Food, water and shelter are in short supply for the rising number of families gathering at the border between the two countries.

The United Nations High Commis-sioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says better planning and more accommodation must be provided for some 24,000 people who are stuck in Greece. A refugee stands next to a tent at a relocation camp where stranded refugees and migrants wait to cross the Greek-Macedonian border, near the Greek village of Idomeni

A refugee stands near a tent on the Greece-Macedonia border “Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humani-tarian crisis,” UN refugee agency spokes-man Adrian Edwards said. “The crowded conditions are leading to shortages of food, shelter, water and sanitation.

It comes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said clashes at Greece’s northern border on Monday showed the urgency with which the EU needs to act.

Army trucks have been stationed at a railway line near the southern Macedo-nian town of Gevgelija in anticipation of more trouble after hundreds stormed the border - prompting police to fire tear gas as several migrants were nearly trampled

and one officer injured. Near Idomeni on the Greek-Macedonian border itself a tent city has grown, leading to anger among those trapped there. “Macedonian police put us here, the Greeks don’t want us back,” said Yase Qued, a 16-year-old from Afghanistan.

Many refugees have been caught in Greece after Austria and other countries imposed restrictions on their borders, limiting the number of people allowed to cross. Police chiefs from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, meeting in Belgrade, agreed to improve the system of joint registration of refugees to unblock gridlocks in Greece.

Some 131,724 refugees have crossed the Mediterranean already this year, more than in the first half of 2015, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).(rtr)

West Brom dent Leicester’s title charge, Chelsea win again

LOS ANGELES — Just when it was looking like animated animal movies had run out of anything original to say, along comes the smartly amusing, crisply relevant “Zootopia” to handily demonstrate there’s still plenty of bite left in the anthropomorphic CG menagerie.

Boasting a pitch perfect voice cast led by a terrific Ginnifer Goodwin as a righteous rural rabbit who becomes the first cotton-tailed police recruit in the mammal-centric city of “Zootopia,” the 3-D caper expertly combines keen wit with a gentle, and very timely, mes-sage of inclusivity and empowerment.

The engaging result should easily appeal to all creatures great and small, giving this pre-mium Walt Disney Animation Studios effort a paw up on spring break entertainment, not to mention the summer arrival of Universal’s animated “The Secret Life of Pets.”

As the Zootopia Police Department’s sole bunny officer, idealistic Judy Hopps (Goodwin) discovers that breaking barriers can be an uphill climb, especially when the other cops in the force are mainly of the more imposing elephant/rhino/hippo ilk.

Although intrepid Judy can’t wait to col-lar her first perp, Bogo (Idris Elba), Precinct 1’s gruff cape buffalo police chief, has other plans, assigning her to parking duty, where she proves her worth by writing 200 tickets before noon on her first day.

But when a number of “Zootopia’s” resi-dents abruptly go missing, Bogo gives Judy the green light to do some big time police work and she finds herself partnering up with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a sly, world-weary scam artist of a fox, in a 48-hour bid to crack the case.

Nimbly directed by Byron Howard (“Tan-gled,” ‘’Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph”), along with co-director Jared Bush, who shares screenplay credit with Phil John-

ston, the romp serves up plenty of sharply observed satire (a DMV manned entirely by sloths is played to hilariously protracted ef-fect) wrapped up in judicious life lessons that never feel preachy or shoehorned-in.

While Goodwin and Bateman are a voice-casting dream team come true as a dysfunc-tional duo who learn to follow their instincts over preconceived notions, they’re joined by a nicely diverse supporting ensemble that also includes J.K. Simmons, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer and Shakira as a gazelle pop star who performs the film’s original song, “Try Everything,” co-written by hit-makers Sia and Stargate.

Also making their lines count are Jenny Slate as a not-so-sheepish sheep who serves as “Zootopia’s” predator-averse assistant mayor and Maurice LaMarsh as an arctic shrew ver-sion of Don Corleone named Mr. Big.

Visually, the “Zootopia” canvas pops — with or without the 3-D glasses — thanks to a gorgeously vibrant color palette and whimsical architectural scales orchestrated by production designer David Goetz. His work is in keeping with an all-mammal parallel universe comprised of distinct microclimates like sunny Bunnyburrow, icy Tundratown and self-explanatory Little Rodentia. (ap)

The band added the Concert for Amity show - likely to be the biggest rock concert ever staged in Cuba - to a Latin American tour that had been due to end on March 17 in Mexico City.

The performance will come three days after U.S. President Barack Obama is due to conclude a visit to Cuba, the first by an American president since 1928. Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro announced in December 2014 they would seek to normal-ize relations after more than half a century of Cold War animosity.

The concert, which will be filmed, is set to take place on fields surrounding Havana’s Ciudad Deportiva, a 26-hectare (64-acre) sports complex. It will mark the first open-air concert in Cuba by a British rock band, the group said.

“We have performed in many special places during our long career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event for us and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba too,” the band said in a statement ac-companied by an image of its four current members - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

After the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro, Raul’s brother, to power the Caribbean nation censured the group formed in London in 1962, as well as the Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Fidel Castro ultimately lamented the mu-sic censorship and attended the unveiling of a statue of late former Beatle John Lennon in a Havana park on the 20th anniversary of his death on Dec. 8, 2000.

“I very much regret not having known you before,” Castro said during the cer-emony.

At the statue on Tuesday, tour guide Julio Garcia reacted with joy to the news of the Stones’ visit, which was filtering out slowly on the island.

“Los Rolling in Cuba? Wow!” he said. “We have been waiting for them here for many years.”

Armando Gonzalez, 57, drove up in a blue and white Chevrolet built in 1954, before either the revolution or the Rolling Stones had tasted success.

“Their music has no borders,” he said. “Now there is an opening and we will be able to enjoy them fully.” (rtr)

DENPASAR - The struggle of Balinese p e o p l e r e -lated to rejec-tion against

the Benoa Bay reclamation plan

continues to be inflamed. Even though various measures have been

undertaken such as demonstration, sending letters of rejection and oth-ers, the leaders of Bali and central government seem to keep silent. Though seeing such massive rejec-tion, no leaders, either the executive or the legislative, speak up so far.

One of the environmental observ-ers, Prof. Dr. Putu Rumawan Salain, said on Monday (Feb. 29) that seeing

the silence of the leaders in Bali, he worried what Balinese people do all this time is considered to have no courage because when calling out continuously, they are considered to scream nonsense. “In principle, smart leaders must look at the situ-ation as it is today. If this is not managed well, it means the desire of customary people is not mediated.

More worryingly, horizontal conflict can steadily heat up,” he said.

Thus, the leaders of Bali are asked not to go blind and deaf, but they should be able to see the reality. In other words, no matter how small the rejection related to the reclamation plan at Benoa Bay is, it is an aspiration and should be quickly responded. This is done to

prevent undesirable things. “Our senior figures tell us it is just like the proverb ‘One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel.’ That is, do not let Bali be broken. If the reclamation project is promising this or that, let it be in another place,” he said.

EU On Brink Of Refugee ‘Humanitarian Crisis’

Europe faces a “self-induced humanitarian crisis” as thousands of refugees are caught between the border of Greece and Macedonia. The United Nations has warned that Europe is on the brink of a “self-induced humanitarian crisis” caused by the build-up of migrants and refugees on Greece’s border with Macedonia.

EvEry Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each fam-ily possesses. Because of this practically every few days a cer-emony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galun-

gan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Sara-swati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.

The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious

celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.

The celebration is very color-ful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decora-tions of carved wood and some-

times painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.

In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or at-

tributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up “Penjor”, long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beau-tiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple. Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.

However, the existing infrastruc-ture and accommodation causes the development of Bukit Abah expected to be an agrotourism to be unable to be realized. To that end, the Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, has allocated fund for road repair valued at IDR 2.5 billion. With the im-provement of infrastructure at Bukit Abah, the community’s economy is expected to increase with the tourism development at Bukit Abah.

In addition to having a beautiful view over the hills, most people at Besan village have profession as palm sugar tapper. The area also looks very beautiful with a variety of plants cultivated by residents on the road side to the summit of Bukit Abah. When visiting the Bukit Abah, Regent I Nyoman Suwirta admitted that many villas have been estab-lished in the region.

According to him, this proves the

potential of Bukit Abah as tourist attraction that is worth visiting. In addition to offering pristine nature with a variety of trees, Bukit Abah also has magnificent view showing off the beauty of southern coast of Bali. “Bukit Abah has great potential to become an agrotourism. Moreover, there is monkey that can become a tourist attraction,” he said.

However, to realize it is required investors that are able to work on the Bukit Abah into agro-tourism. Regent Suwirta revealed that related to the road damage, this year the local government has allocated a fund of IDR 2.5 billion to repair all the roads going to Bukit Abah. According to Regent Suwirta, the road damage at Bukit Abah is mainly caused by the contour of the land and rainwater. Heavy rain causes rainwater to flood and erode the road. “It should be strived for higher road construction

so that rainwater does not inundate the roads,” he added.

Additionally Bukit Abah also has a natural school named Preschool. Establishment of the learning center was conducted independently to instill the love for nature and teach children about the basic knowledge of English for free. The school is open every Saturday and Sunday when kids are off at school. At this learning center, children aged 7 and 15 years old are taught to maintain their environment by picking up plastic waste on the street and in front of people’s houses. “With this free education, children around the Besan village and Bukit Abah will perform positive activities by learn-ing about nature and basic English,” said Nengah Supastawa, initiator of the natural school. A total 60 children are participating in this activity. (dwa)

Seeing the massive rejection by Balinese people against the rec-lamation, he hoped not to touch their sacred feelings. Officials in Bali or in Jakarta as well as the investors wishing to reclaim should understand about Balinese people. “In principle, if people want to make anything, they can really do. In the sky they can make a hotel. However, they should consider first because Balinese people are different. Their value and sense cannot be negotiated with money though. For that, never touch the dignity of Balinese people,” he explained.

Seeing the silence of the leaders, he added, public suspicion of collusion behind all of these is getting higher. Properly, the leaders of Bali must respond to their actions transparently. “It means, if the reclamation plan brings in problems for Bali, well... tell like that because the issue of Benoa Bay reclamation project has been spread throughout the world. Do not consider them (Balinese people—Ed) a small person and to have no power as well as never consider this a trivial thing,” he said.

He added though behind it there are great people having money, Bali may not be harmed. Other than having to be transparent, the lead-ers must be able to also say not to continue and result in a conflict, so that the project is delayed. “It can be said that the project is postponed for some 10 years, 100 years or next. It will be handled later on. Well, currently where are the leaders? Why do they keep silent? If people have got an answer, they will turn quiet,” he said.

Besides, he also added that so far no leaders of Bali tell like that (they say neither agreement nor disagreement—Ed). He very much hoped if the leaders will speak up to respond to what Balinese people do. At least, there is a definite answer that should be heard by the pub-lic. “If I were them, I would say the project is delayed. However, will the officials dare to say so (delay—Ed)? Who will be opposed if our leaders do not dare? So, simply resign from the office,” he said curtly while saying that he rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation plan.

