Charlie Sheen sued over incident at dentist Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A dental technician who says Charlie Sheen punched her in the chest during an office visit is suing the actor for assault and battery. Margarita Palestino filed the lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles seeking unspecified damages from the “Anger

Management” star. Her lawsuit accuses Sheen of attacking her during a dental appointment on Sept. 25, including punching her in the chest and grabbing her bra. Los Angeles police said Thursday that they have an active investigation into the incident, but could not release further details. Sheen’s publicist Jeff Ballard referred

Sheen had an adverse reaction to the combination of nitrous oxide and pain medication he was taking for a shoulder injury and that Sheen knocked over dental instruments, Ballard said Thursday. But other elements of the woman’s story were not true, Ballard said.

“Gone Girl” surfaces at top North American box office Agence France-Presse

LOS ANGELES - “Gone Girl” surfaced at the top of the North American box office in its debut weekend in theaters, earning $38 million, according to industry estimates Sunday. The mystery-drama starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry, is based on the bestselling book of the same name by Gillian Flynn about a husband who becomes the prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife. Debuting close behind in second place, with $37.2 million, was horror flick “Annabelle” about a supernatural doll. Meanwhile action-thriller “The Equalizer” starring Denzel Washington dropped from first into third place with

$19 million. And “The Boxtrolls,” an animated film about an orphaned boy raised underground by friendly monsters, slid to fourth place with $12.4 million. In fifth was “The Maze Runner,” based on James Dashner’s best-selling 2007 young-adult dystopian novel of the same name, taking in $12 million. “Left Behind,” starring Nicolas Cage, debuted in sixth place with $6.9 million, and was adapted from the book series of the same name. The story, loosely based on the Bible’s

interpretation of end times, centers on a group of people who survive after most of the world’s population is wiped out. Comedy-drama “This Is Where I Leave You” earned $4 million in ticket sales, coming in seventh place. In eighth place was “Dolphin Tale 2,” a family-friendly sequel starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, which earned $3.5 million. The summer season’s most successful blockbuster, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” slid to ninth place, adding another $3 million to its 10-week haul, which now stands at $323 million. Rounding out the top ten was thriller “No Good Deed,” about a devoted wife and mother who helps out a charming but dangerous escaped convict played by Idris Elba, with $2.5 million

Associated Press

SYDNEY — After a four-month hiatus, the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is about to resume in a desolate stretch of the Indian Ocean, with searchers lowering new equipment deep beneath the waves in a bid to finally solve one of the world’s most perplexing aviation mysteries. The GO Phoenix, the first of three ships that will spend up to a year hunting for the wreckage far off Australia’s west coast, is expected to arrive in the search zone Sunday, though weather could delay its progress. Crews will use sonar, video cameras and jet fuel sensors to scour the water for any trace of the Boeing 777, which disappeared March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The search has been on hold for

months so crews could map the seabed in the search zone, about 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) west of Australia. The 60,000-square kilometer (23,000-square mile) search area lies along what is known as the “seventh arc” — a stretch of ocean where investigators believe the aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed, based largely on an analysis of transmissions between the plane and a satellite. Given that the hunt has already been peppered with false alarms — from underwater signals wrongly

thought to be from the plane’s black boxes to possible debris fields that turned out to be trash — officials are keen to temper expectations. “We’re cautiously optimistic; cautious because of all the technical and other challenges we’ve got, but optimistic because we’re confident in the analysis,” said Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the agency leading the search. “But it’s just a very big area that we’re looking at.” That area was largely unknown to scientists before the mapping process began in May. Two ships have been surveying the seabed using on-board multibeam sonar devices, similar to a fish-finder. The equipment sends out a series of signals that determine the shape and hardness of the terrain below,

allowing officials to create threedimensional maps of the seabed. Those maps are considered crucial to the search effort because the seafloor is riddled with deep crevasses, mountains and volcanoes, which could prove disastrous to the pricey, delicate search equipment that will be towed just 100 meters (330 feet) above the seabed. Two of the search ships will be using underwater search vessels worth around $1.5 million each. “You can imagine if you’re towing a device close to the seafloor, you want to know if you’re about to run into a mountain,” said Stuart Minchin, chief of the environmental geoscience division at Geoscience Australia, which has been analyzing the mapping data. The terrain isn’t the only challenge. The area is prone to brutal weather,

and is so remote that it takes vessels up to six days to get there from Australia. Water depths are also tricky: They range from 600 meters (2,000 feet) to 6.5 kilometers (4 miles). That’s about the deepest the sonar equipment can go, Dolan said. “In all sorts of ways we’re operating towards the limits of the technology that is available,” Dolan said. With the mapping nearly complete, the GO Phoenix, provided by Malaysia’s government, will begin hunting in an area considered the likeliest crash site, based on an analysis of satellite data gleaned from the plane’s jet engine transmitter and a series of unanswered phone calls officials on the ground made to the plane.

2015, sediment of Lake Batur to be dredged Bali Post

BANGLI - Normalization of Lake Batur by carrying out a dredging to sediment at the bottom of the lake will be conducted in the near future. As per the government plan, the sediment dredging of Lake Batur will be worked on in 2015. Meanwhile, based on lake area calculation and sedimentation occurred within the past few years, the mud to be uplifted is estimated to reach 208,000 cubic meters or about 3,000 trucks. The dredging plan of Lake Batur was conveyed by the Division Head of the Environmental Impact Management, the Bangli Environment Agency, Gusti Laksana, Sunday (Oct 5). As the result of the recent meeting attended by Bangli Environment Agency in Jakarta, he revealed the Lake Batur got the first priority for the handling from the Ministry of Environment. Lake Batur was listed as one of the 10 lakes in Indonesia undergoing significant damage. So, the normalization effort was deemed necessary to be done immediately. “From the results of meeting, it was revealed that Lake Batur will be used as the first pilot project of the 10 lakes getting priority to be handled by the Ministry of Environment. It happens because Lake Batur is a tourism lake that also integrates with the geopark,” he explained. According to the plan of central government, he said the dredging of Lake Batur sediment was going to begin in 2015. It

would be carried out with high-tech equipment. The dredging sludge would be used for the backfill of the former quarry area at Songan village. Before dredging, the Bangli Environment Agency would propose to central government in order that it remained to pay attention to indigenous wisdom of the communities living around the lake. “During the dredging process, the indigenous wisdom will remain to be noticed, both before and after the process,” he added. He added that the dredging process of Lake Batur was ascertained to take considerable time. After the dredging process completed, the handling of Lake Batur would also be resumed with the making of dykes, creation of green belt of Lake Batur, reforestation and change the behavior of the existing residents around the lake through education. All of these aspects had been included in the normalization planning of the Lake Batur for the next 5 years. (ina)

BANGLI - Fire incidents continue to plague the forest area in Kintamani, Bangli. Since Thursday (Oct 2) through Sunday (Oct 5), at least three points of forest location were reported to be on fire in the Mount Abang forest, around the Jati Temple area and Batu Kandik, Kintamani. The Head of Penelokan Forest Management Resort (RPH), Ketut Tileh, as confirmed on Sunday (Oct 5) said that the forest fire since last Thursday took place in the protected forests of Mount Abang, Kintamani. The fire engulfing the grass and rose gum was quite difficult to be extinguished as located in a very steep area. When the fire incident occurred, the forest management could only do monitoring. “Based on our observation this morning, the fire was still burning. We have not been able to put it out due to steep location,” he said. Based on estimation, the forest area having been on fire on Mount Abang since last Thursday reached an area of 15 hectares.

