LOS ANGELES — Jerry Lewis says women are funny, but not as crude standup comics. The 88-year-old entertainer was criticized for expressing his distaste for female comedians a few years ago, but in clarifying his comments, he called Lucille Ball “brilliant” and said Carol Burnett is “the greatest female entrepreneur of comedy.”

Ball “went to the lowest level of the barrel, and she was brilliant because of it,” Lewis said Saturday after leaving his hand and footprints in cement outside Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre. “Seeing a woman project the kind of aggression that you have to project as a comic just rubs me wrong. And they’re funny — I mean you got some very, very funny people that do beautiful work — but I have a problem with the lady up there that’s going to give birth to a child — which is a miracle,” Lewis said. “But when you have women like Carol Burnett, that’s the greatest female entrepreneur of comedy. I just saw Carol at the Smith Center at home in Vegas, and I was stunned by how brilliant she is and how brilliantly she brings the audience right up to her.” Lewis was accompanied by his wife and daughter at the cement ceremony, during which he asked his daughter to take a bow. “This is an incredible time for me,” he said. “I have never, ever had an experience like this and had my daughter present. And this is the first time I’ve ever asked her to join me.” Danielle Sara Lewis is

Tony Award-winning actress Phyllis Frelich dies Associated Press Writer

Phyllis Frelich, a Tony Award-winning deaf actress who starred in the Broadway version of “Children of a Lesser God,” has died. She was 70. Frelich died Thursday at their home in Temple City, California, her husband, Robert Steinberg, said. She suffered from a rare degenerative neurological disease called progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, for which there are no treatments, he said. “She was extraordinary, the finest sign language actress there ever was,” he said. “We were married for 46 years. I would have been happy with 46 more.” A native of Devils Lake, North Dakota, Frelich graduated from the North Dakota School for the Deaf and Gallaudet College — now Gallaudet University — in Washington, D.C. She was the oldest of nine deaf children born to deaf parents. Frelich became interested in acting while at Gallaudet. She joined the National Theatre of the Deaf where she met Steinberg, who worked as a scenic and lighting designer on several plays by Mark Medoff. The couple inspired Medoff to create “Children of a Lesser God,” which follows the relationship between a deaf woman and a teacher at a school for the deaf. The production was first staged in New Mexico and then in Los Angeles. Frelich won a Tony in 1980 for her Broadway portrayal of Sarah Norman, the deaf woman at the heart of the play. “I was the first deaf person he (Medoff) had known,” Frelich told The Associated Press in 1988. “I told him there were no roles for deaf actresses. He said, ‘OK, I’ll write a play for you.’ He did. He went home and wrote ‘Children of a Lesser God.’ He wanted to write a good play. He was interested in me as an actress and he wasn’t trying to write a message play.” Medoff, now a professor at New Mexico State University, said he was immediately charmed by her energy and her enthusiasm for having a conversation with him.

Australian drug mule Schapelle Corby will not have her parole revoked over a controversial TV interview, an Indonesian official said Friday, adding there was no ground to send her back to jail.

Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Australian drug mule Schapelle Corby will not have her parole revoked over a controversial TV interview, an Indonesian official said Friday, adding there was no ground to send her back to jail. Indonesian Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin had threatened to revoke Corby’s parole after her sister, Mercedes Corby, gave a television interview to Australia’s Channel Seven last month, maintaining Schapelle’s innocence. Authorities in Indonesia reacted to the interview with anger, par-

ticularly Mercedes’ suggestion that Indonesians may have planted the drugs found by airport customs officials in her sister’s surf gear. Prisoners paroled in Indonesia are usually expected to admit guilt and show remorse for their crimes. “It was her sister who did the

interview, not Schapelle,” prisons spokeswoman Ika Yusanti told AFP. “She hasn’t broken any of the conditions of her parole or any laws, so there are no legal grounds to send her back to prison. We will continue to keep a watch on her,” she said. Corby was jailed for 20 years for smuggling 4.1 kilograms (nine pounds) of marijuana onto the resort island of Bali in 2004. She was paroled in February after receiving several remissions, including a five-year sentence cut on a clemency appeal to the presi-

dent. Syamsuddin, who granted Corby parole, said last month there was a “big possibility” she would be sent back to prison following the interview. The minister was under considerable pressure from the parliament’s legal commission and anti-drugs groups that vehemently opposed Corby’s freedom from jail. Australian police also dropped an investigation into Corby and Channel Seven for proceeds of crime, an Australian law that bans criminals from financially benefiting from their notoriety.

The Corby saga has riveted the Australian public and generated significant sympathy in her home country, where her plight has been given blanket coverage. The drama escalated last month, when Corby brandished a knife in an apparent attempt at self-harm while officials visited her home after threats of sending her back to prison were made. Corby was diagnosed with depression and psychosis during her time in prison, and has reportedly been struggling mentally since her release.