He added what Balinese people do so far, like speaking up by demonstrations to reject the reclamation, is the ethics of Balinese people applying eastern custom. They do not want to blaspheme others. On that account, the leaders should understand intelligently about the people’s desire. According to him, people should not make problems in Bali. Most importantly, let Balinese people be peaceful so that their children can go to school well. “Do not disrupt them with harming things,” he added. (kmb21)

HAVANA - Cuba reported its first case of Zika on Wednesday, diagnosed in a 28-year-old Ven-ezuelan doctor whose husband and brother-in-law previously contracted the virus in their home country.

The World Health Organiza-tion declared the Zika outbreak, suspected of causing thousands of birth defects in Brazil, an interna-tional health emergency on Feb. 1, although much about the virus remains unknown.

The patient arrived in Cuba on Feb. 21 to take a post-graduate course in medicine along with 37 others.

She reported a fever a day later and was diagnosed with Zika on Monday. She was recovering well in hospital, the Health Ministry said in a statement on Wednes-day.

Her husband was diagnosed with Zika two months ago and her brother two weeks before she trav-eled, the statement said.

Zika is carried by mosquitoes, which transmit the virus to hu-mans, though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said on Feb. 23 it was investigating possible cases of sexual transmission.

The outbreak has spread to many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean and the WHO esti-mates Zika could eventually affect as many as four million people in the region.

The Cuban government, which has fumigated neighborhoods and homes for decades to contain den-gue -- also a mosquito-borne virus and a close cousin of Zika -- put doctors on alert for the virus weeks ago and ramped up mosquito eradi-cation efforts.

The WHO is investigating a “strongly suspected” relationship between Zika and microcephaly, a condition marked by abnormally small head size. There is no vac-cine or treatment for the virus and some 80 percent of people infected show no symptoms. (rtr)

The justices are taking up the biggest case on the topic in nearly a quarter century Wednesday, con-sidering whether a Texas law that regulates abortion clinics hampers a woman’s constitutional right to obtain an abortion.

The clinics want the court to roll back regulations requiring doctors who perform abortions to have ad-mitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forcing clinics to meet standards for outpatient or ambulatory surgical centers. Like other states, mainly in the South, Texas says it passed the measure to protect women’s health.

Justice Anthony Kennedy prob-ably holds the deciding vote on the eight-justice court. He already joined with the court’s four liberal members to block some restrictions from taking effect while the case is on appeal.

If Kennedy sides with the liberal justices, the case could stand as an important reaffirmation of the stan-dard the court first laid out in 1992 that allows states to regulate abortion provided the restrictions do not impose “an undue burden” on a woman’s right to an abortion.

Scalia’s death means it is likely that Texas can get no more than four votes on a court that has been

starkly divided over abortion between conservatives and liberals. A 4-4 tie in this case would leave Texas’ law standing, because the federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled for the state. Such an outcome would allow Texas to put the regulations into full effect. The clinics say no more than about 10 facilities will remain open, where there once were more than 40 before the law was enacted in 2013.

If the court is evenly divided, the justices could decide to re-hear the case once a new colleague joins them. President Barack Obama says he will nominate a successor to Scalia. But Senate Republicans, backed by the party’s presidential candidates, have pledged to keep Scalia’s seat empty so that the next president can fill it.

Separately, the justices also are weighing an emergency appeal from clinics in Louisiana. The same federal appeals court has allowed that state’s admitting privileges law to take effect while a legal challenge winds its way through the courts, even after a trial judge struck it down as unconstitu-tional. The case is being appealed.

A decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, 15-274, is expected by late June. (ap)AP Photo/Jon Elswick, File

A military truck carries out fumigation in a neighborhood to stop the breeding of the dengue mosquito in Havana March 1, 2016. Cuba conducts regular fumigation inside homes to check the spread of dengue, a virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito that causes a fever which can be deadly. The same mosquito can also spread the Zika virus, although the Cuban government says there have been no reported cases of the disease in the country.

AMLAPURA — Deputy Regent of Karangasem, Wayan Artha Dipa, regretted the existence of many new village names. Moreover, they have nothing to do with the history of the vil-lage. When opening a health charity pro-gram at Biaslantang, Purwakerthi village, Saturday (Feb. 27), he said that the new village names are confusing.

This man from Sangkan Gunung, Sidemen, exempli-fied the name Pur-wakerthi village is often confused with the name Nawakerthi village equally lo-cated in Abang sub-district. Since earliest times there has been the name of Amed hamlet at Purwak-erthi. The name has been very well known and even worldwide. From time immemorial, it has been known as one of the ports and even suspected of having been frequently dropped in by Chinese traders. “Why does it not use the name ‘Amed village’ that has been widely known, for example?

“Amed has been widely known, even people of Jakarta can easily trace along with the coordinate points. If using a new name, people will get confused and even when seeking help will be difficult because people do not really know,” he said.

As observation, in addition to a bustling coastal fishing village, Amed has been evolving lately. Now, Amed Beach has become a tourist attraction supported by many villas, hotels and restaurants. Tourist accommodation rapidly expanding has even displaced the traditional salt farming area. Before developing into a tourism area, numerous traditional boats fell in line along the gently sloping beach and the salt farming land of local people spread behind them near the mainland. As the land gets pushed and sold by the owners, the traditional salt farming tools have finally vanished.

Now, foreign travelers and local people mingle, some take a bath or swim on the black sandy beach in the afternoon. Acting headman Made Cekeb and Chief of the Village Representatives, Nyoman Koria, said the village is inhabited by 5,000 people. They settle at five administrative hamlets.

On the beach, some fishing boats are parked in a row amounting to hundreds of units. Unfortunately, all this time the beach looks poorly arranged. It is rather dirty due to marine debris. A pigsty owned by local village seems to directly overlook the beach. In addition, there is also a fish landing base during fish season.

“When fishermen harvest fish, lots of fish are landed. There are also fish refrigerator and fish brining house,” said a fisherman, Monday.

The fisherman claimed to have stood idle for about a month. It happened because of a few fish stock. If there are more stocks, in addition to Kusamba, the fish is also sent to Buleleng and even to Jembrana.

At Purwakerthi namely Lebah hamlet, several families remain to carry out traditional salt farming. In this rainy season, they automatically take day off because traditional salt farming needs a lot of sunlight to evaporate seawater for leaving white crystallized salt. Salt farming land has run low as widely used for hotel. Most owners have sold their land because all this time they consider the salt farming is not longer profitable. (013)

Head of the Operations Division of the Gianyar Police, Ketut Dana, said although they have recorded 1,203 ogoh-ogoh in the District of Gianyar it is expected that more will be recorded as the day approaches. “Based on our initial data collec-tions, there are 1,203 ogoh-ogoh but they will only be paraded on Pengerupukan –there will be no competions for each sub-district as they have been in previous years”.

Dana added that following the results of a coordination meeting that took place at the headquarters of Gianyar Police on Monday (Feb. 29), with related agencies, it was agreed that more than one thousand joint personnel of the Indonesian Military (TNI) and National Police (Polri) and other security forces will be deployed to ensure security for

Nyepi -especially during the cel-ebration of Pengerupukan. “In total there will be 1,016 joint personnel engaged in security, including a pla-toon of troops from the Bali Police Mobile Brigade” he explained.

During the week long celebra-tions leading up to Nyepi, the Gi-anyar Police will also be conducting Operation Creating Conditions I 2016 (Cipkon) form March 4-8th. “ Security personnel will be divided into two teams that will conduct raids in anticipation of disturbances to social order and security during the melasti processions (ritual pro-cession to the ocean for purifica-tion)” explained Dana.

When asked about traffic secu-rity during the melasti processions, Dana said that all subdistrict police chiefs have held coordination

meetings and their personnel will be backed up by the ranks of the Gianyar Police, especially from the Gianyar Police Traffic Unit. “In the meeting each customary village also agreed to coordinate the implementation of their respec-tive melasti processions, including creating a schedule for each beach so as to prevent any problems”, he said.

Dana also disclosed that the melasti procesions of custom-ary villages in the subdistrict of Tegallalan will be the first to go to Purnama Beach. The peak of the melasti processions will occur between March 3-6th. “ We hope that all the different communi-ties will take part in the melasti processions in a safe and orderly manner”, he said.

BANGKOK- Thailand’s junta is intensifying intimidation of aca-demics who criticise the generals efforts to stay in power by sending army officers to their homes, a Thai rights group said on Wednesday.

Since the military seized power nearly two years ago, at least 77 academics have been harrassed at home by officers advising them to adjust their critical mindset or ordered to attend camps for indoctrina-tion, according to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.

Those who attend the camps are usually released within a couple of days.

At least five academics have been forced into exile, said Poonsuk Poonsukcharoen, a member of the lawyers group, which provides legal aid and monitors rights violations in Thailand and is influential with international NGOs, the European Union and other foreign govern-ments.

“With legitimacy stretching thin and achievements falling flat, the junta feels the pressure to silence critics to maintain its power,” Poonsuk told Reuters.

The country’s generals have struggled to revive Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy after ousting a democratically elected gov-ernment in 2014 to end months of political unrest that was damaging business.

There have been scattered protests against military rule, but they were quickly quelled by troops and police.

Some Thais welcomed the coup after months of anti-government street protests, but critics accuse the military of delaying a return to democracy by pushing back the date for elections.

Rights groups say the junta has used authoritarian methods to sys-tematically repress rights and muzzle critics.

In a Feb. 24 report, Amnesty International said Thailand had dis-missed international calls not to silence dissent.

Last week, self-exiled prominent Thai academic Pavin Chachaval-pongpun took to social media to accuse the junta of intimidating his family in Thailand.

“To hunt me is already unacceptable. But for them to go after my family is really too much,” he told Reuters via Skype.

“This has to be the junta’s most daring move yet,” said Pavin who gives lectures abroad on the Thai monarchy, a sensitive subject that cannot openly be discussed in Thailand because of draconian royal insult laws.

Junta spokesman Colonel Winthai Suvaree denied that the military is pursuing academics with greater zeal and told Reuters he was unaware of any intimidation of Pavin’s family.

“China must not pursue milita-rization in the South China Sea,” Carter said in a wide-ranging speech at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. “Specific actions will have specific conse-quences.”

Asked what the consequences could be, Carter told reporters the U.S. military was already increasing deployments to the Asia-Pacific region and would spend $425 million through 2020 to pay for more exercises and training with countries in the region that were unnerved by China’s actions.

He said China’s behavior had fueled trilateral agreements that would have been “unthinkable” even a few years ago.

The United States has carried out several freedom of navigation exercises in the South China Sea

recent months, sailing near disputed islands to underscore its rights to navigate the seas. U.S. Navy offi-cials say they plan to conduct more and increasingly complex exercises in the future.

Carter said the Pentagon also planned to spend over $8 billion in fiscal 2017 alone to expand its fleet of powerful submarines and undersea drones.

“There is no question that there are consequences for these actions,” Carter said. “We have plans in all three of these categories. You’ll see them unfolding.”

Carter underscored the U.S. mili-tary’s determination to safeguard maritime security around the world, and particularly in the South China Sea region, which sees about 30 percent of the world’s trade transit its waters each year.