Other than on Mount Abang, forest fire also occurred in the forest area near the Jati Temple on Friday (Oct 4). Unlike on Mount Abang, the fire incident reaching into the tourism forest could be immediately extinguished at that time. It was enabled as the fire could still be afforded by the officers. “As handled immediately, only a few of the forest areas (near Jati Temple—Ed) was on fire,” he explained while adding that his party had also received a report on the forest fire occurred at Batu Kandik, Kintamani. When asked about the cause of fire at the three locations, Tileh could not ascertain it. But he suspected if the fire occurred due to negligence of an unscrupulous individual throwing cigarette butts carelessly into the forest area. Such allegation was based on the fires of Mount Abang where it originally occurred on the land owned by local resident which gradually extended to the forest area. Aggravated by the dry and hot weather condition lately, the fire spread quickly. (ina)

Prolonged drought, many paddy fields in Selemadeg crack Bali Post SINGARAJA - Prolonged drought this year has caused the water discharge of big river becoming the source of irrigation water to diminish. As a result, almost all the agricultural areas face drought or lack for irrigation water. Even, the paddy fields in the Tabanan regions like Selemadeg subdistrict have cracked due to the drought. By all means, this condition is very worrying because farmers can experience crop failure. Prayers and hopes of farmers in order that rainy season comes soon to enable their rice harvest seems to start gradually has vanished. As the impact of this drought, the irrigation building turns useless while farmers claim to only surrender to condition because their paddy plants dry up and die. “Our irrigation channel remains good but no water flows, so the impact is the same, our paddy plants dry up,” said Wayan Mandra aka Pan Sukeni, 71, a farmer from Delod Sema hamlet, Serampingan, Selemadeg. Cracked paddy fields can be seen nearly across the cultivation area of farmers in the Selemadeg subdistrict area. Nevertheless,

some farmers took advantage of the heat of sun to dry their grain, but the amount was only some few. Other than in Selemadeg area, similar condition also occurs in the East Selemadeg precisely in the area of Subak Aseman located at Tegal Mengkeb village, East Selemadeg. Even, to deal with the impact of drought, local farmers were looking for a way out by cultivating crops such as corn and red beans in the hope that their land remained productive enough to produce food supply in this dry season. Chief of Subak Aseman, Made Budiarsa, explained that to anticipate the prolonged drought, he along with other subak members preferred to plant crops like corn and red bean. It was based on consideration that the plants did not require much water. The variety of corn grown was bisi-2 hybrid. With the cropping pattern of rice-crop-rice, he said, he had managed to produce up to 8.7 tons of corn per hectare. “Water is our obstacle during dry season. If this condition continues, we can only harvest 6-7 tons per hectare of corn at the price of IDR 1,700 per kilogram,” he said recently. (kmb28)

When the Nobel prize is a family affair Agence France-Presse

Five warships deploy to secure BDF Antara

DENPASAR - Five Indonesian warships were deployed in Bali waters to secure the Seventh Bali Democracy Forum that is scheduled to be held on October 10-11, 2014, in Nusa Dua, Badung District of Bali.

STOCKHOLM - Since the creation of the Nobel prizes in 1901, six children have followed in the footsteps of their parents, becoming Nobel laureates themselves. A seventh won the award jointly with his father in 1915 at the tender age -- in Nobel terms -- of 25. The Curie family alone clocked up a grand total of five awards: two to Marie Curie, who first won the physics prize 1903 with her husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel, and then the chemistry distinction in 1911. Irene, her eldest child, was awarded the chemistry Nobel with her husband Pierre Joliot in 1935. For Ulrika Bjoerksten, director of science programmes at Swedish public radio, the appearance of Nobel families down through the decades “shows the importance of social inheritance”. Some might argue that Irene Joliot-Curie, Aage Bohr and Roger Kornberg -- all prize winners with Nobel laureate parents -- had the advantage of finding it easier to gain recognition for their work and be nominated by their peers. But Nobel Museum curator Gustav Kaellstrand disagrees. “They all had a parent who succeeded in transmitting their interest,” said Nobel Museum senior curator Gustav Kaellstrand, adding that “having a well-known name doesn’t favour the candidates”. For the Nobel committees, which choose the winners and keep their deliberations secret for 50 years, being the child of an existing laureate is neither a handicap nor an advantage. “Having been nominated is a sign of competence,” Kaellstrand said, adding that growing up in a scientific environment makes people better at surrounding themselves with the right people. “Laureates know how to find a creative setting that fosters (research). And their children, who grow up in that creative setting, know how to recognise them. Also, they have natural access to the research world,” he said. But they still have to prove themselves, he said, referring to Denmark’s Aage Bohr, who received the physics prize in 1975, 53 years after his father, Niels Bohr. “Aage Bohr didn’t win the Nobel because his father was called Niels Bohr, he had to do something extraordinary himself.” Marie Curie’s grandson Pierre Joliot told AFP that his prizewinning mother Irene Joliot-Curie “fell into the magic potion when she was a child, she most probably never asked herself if she wanted to be a researcher or not,” Joliot said. “She quickly became one of her mother’s main research colleagues, and she clearly was very much influenced by her.” US Nobel medicine laureate Arthur Kornberg, who won the award in 1959, never worked with his son Roger, who got the chemistry prize in 2006, but he said in an interview with US broadcaster PBS that he used to take his children to his laboratory at weekends. His son was so marked by the experience that, aged eight or nine, he asked to spend a week among microscopes and test tubes as a Christmas present. Kaellstrand believes parents play a key role is shaping laureates. They all have “parents who taught them how to think... and stimulated their reflection.” But he added that another factor was perhaps even more important. “An American researcher showed in the 1970s -- and it’s still relevant today -- that very many laureates have had a Nobel prize winner as their research supervisor.” “The ones that succeed in getting the Nobel are the ones that succeed in surrounding themselves with other smart and open people.” This year, the laureates will be announced between October 6 and 13. According to some experts, Swedish researcher Svante Paeaebo, son of the 1982 medicine laureate Sune Bergstroem, could win an award for his work on the DNA of the Neanderthals.

Commander of Denpasar Naval Base Colonel Julius Widjojono remarked here on Monday that the five Indonesian warships were KRI Surabaya, KRI Ahmad Yani, KRI Weling, KRI Pulau Rimau, and KRI Singa. “We deployed five warships to anticipate security disturbances that may surface from the maritime territory, especially from the prone area around Benoa Harbor, Denpasar,” Colonel Julius Widjojono emphasized. The warships have been stationed for the past several days to conduct maritime patrols in the Balinese waters. The authority will restrict water sport activities such as parasailing in some parts of the sea territory, so that the take-off and landing of aircraft are not interrupted due to proximity to the Ngurah Rai International Airport. The Denpasar Naval Base will also deploy 200 personnel to six security posts around the Benoa Harbor for ensuring marine security. Four heads of government from Southeast Asian countries are expected to take part in the two-day Bali Democracy Forum (BDF) starting on Oct 10.

“So far four heads of state including President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono are expected to attend the Seventh BDF,” commander of BDF the security task force Brig. Gen. Ruslian Hariadi said on Monday. The other three heads of government include Philippine President Benigno Aquino, East Timor Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, and Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The meeting of Asia Pacific foreign ministers will discuss regional cooperation in political and democracy development. This year, the theme of the forum is to strengthen the democracy architecture to meet the regional challenges in political and democracy development. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is to open the forum, which would be the last BDF to be attended by the outgoing president. Yudhoyono is to hand over the presidency to president elect Joko Widodo on August 20. A number of non governmental organizations are also invited to attend the forum such as the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) and Perludem.