Road section at Lovina area submerged Bali Post

SINGARAJA - A heavy rain in Buleleng caused flood at road sections in the center of Lovina tourist area, Saturday afternoon (Apr 12). Large volume of rainwater flowing from the south (Kayuputih Melaka village, Sukasada subdistrict and surrounding villages) was not accommodated in the drain. After that, the water overflowed to SingarajaSeririt road section, precisely in front of the Secretariat of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Buleleng. The adult knee-deep flood then flowed on the road to the west up to the entrance to the Dolphin statue and the north area also flooded. As observation of Bali Post at the location, the rain hit some areas of North Bali starting from 12:30 at noon. Few hours later, the water mixed with brown mud started flowing from the villages in the south. The water volume continued to increase so it made the waterways on road side of Singaraja-Seririt unable to accommodate the flow of water. As the result, the water overflowed and flowed on the road body westward to the Dolphin statue. Height of the water submerging the road reached the adult knee. Luckily, the overflowing water did not flow into the people’s houses, shops and accommodation at Lovina tourist area. Due to the flood, the vehicle traffic from the east to the west and opposite direction was trapped in congestion along some two kilometers from the traffic light at Lovina to Kaliasem village, Banjar subdistrict. Cars and motorcycles were forced to move slowly. Meanwhile, some residents seemed to work in mutual assistance to clean up the rubbish clogging the floodgate in order to drain the water towards the shore. Unfortunately, the effort was in vain because the tools in use were restricted, so people continued to let the water soak the road at Lovina area. A resident said that such flood was not the first time, but it happened when heavily rained at Lovina. The resident claimed to have reported the condition to the government so the waterways could be immediately fixed and the floodgate on the south of the road, so that it could accommodate the volume of water. However, the complaints of people did

The flood which happen in Lovina, Buleleng not get a response from relevant agency in Buleleng and the officers only cleaned up the garbage accumulating in the waterways. After that, there was no further attempt to prevent flood at Lovina. “The waterway is narrow and the floodgate to drain water to the north of the road is also small and it is clogged by garbage. This should be slightly widened and the garbage piling up must be cleaned, so the volume of water will be accommodated and flooding can be prevented,” said one of the residents. Meanwhile, a Dutch traveler, Billy, admitted that he was uncomfortable to visit Lovina because the area often flooded. Even, he himself admitted to have seen flood at Lovina for

two times without significant handling. This elderly traveler reminded that it should not be ignored by local government and the waterways and the environment around the Dolphin statue had to be well maintained. This location had become regular target of flood when it rained with the same source of water from the south. “I have seen flood here twice without handling. So, I feel uncomfortable because the water submerges the road body like this,” he said. Until Saturday afternoon, the flood at Lovina began to recede as the rain gradually subsided. After the flood, the road body was filled with gravel stones and twigs of trees washed away during the floods. As a result, the road turned slippery and was prone to accidents. (mud)

Hotel NEO Eltari - Kupang will be located close by to the historical airport, El Tari. During World War II, the city of Kupang (formerly known as Koepang) was the hub for refueling and landing for long-haul flights from Europe to Australia. Today, Kupang is the capital city of the province of East Nusa Tenggara, perched in

By offering such premium features, NEO hotels stay true to the group’s credo: that well designed and exciting hotels do not need to be expensive. “The Island of Timor is still a fairly untouched tourist destination for many travelers. However, in recent years many adventurous tourists are straying from the typical spots to explore this beautiful corner of Indonesia. We are extremely excited to offer our affordable NEO accommodations to these travelers and we are excited to be a part of the rapid growth that this up-and-coming area will see over the coming years .” Said Norbert Vas, Vice President Sales & Marketing Archipelago International.

‘Running priest’ in Philippines campaigns for poor

Associated Press Writer

Monday, April 14, 2014

Almost all tourist areas in Bali prone to drug

Bali Post

MANILA, Philippines — As the band of protesters approached a red stoplight, a cry went up from the priest leading them: “Run! Run! Run!” The Rev. Robert Reyes jogged out into the clogged Manila street, raising his hand to the traffic — a small act of disobedience in a life punctuated with them. The group of about 40 followed him at a brisk clip, waving banners with slogans against the eviction of slum dwellers to make way for a new shopping mall. “Running has a Pied Piper affect,” said Reyes, an activist priest with a buzz cut for whom running, either with others or alone on multi-day ultra-marathons, is a preferred form of protest. “It draws people in.” For more than 30 years, Reyes, dubbed the “running priest” by the local media, has been a constant critic of corruption in the Philippines and often times the church itself, which he charges has abandoned its obligation to help the poor and sided with those in power in Asia’s largest Roman Catholic nation. He has spearheaded numerous campaigns, big and small. He’s protested against the tobacco industry after his brother died of lung cancer, and blamed mining companies for environmental degradation. He’s targeted corporate conglomerates, especially mall developers. He opposes the

presence of American troops in the country. Reyes, 59, says Pope Francis’ emphasis on social justice has given him an extra shot of motivation. But his activism and outspokenness has apparently rankled church leaders. When he was younger, Reyes fit into the church quite well under Manila’s Cardinal Jaime Sin, who was a leading voice in the “people power” campaigns that led to the ouster of the U.S.-backed dictator, President Ferdinand Marcos, in 1986, and later President Joseph Estrada in 2001. Reyes said his relationship soured irrevocably with church leaders in 2005, when he led a hunger strike in a Manila park against then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo over allegations she rigged elections. Asked by a television crew why the bishops were not supporting him, he answered that they

DENPASAR - Almost all the tourist areas in Bali drug are prone to drug trafficking, especially Denpasar and Kuta. Moreover, the movement of drug syndicates is very fast and cunning to take advantage of the situation. It was revealed by Chief of National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) of Bali, I Gusti Ketut Budiartha.