The U.S. defense chief also

took aim at both Russia and China for their actions to limit Internet access, as well as state-sponsored cyber threats, cyber espionage and cyber crime.

He said the Pentagon would spend $35 billion over the next five years to beef up cybersecurity and develop offensive cyber options to defeat the Islamic State militant group and other enemies.

In his prepared remarks, Carter drew a sharp contrast between such behavior by Russia and China and what he described as much healthier U.S. actions to preserve Internet freedom.

“We don’t desire conflict with either country,” he said. “But we also cannot blind ourselves to their apparent goals and actions.”

Carter also cited U.S. concerns about Chinese and Russian efforts to develop anti-satellite weapons that could destroy critical U.S. national security satellites, citing China’s 2007 anti-satellite test that created over 3,000 pieces of debris. (rtr)

DENPASAR - Fire incident hitting the Badung market on Monday (Feb. 29) is likely to have a significant impact on the economy of Denpasar, particularly the circulation of money in the Badung market. Due to quite a lot of transactions taking place in the market, daily turnover reaches IDR 10-15 billion. “Circulation of money in the market, both in the morn-ing and at night is quite a lot,” said Man-aging Director of PD Pasar Denpasar, I Made Westra, Tuesday (Mar. 1).

Seeing the fire incident afflicting to the Badung market, it can be made sure there is a vacuum condition in a rela-tively long time. For cooling down only, it can take as long as three days.

On that account, Westra immediately made coordination with local merchants in order to be able to do relocation. More-over, the land for relocation has been available, namely in the area of ex Tiara Grosir. “We are trying to quickly relocate so as to relieve the mind of merchants,” said Westra met after a meeting with relevant agencies in the meeting room of Deputy Mayor of Denpasar.

Aside from the circulation of money in general, the monthly revenue of PD Pasar Badung from the Badung Mar-ket reaches IDR 800 million. In other words, the amount of this revenue will be corrected as a result of the incident. (kmb12)

DENPASAR - Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2016 has become a hot issue. Some parties assume the AEC as a catastrophe, but others consider this op-portunities.

Chairman of Kadin Bali, AA Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, Monday (29/2) in a public discussion titled “Opportunities and Challenges of Bali Tourism in AEC’s Era” said AEC is economic warfare, ranging local, national and international scale. “We cannot lose and we have to win in our own homes,” he said.

He said Bali have a reliable workforce. He is confident with the quality of human resources and the businessmen of tourism sector. If supported by the correct regulation, he is optimistic Indonesia will win this economic war. Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) Bali, Perry Markus added competition in AEC definitely getting tougher. However, in line with Alit, he was optimistic that the tourism industry and the workers will be able to compete.

He instead concerned with competition of accommodation in Bali. Based on the results of the study, it was estimated that the number of rooms in Bali at around 130,000 rooms. “If number of foreign tourists visit reached 4 million and the movement of domestic tourists approximately 7 million with a stay of less than 4 days, the hotel occupancy in Bali just 30 percent. Do we need to issue more hotel permissions?” he asked.

CertificationsRelated to this competition in AEC, certification on human

resources is very important. To that end, Denpasar is seriously prepares for it. Head of Denpasar Tourism Office, Wayan Gunawan stated target of Denpasar in the tourism labor certification is in 2018 the entire workforce in Denpasar been certified.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Federation Unions of Tourism Workers (FSP Par) Bali, Putu Satyawira Marhaendra expressed that industry, government, and workers currently unprepared in facing AEC. He also explained that there are about 500,000 work-ers in Bali’s tourism industry. However, the number of workers that has been certified is still small compared to the total tourism sector workers.

He mentioned there is an impression that government only con-ducting certification based on formality. In another mean, certifica-tion is only the pursuit of quantity rather than quality. (kmb18)

MANY melancholic stories after the fire incident hitting the Badung market, Monday (Feb. 29). Moreover, some merchants claimed not to know if the market where they usually sell was engulfed in flames. “I’d like to open before 03:00 in the morning (yesterday—Ed). When arriving at the front (yard) there were a lot of people. I was so surprised. I just knew if the market was on fire,” said Ni ketut Ripek, the merchant of canang oblation and fruits on the first floor of the Badung Market, when met on Tuesday (Mar. 1).

Now, Ripek must stop her selling activities because all the goods were already burned. Only ruins are still left. “I do not know what to do. My mind is still chaotic seeing such market conditions,” she said, while looking at the condition of the first floor only leaving

debris.Similar condition was also recognized

by Ni Made Santi. This fruit merchant knew the fire incident from her son. However, she just could come yesterday morning. “I have been selling here since this market has not been in multi-storey building. So, I already experienced this kind of fire incident for three times. This is just like my paddy field,” said the merchant from Sidakarya.

When asked about their losses, Santi and Ripek claimed to be not too much because they usually purchase goods one day before the goods are resold at the Badung market. Now, they are very worried about how long they will not sell. This means, there will be no more income for their families. (ara)

BUSINESS

The bank said its fourth quarter adjusted pretax profit, which in-cludes one-off items like provisions to pay for mis-selling policies in the U.K., fell by more than a half to 247 million pounds ($344 million) from the year before.

The London-based firm’s re-structuring plan is part of new rules to separate riskier investment banking from retail banking. Such ring-fencing is meant to keep people’s savings secure in the event of another financial crash.

The bank said it would pay a lower dividend this year and next year, leading shares to fall 8 percent to 158.10 pence.

The bank also announced plans to sell down its stake in its African operations over the next three years to a non-controlling position. Barclays Africa Group Ltd. is now 62 percent owned by Barclays and has 12 million customers across 12 countries.

New CEO Jes Staley says Bar-clays PLC “is fundamentally on the right path, and is, at its core, a very good business.”

Staley was brought in after former CEO Antony Jenkins was pushed aside amid concerns about the performance of Barclays’ in-

vestment bank. Staley began his career as a commercial banker and advanced to head J.P. Morgan’s global investment bank.

Jenkins had championed a more ethical approach to his company’s operations after he took charge in wake of allegations Barclays was involved in the manipulation of a key global interest rate called the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR. He sought to reduce the importance of investment bank-ing.

“The new boss Jes Staley is clearly taking a big broom to Barclays’ operations in a bid to dramatically simplify the group,” said Laith Khalaf of Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers. “When the dust has cleared, the bank should have two high quality financial services divisions, and the potential to offer investors a decent dividend, but it’s going to take some elbow grease to get there.”

The bank also offered a warning about the uncertainty regarding operations in the event that Britain votes to leave the European Union on June 23. It argued the vote “raises the possibility of a disrup-tive an uncertain exit from the EU, with attendant consequences for

investment and confidence.”It described the period following

a vote in favor of leaving as hav-

ing “unpredictable implications on market conditions.” “We think it is in the interests of our customers

and clients for the UK to remain in the EU,” Chairman John McFarlane said.(ap)

NEW YORK — The owner of the New York Stock Exchange is considering a bid for the Lon-don Stock Exchange, looking to potentially thwart the London exchange’s merger talks with Deutsche Boerse.

Last month London Stock Ex-change Group PLC said that it was holding discussions with Deutsche Boerse over a possible tie up. Two previous attempts to combine the European exchanges, in 2000 and 2004, failed.

On Tuesday, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., which owns the NYSE, said that it has yet to de-cide whether to pursue an offer

and hasn’t reached out to LSE’s board.

A firm intention to move for-ward in a bid for the London exchange must be made known by March 29, ICE said, to comply with industry rules.

Shares of the LSE finished with a gain of 7.2 percent in London on the prospect of a bidding war. Shares of Intercontinental Ex-change Inc. fell $8.99, or 3.8 per-cent, to $229.47 in midday trad-ing. There has been an increasing number of stock exchange merg-ers since the mid-2000s.

In 2006 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and CBOT Holdings

Inc. agreed to combine, and the New York Stock Exchange ac-quired Euronext NV and Archi-pelago Holdings.

A year later Nasdaq and Borse Dubai reached a deal to take over Nordic stock exchange opera-tor OMX AB, with Borse Dubai buying OMX and transferring ownership to Nasdaq in return for almost 20 percent stake in the new company and Nasdaq’s 28 percent stake in London Stock Exchange.

Also in 2007, CME Group Inc. acquired NYMEX Holdings Inc. ICE closed on its buyout of NYSE Euronext in 2013.(ap)

“We have always advocated in favor of the protection of migrant workers in the ASEAN region,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno LP Marsudi said here on Monday.

At various ASEAN meetings, the Indonesian government empha-sized the importance of protecting migrant workers.

“We have been always highlight-ing the issue of migrant workers in every meeting consistently,” the minister said.

The minister attended the ASE-AN Foreign Minister Meeting (AMM) Retreat in Vientiane, Laos, from February 27 and 28.

The minister remarked that the government focused on the welfare and protection of migrant workers in ASEAN.

“There are thousands of Indone-sian migrant working in neighbor-ing countries in Southeast Asia,” the minister stated.

Therefore, the minister expected that ASEAN countries would arrive

at a deal for the establishment of legal instruments that guarantee the rights of migrant workers.

“There should be a preliminary agreement to formulate such legal instruments. Then, the instrument will be negotiated,” the minister said.

Earlier, Indonesian Foreign Af-fairs Minister urged the ASEAN member countries to work more closely to encourage the implemen-tation of the ASEAN Community as part of an effort to achieve concrete results and advantages.

The minister affirmed that ASE-AN should lead in establishing the regional architecture in the region and at the global level.

During the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting (AMM) Retreat, Marsudi also held a bilateral meet-ing with Singapores Foreign Minis-ter Vivian Balakhrisnan, and Acting Foreign Minister of Philippine Laura Q. Del Rosario to discuss bilateral cooperation.(ant)

SURABAYA - The Surabaya district court has sentenced two former police officers to six years imprisonment each in a case of drug abuse. The two former officers of the Surabaya city police also faced a fine of Rp800 million or another three months in jail, judge of the Surabaya district court Haryanto said here on Tuesday.

The convicts, identified by their initials as DF and MS, planned to appeal against the verdict. “We will appeal against it,” the two convicts told a panel of judges.

The sentence is one year less than what the public prosecutor, Suseno from the Surabaya public prosecutors office, had earlier sought. “I will also appeal against it,” the public prosecutor said replying to a question from judge Hariyanto.

The two former police officers have been declared guilty of com-mitting a conspiracy, possessing narcotics of type I.(ant)

JAKARTA - Another lawmaker Budi Supriyanto of the Golkar fac-tion, has been named a graft suspect by the Corruption Eradication Com-mission (KPK).

Budi of the Commission V of the Parliament was charged with accepting bribe from a construc-tion company PT Windhu Tunggul Utama (WTU) , which sought a contract to build projects of the pub-lic works ministry in Maluku, head of the public relations department of KPK Yuyuk Andriati said.

“The suspect allegedly received a gift from Abdul Khoir, the director of PT Windu Tunggal Utama to help

the company win the contract for the projects,” Yuyuk told reporters here on Wednesday.

KPK already arrested four other suspects in the same case including Abdul Khoir, Commission V law-maker Damayanti Wisnu Putranti of the ruling PDI-P faction, and two Damayantis assistants Dessy A Edwin (DES) and Julia Prasetyarini (UWI).