Scientists stretch haul of height-related genes Agence France-Presse

PARIS - Scientists said Sunday they had pinpointed nearly 700 genetic variations that determine human height, more than tripling the haul in research that could aid the fight against stature-related diseases. An international team compared the DNA of more than 250,000 people, looking for genetic variations that could explain differences in height. They found 697 single changes in the genetic code, located in 424 regions, the experts reported in the journal Nature Genetics. This represents about 20 percent

of all genetic variants which are believed to play a part in determining height, they said. The previous tally was 12.5 percent. The remaining variants still have to be discovered. “This goes a long way towards fulfilling a scientific curiosity that could have real impact in the treatment of diseases that can be influenced by height,” said Tim Frayling, a professor at the University of Exeter in southwestern England. These included osteoporosis, cancer or heart disease. “It is also a step forward towards a test that may reassure parents worried that their child is not growing

as well as they’d hoped -- most of these children have simply inherited a big batch of ‘short genes’.” Previous research had shown that inheritance accounts for more than 80 percent of the factors that determine height, the rest being nutrition and other “environmental” influences, the team pointed out. Scientific links have in the past been drawn between tallness and a greater risk of breast or prostate cancer and a smaller risk of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, shorter people tend to have longer lives, according to data. The reasons for this are unclear.

Tourists flocked at Tanah Lot, Tabanan Regency during holiday peak season. To anticipate rainy season, the infrastructure of Tanah Lot tourist attraction located Beraban village, Kediri, apparently starts to be arrayed.

TABANAN - To anticipate rainy season, the infrastructure of Tanah Lot tourist attraction located Beraban village, Kediri, apparently starts to be arrayed. It is evident from the construction activities at some locations at the tourist area. Operations Manager of the Tanah Lot tourist attraction, Ketut Toya Adnyana, said that the project had been running for around a month. It was meant to make some arrangements to pedestrian area and drainage. The budget allocated for the project amounted to IDR 1.5 billion. He continued that the arrangement was to anticipate the arrival of rainy season. The drainage was expected to cope with the overflow of water in large volumes thus avoiding puddles and flooding. According to him, the arrangement was attempted to accomplish as soon as possible so as not to disturb visitors. A number of domestic travelers from Bandung expected the faster project completion because the dust of the project was considered quite disturbing when entering midday. Similarly, it also kindled long queue of vehicles that should pass through in turn

as the road body was in the process of project completion. Based on the existing data, the number of tourist visit to the Tanah Lot tourist attraction tended to increase. Approximately 8,000 travelers made a visit to Tanah Lot each day. Such amount increased to 10,000 visitors on weekend and during holiday season increased to approximately 12,000 visitors per day. Characteristic of the visitors was determined by holiday season. According to Toya, during August to November the visitors would be dominated by foreigner, where about 60 percent belonged foreign travelers and 40 percent belonged domestic travelers. Meanwhile, in the remaining months was dominated by domestic travelers or 60 percent and foreign travelers reached 40 percent. Foreign travelers were dominated by guests from Australia, China and America. Such an increase was expected to exceed the tourist visit in previous years, where in 2013 reached 2,850,000 visitors, increasing from 2,500,000 in 2012. “Up to September 2014, there had been 2.3 million travelers. Until the end of this year, the tourist visit is estimated to reach 3 million,” said Toya. (kmb24)

A yacht drowned in the waters of Kubu Bali Post

AMLAPURA - A private yacht making a voyage from Serangan Island (Denpasar) to Jakarta was drowned in the waters of Kubu, Kubu subdistrict, Karangasem, Sunday (Oct 5) around 02:00 a.m. The sinking of the yacht carrying a German traveler was caused by a large leak in the hull. Six crews were unable to drain the water that eventually filled in the deck. The Sailing Cempaka Putri Yacht GT 10 made a voyage from Serangan Island, Denpasar to Jakarta carrying a passenger from Germany on behalf of Mahfred Weber, 40, and six crews. The yacht

was drowned in waters north of the Sukadana village, Kubu subdistrict, approximately 1 mile from the shoreline. Chief of Karangasem Marine Police, Made Wartama, revealed the

sinking of the yacht was caused by a large leak in the left keel. “Yes, a yacht has been indeed drowned in the waters of Kubu. But, we’ve done an evacuation,” he said when contacted on Sunday (Oct 5). According to him, the crews had drained the water coming into the yacht. However, due to a large enough leakage, the water entered into the yacht quickly so that the yacht deck was filled with seawater. “As recognition of the yacht captain, the yacht was drowned around the waters of Kubu subdistrict due

to keel leakage. The captain told that seawater very quickly came into the yacht, while crews were unable to drain the water,” said Wartama. When the ship sank, said Wartama, people on board panicked and tried to escape. One of the passengers and crews escaped by rowing lifeboat and landed on Sukadana Beach, Sukadana village, Kubu. A few minutes later, four personnel of Karangasem Marine Police assisted by three personnel of the Directorate of Bali

Covering 4 Hectares of land. The temple is surrounded by a large most, which used to be full of loins and lily flowers of all color, and around the edges of the moat can be found frangipani, cempaka, kenanga & other pcrftiined flowering trees, as well as mango stein, durian, manggo rambutan fruit trees. The temple has always been strongly influenced by the ups and downs at the Raja dom of Mengwi. ln l890 here was a war between the Rajas of Badung and Mengwi, and the I0 th. Raja Mengwi “I Gusti Made Agung” lost the battle, and had to retreat to escape with life in to the bordering eastern district. During the rule of the victorious Raja of Badung the temple was never looked after properly, and the temple buildings deteriorated due to lack of care. ln the year 1911 AD, part of the Royal Family returned to their family seat at Mengwi, and Pura Taman Ayun was restored. However on 20 th, January 1917 a violent earthquake damaged many of the existing buildings. Repairs have been done in stages to return the temple to its original condition. The odalan at Pura Taman Ayun falls every 2l0 days on a day known as “Selasa Kliwon Wuku Mendangsia”. Many tourists used to visit the temple, even, before the Second world War. The family of Puri Gede Mengwi still maintain the temple. Assisted by a committee made up of the lokal traditional leaders, such as the village officials from the Mengwi District.

North Korea’s No. 2 visits South for rare talks Associated Press

Portal to Yehembang Beach demolished

SEOUL — North Korea’s presumptive No. 2 and other members of Pyongyang’s inner circle met with South Korean officials Saturday in the rivals’ highest level face-to-face talks in five years, a possible indication that both sides are interested in pursuing better ties after months of animosity.