Reyes claims church leaders

refused to give him a position as a priest overseeing a parish unless he stopped protesting. So last year, he tried a different tack: After a year of silence and monastic life,

he was ordained as a monk in the Franciscan order, which is more sympathetic to his activism. The bishops’ conference did not respond to requests for comment.

Subway: ‘Yoga mat chemical’ almost out of bread Associated Press Writer

AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File

FILE - This Aug. 11, 2009, file photo, shows a chicken breast sandwich and water from Subway on a kitchen counter in New York. Subway says an ingredient dubbed the “yoga mat” chemical will be entirely phased out of its bread by the week of April 14, 2014.

NEW YORK — The Subway sandwich chain says an ingredient dubbed the “yoga mat chemical” will be entirely phased out of its bread by next week. The disclosure comes as Subway has suffered from an onslaught of bad publicity since a food blogger petitioned the chain to remove the ingredient. The ingredient, azodicarbonamide, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in food as a bleaching agent and dough conditioner. It can be found in a wide variety of products, including those served at McDonald’s, Burger King and Starbucks and breads sold in supermarkets. But its unfamiliar name has an unappetizing ring, and the petition became a flashpoint by noting that the chemical is also used to make yoga mats and isn’t approved for use in some other parts of the world. Tony Pace, Subway’s chief marketing officer, told the AP in a phone interview that the chain started phasing out the ingredient late last year and that the process should be complete within a week. Subway is privately held and doesn’t disclose its sales figures.

But it is apparently feeling pressure from the uproar. “You see the social media traffic, and people are happy that we’re taking it out, but they want to know when we’re taking it out,” Pace said. “If there are people who have that hesitation, that hesitation is going to be removed.” The issue illustrates a split in thought about what should go into our food. One side says such additives are used in hundreds of food products and are safe to eat in the quantities approved by the FDA. The other side asks why such ingredients need to be used at all. John Coupland, a professor of food science at Penn State University, noted that people concerned about azodicarbonamide focus in part on a carcinogen called urethane it creates in the baking process. But he said some level of urethane is already present in bread and that even toasting can increase its levels. “Nobody worries about making toast,” Coupland said, adding that one could argue there’s some type of risk associated with any number of chemicals. Coupland also questioned whether Subway’s removal of the ingredient would make people think the food is healthier.

From the mapping of the National Narcotics Agency, Budiartha added that the most vulnerable area for the circulation of such illicit goods were Sanur, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Ubud and Karangasem. Other tourist areas also started to be prone so that all parties should be vigilant and not to be taken advantage for the illicit drug business. “The prone areas include Buleleng. For example, the Lovina and surrounding areas are also vulnerable to drugs. In addition to the tourist areas, many areas including the dimly lit cafés or entertainment spots are also the same,” he said amidst the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on decriminalization and depenalization in the office of National

Narcotics Agency of Bali. Therefore, the National Narcotics Agency of Bali made coordination with tourism players in order to contribute in the prevention against the rampant drug trafficking in Bali. “We’ve been coordinating with the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) and the Association of Tours and Travel Agency (ASITA) of Bali. We appeal if there is drug-related information to be immediately forwarded to us,” said the former Tourism Director of Bali Police. The existence of villas at remote locations was frequently used for drug binge. For a while, according to Budiartha, there was no indication if the villas in Bali were taken advantage for drug-related activities. “Hotels

Made Sugiharta Yasa, a drug addict consultant, also revealed similar thing. Bali as a tourist destination had become a severe circulation of drug. It happened because many nightlife spots

were taken advantage by the syndicate of illicit goods. “We must seek to suppress the drug trafficking in Bali. Otherwise, the drug distribution in Bali is getting worse,” he said. (rah)

Government asked to crack down illegal employment of expatriates Antara

Tourists visited Besakih Temple recently. The government has been asked to take firm action against many illegal operations of foreign business especially in the tourism sector.

DENPASAR - The government has been asked to take firm action against many illegal operations of foreign business especially in the tourism sector. Many foreigners coming with tourist visa to Bali have worked in the tourism sector or started business in small and handicraft industry, tourism observer Wayan Sukamada said here on Sunday. Some of the foreigners work as guides for tourists from their respective countries, Wayan, a former owner of travel operator said. A number of Russians holding tourist visa operate business to provide guides for Russian tourists, he cited. “Some of them even work as car drivers, and surfing trainers,” he added. A number of visitors from other countries like Australia, Japan, China , Korea have also worked illegally in Bali saying they helped bring in more tourists from their respective countries, he said. Ketut Sudarma, a driver offering to drive tourists in Bali said so far the government has made no attempt against illegal operations by many foreigners in the small business sector. Ketut said it is no easy to crack down on the illegal business operations as they have

protectors. They were protected by local travel agents which gain from the visits by tourists organized by the illegal expatriates, he said. The involvement of foreigners in organizing tourist visitors to Bali would benefit the travel agents but at the same time hurt the interest of local people in loss of job opportunities, he said Not few foreigners holding tourist visa from Korea, Europe and the United States have lived in Bali for years doing business exporting local products of handicraft and garments, he added. “Some of them have even established their own firms under the name of local people. They produce goods and dominate the market at the expense of local small businesses,” he said. Many local garment makers in Bali have been forced to stop operation on failure in market competition against the more powerful foreign rivals, Nyoman Soka, a garment maker in Denpasar said. Nyoman said he survived so far on success in maintaining good connections with buyers in the United States. He said if the government continues to allow illegal operations of foreign business, the small business sector would be dominated by foreign firms under the name of local people.