PT WTU bribed the lawmak-ers to ensure that it would win the contract to build the projects which were financed with Parliaments “aspiration fund” to be disbursed through the public works ministry.

The public works projects are to be built in Maluku including roads, and bridges on the islands of Seram.

KPK said it believed Damayanti and Budi were not the only lawmak-ers of the Commission V involved in the graft case.

KPK already raided the office room of another Commission V lawmaker Yudi Widiana Adia of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).

It has also asked the immigration office to ban Budi Supriyanto, and a businessman So Kok Seng alias Aseng from leaving the country for six months.(ant)

ISTANBUL - The release of two prominent Turkish journal-ists following a ruling by Tur-key’s top court that their rights had been violated is a “clear defeat” for President Tayyip Erdogan, one of them said on Tuesday.

Can Dundar, the editor-in-chief of secularist opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet, and his colleague Erdem Gul were freed on Friday after the constitutional court ruled that their detentions had violated their rights.

The two, who still face trial and potential life sentences, were arrested in November and charged with intentionally aiding an armed terrorist organisation and publishing material in viola-tion of state security.

Cumhuriyet published photos, videos and a report last year that it said showed intelligence officials trucking arms to Syria

in 2014.Erdogan, who cast the news-

paper’s coverage as part of an attempt to undermine Turkey’s global standing, has said he does not respect the constitutional court’s decision and that the case is not about press freedom, but about espionage.

Dundar, speaking at a news conference in Istanbul, said he would defy an order to surrender his passport and would attempt to travel overseas.

In its ruling, the constitutional court said the detention of the two was “not lawful” and violat-ed their individual freedom and safety. Their trial is due to start on March 25.

Advocacy group Reporters Without Borders welcomed the court’s decision and called for the charges of espionage and as-sisting a terrorist organisation to be dropped. (rtr)

On Super Tuesday, the 2016 campaign’s biggest day of nomi-nating contests, Trump, 69, and Clinton, 68, proved themselves the undisputed front-runners.

Now they are under pressure to show they can unify voters in their respective parties and avoid a potentially disastrous split in their ranks that could hurt them in the Nov. 8 election.

U.S. networks projected Trump won seven states with victories stretching into the deep South and as far north as Massachusetts, add-ing to a sense of momentum he had built last month by winning three of the first four contests.

Clinton’s victories in seven states were just as impressive but in many ways predictable, pro-pelled by African-American voters in southern states like Arkansas, where she and former President Bill Clinton began their political careers.

Trump’s rivals Ted Cruz, a U.S.

senator from Texas, and Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida, emphasized their determination to remain in the race.

Cruz, 45, won his home state of Texas, neighboring Oklahoma and Alaska, bolstering his argument he had the best chance to stop the brash billionaire. Rubio, favorite of the Republican establishment, was projected the winner in Minnesota, his first victory.

Clinton’s rival Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist U.S. senator from Vermont, also won his home state along with Colorado, Minne-sota and Oklahoma and vowed to pursue the battle for the nomination in the 35 states yet to vote. He lost to Clinton in Massachusetts, a fifth state he had hoped to win.

Super Tuesday was the big-gest single day of state-by-state contests to select party nominees for the Nov. 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama. (rtr)

TOKYO - Kohei Uchimura could become the first man in over 40 years to win back-to-back Olympic all-around titles in Rio but the Japanese gymnast says his first priority is team gold, not personal glory, at the Summer Games.

Uchimura won silver in the all-around at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but was on top of the podium four years later in London.

At Glasgow last year, Uchimura won a record sixth world title and he heads to Rio heavily tipped to become the first winner of consecutive gold medals in the event since 1972 when compatriot Sawano Kato pulled off the feat in Munich.

Winning the team title at last year’s world championships after a 37-year drought fulfilled one dream for Uchimu-ra, but now he wants the same thing at the Olympics.

“I feel the individual all-around isn’t something I should even think about until after the team event,” Uchimura told Reuters after a recent training ses-sion in Tokyo.

“All I can think about is how much I want team gold. That’s everything.”

Japan took team gold at five succes-sive Olympics from 1960 to 1976 but had to wait until Athens in 2004 to reach

the top of the podium again.In Beijing and London, they had

played second fiddle to China, whose risky moves often outshine the more cautious Japanese approach.

Uchimura agrees China is their big-gest rival, followed by the United States and Great Britain, and said Japan had to step outside their comfort zone to push for gold in Rio while maintaining the level of perfection they showed in 2004.

“The difficulty of Japanese routines hasn’t been as high as China’s but we’ve emphasized perfection, which is, I think, why the team won in Athens, and that’s something I think we need to continue,” said Uchimura, who so far is the only gymnast guaranteed a team place for Rio.

“We’ll raise our difficulty level a bit but I think it’s best if we emphasize perfection ... We need to aim for beauty and perfection.” (rtr)

Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, doping cases must be heard by an independent spe-cialized tribunal as opposed to a general sports court, as is the cur-rent process in Brazil.

“They (Brazil) are very well aware of what they have to do,” WADA chief Craig Reedie told reporters in Lausanne on Tuesday, confirming the deadline. “The ball is firmly in their court.”

Reedie said Brazil had assured WADA for considerable time that it would change the law. With the Olympics starting in Rio in August, WADA set a March 18 deadline for Brazil to be in accordance with the organization’s doping rules.

However, with Brazil embroiled

in a political crisis and President Dilma Rousseff facing impeach-ment proceedings, there is no guar-antee that the government will pass the required change in time.

Marco Aurelio Klein, national secretary of the Brazilian Doping Authority, said the creation of a separate doping tribunal could be achieved by presidential decree, a temporary law, or editing a law that is about to be passed.

Klein is concerned Brazil could lose its WADA accreditation even though it built a laboratory at Rio’s Federal University that cost more than 100 million reais.

“A few months before the Olym-pic Games, Brazil cannot take that risk,” Klein said. (rtr)

Brazil running out of time to change doping law

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil, which has built a $25 million laboratory just to test drug cheats at the Olympics in Rio de Ja-neiro, risks being unable to do so, as it has less than three weeks to change its doping laws to conform to global regulations.

NUSA DUA - Water Blow is an attraction that you have to see when you visit the beautiful Island of Bali. The place is quiet, beautiful and charming and makes a lot of foreign and domestic tourists visit this place. This place, is a so called reef with a narrow opening. The waves come in this narrow opening, and when the waves hit the reef, pressure rises and blow up. That’s why this place is called Water Blow.

Water Blow is located in the peninsula Nusa Dua region. Water Blow is also suitable for making a pre-wedding photo album, or just a family photo. Photos will look good when the waves are bouncing upwards. The cliffs are steep and the color of the sea is very concentrated and this makes Water Blow a very nice photo object, especially when you combine the photo with some rocks and dried plants that sway in the wind. This will add a very romantic ambience to your picture.

But every now and then there are also some people that are fishing, sitting on the edge of the rocks, while enjoying the beautiful scenery and listening to sounds of the powerful waves crashing against the reef. (IBP/net)

The leaders were denied victory by a stunning free kick from Craig Gardner and while they moved three points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs will replace them in top spot if they win at West Ham on Wednesday thanks to a better goal difference.

While Leicester and Spurs are locked in hot pursuit of the title, reigning champions Chelsea continued their revival under interim coach Guus Hiddink with a third successive league win -- 2-1 over relegation-threatened Norwich City.

Sunderland grabbed a point with a last minute goal to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace while Everton pushed Aston Villa closer to relegation with a 3-1 win at Villa Park, where thousands of fans walked out in protest at the way the club is being run.

At the top, Leicester, on 57 points with 10 matches to play, would have opened up a five-point gap with a win but manager Claudio Ranieri was far from despondent despite the two dropped points. “I am very pleased with our performance,” he told the BBC.

“They played so well, there was no panic after the first goal. We played much better than against Norwich (on Saturday).

“I want to create a lot of chances and sooner or later we score. Tonight wasn’t the right moment but we are alive and we fight to the end. Everybody is ready to fight, to play well, to create chances. Only the victory was missing.”

Leicester came close to dropping two points on Saturday before beating Norwich with a last-minute goal, but they could not repeat the trick on Tuesday. They fell behind after 11 minutes when West Brom’s Salomon Rondon became the first player to score a league goal against them at the King Power Stadium in 2016.

However, they struck back with a fortuitous deflected shot from Danny Drinkwater and went ahead with a brilliantly-executed first league goal of the season for Andy King on the stroke of halftime.

They were pegged back after 50 minutes when Gardner’s 25-metre free kick left Leicester goal-keeper Kasper Schmeichel rooted to the spot.

Leicester struck the woodwork twice with ef-forts from Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki, while Leonardo Ulloa, Saturday’s match-winner against Norwich, almost grabbed another winner in the final few seconds but his effort went just wide.

CHELSEA REVIVAL

Chelsea stretched their unbeaten league run to

12 matches since former manager Jose Mourinho left in December after a 2-1 win at Norwich, where Kenedy scored the fastest goal in the league th is season, after 39 seconds, to put t he v i s i to r s ahead.

The vic-t o r y w a s s e c u r e d by a sec-ond goal from Di-ego Cos-ta, which l o o k e d o f f s i d e , and lifted C h e l s e a t o eighth.

Interim coach Hiddink told Sky: “We didn’t want to go into the battle but they forced us. We were sloppy in the first half, starting well with a beautiful goal and I think we could have finished it in the first half.

“We were complacent with the last pass. They made our life difficult.” Norwich pulled a goal back through Nathan Redmond after 68 minutes but defeat saw them slide into the bottom three behind Sunderland. Aston Villa inched closer to relegation with a 3-1 loss to Everton at Villa Park.

The fans’ protest was planned for the 74th minute, in recognition of Villa’s founding in 1874, by which time the hosts were already 3-0 down. Villa are eight points adrift at the bot-tom behind Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle United, who are all on 24.

MILAN — AC Milan cruised into the Italian Cup final following a 5-0 rout of third-division Alessandria on Tuesday.

Jeremy Menez and Alessio Romagnoli each scored twice and Mario Balotelli also found the target as the Rossoneri advanced 6-0 on aggregate following a penalty from Balotelli in the opening leg.

Menez set the tone when he beat the offside trap to put Milan ahead seven minutes in at the San Siro. Romagnoli doubled the lead from close range following a corner and Menez was left virtually uncontested to make it 3-0 before the break.

Romagnoli added another late in the second half that had to be validated with goal-line technology before Balotelli scored in the final seconds.

Menez was making his first start after a long injury layoff while Ro-magnoli collected his first goals in a Milan shirt.

“This was one of the goals for this season, so we’re pleased that we’ve reached the final,” said Milan’s 38-year-old goalkeeper Christian Abbiati, who played on the Milan team that last won the cup in 2003.

FRANKFURT — Germany forward An-dre Schuerrle scored a hat trick as Wolfsburg won 4-0 at bottom-place Han-nover in the Bundesliga on Tuesday. In the second match, Anthony Modeste notched the equalizer as Cologne came from behind to draw 1-1 at Ingolstadt.