NEGARA - The matter of sea sand dredging at Yehembang apparently remains volatile. The attempt of customary village to install a portal on the road leading to the beach got anarchic reaction. The portal was dismantled and vanished on the following day after installation. It has not been yet known exactly who dismantled the portal on the edge of the beach. The incident caused the residents of Cita Nirmala Sari customary hamlet, Yehembang village, where the portal installed to complain. It was deliberately placed to prevent the perpetrators from freely coming down to sea with vehicle and dredging sea sand. Installation of the padlocked portal cost the people approximately IDR 600,000. As information obtained from resident on Sunday (Oct 5), the portal was built based on decision of hamlet meeting set forth in the bylaw

There appeared to be no major breakthrough from the meeting that came as the North’s delegation made a surprise visit to the close of the Asian Games in the South Korean port city of Incheon. But the countries agreed to hold another round of talks between the end of October and the beginning of November, according to a South Korean statement. The specific topics of Saturday’s discussions weren’t immediately known. Still, just the fact that North Koreans at the highest levels visited the South was significant, allowing valuable contact between confidants of North Korea’s authoritarian leader and senior South Korean officials after a year that has seen a steady stream of insults between the divided neighbors and an unusual number of North Korean missile and rocket test firings.

prohibiting the sand taking. The day after the meeting, people installed the padlocked portal. Installation of the padlock would enable people to open when local administrative or customary village needed sea sand for the interest of local temples or other public facilities. Such concrete and perforated iron portal was known to have disappeared. Allegedly the medium-sized iron was cut by using a hacksaw. The culprit also dismantled the concrete portal but so far it has not been known. Allegedly the culprits were the parties having been harmed by the portal installation. Resident knowing the portal demolition had reported it to local hamlet chief and headman. Since the demolition case belonged to crime, residents urged the case to be reported to police department. However, customary village authority prohibited as the issue would be resolved amicably. Headman of Yehembang, Gede

Ngurah Aryana, when confirmed by journalist confessed to have searched the culprit of the vandalism. However, it was not found yet so that local residents were suggested to participate in the search. As headman, he had many tasks to be prioritized related to customary village. If only dealing with the portal demolition, the other important tasks would be neglected. So, he expected the residents to actively get involved in the search. Headman of Yehembang, I Made Semadi, also claimed to have heard from residents related to the disappearance of the portal. He even had advised the resident to report the case to police department as it led to criminal action. On the other hand, Mendoyo Police authority had not received any report about the case. Chief of the Mendoyo Police, Wayan Sinaryasa, told reporters last Sunday that his party would deploy his personnel to recheck the case and anticipated the widespread issues. (kmb26)

One analyst called it a “golden opportunity” for South Korean President Park Geun-hye to test North Korea’s willingness to improve shaky ties. The South Korean statement said Park had been willing to meet with the Pyongyang officials, but the North Koreans were running out of time because they had to attend the Asian Games’ closing ceremonies. South Korea said its prime minister, largely a figurehead but technically the No. 2 position, met with the delegation later Saturday before the North Koreans left South Korea late in the evening to return home. The North Koreans were led by Hwang Pyong So, the top political officer for the Korean People’s Army and considered by outside analysts to be North Korea’s second most important official after supreme leader Kim Jong Un. Hwang is also a vice chairman of the powerful National

Defense Commission and a vice marshal of the army. Hwang and his delegation earlier had a closed-door lunch meeting with South Korean Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae and national security director Kim Kwan-jin. The visit comes amid rumors in Seoul about the health of Kim Jong Un, who has made no public appearances since Sept. 3 and skipped a high-profile recent event he usually attends. A recent official documentary showed footage from August of him limping and overweight and mentioned he had been feeling “discomfort.” This visit of “a very high-octane group” offers Park a unique chance “to test the North Korean leadership’s will and intentions,” said John Delury, an Asia specialist at Seoul’s Yonsei University. “Historically, North-South breakthroughs start from the top down, and if Park is serious that she wants to improve relations and jumpstart the reunification process, this is a golden opportunity.” Both sides expressed hope for better relations in comments to the media ahead of the private meeting.

Taman Ayun Temple

Pura Taman Ayun is a beautifully apointed temple, with its own surrounding moat, in the village at Mengwi, Badung Regency, 18 Km. West of Denpasar. The history of this temple is closely associated with the begining of the Rajadom of Mengwi, in 1627 B.C. it was built in 163-1AD. at the time at the rule of the first Raja of Mengwi. I Gusti Agung Ngurah Made Agung, who later become known as Ida Cokorda Sakti Belambangan. As the Royal Family temple of the Raja of Mengwi. This temple is a place to worship the Royal ancestors, who find their rest in a special shrine known as the “Gedong Paibon”. Following the Pattern of most Balinese temples, Pura Taman Ayun has three connecting temple yards. The innermost sanctum is knows- as “Utama Mandala” (the highest circle), the middle yard as. “Madia Mandala” (the circle in between) and the outer as “Nista Mandala” (the humblest circle). The enter the main sanctum one must pass through a raised Gate- way, known as the Kori Agung (Paduraksa), and the gate- way between the outer and middle connect in a split gate, known as “Candi Bentar”. Apart from the “Gedong Paibon”, dedicated to one ancestor, the middle courtyard are other shrines dedicated to the various main temples of Bali. These shrines were built by the 5 Raja to ensure that his Kingdom and people would be able to share in the prosperity and fertility of the nation, and also to enable all the people at Mengwi; to conduct the religious ceremonies at the temple, such as “meajar-ajar”, memendak sang Pitara” and to request holy water to protect the rice fields from pestilence, etc. There is also another shrine on the middle courtyard dedi-

HONG KONG — Student-led protests for democratic reforms in Hong Kong shrank Monday but a few hundred demonstrators remained camped out in the streets, vowing to keep up the pressure until the government responds to their demands. Schools reopened and civil servants returned to work Monday morning after protesters cleared the area outside the city’s government headquarters, a focal point of the demonstrations that started the previous weekend. Crowds also thinned markedly at the two other protest sites, and traffic flowed again through many roads that had been blocked. The subdued scenes left many wondering whether the movement, which has been free-forming and largely spontaneous, had run its course — or whether the students have a clear strategy about what to do next. Early talks between the government and the students have started, but many disagreements remain. Students say they will walk away from the talks as soon as the government uses force to clear away the remaining protesters. “This is definitely not the end — we’ve never set a timeframe for how long this should go on. It’s normal for people to go home, to come and go,” said Alex Chow,

one of the student leaders. “It’s up to the government now. This is the first step, but the pressure has to continue.” Hong Kong has been rocked by a massive weeklong street protest against China’s decision to screen all nominees in the first direct elections for Hong Kong’s leader, promised by Beijing for 2017. The activists want open nominations and the resignation of the current chief executive, Leung Chun-ying, who has refused to step down. The previous weekend, police fired tear gas and pepper spray on unarmed protesters, prompting some to defend themselves with umbrellas and homemade masks — an image that gave rise to the movement’s unofficial name, the “Umbrella Movement.” The police violence galvanized public support for the demonstrations, and on both weekends, tens of thousands of protesters had turned out in the streets. But on Monday the numbers were down to just a couple hundred in the main protest site of Admiralty and in the Mong Kok area, where some scuffles broke out over the weekend between protests and residents. About 25 protesters, mostly students, refused to budge from their site outside the government headquarters, and some say they plan to stay for as long as they can.

Processed products snakefruit face marketing problem

BUSINESS Thailand tipped to retake crown as world’s top rice exporter

Bali Post

AMLAPURA - Processed products made from Bali snakefruit has so far not been favored by consumers. This condition causes the processed products cannot help farmers overcome the cheap price of Bali snakefruit harvest yields. Now, farmers begin to cultivate the planting of sugar snakefruit due to high market demand.