Four schools in Denpasar lack of national exam document

RLD

DENPASAR - Distribution of the national exam document for high school (SMA) including for the disabled, Islamic school (MA) and vocational school (SMK) to Education Agency of respective county/municipality across Bali was conducted on Friday (Apr 11) with police escort. Having been checked, there were a number of schools that have not received the exam document as happened in Denpasar. Such condition made the principals and teachers fret. ity in Bali would get police escort ranging from the printing company to warehouse, distribution to county/municipality and in schools. Even, to open the manuscript, one should open some seals of the envelope. It was difficult for someone to steal the exam manuscript or there was small possibility for the leakage to happen prior to the exam and for people to have the answers. Thus, it was ensured and guaranteed there would be no leakage of any kind. “We guarantee there will be no leakage of the exam manuscript because it has been heavily guarded by police personnel in the distribution to schools,” said Wardani. Bali Education Agency also reminded all the high school and vocational school students that would attend the national exam not to trust the lure of the answer leakage from particular party like in the form of short message service (SMS) containing the answers of exam manuscripts. If there were answer leakage through SMS it was ascertained to be misleading answers and harmed the students. “Every year, there was the leakage of the national exam answers, but they were proved incorrect. So, do not trust if there are such leakages. They are definitely fake answers. The student must be learning and making a better preparation,” she affirmed. On the other hand, storage of the national exam manuscript of high school and vocational school in Denpasar was carried out in each sub-region school. To ensure the security of the national exam manuscript including categorized into the state’s confidential document, it was stored in their respective sub-region with extra tight security by armed police for 24 hours each day. The national exam manuscript would be distributed to schools organizing the national exam on Monday (Apr 14) few hours before the national exam took place with police escort. On the contrary, the return of the computerized answer sheet to sub-region also got a police escort from each subdistrict police. (kmb29)

Four cars burned-out in garage

Bali Post

MANGUPURA - Residents around Siladarma hamlet, Mengwitani village, Mengwi, Badung, were surprised by fire incident, Thursday (Apr 10). A garage belonging to I Wayan Astawa was engulfed in the flames. Besides, four cars parked in the garage also remained in

the form of frames only. The cause of fire was unknown and police are still investigating the case. Chief of Badung Police, Komang Suartana, explained there were no fatalities in the fire incident. The victim only suffered material losses with a total value of IDR 250 million. “We are still investigating the cause. It has not

been known exactly. Clearly, the witnesses said at first there was an explosion in the garage,” he said. He also added that the fire initially happened when the victim just went home around 11:45 in the morning. Previously he was washing his car in front of the garage around six o’clock that morning. At that moment, the victim’s

wife was saying prayers. Well, when going home (11:45 a.m.), the victim was hearing an explosion from inside the garage. After that, it emitted smokes and sparks. The fire enlarged and the victim attempted to distinguish. Likewise, the surrounding residents also participated in giving first aid. However, the fire could just have been extinguished

Despite having no new transmissions from the black boxes’ locator beacons to go on, air and sea crews were continuing their search in the southern Indian Ocean on Sunday for debris and any sounds that may still be emanating. They are desperately trying to pinpoint where the Boeing 777 could be amid an enormous patch of deep ocean. No new electronic pings have been detected since Tuesday by an Australian ship dragging a U.S. Navy device that listens for flight recorder signals. Once officials are confident that no more sounds will be heard, a robotic submersible will be sent down to slowly scour for wreckage. “We’re now into Day 37 of this tragedy,” said aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas. “The battery life on the beacons is supposed to last 30 days. We’re hoping it might last 40 days. However, it’s been four or five days since the last strong pings. What they’re hoping for is to get

one more, maybe two more pings so they can do a triangulation of the sounds and try and narrow the (search) area.” Recovering the plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders is essential for investigators to try to figure out what happened to Flight 370, which vanished March 8. It was carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese, while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing. After analyzing satellite data, officials believe the plane flew off course for an unknown reason and went down in the southern Indian Ocean off Australia’s west coast. Investigators trying to determine what happened to the plane are focusing on four areas — hijacking, sabotage and personal or psychological problems of those on board. Two sounds heard a week ago by the Australian ship Ocean Shield, which was towing the ping locator, were determined to be consistent with the signals emitted from the black

boxes. Two more pings were detected in the same general area Tuesday, but no new ones have been picked up since then. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has expressed confidence that the pings picked up by the Ocean Shield were coming from the plane’s two black boxes, but he cautioned that finding the actual aircraft could take a long time. “There’s still a lot more work to be done and I don’t want anyone to think that we are certain of success, or that success, should it come, is going to happen in the next week or even month. There’s a lot of difficulty and a lot of uncertainty left in this,” Abbott said Saturday in Beijing, where he was wrapping up a visit to China. Searchers want to pinpoint the exact location of the source of the sounds — or as close as they can get — before sending the Bluefin 21 submersible down. It will not be deployed until officials are confident that no other electronic signals will come, and that they have narrowed the search area as much as possible. The underwater search zone is currently a 1,300square-kilometer (500-square-mile) patch of the seabed, about the size of Los Angeles.