The remaining seven matches will be played Wednesday. Schuerrle has been seeking his form for months but he found his scoring touch against the hapless Hannover. He broke the deadlock in the 36th minute and then struck twice after the break. His third was the most spectacular — Schuerrle chested down a half clearance by Hannover and fired a volley into the roof of the net. Julian Draxler completed the victory.

“I am feeling well, this is very good for me,” Schuerrle said after his first hat trick for Wolfs-burg. Hannover has lost 10 out of 12 matches at home and nine of its last 10 matches.

Just before the kickoff, a flare fired by Wolfsburg fans across the pitch hit Hannover’s bench but caused no harm. The kick off was briefly delayed.

In Ingolstadt, striker Lukas Hinterseer scored his third goal in three matches for the home side to take the lead. But Modeste connected with a cross from Marcel Risse to level with his 11th goal of the season.(ap)

SEOUL, South Korea — Alex Teixeira scored and Ramires was

sent off for Jiangsu Suning as the big-spending Chinese club

beat Jeonbuk Motors 3-2 in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday. Teixeira, signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in Febru-ary, scored in the first half with a low shot from outside the area.

Second-half strikes from former Everton and Manchester City striker Jo and Xu Li re-stored the host’s advantage after Lee Dong-gook brought Jeonbuk level. Jiangsu also scored an own-goal late in the match.

Ramires, bought last month from Premier League champion Chelsea, was sent off for a push in injury time. Jiangsu moved to the top of Group E with four points from two games. FC Tokyo is level on points with Jeonbuk after beating Binh Duong 3-1 at home.

Another first-round exit is looming for Japanese cham-pion Sanfrecce Hiroshima after a 4-1 loss to FC Seoul. In its past three appear-ances, the J-League team has never progressed past the group stage.

The leaders were denied victory by a stunning free kick from Craig Gardner and while they moved three points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs will replace them in top spot if they win at West Ham on Wednesday thanks to a better goal difference.

While Leicester and Spurs are locked in hot pursuit of the title, reigning champions Chelsea continued their revival under interim coach Guus Hiddink with a third successive league win -- 2-1 over relegation-threatened Norwich City.

Sunderland grabbed a point with a last minute goal to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace while Everton pushed Aston Villa closer to relegation with a 3-1 win at Villa Park, where thousands of fans walked out in protest at the way the club is being run.

At the top, Leicester, on 57 points with 10 matches to play, would have opened up a five-point gap with a win but manager Claudio Ranieri was far from despondent despite the two dropped points. “I am very pleased with our performance,” he told the BBC.

“They played so well, there was no panic after the first goal. We played much better than against Norwich (on Saturday).

“I want to create a lot of chances and sooner or later we score. Tonight wasn’t the right moment but we are alive and we fight to the end. Everybody is ready to fight, to play well, to create chances. Only the victory was missing.”

Leicester came close to dropping two points on Saturday before beating Norwich with a last-minute goal, but they could not repeat the trick on Tuesday. They fell behind after 11 minutes when West Brom’s Salomon Rondon became the first player to score a league goal against them at the King Power Stadium in 2016.

However, they struck back with a fortuitous deflected shot from Danny Drinkwater and went ahead with a brilliantly-executed first league goal of the season for Andy King on the stroke of halftime.

They were pegged back after 50 minutes when Gardner’s 25-metre free kick left Leicester goal-keeper Kasper Schmeichel rooted to the spot.

Leicester struck the woodwork twice with ef-forts from Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki, while Leonardo Ulloa, Saturday’s match-winner against Norwich, almost grabbed another winner in the final few seconds but his effort went just wide.

CHELSEA REVIVAL

Chelsea stretched their unbeaten league run to

12 matches since former manager Jose Mourinho left in December after a 2-1 win at Norwich, where Kenedy scored the fastest goal in the league th is season, after 39 seconds, to put t he v i s i to r s ahead.

The vic-t o r y w a s s e c u r e d by a sec-ond goal from Di-ego Cos-ta, which l o o k e d o f f s i d e , and lifted C h e l s e a t o eighth.

Interim coach Hiddink told Sky: “We didn’t want to go into the battle but they forced us. We were sloppy in the first half, starting well with a beautiful goal and I think we could have finished it in the first half.

“We were complacent with the last pass. They made our life difficult.” Norwich pulled a goal back through Nathan Redmond after 68 minutes but defeat saw them slide into the bottom three behind Sunderland. Aston Villa inched closer to relegation with a 3-1 loss to Everton at Villa Park.

The fans’ protest was planned for the 74th minute, in recognition of Villa’s founding in 1874, by which time the hosts were already 3-0 down. Villa are eight points adrift at the bot-tom behind Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle United, who are all on 24.

TOKYO - Kohei Uchimura could become the first man in over 40 years to win back-to-back Olympic all-around titles in Rio but the Japanese gymnast says his first priority is team gold, not personal glory, at the Summer Games.

Uchimura won silver in the all-around at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but was on top of the podium four years later in London.

At Glasgow last year, Uchimura won a record sixth world title and he heads to Rio heavily tipped to become the first winner of consecutive gold medals in the event since 1972 when compatriot Sawano Kato pulled off the feat in Munich.

Winning the team title at last year’s world championships after a 37-year drought fulfilled one dream for Uchimu-ra, but now he wants the same thing at the Olympics.

“I feel the individual all-around isn’t something I should even think about until after the team event,” Uchimura told Reuters after a recent training ses-sion in Tokyo.

“All I can think about is how much I want team gold. That’s everything.”

Japan took team gold at five succes-sive Olympics from 1960 to 1976 but had to wait until Athens in 2004 to reach

the top of the podium again.In Beijing and London, they had

played second fiddle to China, whose risky moves often outshine the more cautious Japanese approach.

Uchimura agrees China is their big-gest rival, followed by the United States and Great Britain, and said Japan had to step outside their comfort zone to push for gold in Rio while maintaining the level of perfection they showed in 2004.

“The difficulty of Japanese routines hasn’t been as high as China’s but we’ve emphasized perfection, which is, I think, why the team won in Athens, and that’s something I think we need to continue,” said Uchimura, who so far is the only gymnast guaranteed a team place for Rio.

“We’ll raise our difficulty level a bit but I think it’s best if we emphasize perfection ... We need to aim for beauty and perfection.” (rtr)

Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, doping cases must be heard by an independent spe-cialized tribunal as opposed to a general sports court, as is the cur-rent process in Brazil.

“They (Brazil) are very well aware of what they have to do,” WADA chief Craig Reedie told reporters in Lausanne on Tuesday, confirming the deadline. “The ball is firmly in their court.”

Reedie said Brazil had assured WADA for considerable time that it would change the law. With the Olympics starting in Rio in August, WADA set a March 18 deadline for Brazil to be in accordance with the organization’s doping rules.

However, with Brazil embroiled

in a political crisis and President Dilma Rousseff facing impeach-ment proceedings, there is no guar-antee that the government will pass the required change in time.

Marco Aurelio Klein, national secretary of the Brazilian Doping Authority, said the creation of a separate doping tribunal could be achieved by presidential decree, a temporary law, or editing a law that is about to be passed.

Klein is concerned Brazil could lose its WADA accreditation even though it built a laboratory at Rio’s Federal University that cost more than 100 million reais.

“A few months before the Olym-pic Games, Brazil cannot take that risk,” Klein said. (rtr)

Brazil running out of time to change doping law

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil, which has built a $25 million laboratory just to test drug cheats at the Olympics in Rio de Ja-neiro, risks being unable to do so, as it has less than three weeks to change its doping laws to conform to global regulations.

NUSA DUA - Water Blow is an attraction that you have to see when you visit the beautiful Island of Bali. The place is quiet, beautiful and charming and makes a lot of foreign and domestic tourists visit this place. This place, is a so called reef with a narrow opening. The waves come in this narrow opening, and when the waves hit the reef, pressure rises and blow up. That’s why this place is called Water Blow.

Water Blow is located in the peninsula Nusa Dua region. Water Blow is also suitable for making a pre-wedding photo album, or just a family photo. Photos will look good when the waves are bouncing upwards. The cliffs are steep and the color of the sea is very concentrated and this makes Water Blow a very nice photo object, especially when you combine the photo with some rocks and dried plants that sway in the wind. This will add a very romantic ambience to your picture.

But every now and then there are also some people that are fishing, sitting on the edge of the rocks, while enjoying the beautiful scenery and listening to sounds of the powerful waves crashing against the reef. (IBP/net)

ISTANBUL - The release of two prominent Turkish journal-ists following a ruling by Tur-key’s top court that their rights had been violated is a “clear defeat” for President Tayyip Erdogan, one of them said on Tuesday.

Can Dundar, the editor-in-chief of secularist opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet, and his colleague Erdem Gul were freed on Friday after the constitutional court ruled that their detentions had violated their rights.

The two, who still face trial and potential life sentences, were arrested in November and charged with intentionally aiding an armed terrorist organisation and publishing material in viola-tion of state security.

Cumhuriyet published photos, videos and a report last year that it said showed intelligence officials trucking arms to Syria

in 2014.Erdogan, who cast the news-

paper’s coverage as part of an attempt to undermine Turkey’s global standing, has said he does not respect the constitutional court’s decision and that the case is not about press freedom, but about espionage.

Dundar, speaking at a news conference in Istanbul, said he would defy an order to surrender his passport and would attempt to travel overseas.

In its ruling, the constitutional court said the detention of the two was “not lawful” and violat-ed their individual freedom and safety. Their trial is due to start on March 25.

Advocacy group Reporters Without Borders welcomed the court’s decision and called for the charges of espionage and as-sisting a terrorist organisation to be dropped. (rtr)

On Super Tuesday, the 2016 campaign’s biggest day of nomi-nating contests, Trump, 69, and Clinton, 68, proved themselves the undisputed front-runners.

Now they are under pressure to show they can unify voters in their respective parties and avoid a potentially disastrous split in their ranks that could hurt them in the Nov. 8 election.

U.S. networks projected Trump won seven states with victories stretching into the deep South and as far north as Massachusetts, add-ing to a sense of momentum he had built last month by winning three of the first four contests.

Clinton’s victories in seven states were just as impressive but in many ways predictable, pro-pelled by African-American voters in southern states like Arkansas, where she and former President Bill Clinton began their political careers.

Trump’s rivals Ted Cruz, a U.S.

senator from Texas, and Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida, emphasized their determination to remain in the race.

Cruz, 45, won his home state of Texas, neighboring Oklahoma and Alaska, bolstering his argument he had the best chance to stop the brash billionaire. Rubio, favorite of the Republican establishment, was projected the winner in Minnesota, his first victory.

Clinton’s rival Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist U.S. senator from Vermont, also won his home state along with Colorado, Minne-sota and Oklahoma and vowed to pursue the battle for the nomination in the 35 states yet to vote. He lost to Clinton in Massachusetts, a fifth state he had hoped to win.

Super Tuesday was the big-gest single day of state-by-state contests to select party nominees for the Nov. 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama. (rtr)

BUSINESS

The bank said its fourth quarter adjusted pretax profit, which in-cludes one-off items like provisions to pay for mis-selling policies in the U.K., fell by more than a half to 247 million pounds ($344 million) from the year before.