Agence France-Presse

BANGKOK - Two years after losing its place as the world’s biggest rice exporter, Thailand is eyeing a return to the top spot as the impact of a bungled subsidy scheme eases and it sells cheaper grain to a grateful global market. The subsidy, which offered farmers up to 50 percent above market rates for their rice, helped former premier Yingluck Shinawatra win the rural votes she needed to take office in 2011. But it also sent tremors through the world market before spectacularly unravelling, leaving Thailand with around 18 million tonnes of over-priced rice and Yingluck skewered by a corruption charge. Thailand was pushed off the top spot by India in 2012, as buyers hit back at the kingdom’s attempt to fund the costly subsidy by driving up global prices through grain hoarding. India and Vietnam moved swiftly to gobble up Thailand’s crumbling market share, with the Indian government rapidly releasing more of their own rice for export. Thailand’s junta, which seized power in May, ended the rice scheme soon after the coup and is flogging stockpiles to soften the price of Thai rice to around $450 a tonne -- comparable to India and Vietnam. Many now predict the kingdom’s industry is again set to surge. “I’m sure we can get back our world title this year,” said Chookiat Ophaswongse, honorary president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association. From January until September 2, the kingdom sold seven million tonnes of the grain -- already more than for the whole of 2013 -- according to Chookiat. It should sell 10 million tonnes by the end of the year, as experts call for farmers to focus on producing higher quality -- and higher value -- strains of rice. Darren Cooper, senior economist at the Londonbased International Grains Council, said it is “quite possible (Thailand) could edge out India in 2014”, explaining the kingdom has already begun to reclaim portions of the key African market it lost -- such as Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana. “The real story will be next year when I think Thailand will be easily the world biggest exporter,” he said. Much also depends on India, Cooper added, after New Delhi flooded lower premium rice to the export market to off-set the retreat of the Thai grain and avert a feared global food crisis. Thailand’s military rulers are talking tough on the kingdom’s subsidy culture -- including rice and other major exports such as rubber. They have paid most of the farmers, hundreds of whom took to the streets, after they were left out of pocket as banks refused to lend cash to Yingluck’s stricken administration to keep the scheme going. But to wean farmers off handouts they are focusing on lowering production costs, including of fertilisers and machinery.

The Asian Development Bank trimmed its economic growth forecast for Southeast Asia this year and next due to slower domestic demand in some of its bigger economies.

World Bank cuts China, East Asia growth forecasts Agence France-Presse

SINGAPORE - The World Bank on Monday trimmed its growth forecasts for developing East Asian economies this year and next, as China’s economic expansion loses momentum and policymakers face tighter global monetary conditions. Developing countries in East Asia and the Pacific are likely to see a growth of 6.9 percent this year and in 2015, slower than the 7.1 percent the bank had forecast in April, it said in an updated report. China’s economy is forecast to grow 7.4 percent this year and 7.2 percent next year, compared with 7.6 percent and 7.5 percent projected in April as the government addresses financial vulnerabilities and structural constraints. China’s economy expanded 7.7 percent in 2013. But the bank’s chief Asia economist Suhdir Shetty said China’s slowdown is unlikely to be “dramatic” enough to have a major impact on the region. “China’s slowdown is gradual.. It is slower but it’s not the bottom falling out of China’s growth,” he told reporters in Singapore. He also said that the link between the giant Chinese economy and the rest of Asia does not only involve demand,

which is expected to weaken due to the slowdown. China’s links also involve investments which could even increase to parts of Asia as Chinese companies venture out of the country, Shetty said. Developing East Asian countries, excluding China, are expected to grow 4.8 percent this year and 5.3 percent in 2015 from 5.2 percent in 2013. Growth in Southeast Asia’s five biggest economies -- Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam -- is forecast to slow down to 4.5 percent this year from 5.0 percent in 2013, but is likely to pick up and expand 5.0 percent next year as demand for exports grow. “The good news for the ASEAN Five is that there will be a period of rising demand for their exports,” Shetty said, adding however that these countries must continue to implement structural reforms,

invest in infrastructure and improve their investment climate in order to sustain growth. Indonesia is expected to grow 5.2 percent this year and 5.6 percent next year from 5.8 percent in 2013. Malaysia’s growth is forecast to rise to 5.7 percent this year from 4.7 percent last year, before easing to 4.9 percent in 2015. The Philippines is forecast to expand at 6.4 percent this year and 6.7 percent in 2015 from 7.2 percent in 2013. Thailand is likely to grow 1.5 percent this year and 3.5 percent next year from 2.9 percent in 2013 as the political situation stabilises. Vietnam is expected to grow 5.4 percent this year and 5.5 percent next year. It expanded 5.4 percent in 2013. Shetty said a key risk for regional economies is a “disorderly” tightening of monetary policy in the United States, Europe and Japan which would lead to a steep rise in interest rates. He said there was no reason to doubt that a tightening of monetary policy in the developed economies would be gradual, but there was also a risk that it could be abrupt.

The Production Division Head of the Karangasem Agriculture and Horticulture Agency, I Gusti Putu Sukasta, revealed that his party had developed the processed products to help the price of Bali snakefruit when slumping during harvest season. However, the response of the market to the processed product was far from expectations, mainly for local consumers. Actually a wide range of processed products of Bali snakefruit had been yielded such as toffee, sweets, chips, salad to pia cake. “Until now, we are still constrained by marketing problem of the processed products as people lack for interest in consuming it,” he said, Sunday (Oct 5). On the other hand, the processed products of Bali snakefruit also got strong competition from similar Java product. According to Putu Sukasta, the processed products of Bali snakefruit lost in the processing technology. In addition, the production in Karangasem only belonged to household scale. It was inversely proportional to the production made in Java that could have produced in large scale. Some constraints faced in increasing the income in cultivating

Bali snakefruit had caused many farmers to prefer to plant sugar snakefruit. He revealed there were about 23 hectares of land having been converted into the plantation of sugar snakefruit. Karangasem County also helped people to plant sugar snakefruit by providing seeds and fertilizer. According to him, the conversion into sugar snakefruit was based on consideration that such variety was very much demanded by the market. High demand for the snakefruit had made the price of sugar snakefruit remain expensive despite in the harvest season. Even, some farmers have harvested their snakefruit early due to high demand. “Not a few farmers who harvested earlier though it was still at young age due to high demand.

A local harbor master, I Nyoman Muka Wicaksana, said the first departure was at 06:00 a.m., while the second was around 09:00 a.m. “We have made anticipation to facilitating the departure,” he said. Other than fast boat, passengers also utilized regular boats. The departure was usually made once in the morning, but on Sunday it was made up to four times, particularly the departure from the Sampalan Port (Nusa Penida) to Tribuana Port (Kusamba). “Meanwhile, the trip from Sampalan to Sanur was only twice, excluding the afternoon trip at 3:30 p.m.,” said Muka Wicaksana.