The national exam manuscript arrived at the Denpasar Education Agency around 09:30 a.m. transported by a box truck owned by PT Temprina Media Grafika with extra tight guard by armed Bali Police personnel. After being checked by the supervisory team, in fact four schools had not received the complete national exam manuscripts. Of the 32 high schools, a total of three high schools had not received the manuscript package, namely the SMA K Harapan lacking of 6 envelopes (containing 21 sheets) for the subject of Bahasa Indonesia, SMAN 6 Denpasar high school lacking of 4 envelopes (containing 21 sheets) for the subject of Sociology and SMA Dharma Praja Denpasar lacking of 3 envelopes (containing 20 sheets) for the subject of Geography. Meanwhile, from 31 vocational schools (SMK) in Denpasar, only one school that lacked of exam manuscript, namely the SMA Pariwisata Bali Dewata as many as 1 envelope (containing 21 sheets) for the subject of English language. On the other hand, some schools also lacked of the computerized answer sheet (LJK) return envelope. In addition, two schools also had a shortage of English language cassettes for the listening test, namely the SMA LB Denpasar high school for the disabled (3 cassettes) and SMAN 2 Denpasar high school lacked of 14 cassettes. Responding to the shortage of some exam manuscripts, the Division Head of Secondary Education, Denpasar Education Agency, Wayan Supartha, explained the exam manuscripts that had not been received were possibly still left in the printing company. To overcome the problem, the Denpasar Education Agency had made coordination with the Bali Education Agency. “We will wait for the arrival of the remaining national exam manuscript until Saturday (Apr 12),” he said. Meanwhile, the Head of the Bali Education Agency, TIA Kusuma Wardani, assured and ensured the distribution of national exam manuscript to all counties/municipal-

BOSTON — Every time Roseann Sdoia comes home, she must climb 18 steps — six stairs into the building, 12 more to her apartment. It is an old building in Boston, with doors that are big and heavy, not an easy place for an amputee to live. When she left the hospital, a month after the Boston marathon bombing, she had a choice: She could find another place to live, one more suitable for someone who wears a prosthetic that replaces most of her right leg. Or, she could stay. “Early on when all this happened, so many people were telling me to move out of the city and move out of my apartment because of the stairs and I don’t have an elevator and parking is not very convenient,” she recalls. “But I have been able to get past all of that.” In that, she mirrors Boston itself. “I have to tell you, honestly, Boston is a better city now than it was before,” Thomas Menino,

who was Boston’s mayor during the April 15 attacks. “People learned how to deal with each other, they had to deal with a tragedy.” Not that it’s been easy. Three people were killed at last year’s Boston Marathon, and more than 260 were injured, and the legacy of trauma and lost limbs remains — as does the shock of having endured a terrorist attack on a cherished “Marathon Monday.” Nor can Bostonians forget the fear that gripped a city locked down in the midst of a manhunt, which ended in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now 20. Tsarnaev, of Chechen origin, faces 30 federal charges in the attack he allegedly carried out with 26year-old brother Tamerlan, who died in a shootout with police. But Boston has been able to get past all of that. Copley Square, where bombs went off at the finish line, is no longer littered with impromptu tributes to the dead and injured; they’re now on display in an exhibit at the Boston Public Library.

World finance chiefs fall short on growth plan

Bali Post

Agence France-Presse

WASHINGTON - Leading economic policymakers meeting in Washington voiced worry Friday that the Ukraine crisis could hurt the world economy, but fell short of taking concrete action to strengthen growth amid signs of discord. Meeting on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank spring meetings, G20 finance ministers and central bank chiefs pledged to follow up on reforms and support a $27 billion rescue program for Ukraine, even as Russia continues to menace its neighbor. But there was little firm action on how to stimulate world growth further, prompting Australia’s Treasurer Joe Hockey, whose country leads the G20 this year, to label the sketchy plans “clearly inadequate.” The G20 reiterated last year’s promise to boost collective growth by two percentage points, but there was disagreement on how to do so. Hockey said individual members’ plans for contributing to that goal, offered after they met in Australia in February, fell short of what is needed. “The comprehensive growth strategies that were submitted by countries following the meeting in Sydney were clearly inadequate,” he told reporters. When the G20 made the commitment to enhance growth, he added, “we really meant it. It wasn’t just a rhetorical figure put in the communique for publicity purposes.

US launches probe into Herbalife Agence France-Presse

NEW YORK - US authorities have opened a criminal probe into the nutrition and weight loss company Herbalife Ltd., according to media reports Saturday. The New York Times reported that sources said the case has been

under investigation for several months. The daily added that officials it contacted say it is possible that authorities will opt not to take action against Herbalife. The Times wrote that the investigation focuses on Herbalife’s direct-selling business model. Herbalife distributes its diet

Shares in the Los Angeles based company have fallen sharply in re-

Exports of processed fish to US up

Antara

DENPASAR - Bali’s exports of processed fish to the United States rose to US$1.29 million in February 2014 from US$895,000 a year earlier. Exports to the United States made up 40.53 percent of Bali’s total exports of processed fish, I Ketut Teneng, Bali’s provincial administration spokesman said on Sunday. “The remaining 59.47 percent were exported to other countries mainly Japan,” Teneng said. He said Bali’s exports of processed fish are expected to continue to increase in the coming year on strong competitiveness. In 2013, Bali exported 6,043 tons of

canned fish worth US$19.71 million, down from 8,649 tons valued at US$25.98 million on shrinking demand in international market. Processed fish is one of six export commodities of manufactured goods from Bali and the United States and Japan are the main markets, he said. Other manufactured goods exported from Bali include components of house buildings, plastics, shoes, textiles and textile products, he said. Processed fish contributed around 4.06 percent to Bali’s total exports which were valued at US$486.06 million in 2013 or an increase of 0.88 percent from the previous year’s record of US$481.83 million.

