, managers and lawyers and based earnings on pay, profits, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, who largely took a break from filming after 2009’s “The Blind Side”, came third with $25 million.

Jolie, who topped last year’s list along with Sarah Jessica Parker, dropped to the fourth spot with earnings

Andrew Garfield: The new ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Associated Press Writer

LONDON — Andrew Garfield’s Spidey sense is tingling — and convincing. Garfield, the latest actor to play SpiderMan, makes people believe he really is a spider — even before he gets into the costume, the new film’s director said Monday at the gala British premiere for “The Amazing Spider-Man.” The word the producers of the reboot, the director and Garfield’s co-stars use to describe him is “committed.”

Director Marc Webb said he was impressed with the actor’s focus, emotional gravitas, comedy chops, and especially the way Garfield conveyed his transformation from teen-ager to spider.

“He was so committed to the physical dimension of the character, like he really was focused on feeling like a spider was taking over him and keeping that DNA alive and every time I would see him, his elbow would be moving a certain way and he was embodying the, like he really was, it felt like he was being taken over by a spider — and when he got in the suit it really paid a lot of dividends,” he explained.

The 28-year-old Garfield said he didn’t go as far as method acting. “I don’t know what that word means, but I definitely was dedicated to it and wanted to make sure that we did our job as well as possible and made sure that the character is served in the way that it should be,” he said.

One of the ways in which he devoted himself to becoming Peter Parker and his alter-ego, Spider-Man, was following an intense fitness regimen for six months, six days a week, plus three months of rehearsals and training for his stunt work.

Co-star Emma Stone thinks Garfield’s love of the superhero since he was 3 years old makes “his dedication and protection of the character totally apparent throughout the movie.”

of $20 million while Charlize Theron, Stewart’s co-star in “Snow White and the Huntsman” who also appears in “Prometheus”, trailed at $18 million, and rounded out the top five places.

Parker, whose 2011 film “I Don’t Know How She Does It” brought in a disappointing $30 million at the worldwide box office, slipped to seventh place with a $15 million salary.

“She is almost earning more from her perfume and endorsement deals right now than from entertainment.

That is true of a lot of women. They have these outside deals that are very lucrative. Angelina Jolie earns a lot from residuals, as does Sarah Jessica Parker,” Pomerantz said.

Former “Friends” star Jennifer Anniston just made the list, earning an $11 million salary.

England’s luck changes as Rooney heads winner Reuters

DONETSK - A Wayne Rooney header and a slice of luck when Ukraine were controversially denied an equaliser gave England a 1-0 win over the co-hosts and a place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 on Tuesday. Rooney headed home a Steven Gerrard cross when he was left unmarked at the far post after 48 minutes to celebrate his return to the side after serving a twomatch ban.

That was enough to give England first place in Group D and secure a clash with Italy in Kiev on Sunday.

Ukraine, who domi-

nated possession for most of the match, thought they had levelled just past the hour mark when Marco Devic’s shot was initially parried by goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The ball looped back towards goal before it was hacked away by defender John Terry, although television replays suggested the ball may have crossed the line. If it did, England had a huge helping hand from the soccer gods who looked the other way in Bloemfontein two years ago when Frank Lampard scored a ‘goal’ against Germany in the World Cup.