The London-based firm’s re-structuring plan is part of new rules to separate riskier investment banking from retail banking. Such ring-fencing is meant to keep people’s savings secure in the event of another financial crash.

The bank said it would pay a lower dividend this year and next year, leading shares to fall 8 percent to 158.10 pence.

The bank also announced plans to sell down its stake in its African operations over the next three years to a non-controlling position. Barclays Africa Group Ltd. is now 62 percent owned by Barclays and has 12 million customers across 12 countries.

New CEO Jes Staley says Bar-clays PLC “is fundamentally on the right path, and is, at its core, a very good business.”

Staley was brought in after former CEO Antony Jenkins was pushed aside amid concerns about the performance of Barclays’ in-

vestment bank. Staley began his career as a commercial banker and advanced to head J.P. Morgan’s global investment bank.

Jenkins had championed a more ethical approach to his company’s operations after he took charge in wake of allegations Barclays was involved in the manipulation of a key global interest rate called the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR. He sought to reduce the importance of investment bank-ing.

“The new boss Jes Staley is clearly taking a big broom to Barclays’ operations in a bid to dramatically simplify the group,” said Laith Khalaf of Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers. “When the dust has cleared, the bank should have two high quality financial services divisions, and the potential to offer investors a decent dividend, but it’s going to take some elbow grease to get there.”

The bank also offered a warning about the uncertainty regarding operations in the event that Britain votes to leave the European Union on June 23. It argued the vote “raises the possibility of a disrup-tive an uncertain exit from the EU, with attendant consequences for

investment and confidence.”It described the period following

a vote in favor of leaving as hav-

ing “unpredictable implications on market conditions.” “We think it is in the interests of our customers

and clients for the UK to remain in the EU,” Chairman John McFarlane said.(ap)

NEW YORK — The owner of the New York Stock Exchange is considering a bid for the Lon-don Stock Exchange, looking to potentially thwart the London exchange’s merger talks with Deutsche Boerse.

Last month London Stock Ex-change Group PLC said that it was holding discussions with Deutsche Boerse over a possible tie up. Two previous attempts to combine the European exchanges, in 2000 and 2004, failed.

On Tuesday, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., which owns the NYSE, said that it has yet to de-cide whether to pursue an offer

and hasn’t reached out to LSE’s board.

A firm intention to move for-ward in a bid for the London exchange must be made known by March 29, ICE said, to comply with industry rules.

Shares of the LSE finished with a gain of 7.2 percent in London on the prospect of a bidding war. Shares of Intercontinental Ex-change Inc. fell $8.99, or 3.8 per-cent, to $229.47 in midday trad-ing. There has been an increasing number of stock exchange merg-ers since the mid-2000s.

In 2006 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and CBOT Holdings

Inc. agreed to combine, and the New York Stock Exchange ac-quired Euronext NV and Archi-pelago Holdings.

A year later Nasdaq and Borse Dubai reached a deal to take over Nordic stock exchange opera-tor OMX AB, with Borse Dubai buying OMX and transferring ownership to Nasdaq in return for almost 20 percent stake in the new company and Nasdaq’s 28 percent stake in London Stock Exchange.

Also in 2007, CME Group Inc. acquired NYMEX Holdings Inc. ICE closed on its buyout of NYSE Euronext in 2013.(ap)

“We have been always highlight-ing the issue of migrant workers in every meeting consistently,” the minister said.

The minister attended the ASE-AN Foreign Minister Meeting (AMM) Retreat in Vientiane, Laos, from February 27 and 28.

The minister remarked that the government focused on the welfare and protection of migrant workers in ASEAN.

“There are thousands of Indone-sian migrant working in neighbor-ing countries in Southeast Asia,” the minister stated.

Therefore, the minister expected that ASEAN countries would arrive

at a deal for the establishment of legal instruments that guarantee the rights of migrant workers.

“There should be a preliminary agreement to formulate such legal instruments. Then, the instrument will be negotiated,” the minister said.

Earlier, Indonesian Foreign Af-fairs Minister urged the ASEAN member countries to work more closely to encourage the implemen-tation of the ASEAN Community as part of an effort to achieve concrete results and advantages.

The minister affirmed that ASE-AN should lead in establishing the regional architecture in the region and at the global level.

During the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting (AMM) Retreat, Marsudi also held a bilateral meet-ing with Singapores Foreign Minis-ter Vivian Balakhrisnan, and Acting Foreign Minister of Philippine Laura Q. Del Rosario to discuss bilateral cooperation.(ant)

SURABAYA - The Surabaya district court has sentenced two former police officers to six years imprisonment each in a case of drug abuse. The two former officers of the Surabaya city police also faced a fine of Rp800 million or another three months in jail, judge of the Surabaya district court Haryanto said here on Tuesday.

The convicts, identified by their initials as DF and MS, planned to appeal against the verdict. “We will appeal against it,” the two convicts told a panel of judges.

The sentence is one year less than what the public prosecutor, Suseno from the Surabaya public prosecutors office, had earlier sought. “I will also appeal against it,” the public prosecutor said replying to a question from judge Hariyanto.

The two former police officers have been declared guilty of com-mitting a conspiracy, possessing narcotics of type I.(ant)

JAKARTA - Another lawmaker Budi Supriyanto of the Golkar fac-tion, has been named a graft suspect by the Corruption Eradication Com-mission (KPK).

Budi of the Commission V of the Parliament was charged with accepting bribe from a construc-tion company PT Windhu Tunggul Utama (WTU) , which sought a contract to build projects of the pub-lic works ministry in Maluku, head of the public relations department of KPK Yuyuk Andriati said.

“The suspect allegedly received a gift from Abdul Khoir, the director of PT Windu Tunggal Utama to help

the company win the contract for the projects,” Yuyuk told reporters here on Wednesday.

KPK already arrested four other suspects in the same case including Abdul Khoir, Commission V law-maker Damayanti Wisnu Putranti of the ruling PDI-P faction, and two Damayantis assistants Dessy A Edwin (DES) and Julia Prasetyarini (UWI).

PT WTU bribed the lawmak-ers to ensure that it would win the contract to build the projects which were financed with Parliaments “aspiration fund” to be disbursed through the public works ministry.

The public works projects are to be built in Maluku including roads, and bridges on the islands of Seram.

KPK said it believed Damayanti and Budi were not the only lawmak-ers of the Commission V involved in the graft case.

KPK already raided the office room of another Commission V lawmaker Yudi Widiana Adia of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).

It has also asked the immigration office to ban Budi Supriyanto, and a businessman So Kok Seng alias Aseng from leaving the country for six months.(ant)

BANGKOK- Thailand’s junta is intensifying intimidation of aca-demics who criticise the generals efforts to stay in power by sending army officers to their homes, a Thai rights group said on Wednesday.

Since the military seized power nearly two years ago, at least 77 academics have been harrassed at home by officers advising them to adjust their critical mindset or ordered to attend camps for indoctrina-tion, according to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.

Those who attend the camps are usually released within a couple of days.

At least five academics have been forced into exile, said Poonsuk Poonsukcharoen, a member of the lawyers group, which provides legal aid and monitors rights violations in Thailand and is influential with international NGOs, the European Union and other foreign govern-ments.

“With legitimacy stretching thin and achievements falling flat, the junta feels the pressure to silence critics to maintain its power,” Poonsuk told Reuters.

The country’s generals have struggled to revive Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy after ousting a democratically elected gov-ernment in 2014 to end months of political unrest that was damaging business.

There have been scattered protests against military rule, but they were quickly quelled by troops and police.

Some Thais welcomed the coup after months of anti-government street protests, but critics accuse the military of delaying a return to democracy by pushing back the date for elections.

Rights groups say the junta has used authoritarian methods to sys-tematically repress rights and muzzle critics.

In a Feb. 24 report, Amnesty International said Thailand had dis-missed international calls not to silence dissent.

Last week, self-exiled prominent Thai academic Pavin Chachaval-pongpun took to social media to accuse the junta of intimidating his family in Thailand.

“To hunt me is already unacceptable. But for them to go after my family is really too much,” he told Reuters via Skype.

“This has to be the junta’s most daring move yet,” said Pavin who gives lectures abroad on the Thai monarchy, a sensitive subject that cannot openly be discussed in Thailand because of draconian royal insult laws.

Junta spokesman Colonel Winthai Suvaree denied that the military is pursuing academics with greater zeal and told Reuters he was unaware of any intimidation of Pavin’s family.

Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Pavin in June 2014, one month after the coup, for ignoring a junta summons to attend a military ‘attitude adjustment’ session while abroad. (rtr)

“China must not pursue milita-rization in the South China Sea,” Carter said in a wide-ranging speech at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. “Specific actions will have specific conse-quences.”

Asked what the consequences could be, Carter told reporters the U.S. military was already increasing deployments to the Asia-Pacific region and would spend $425 million through 2020 to pay for more exercises and training with countries in the region that were unnerved by China’s actions.

He said China’s behavior had fueled trilateral agreements that would have been “unthinkable” even a few years ago.

The United States has carried out several freedom of navigation exercises in the South China Sea

recent months, sailing near disputed islands to underscore its rights to navigate the seas. U.S. Navy offi-cials say they plan to conduct more and increasingly complex exercises in the future.

Carter said the Pentagon also planned to spend over $8 billion in fiscal 2017 alone to expand its fleet of powerful submarines and undersea drones.

“There is no question that there are consequences for these actions,” Carter said. “We have plans in all three of these categories. You’ll see them unfolding.”

Carter underscored the U.S. mili-tary’s determination to safeguard maritime security around the world, and particularly in the South China Sea region, which sees about 30 percent of the world’s trade transit its waters each year.

The U.S. defense chief also

took aim at both Russia and China for their actions to limit Internet access, as well as state-sponsored cyber threats, cyber espionage and cyber crime.

He said the Pentagon would spend $35 billion over the next five years to beef up cybersecurity and develop offensive cyber options to defeat the Islamic State militant group and other enemies.

In his prepared remarks, Carter drew a sharp contrast between such behavior by Russia and China and what he described as much healthier U.S. actions to preserve Internet freedom.

“We don’t desire conflict with either country,” he said. “But we also cannot blind ourselves to their apparent goals and actions.”

Carter also cited U.S. concerns about Chinese and Russian efforts to develop anti-satellite weapons that could destroy critical U.S. national security satellites, citing China’s 2007 anti-satellite test that created over 3,000 pieces of debris. (rtr)

DENPASAR - Fire incident hitting the Badung market on Monday (Feb. 29) is likely to have a significant impact on the economy of Denpasar, particularly the circulation of money in the Badung market. Due to quite a lot of transactions taking place in the market, daily turnover reaches IDR 10-15 billion. “Circulation of money in the market, both in the morn-ing and at night is quite a lot,” said Man-aging Director of PD Pasar Denpasar, I Made Westra, Tuesday (Mar. 1).

Seeing the fire incident afflicting to the Badung market, it can be made sure there is a vacuum condition in a rela-tively long time. For cooling down only, it can take as long as three days.

On that account, Westra immediately made coordination with local merchants in order to be able to do relocation. More-over, the land for relocation has been available, namely in the area of ex Tiara Grosir. “We are trying to quickly relocate so as to relieve the mind of merchants,” said Westra met after a meeting with relevant agencies in the meeting room of Deputy Mayor of Denpasar.