GIANYAR - Condition of the river in Gianyar County looks shabby due to garbage and other debris that adorn the stretch of rivers in Gianyar. The community is also indifferent to such condition. On that account, they are expected to take care of the sanitation of the river, especially around their neighborhood. Existence of many rivers in Gianyar is widely used for the activities of residents. In addition to the interests of agriculture, some areas of the river are also used by people as a place to bathe and wash. Thus, the sanitation of the river would become an absolute thing to be maintained, said the Head of Gianyar Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP),Wayan Kujus Parwitra, after the assessment of environmental and office sanitation competition. For the issue of garbage in the river, the DKP through the clean river program encouraged the people to take care of the environmental condition, especially the river located at the trash blockage. During rainy season, this garbage blockage was the trigger of floods. In addition to floods, it could also trigger other hazards such as the outbreak of dengue fever. For the clean river program, the DKP had deployed the officers to come down to the river to clean up the watershed and even the gutters indicated to have been clogged by garbage as performed on the river in the neighborhood of Abianbase. “It is attempted to clean up so as not to clog up the water flow and stagnant,” he explained. Admittedly, due to the restrictedness of human resources of the DKP as well as many rivers and gutters in Gianyar, the public was expected to participate in the clean river program. To create a clean river from rubbish, people around the river were asked to participate in maintaining the sanitation by not throwing garbage into the river or ditch. “Through this awareness, in addition to avoid the danger of floods, it will also create a clean and beautiful environment,” he said.

Frenchman could face death for drug smuggling

Agence France-Presse

DENPASAR - A Frenchman appeared in court in Bali Thursday accused of trafficking a large stash of crystal methamphetamine into the Indonesian resort island, an offence punishable by death. Francois Giuily was arrested in January at Bali airport with more than three kilograms (6.8 pounds) of the drug hidden in two plastic bags in his suitcase lining, said prosecutor Suryatmaja, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. Airport customs chief I Made Wijaya said at the time of his arrest that the drugs had a street value of $511,280. The 48-year-old, making an initial appearance in court in the Balinese capital

Denpasar, was charged under a law that bans the production, import and distribution of illegal drugs. The offence carries a maximum penalty of death under Indonesia’s tough anti-narcotics laws. Giuily told officials that a Gambian drug trafficker he met on the Internet asked him to deliver the drugs to Indonesia and promised to pay him $4,000, the prosecutor said. There are several foreign nationals on death row for drug-related offences in Indonesia. British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford was sentenced to death in January last year after being found with $2.4 million worth of cocaine in her luggage as she arrived in Bali.

4 dead in Chile forest fire; 500 homes destroyed

CHIMBOTE, Peru — One by one, the senior officials from the capital took the microphone and apologized to an auditorium packed with angry people who had long been living in fear. The officials admitted they had failed to prevent a political murder foretold by its victim. Their integrity was in doubt. Peru’s chief prosecutor, comptroller and the head of Congress’ investigations committee, which was now holding a public hearing, had all ignored evidence that Ezequiel Nolasco, now murdered, had thrust in their faces for months. Having survived a 2010 assassination attempt after he denounced government corruption, Nolasco had repeatedly warned that his home state, Ancash, was run by a criminal syndicate that plundered the treasury, killed people it couldn’t buy or intimidate, wiretapped foes and used police as spies and journalists as character assassins. A lone gunman finished the job on March 14, pumping five bullets into the former construction union leader when he stopped for a beer heading from Lima to this coastal city that is home to nearly half of Ancash’s 1.1 million people. Ancash was living under the ironclad rule of a governor locals compared to U.S. mob legend Al Capone, his political machine allegedly greased by tens of millions in annual mining revenues that had made Ancash Peru’s richest state. “It’s a mini-dictatorship,” said Christian Salas, the public prosecutor dispatched from Lima to clean things up. He asked to have Gov. Cesar Alvarez jailed while more than 100 corruption cases involving his administration are revived, adding that the local prosecutors’ office and courts were “taken over by criminals.” On Friday, a local judge barred Alvarez, his top press aide and four journalists from leaving the country for four months while they are investigated for conspiracy and embezzlement. Corruption-impregnated personal fiefdoms aren’t rare in Latin American democracies, but political scientists say Ancash is extraordinary in its sheer scope and brutality. “This guy went too far,” said Edward Gibson, a Northwestern University professor who calls the phenomenon “subnational authoritarianism.” Steven Levitsky of Harvard University said, “I don’t know of any cases where there has been this much violence,” save perhaps in southern Mexico.