Brazil’s Rousseff in tight runoff against pro-business Neves Reuters

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff faces a tough election runoff against her pro-business rival, Aecio Neves, after he rode a dramatic late surge and won strong support in the first round of voting on Sunday. Neves, a former twoterm state governor and senator who had been widely written off until the last few days of the campaign, took second place with 33.6 percent of the vote and now faces the leftist Rousseff in the runoff on Oct. 26. Rousseff won 41.6 percent support and remains a slight favorite but Neves is within striking distance and will pick up support from voters who had backed other anti-government candidates. The runoff campaign will be a battle between opposing visions for development in Brazil -- the state-led capitalism of the ruling Workers’ Party as it struggles to revive an economy that fell into recession in the first half of the year, and the market-friendly policies promised by Neves and his centrist Brazilian Social Democracy Party, or PSDB. The two parties have dominated politics since Brazil returned to democracy three decades ago and their electoral battles highlight class divisions in a country struggling with a huge gap between haves and have-nots. Rousseff came out ahead in the first round of voting thanks to working-class supporters who are still grateful to her party for economic gains and popular social welfare programs it expanded since it came to power 12 years ago. Recent polls have given Rousseff an edge over Neves in a runoff, with an advantage of as much as 8 percentage points, although Neves will have momentum on his side after his showing on Sunday. “Brazil cannot go backwards,” Rousseff said as she celebrated her first-place finish. “I clearly understood the message from the streets and from the ballot boxes. The majority of Brazilians want us to speed up the Brazil we are building.” Neves, however, will likely pick up support from many of the voters who backed Marina Silva, a prominent environmentalist who entered the race late and led opinion polls but fell away in the final days. She came in third with 21.3 percent of the vote. After mass protests last year illustrated growing discontent over ills ranging from corruption to poor public services, Silva and Neves wooed a grab-bag of anti-Rousseff voters. Silva stopped just shy of endorsing Neves on Sunday night. “There is no way to misinterpret the sentiment of voters, of the 60 percent who moved

for change,” she said. With the economy in its fourth year of slow growth following a sustained boom during much of the previous decade, Rousseff is vulnerable. And Neves, having clawed back from a distant third place in polls earlier in the campaign, enjoys newfound vigor. “He is now a difficult adversary,” said Andre Cesar, a political analyst in Brasilia. “He gained force and drive when he got back in the race.” To win, Neves will have to convince voters that his promise to jumpstart the economy won’t come at the expense of social programs, especially a popular monthly stipend that low-income families receive in exchange for keeping their kids in school. Neves, 54, has vowed to keep the programs, which have become a symbol of Workers’ Party rule even though they were first implemented by the PSDB. Late on Sunday, he promised “the best project for Brazil” and said he represents “Brazilians who want the country growing again, generating jobs and improving the lives of people.” Stary Policies?

Workers’ Party voters are betting that Rousseff, 66, can weather the economic slowdown and ensure continued progress for blue-collar Brazilians. Despite falling investment, weak consumer confidence and a loss of competitiveness by Brazilian manufacturers, Rousseff and her supporters blame the economic woes on international instability, not her policies. N e v e s s a y s R o u s s e ff h a s strayed too far from policies of fiscal discipline originally introduced by his party when it held power for two terms before the Workers’ Party took office. Credited by most economists as laying the groundwork for last decade’s boom, the policies were largely kept in place by former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Rousseff’s mentor and predecessor. Neves is pledging to stream-

PEKANBARU - At least eight investigators of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) raided the office of Riau Governor Annas Maamun on Monday to collect important documents in connection with his alleged involvement in a corruption case. The anti-graft body’s investigators arrived at Maamun’s office at 09.15 am local time along with three armed Mobile Brigade personnel. During the investigation, they thoroughly checked the working rooms of the governor and his regional secretary, Zaini Ismail.

Since Rousseff took office in

2011, she has sought to boost specific industries and areas of the economy with targeted stimulus packages. But critics say problems will persist until deeper reforms make Brazil more efficient. Inflation is running just above the government’s official tol-

erance ceiling of 6.5 percent, eroding purchasing power for many of those who benefited during the boom. Brazilian industry, crippled by a currency that Rousseff sought to shore up, has grown less competitive against foreign rivals.

447 after it crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, said that even if the fuel tanks had survived the impact, strong currents in the search area probably would have dispersed any leaking fuel by now. Still, he said, it’s worth a try. “In some of the steep rugged areas any kind of additional information would be useful to help peer into the dark shadows,” Gallo, an oceanographer with the U.S.based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, said in an e-mail. There will be between 25 and 35 people on each ship, and crews will likely work around the clock. The ships can stay at the search site for up to 30 days before they must head back to shore to refuel and resupply. “The most efficient way is to keep going,” Dolan said. “But you

have to be careful with the well-being of your crews, to be sure you’re not pushing them too hard.” The work will be painstaking. The ships can move no faster than 11 kph (7 mph) while towing the sonar equipment. If a vessel needs to change direction, the crew must first pull the towfish up enough that it won’t fall to the seafloor during the turn — a process that takes hours. “None of this happens very quickly,” Dolan said. Irene Burrows, whose son Rodney Burrows was on board Flight 370 with his wife, Mary, believes the plane will be found. Not knowing her son’s fate has made moving forward a near impossibility. “We’re in limbo,” she said. “It will be good to know where it is — I think that’s what is important to all the family.”

Malaysia and Australia are each contributing around $60 million to fund the search. The ships will use towfish, underwater vessels equipped with sonar that create images of the ocean floor. The towfish, which transmit data in real time, are dragged slowly through the water by thick cables up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) long. If something of interest is spotted on the sonar, the towfish will be hauled up and fitted with a video camera, then lowered back down. The towfish are also equipped with sensors that can detect the presence of jet fuel, although that would likely be a longshot. David Gallo, who helped lead the search for Air France Flight

They also named Gulat Manurung, a palm oil businessman, a suspect for allegedly bribing the governor. During the recent arrest, the KPK investigators confiscated money worth more than Rp2 billion including 156 Singaporean dollars and Rp500 million from the suspects.

Illegal gold mine collapse kills 18 Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Eighteen people were killed after an illegal gold mine collapsed in remote central Indonesia, a search and rescue official said Sunday. The collapse occurred before noon Saturday in west Borneo, in a hilly area where illegal gold mining is rampant, the official said. “We conducted a search operation last night, but we have stopped the operation now as we have found all of the bodies

reported to be missing,” local rescue official Leonardus Sabar Umbara told AFP. Sixteen victims were male, including a 17-year-old, while two others were female, Umbara added. Illegal gold mining has boomed in Indonesia in recent years as the price of the precious metal has surged, and deaths are common. In July, a landslide killed nine men at an illegal gold mine in remote Papua province.

Indonesia struggles with Islamic State recruiting Associated Press

CIANJUR — A businessman who proclaims himself leader of the Indonesian chapter of the Islamic State group says he has personally overseen the departure of scores of fighters from this Southeast Asian nation to Syria and Iraq. Police detained him for a night recently, but were unable to charge him with a crime. Chep Hernawan reflects both the success IS has had in attracting support in the region, and the challenges Indonesia faces in responding. The government, home to most of the up to 200 Southeast Asians believed to be fighting in Syria and Iraq, has forcefully spoken out against the Islamic State, as have mainstream Muslim organizations in the country. But translating that into stronger legal tools that could stop suspected militants from traveling abroad, for example, will be a challenge given the fractious nature of the next parliament and other legislative priorities, according to a recent report into the evolution of the Islamic State group by the Institute of Policy Analysis for Conflict. National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said his force could only monitor IS supporters. “If they have no record of terrorism activities then they can’t be charged under our criminal law,” he said.

Security officials fear they could take part in terrorism on their return to Southeast Asia, as those trained in Afghanistan did in attacks such as the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people. Radicals at home also could heed the Islamic State group’s exhortations to carry out revenge attacks on Western targets.