Aside from the circulation of money in general, the monthly revenue of PD Pasar Badung from the Badung Mar-ket reaches IDR 800 million. In other words, the amount of this revenue will be corrected as a result of the incident. (kmb12)

DENPASAR - Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2016 has become a hot issue. Some parties assume the AEC as a catastrophe, but others consider this op-portunities.

Chairman of Kadin Bali, AA Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, Monday (29/2) in a public discussion titled “Opportunities and Challenges of Bali Tourism in AEC’s Era” said AEC is economic warfare, ranging local, national and international scale. “We cannot lose and we have to win in our own homes,” he said.

He said Bali have a reliable workforce. He is confident with the quality of human resources and the businessmen of tourism sector. If supported by the correct regulation, he is optimistic Indonesia will win this economic war. Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) Bali, Perry Markus added competition in AEC definitely getting tougher. However, in line with Alit, he was optimistic that the tourism industry and the workers will be able to compete.

He instead concerned with competition of accommodation in Bali. Based on the results of the study, it was estimated that the number of rooms in Bali at around 130,000 rooms. “If number of foreign tourists visit reached 4 million and the movement of domestic tourists approximately 7 million with a stay of less than 4 days, the hotel occupancy in Bali just 30 percent. Do we need to issue more hotel permissions?” he asked.

CertificationsRelated to this competition in AEC, certification on human

resources is very important. To that end, Denpasar is seriously prepares for it. Head of Denpasar Tourism Office, Wayan Gunawan stated target of Denpasar in the tourism labor certification is in 2018 the entire workforce in Denpasar been certified.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Federation Unions of Tourism Workers (FSP Par) Bali, Putu Satyawira Marhaendra expressed that industry, government, and workers currently unprepared in facing AEC. He also explained that there are about 500,000 work-ers in Bali’s tourism industry. However, the number of workers that has been certified is still small compared to the total tourism sector workers.

He mentioned there is an impression that government only con-ducting certification based on formality. In another mean, certifica-tion is only the pursuit of quantity rather than quality. (kmb18)

MANY melancholic stories after the fire incident hitting the Badung market, Monday (Feb. 29). Moreover, some merchants claimed not to know if the market where they usually sell was engulfed in flames. “I’d like to open before 03:00 in the morning (yesterday—Ed). When arriving at the front (yard) there were a lot of people. I was so surprised. I just knew if the market was on fire,” said Ni ketut Ripek, the merchant of canang oblation and fruits on the first floor of the Badung Market, when met on Tuesday (Mar. 1).

Now, Ripek must stop her selling activities because all the goods were already burned. Only ruins are still left. “I do not know what to do. My mind is still chaotic seeing such market conditions,” she said, while looking at the condition of the first floor only leaving

debris.Similar condition was also recognized

by Ni Made Santi. This fruit merchant knew the fire incident from her son. However, she just could come yesterday morning. “I have been selling here since this market has not been in multi-storey building. So, I already experienced this kind of fire incident for three times. This is just like my paddy field,” said the merchant from Sidakarya.

When asked about their losses, Santi and Ripek claimed to be not too much because they usually purchase goods one day before the goods are resold at the Badung market. Now, they are very worried about how long they will not sell. This means, there will be no more income for their families. (ara)

HAVANA - Cuba reported its first case of Zika on Wednesday, diagnosed in a 28-year-old Ven-ezuelan doctor whose husband and brother-in-law previously contracted the virus in their home country.

The World Health Organiza-tion declared the Zika outbreak, suspected of causing thousands of birth defects in Brazil, an interna-tional health emergency on Feb. 1, although much about the virus remains unknown.

The patient arrived in Cuba on Feb. 21 to take a post-graduate course in medicine along with 37 others.

She reported a fever a day later and was diagnosed with Zika on Monday. She was recovering well in hospital, the Health Ministry said in a statement on Wednes-day.

Her husband was diagnosed with Zika two months ago and her brother two weeks before she trav-eled, the statement said.

Zika is carried by mosquitoes, which transmit the virus to hu-mans, though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said on Feb. 23 it was investigating possible cases of sexual transmission.

The outbreak has spread to many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean and the WHO esti-mates Zika could eventually affect as many as four million people in the region.

The Cuban government, which has fumigated neighborhoods and homes for decades to contain den-gue -- also a mosquito-borne virus and a close cousin of Zika -- put doctors on alert for the virus weeks ago and ramped up mosquito eradi-cation efforts.

The WHO is investigating a “strongly suspected” relationship between Zika and microcephaly, a condition marked by abnormally small head size. There is no vac-cine or treatment for the virus and some 80 percent of people infected show no symptoms. (rtr)

The justices are taking up the biggest case on the topic in nearly a quarter century Wednesday, con-sidering whether a Texas law that regulates abortion clinics hampers a woman’s constitutional right to obtain an abortion.

The clinics want the court to roll back regulations requiring doctors who perform abortions to have ad-mitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forcing clinics to meet standards for outpatient or ambulatory surgical centers. Like other states, mainly in the South, Texas says it passed the measure to protect women’s health.

Justice Anthony Kennedy prob-ably holds the deciding vote on the eight-justice court. He already joined with the court’s four liberal members to block some restrictions from taking effect while the case is on appeal.

If Kennedy sides with the liberal justices, the case could stand as an important reaffirmation of the stan-dard the court first laid out in 1992 that allows states to regulate abortion provided the restrictions do not impose “an undue burden” on a woman’s right to an abortion.

Scalia’s death means it is likely that Texas can get no more than four votes on a court that has been

starkly divided over abortion between conservatives and liberals. A 4-4 tie in this case would leave Texas’ law standing, because the federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled for the state. Such an outcome would allow Texas to put the regulations into full effect. The clinics say no more than about 10 facilities will remain open, where there once were more than 40 before the law was enacted in 2013.

If the court is evenly divided, the justices could decide to re-hear the case once a new colleague joins them. President Barack Obama says he will nominate a successor to Scalia. But Senate Republicans, backed by the party’s presidential candidates, have pledged to keep Scalia’s seat empty so that the next president can fill it.

Separately, the justices also are weighing an emergency appeal from clinics in Louisiana. The same federal appeals court has allowed that state’s admitting privileges law to take effect while a legal challenge winds its way through the courts, even after a trial judge struck it down as unconstitu-tional. The case is being appealed.

A military truck carries out fumigation in a neighborhood to stop the breeding of the dengue mosquito in Havana March 1, 2016. Cuba conducts regular fumigation inside homes to check the spread of dengue, a virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito that causes a fever which can be deadly. The same mosquito can also spread the Zika virus, although the Cuban government says there have been no reported cases of the disease in the country.

AMLAPURA — Deputy Regent of Karangasem, Wayan Artha Dipa, regretted the existence of many new village names. Moreover, they have nothing to do with the history of the vil-lage. When opening a health charity pro-gram at Biaslantang, Purwakerthi village, Saturday (Feb. 27), he said that the new village names are confusing.

This man from Sangkan Gunung, Sidemen, exempli-fied the name Pur-wakerthi village is often confused with the name Nawakerthi village equally lo-cated in Abang sub-district. Since earliest times there has been the name of Amed hamlet at Purwak-erthi. The name has been very well known and even worldwide. From time immemorial, it has been known as one of the ports and even suspected of having been frequently dropped in by Chinese traders. “Why does it not use the name ‘Amed village’ that has been widely known, for example?

“Amed has been widely known, even people of Jakarta can easily trace along with the coordinate points. If using a new name, people will get confused and even when seeking help will be difficult because people do not really know,” he said.

As observation, in addition to a bustling coastal fishing village, Amed has been evolving lately. Now, Amed Beach has become a tourist attraction supported by many villas, hotels and restaurants. Tourist accommodation rapidly expanding has even displaced the traditional salt farming area. Before developing into a tourism area, numerous traditional boats fell in line along the gently sloping beach and the salt farming land of local people spread behind them near the mainland. As the land gets pushed and sold by the owners, the traditional salt farming tools have finally vanished.

Now, foreign travelers and local people mingle, some take a bath or swim on the black sandy beach in the afternoon. Acting headman Made Cekeb and Chief of the Village Representatives, Nyoman Koria, said the village is inhabited by 5,000 people. They settle at five administrative hamlets.

On the beach, some fishing boats are parked in a row amounting to hundreds of units. Unfortunately, all this time the beach looks poorly arranged. It is rather dirty due to marine debris. A pigsty owned by local village seems to directly overlook the beach. In addition, there is also a fish landing base during fish season.

“When fishermen harvest fish, lots of fish are landed. There are also fish refrigerator and fish brining house,” said a fisherman, Monday.

The fisherman claimed to have stood idle for about a month. It happened because of a few fish stock. If there are more stocks, in addition to Kusamba, the fish is also sent to Buleleng and even to Jembrana.

At Purwakerthi namely Lebah hamlet, several families remain to carry out traditional salt farming. In this rainy season, they automatically take day off because traditional salt farming needs a lot of sunlight to evaporate seawater for leaving white crystallized salt. Salt farming land has run low as widely used for hotel. Most owners have sold their land because all this time they consider the salt farming is not longer profitable. (013)

Head of the Operations Division of the Gianyar Police, Ketut Dana, said although they have recorded 1,203 ogoh-ogoh in the District of Gianyar it is expected that more will be recorded as the day approaches. “Based on our initial data collec-tions, there are 1,203 ogoh-ogoh but they will only be paraded on Pengerupukan –there will be no competions for each sub-district as they have been in previous years”.

Dana added that following the results of a coordination meeting that took place at the headquarters of Gianyar Police on Monday (Feb. 29), with related agencies, it was agreed that more than one thousand joint personnel of the Indonesian Military (TNI) and National Police (Polri) and other security forces will be deployed to ensure security for

Nyepi -especially during the cel-ebration of Pengerupukan. “In total there will be 1,016 joint personnel engaged in security, including a pla-toon of troops from the Bali Police Mobile Brigade” he explained.

During the week long celebra-tions leading up to Nyepi, the Gi-anyar Police will also be conducting Operation Creating Conditions I 2016 (Cipkon) form March 4-8th. “ Security personnel will be divided into two teams that will conduct raids in anticipation of disturbances to social order and security during the melasti processions (ritual pro-cession to the ocean for purifica-tion)” explained Dana.

When asked about traffic secu-rity during the melasti processions, Dana said that all subdistrict police chiefs have held coordination

meetings and their personnel will be backed up by the ranks of the Gianyar Police, especially from the Gianyar Police Traffic Unit. “In the meeting each customary village also agreed to coordinate the implementation of their respec-tive melasti processions, including creating a schedule for each beach so as to prevent any problems”, he said.

Dana also disclosed that the melasti procesions of custom-ary villages in the subdistrict of Tegallalan will be the first to go to Purnama Beach. The peak of the melasti processions will occur between March 3-6th. “ We hope that all the different communi-ties will take part in the melasti processions in a safe and orderly manner”, he said.

Because of this practically every few days a cer-emony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galun-

gan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Sara-swati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.

The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious

celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.

The celebration is very color-ful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decora-tions of carved wood and some-

times painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.