INDONESIA Poll outcome dims economic reform hopes Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Prospects for much-needed reforms in Southeast Asia’s top economy are in doubt after a worse-than-expected election performance by the main opposition left Indonesia staring at an unwieldy coalition government, analysts warn. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) won around 19 percent of the vote at Wednesday’s elections, according to initial results, putting it in first place but with less than the 25-30 percent expected. The party had been buoyed by the popularity of its presidential candidate, Jakarta governor Joko Widodo, frontrunner to be the country’s next leader, but failed to translate this into overwhelming victory at the polls. The early count indicates the PDI-P will have to form a large coalition to put Widodo forward at the July presidential polls,

meaning decision-making will remain cumbersome and reducing the chances of swift economic reform, analysts said. A party or coalition of parties needs 20 percent of seats in parliament, or 25 percent of the national vote, to put forward a presidential candidate. The small National Democratic party at the weekend became the first to say it would support the PDI-P, although negotiations are still ongoing with other parties and the final shape of any coalition remains unclear. The number of parties in parliament also increased to 10 from

nine, with many small parties making gains, a result that will mean the notoriously fractious legislature is as hard to work with as ever. “The legislature is more fractured than it was in the last parliament,” Paul Rowland, a Jakarta-based independent analyst told AFP, adding that “market-oriented” policies would be unlikely. Indonesia is a G20 economy and one of the world’s fastestgrowing -- it expanded by 5.8 percent last year -- but investors have long criticised policymakers’ failure to realise its

SANTIAGO, Chile — A large forest fire raging in the Chilean port city of Valparaiso has killed at least four people and destroyed 500 homes, officials said Sunday. Thousands of people have been evacuated, including more than 200 female inmates at a prison. Firefighters were having difficulty combating the blaze because of the topography of the city, which is surrounded by dozens of steep hills where most people live. “This is the worst disaster I have seen,” regional governor Ricardo Bravo said. “Now we fear that the fire will spread to the center of the city, which would increase the severity of the emergency.” President Michelle Bachelet has declared the city of 250,000 people a catastrophe zone, which puts the armed forces in charge of maintaining order and evacuating thousands of residents affected by the smoke and flames. Authorities have evacuated an estimated 5,000 people, a figure that is expected to rise. Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo said the fire has caused

the deaths of four people — three men and a woman. Thick clouds of smoke surrounded the city’s prison and nine pregnant inmates were transferred to a detention facility in the nearby city of Quillota. Prison authorities were evacuating another 204 female inmates to a sports arena. The more than 2,700 male inmates will remain at the prison for the time being, prison guard commander Tulio Arce said. Valparaiso Mayor Jorge Castro said “at least 500 homes have been destroyed by the fire.” He said shelters for those forced to flee have been set up. The city was

experiencing cuts to the electricity supply, he said. While firefighters, police and forest rangers battled the blaze, Chilean marines in combat gear patrolled streets in the city to maintain order and prevent looting. The fire started Saturday afternoon in hills on the edge of the city and spread rapidly because of strong winds. Hot ash rained down on the city early Sunday, causing respiratory problems among the population, especially children and the elderly. Valparaiso, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) northwest of the capital, Santiago, is home to Chile’s national legislature.

potential. Infrastructure is poor and corruption endemic, while the bureaucracy is enormous and hugely complex for foreign investors to navigate. Economic nationalism has also been rising in recent years, observers say, pointing to policies such as a ban on the export of some unprocessed mineral ores, which has hit foreign miners, and moves to stop foreign banks taking majority ownership of Indonesian lenders. A key problem seen as hindering reform in recent years has been the ruling coalition of President Susilio Bambang Yudhoyono, which was made up of six parties, and the quarrelsome nature of parliament, observers said. Parliament last year blocked ministers’ attempt to water down

the mineral ore ban and the government faced a tough battle to push through a reduction in fuel subsidies, which gobble up a huge chunk of the state budget, although it eventually succeeded. But hopes that the 560-seat lower house of parliament would be more stable following the elections have been dashed, analysts said. Market reaction after the election showed investors’ discomfort -- Jakarta stocks plunged more than three percent and the rupiah lost ground against major currencies. “It was quite a disappointment for investors,” said Fauzi Ichsan, a senior economist at Standard Chartered Bank, adding the business community had hoped the PDI-P could form a smaller and more manageable coalition.

Pacquiao beats Bradley by decision in rematch Associated Press Writer

Pacquiao left little doubt about the result of the rematch in the same arena LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao won a unanimous decision in his rematch with Timothy Bradley on where they met nearly two years ago. Saturday, avenging his 2012 loss and claiming the WBO welterweight title. Pacquiao (56-5-2) pursued Bradley’s split-decision victory astonand peppered the previously unbeaten Bradley around the MGM Grand Garden ring with an aggres- ished most ringside observers, who felt sive performance recalling the Pacman in his prime. Bradley fought back with counterpunching and Pacquiao had earned a clear decision. “I knew I had to do more in this fight than elusiveness, but Pacquiao kept up his attack while Bradley (31-1) struggled in the closing rounds. I did in the last fight,” Pacquiao said. Judges Craig Metcalfe and Michael Pernick scored the rematch 116-112 for Pacquiao, while Glenn Trowbridge favored the Filipino congressman 118110. The Associated Press scored it 116-112 for Pacquiao. After the fight, Bradley said he injured his right calf early on. But he also applauded the decision when it was announced, and he congratulated Pacquiao in the ring. “I tried, I really tried,” Bradley said. “I wanted that knockout. Manny is a great fighter, one of the best in the world. I lost to one of the greatest fighters in boxing. I kept trying to throw something over the top. That’s what we worked on in camp. That was the plan, but Pacquiao has great footwork.” Pacquiao landed 35 percent of his 563 punches, while Bradley connected with just 22 percent of his 627 blows. Pacquiao’s jab was much more effective, landing 23 percent to Bradley’s measly 11 percent, and the Pacman had a slight edge in landing 148 power punches to Bradley’s 109. Pacquiao’s performance righted one of the biggest perceived wrongs in recent boxing history. Pacquiao was an eight-division world champion on 15-fight winning streak when Bradley was awarded a split decision in their last bout. Pacquiao was more aggressive and accurate from the opening minutes of the rematch, sticking to trainer Freddie Roach’s pleas to take the action to AP Photo/Eric Jamison Manny Pacquiao, left, of the Philippines, and Timothy Bradley trade blows in their WBO welterweight Bradley. They exchanged big shots in title boxing fight Saturday, April 12, 2014, in Las Vegas. Pacquiao won by unanimous decision. the opening rounds, but Pacquiao ap-