In response to the threat posed by foreign fighters, the United Nations Security Council last month adopted a resolution demanding member states prevent the recruitment and travel of people to join militant groups like IS. Hernawan’s brush with the law has not stopped him from campaigning on behalf of the group or defending its actions, including the beheading of journalists and opposition forces. “I’m convinced that these are reli-

gious acts based on Islamic teachings (permitting acts) that strike fear in the hearts of enemies of Islam,” he told The Associated Press recently in an interview in his plush home. Hernawan, 63, a longtime public supporter of radical Islam, said he was appointed the head of IS head in Indonesia at a meeting of radicals on March 16. While he is a well-known for speaking on IS’s behalf in the country, two experts on militancy in Indonesia said it was

unclear or even unlikely whether he had any structural links to the group’s leadership in Syria. Like some other radicals in Indonesia, he says violent jihad within Indonesia is not justified because the country doesn’t meet the conditions required under Islamic law. Not so elsewhere. “In countries where there are wars such as Iraq, Syria and Palestine, you either kill or get killed,” Hernawan said. Earlier this year he addressed a gathering of IS supporters in the heart of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. On the stage with him was a man called Bahrumsyah, who in July later appeared in an IS propaganda video with other Indonesians in Syria. The Islamic State group has quickly achieved popularity among a section of extremists in Southeast Asia because it has a territory that welcomes those willing to fight, a slick social media campaign and a reputation for battlefield success. The danger posed to Indonesia from IS was brought into focus last month when police arrested four ethnic Uighurs they allege were being taken to meet the country’s most wanted militant to discuss recruitment for IS. The militant, Abu Wardah Santoso, has taken responsibility for the killings of several Indonesian police officers and has pledged allegiance to IS.

Local community supported by the government then took an initiative to open the access to Pandawa Beach by splitting the hills. On the sides of the cliff lie some caves where they are filled up with the figures of Pandawa in the Mahabharata epic. This is the origin of the beach in Southern Bali named the Pandawa Beach.

From the top of the hill, tourists can see the beautiful cobalt blue sea water. When coming into the coastal area, visitors will be greeted by a clean white sand and calm quiet atmosphere.

Jules Bianchi’s parents head to Japan Associated Press

TOKYO — The parents of Formula One driver Jules Bianchi are traveling to Japan to see their son, who is in intensive care with a severe head injury after a crash during the Japanese Grand Prix. The 25-year-old Bianchi is in critical condition at Mie General Medical Center after undergoing emergency surgery following Sunday’s crash into a trackside recovery crane. Hospital officials declined to comment on Bianchi’s condition Monday and the Marussia team released a statement saying it will “respect, and be guided by, the wishes of the Bianchi family” with regard to the release of information. It is unclear when Bianchi’s parents, Philippe and Christine, are due to arrive in Japan. Bianchi crashed on the 44th lap in Sunday’s rain-shortened race at the Suzuka circuit. His car went off at Turn 7, where Sauber driver Adrian Sutil

had crashed two laps earlier. According to a report issued by FIA, Bianchi lost control of his car, travelled across the run-off area and hit the back of the tractor that was being used to remove Sutil’s car. Bianchi was unconscious when he was taken from Suzuka to the hospital. Sunday’s race started at 3 p.m. local time. An approaching typhoon led to suggestions that the race would be pushed up to an earlier start, but it wasn’t.

At the time of the crash, rain was falling steadily and it was getting dark. Several drivers complained of not being able to see properly.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James (23) fights for a loose ball with Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Jeremy Pargo in the second quarter of an exhibition basketball game Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014, in Cleveland.

James sits second half, Cavs beat Maccabi 107-80 Associated Press

CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 12 points before resting in the second half as the Cleveland Cavaliers gave new coach David Blatt a preseason win over his former team, beating Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv 107-80 on Sunday. James has been monitoring a sore back in training camp. He was kept out of a practice Friday and Blatt is being cautious with the four-time MVP. James emerged

from the locker room at halftime with ice wraps on both knees and one on his back. He spent the rest of the night watching his teammates wear down one of Europe’s best squads. It was an emotional night for Blatt, who led Maccabi to several titles, including the Euroleague championship last year. Kyrie Irving added 16 points and Kevin Love 11 rebounds for the Cavs. Sylvan Landesberg scored 23 for Maccabi.

Eugene Laverty will switch from the World Superbike Championship to MotoGP with Aspar for 2015. The 28year-old from Northern Ireland was WSBK runner-up for Aprilia last season before moving to Crescent Suzuki this year, and he has visited several MotoGP events this year as he chased a ride in the grand prix category. “I am very excited to take on this new challenge,” said Laverty, who spent two seasons in the 250cc grand prix class in 2007/08. “My greatest wish was to compete in MotoGP and finally it will be granted thanks to the Aspar team. “I have had to wait quite a long time but finally the chance is here and my dream has become a reality. “I learned a lot the last time I was in the MotoGP paddock, but I was very young back then and I didn’t have the right material to succeed.” Laverty is set to replace Hiroshi Aoyama in Aspar’s customer Honda line-up, with Nicky Hayden having an ongoing contract - although the American’s lay-off for major wrist surgery this summer did trigger some speculation about his longer-term future. Team boss Jorge Martinez Aspar said Laverty had been in his sights for some time. “Eugene Laverty is a rider we were already in contact with last year,” he said. “We tried to sign him then and even though we didn’t manage it at the time he is a rider we have been interested in for a long time. “I think he is a rider with great potential. He has produced some incredible races in Supersport and Superbikes, and he has a lot of wins on his record with a lot of different manufacturers, which says a lot about his capacity to adapt. “Maybe he hasn’t had the luck that you always need to win a world title but I am sure that he will be giving 100 per cent to the Aspar team. “Next year we will have a new, more competitive Honda, and I have a lot of hope invested in our MotoGP project.” Laverty’s brother Michael has spent the last two seasons in MotoGP with the Paul Bird Motorsport team, which is set to exit the series at the end of 2014.

Ronaldo scores 3, Madrid rolls 5-0 over Bilbao Associated Press

BARCELONA — Cristiano Ronaldo netted another hat trick to extend his scoring streak to eight consecutive games and lead Real Madrid to a 5-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league on Sunday. It was Ronaldo’s second treble to go with one four-goal game already this season and gave the Ballon d’Or holder a league-leading 13 goals in six appearances, more than the entire team goal totals of 16 of the league’s 20 sides. It was also his 22nd hat trick in the Spanish league, equaling the record held by Alfredo Di Stefano and Telmo Zarra. Karim Benzema added two goals as Madrid’s speedy forwards picked apart a Bilbao side that proved brittle at the back and is now winless in its last seven games. Gareth Bale set up Ronaldo’s goals in the third and 55th minutes. Benzema scored in the 41st and 69th, and Ronaldo completed his hat trick in the 88th.

“We are growing since the start of the season and we have margin to get even better,” Ronaldo said, adding that he would add the game ball to the collection he keeps at his museum in Madeira, Portugal. Madrid rose past Atletico Madrid into fourth place, four points behind leader Barcelona. Valencia is in second place in front of Sevilla in third after it beat visitors Deportivo La Coruna 4-1. Also, Villarreal dealt Celta Vigo its first loss of the season with a 3-1 road win, while Espanyol downed Real Sociedad 2-0 at home in its most solid performance under new coach Sergio Gonzalez. Since losing back-to-back games,

Madrid has won six in a row in all competitions and outscored its opponents 27-5. Bilbao arrived without injured striker Aduriz Aritz and with its morale down after its 2-1 defeat at BATE of Belarus on Tuesday in the Champions League. Madrid jumped on its struggling visitors early with an electric start. Bale found Ronaldo at the far post to head in the opener under goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz, and Benzema rose above his marker to nod in a corner kick to put Madrid in control by halftime. Bilbao hasn’t won at the Santiago Bernabeu since 2005, during Ernesto Valverde’s first stint as coach. And once again, Bilbao’s attacking strategy and high defensive line gave Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema plenty of room to romp. Bale streaked down the right side before squaring for the unmarked Ronaldo to make it 3-0. Then it was Ronaldo’s turn to beat Bilbao’s offside trap and generously lay off for

Benzema to get his second goal. Ronaldo called Benzema the “best striker in the league” and applauded Bale’s contribution. “We are used to playing together and we link up very well,” Ronaldo said. It could have been much worse for Bilbao. Iraizoz made eight saves and a pair of one-handed stops to deny Ronaldo and Bale before the final whistle.