In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or at-

However, the existing infrastruc-ture and accommodation causes the development of Bukit Abah expected to be an agrotourism to be unable to be realized. To that end, the Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, has allocated fund for road repair valued at IDR 2.5 billion. With the im-provement of infrastructure at Bukit Abah, the community’s economy is expected to increase with the tourism development at Bukit Abah.

In addition to having a beautiful view over the hills, most people at Besan village have profession as palm sugar tapper. The area also looks very beautiful with a variety of plants cultivated by residents on the road side to the summit of Bukit Abah. When visiting the Bukit Abah, Regent I Nyoman Suwirta admitted that many villas have been estab-lished in the region.

According to him, this proves the

potential of Bukit Abah as tourist attraction that is worth visiting. In addition to offering pristine nature with a variety of trees, Bukit Abah also has magnificent view showing off the beauty of southern coast of Bali. “Bukit Abah has great potential to become an agrotourism. Moreover, there is monkey that can become a tourist attraction,” he said.

However, to realize it is required investors that are able to work on the Bukit Abah into agro-tourism. Regent Suwirta revealed that related to the road damage, this year the local government has allocated a fund of IDR 2.5 billion to repair all the roads going to Bukit Abah. According to Regent Suwirta, the road damage at Bukit Abah is mainly caused by the contour of the land and rainwater. Heavy rain causes rainwater to flood and erode the road. “It should be strived for higher road construction

so that rainwater does not inundate the roads,” he added.

Additionally Bukit Abah also has a natural school named Preschool. Establishment of the learning center was conducted independently to instill the love for nature and teach children about the basic knowledge of English for free. The school is open every Saturday and Sunday when kids are off at school. At this learning center, children aged 7 and 15 years old are taught to maintain their environment by picking up plastic waste on the street and in front of people’s houses. “With this free education, children around the Besan village and Bukit Abah will perform positive activities by learn-ing about nature and basic English,” said Nengah Supastawa, initiator of the natural school. A total 60 children are participating in this activity. (dwa)

Seeing the massive rejection by Balinese people against the rec-lamation, he hoped not to touch their sacred feelings. Officials in Bali or in Jakarta as well as the investors wishing to reclaim should understand about Balinese people. “In principle, if people want to make anything, they can really do. In the sky they can make a hotel. However, they should consider first because Balinese people are different. Their value and sense cannot be negotiated with money though. For that, never touch the dignity of Balinese people,” he explained.

Seeing the silence of the leaders, he added, public suspicion of collusion behind all of these is getting higher. Properly, the leaders of Bali must respond to their actions transparently. “It means, if the reclamation plan brings in problems for Bali, well... tell like that because the issue of Benoa Bay reclamation project has been spread throughout the world. Do not consider them (Balinese people—Ed) a small person and to have no power as well as never consider this a trivial thing,” he said.

He added though behind it there are great people having money, Bali may not be harmed. Other than having to be transparent, the lead-ers must be able to also say not to continue and result in a conflict, so that the project is delayed. “It can be said that the project is postponed for some 10 years, 100 years or next. It will be handled later on. Well, currently where are the leaders? Why do they keep silent? If people have got an answer, they will turn quiet,” he said.

Besides, he also added that so far no leaders of Bali tell like that (they say neither agreement nor disagreement—Ed). He very much hoped if the leaders will speak up to respond to what Balinese people do. At least, there is a definite answer that should be heard by the pub-lic. “If I were them, I would say the project is delayed. However, will the officials dare to say so (delay—Ed)? Who will be opposed if our leaders do not dare? So, simply resign from the office,” he said curtly while saying that he rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation plan.

He added what Balinese people do so far, like speaking up by demonstrations to reject the reclamation, is the ethics of Balinese people applying eastern custom. They do not want to blaspheme others. On that account, the leaders should understand intelligently about the people’s desire. According to him, people should not make problems in Bali. Most importantly, let Balinese people be peaceful so that their children can go to school well. “Do not disrupt them with harming things,” he added. (kmb21)

The rejection against the reclamation plan can become conflicts if it is not managed properly.

Food, water and shelter are in short supply for the rising number of families gathering at the border between the two countries.

The United Nations High Commis-sioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says better planning and more accommodation must be provided for some 24,000 people who are stuck in Greece. A refugee stands next to a tent at a relocation camp where stranded refugees and migrants wait to cross the Greek-Macedonian border, near the Greek village of Idomeni

A refugee stands near a tent on the Greece-Macedonia border “Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humani-tarian crisis,” UN refugee agency spokes-man Adrian Edwards said. “The crowded conditions are leading to shortages of food, shelter, water and sanitation.

It comes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said clashes at Greece’s northern border on Monday showed the urgency with which the EU needs to act.

Army trucks have been stationed at a railway line near the southern Macedo-nian town of Gevgelija in anticipation of more trouble after hundreds stormed the border - prompting police to fire tear gas as several migrants were nearly trampled

and one officer injured. Near Idomeni on the Greek-Macedonian border itself a tent city has grown, leading to anger among those trapped there. “Macedonian police put us here, the Greeks don’t want us back,” said Yase Qued, a 16-year-old from Afghanistan.

Many refugees have been caught in Greece after Austria and other countries imposed restrictions on their borders, limiting the number of people allowed to cross. Police chiefs from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, meeting in Belgrade, agreed to improve the system of joint registration of refugees to unblock gridlocks in Greece.

Some 131,724 refugees have crossed the Mediterranean already this year, more than in the first half of 2015, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).(rtr)

West Brom dent Leicester’s title charge, Chelsea win again

LOS ANGELES — Just when it was looking like animated animal movies had run out of anything original to say, along comes the smartly amusing, crisply relevant “Zootopia” to handily demonstrate there’s still plenty of bite left in the anthropomorphic CG menagerie.

Boasting a pitch perfect voice cast led by a terrific Ginnifer Goodwin as a righteous rural rabbit who becomes the first cotton-tailed police recruit in the mammal-centric city of “Zootopia,” the 3-D caper expertly combines keen wit with a gentle, and very timely, mes-sage of inclusivity and empowerment.

The engaging result should easily appeal to all creatures great and small, giving this pre-mium Walt Disney Animation Studios effort a paw up on spring break entertainment, not to mention the summer arrival of Universal’s animated “The Secret Life of Pets.”

As the Zootopia Police Department’s sole bunny officer, idealistic Judy Hopps (Goodwin) discovers that breaking barriers can be an uphill climb, especially when the other cops in the force are mainly of the more imposing elephant/rhino/hippo ilk.

Although intrepid Judy can’t wait to col-lar her first perp, Bogo (Idris Elba), Precinct 1’s gruff cape buffalo police chief, has other plans, assigning her to parking duty, where she proves her worth by writing 200 tickets before noon on her first day.

But when a number of “Zootopia’s” resi-dents abruptly go missing, Bogo gives Judy the green light to do some big time police work and she finds herself partnering up with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a sly, world-weary scam artist of a fox, in a 48-hour bid to crack the case.

Nimbly directed by Byron Howard (“Tan-gled,” ‘’Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph”), along with co-director Jared Bush, who shares screenplay credit with Phil John-

ston, the romp serves up plenty of sharply observed satire (a DMV manned entirely by sloths is played to hilariously protracted ef-fect) wrapped up in judicious life lessons that never feel preachy or shoehorned-in.

While Goodwin and Bateman are a voice-casting dream team come true as a dysfunc-tional duo who learn to follow their instincts over preconceived notions, they’re joined by a nicely diverse supporting ensemble that also includes J.K. Simmons, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer and Shakira as a gazelle pop star who performs the film’s original song, “Try Everything,” co-written by hit-makers Sia and Stargate.

Also making their lines count are Jenny Slate as a not-so-sheepish sheep who serves as “Zootopia’s” predator-averse assistant mayor and Maurice LaMarsh as an arctic shrew ver-sion of Don Corleone named Mr. Big.

Visually, the “Zootopia” canvas pops — with or without the 3-D glasses — thanks to a gorgeously vibrant color palette and whimsical architectural scales orchestrated by production designer David Goetz. His work is in keeping with an all-mammal parallel universe comprised of distinct microclimates like sunny Bunnyburrow, icy Tundratown and self-explanatory Little Rodentia. (ap)

The band added the Concert for Amity show - likely to be the biggest rock concert ever staged in Cuba - to a Latin American tour that had been due to end on March 17 in Mexico City.

The performance will come three days after U.S. President Barack Obama is due to conclude a visit to Cuba, the first by an American president since 1928. Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro announced in December 2014 they would seek to normal-ize relations after more than half a century of Cold War animosity.

The concert, which will be filmed, is set to take place on fields surrounding Havana’s Ciudad Deportiva, a 26-hectare (64-acre) sports complex. It will mark the first open-air concert in Cuba by a British rock band, the group said.

“We have performed in many special places during our long career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event for us and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba too,” the band said in a statement ac-companied by an image of its four current members - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

After the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro, Raul’s brother, to power the Caribbean nation censured the group formed in London in 1962, as well as the Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Fidel Castro ultimately lamented the mu-sic censorship and attended the unveiling of a statue of late former Beatle John Lennon in a Havana park on the 20th anniversary of his death on Dec. 8, 2000.

“I very much regret not having known you before,” Castro said during the cer-emony.

At the statue on Tuesday, tour guide Julio Garcia reacted with joy to the news of the Stones’ visit, which was filtering out slowly on the island.

“Los Rolling in Cuba? Wow!” he said. “We have been waiting for them here for many years.”

Armando Gonzalez, 57, drove up in a blue and white Chevrolet built in 1954, before either the revolution or the Rolling Stones had tasted success.

“Their music has no borders,” he said. “Now there is an opening and we will be able to enjoy them fully.” (rtr)

Review: Disney’s ‘Zootopia’ is wildly entertaining

DENPASAR - The struggle of Balinese p e o p l e r e -lated to rejec-tion against

the Benoa Bay reclamation plan

continues to be inflamed. Even though various measures have been

undertaken such as demonstration, sending letters of rejection and oth-ers, the leaders of Bali and central government seem to keep silent. Though seeing such massive rejec-tion, no leaders, either the executive or the legislative, speak up so far.

One of the environmental observ-ers, Prof. Dr. Putu Rumawan Salain, said on Monday (Feb. 29) that seeing

the silence of the leaders in Bali, he worried what Balinese people do all this time is considered to have no courage because when calling out continuously, they are considered to scream nonsense. “In principle, smart leaders must look at the situ-ation as it is today. If this is not managed well, it means the desire of customary people is not mediated.

More worryingly, horizontal conflict can steadily heat up,” he said.

Thus, the leaders of Bali are asked not to go blind and deaf, but they should be able to see the reality. In other words, no matter how small the rejection related to the reclamation plan at Benoa Bay is, it is an aspiration and should be quickly responded. This is done to

prevent undesirable things. “Our senior figures tell us it is just like the proverb ‘One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel.’ That is, do not let Bali be broken. If the reclamation project is promising this or that, let it be in another place,” he said.

EU On Brink Of Refugee ‘Humanitarian Crisis’

Europe faces a “self-induced humanitarian crisis” as thousands of refugees are caught between the border of Greece and Macedonia.