Juve always win “by hook or by crook” says Totti Reuters

MILAN - AS Roma captain Francesco Totti fuelled the controversy following his team’s stormy 3-2 defeat by Juventus on Sunday, saying the Turin team always win “by hook or by crook”. Roma coach Rudi Garcia also complained that “in Turin the penalty area measures 17 metres” and joined the chorus for video technology to be used to help referees make difficult decisions. Second-placed Roma were furious after leaders Juventus were awarded two firsthalf penalties for incidents on the edge of the penalty area, the first a handball by Maicon and the second a trip on Paul Pogba by Miralem Pjanic. Roma also

scored their first goal from a penalty. “We are disappointed, things happened that have affected the outcome of the match, for years the same old incidents have been happening,” Totti told Sky Sport Italia. “I don’t know if we are being beaten by the referees but we certainly weren’t beaten by Juventus, they always win by hook or by crook,” added the 38-year-old. “Juventus should play in their own league. “The television pictures say everything, all of Italy should talk about it,” added Totti, who, before last season’s meeting in Turin said that Juventus “tend to get a bit of help”. Juve, demoted in 2006 for procuring favourable referees, always protest their innocence. Garcia, who was sent off for arguing against Juve’s first penalty, was slightly more diplomatic. “There were so many different episodes but we lost through our own failings, we missed two great chances,” he said, adding sarcastically that the Juventus Stadium penalty area was larger than the official 16.5 metres from the goal line. “Of course, the penalty areas in Turin are 17 metres long,” he said. “But this is the time

to help the referee; in the case of the phantom goals and to know if a foul is inside the penalty area. It’s time to give technological help.” Serie A does not use goal-line technology, although it has adopted UEFA’s system of having additional assistant referees, one on each goal line. “It was a match where anxiety took over,” added the Frenchman. “We lost possession too often in the first half. If they had not made it 2-2 in first-half stoppage time, the second half would have been completely different,” added Garcia, whose side led 2-1 until Carlos Tevez levelled with the last kick of the first half. Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci described his winning volley as “the most beautiful and important of my career” and said that the titleholders had shown great character. “When we were behind, we responded like the great team that we are,” he said. “Once again, we showed that Juve are the strongest.”

Chelsea beats Arsenal to consolidate league lead Associated Press

LONDON — Arsene Wenger got in a push, but Jose Mourinho landed the bigger blow. Chelsea consolidated its lead in the Premier League by beating London rival Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday in a feisty encounter that may be best remembered for Wenger losing his normal cool and giving Mourinho a shove in the chest on the sideline. Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas set up the second goal for Diego Costa in the 78th minute to make sure Chelsea remained five points clear of defending champion Manchester City atop the standings. Arsenal is now nine points behind in eighth place, having failed to avenge a 6-0 drubbing at Stamford Bridge last season. Both Manchester United and Tottenham climbed above Arsenal with wins. United beat Everton 2-1 to climb to fourth after goalkeeper David de Gea saved a penalty and made two crucial stops to deny the visitors a late equalizer at Old Trafford. Tottenham is sixth after Christian Eriksen scored in the 40th minute to secure a 1-0 win over Southampton. Also Sunday, Queens Park Rangers dropped to the bottom of the standings after losing 2-0 to West Ham. The Chelsea-Arsenal game was always going to be emotional given Wenger’s humiliation at Stamford Bridge in his 1,000th game in charge last season along with Fabregas facing his former team. It even turned physical in the dugout after a hard foul on Alexis Sanchez, with an angry Wenger squaring up against Mourinho and then giving the Portuguese manager a shove in the chest before being separated by the fourth official. Both coaches downplayed the incident after the game, after Mourinho’s side once again had the better of Wenger’s on the pitch. Wenger described the push as just “a little one” and said “what is to regret after that?” Mourinho said everyone should “forget” the incident. “To be fair, I do so many wrong things in football,” Mourinho said. “But not this time, because this time I was just in my technical area and it was not my problem. Game over. Story over.” Arsenal’s title push may not be quite over yet, but a nine-point gap is looking rather large even this early in the season given Chelsea’s strong form.

Janmaat out of Dutch squad with hamstring injury Associated Press

THE HAGUE — Newcastle defender Daryl Janmaat has pulled out of the Netherlands squad for two European Championship qualifiers after injuring his hamstring. The Dutch football association says coach Guus Hiddink has called up Augsburg defender Paul Verhaegh as a replacement. Janmaat was a regular starter for the Netherlands at the World Cup in Brazil, where former coach Louis van Gaal led the team to the semifinals. Verhaegh also was a member of the World Cup squad, replacing Janmaat in the second-round victory over Mexico in Fortaleza. The Netherlands team, which lost its first Group A qualifier to the Czech Republic, plays Kazakhstan on Friday in Amsterdam before traveling to Reykjavik to take on Iceland on Oct. 13.

LONDON - Record signing Angel Di Maria and Colombian striker Radamel Falcao scored the goals but goalkeeper David de Gea took the major plaudits following Manchester United’s 2-1 Premier League win over Everton on Sunday. The Spaniard saved a penalty from Leighton Baines and produced two superb diving stops in the final 10 minutes to preserve his side’s lead as Everton laid siege to their goal. “De Gea, heroic performance winning @ManUtd 2 points with 3 extraordinary saves. Great to see,” former United keeper Peter Schmeichel said on Twitter. Amid the turmoil of David Moyes’s disastrous season in charge at Old Trafford and Louis van Gaal’s faltering start as manager, De Gea has clearly established himself as United’s number one keeper. He was heavily criticised after arriving in England in 2011 for 17.8 million

pounds ($28.4 million) from Atletico Madrid, tasked with filling the boots of Edwin van der Sar who was United’s best keeper since Schmeichel’s heyday in the 1990s. Always deemed to be a good shotstopper, De Gea’s critics doubted whether he could cope with the physical demands of the Premier League and he showed vulnerability to high crosses. Opposing managers targeted this weakness and United manager Alex Ferguson dropped him in favour of Anders Lindegard several times during his first season. De Gea never complained publicly and he played 37 out of 38 Premier League matches in the 2013-14 season, a beacon of consistency as United spluttered to seventh in the table under Moyes a year after being crowned champions. Van Gaal had no hesitation in handing De Gea the number one shirt and he made his first start for Spain in a friendly against France last month before seizing

his chance to shine against Everton. He became the first goalkeeper to deny Baines from the spot, plunging to his right to prevent the England left back converting his 15th Premier League penalty out of 15. De Gea was powerless to keep out Steven Naismith’s headed equaliser early in the second half but, after Falcao had restored United’s lead, the Spaniard acrobatically saved powerful long-range shots from Leon Osman and Bryan Oviedo. “At the end of the first half he stopped a penalty so that was good,” Van Gaal said. “He also did very well in the last 15 minutes. “I said to him it is always good when a keeper has such games. It shall improve his confidence. He was fantastic.” Everton manager Roberto Martinez was also fulsome in his praise. “De Gea was outstanding,” he said. “There were some incredible saves, two were eye-catching, but throughout he was very strong and secure.”