peared to wear out Bradley with the heavy early pace — and the Pacman never slowed down. “I didn’t want to get careless,” Pacquiao said. “I picked up more steam in the second half when I made adjustments that Freddie gave me in the corner. Bradley was much better than in the first fight we had. He hurt me on the chin.” Pacquiao landed a series of big left hands in the early rounds, knocking back Bradley with gusto. Bradley responded impressively in the fourth round, wobbling Pacquiao twice with a right hand. The pace slowed in the fifth, with Bradley showing off his defense and movement while Pacquiao attempted to trap him against the ropes. Pacquiao appeared to wobble Bradley late in the seventh round with a vicious combination, but Bradley stood with his back against the ropes and defiantly encouraged it, blocking most of the shots. Bradley appeared to pretend to have wobbly legs at one point after a Pacquiao miss, but his open mouth betrayed his weariness while Pacquiao steadily racked up rounds midway through the fight. Bradley came on strong in the 12th, and the fighters’ heads collided late in the round. Pacquiao avoided any trouble until the final bell, when he did a short dance step to his corner. While Bradley remains publicly confident he beat Pacquiao in their first bout despite fighting on two injured feet, that much-derided decision sent both fighters’ careers on wild spirals. The two judges who scored the bout 115-113 for Bradley are no longer in the boxing business, but their decision ended Pacquiao’s 15-fight win streak and forced Bradley to defend himself against widespread criticism of the result.

Barcelona loses, Madrid wins to move 2nd Associated Press Writer

BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona compounded its exit from the Champions League by losing 1-0 at Granada on Saturday, letting Real Madrid move ahead into second place in the Spanish league with a 4-0 win over Almeria. Barcelona’s stumble ensured the same Atletico Madrid that ousted it from Europe’s toptier competition would maintain the league lead with five more rounds to go, as it was level on points with Madrid but ahead on goal difference before it visited Getafe on Sunday. Granada’s Yacine Brahimi scored what proved to be the winner in the 16th minute and goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis made saves to deny Lionel Messi and Neymar amid a plethora of scoring chances that Barcelona failed to finish. Barcelona has four more days to regroup from back-to-back defeats before it plays Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final in Valencia. “It’s a step back,” said Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta, whose late shot trickled by the post with Granada bunkered down in its area. “It hurts more given how few games are left. Sometimes it’s difficult to explain it when you lose. We did everything but score. We controlled everything else, but just couldn’t finish our chances. Sometimes when the team is emitting strange vibes, this happens.” With his centerbacks Gerard Pique, Marc Bartra and Carles Puyol all injured, Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino shifted Sergio Busquets into his back line and started Alex Song in midfield.

It didn’t take long for the shuffling to backfire, when Song lost the ball and Granada sprang a counterattack. Fran Rico quickly played Brahimi through for the forward to ride Martin Montoya’s mark before he shot beyond goalkeeper Jose Pinto. “I don’t think the lineup changes were decisive in a match that Barcelona should have won,” Martino said. “Normally Barcelona wins this game by four or five goals. After two losses, the squad feels that something important is slipping away, but on Wednesday we must try and win the final (of the Copa).” “I can’t feel good after these results, but we will keep fighting for the league. We can’t confuse sadness with giving up.” Barcelona peppered Granada’s area with crosses and shots but went no closer in the first half than Neymar’s long-range attempt in the 30th that Karnezis pushed wide, while Messi tried in vain to dribble through the middle of the defense.

The visitors kept pressing after the restart and Karnezis was called on to stab Cesc Fabregas’ volley around his post in the 54th. He then stretched to palm Messi’s free kick before he was well positioned to block Sergio Busquets’ try.

14th league goal of the season from Karim Benzema’s pass in the 53rd, with Isco hitting three minutes later. Morata went on to score five minutes from time. “We knew that the league would have more twists,” Di Maria said. “We were behind (Barcelona) and then we were ahead, we fell behind again and now we are back in front. We know that we have to treat each remaining game as if it were the last.”

LONDON — Arsenal avoided FA Cup embarrassment against secondtier club Wigan on Saturday, coming from behind against the holder and winning a penalty shootout to reach the final where the London club will be looking to end a nine-year trophy drought. After extra time ended 1-1, Arsenal’s players scored all of their penalties and Lukasz Fabianski made two vital saves in a 4-2 shootout victory over Wigan in this meeting of the fifth-place teams in the Premier League and League Championship. Wigan went in front in regular time from the penalty spot at Wembley Stadium. Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker conceded the spot kick that Jordi Gomez converted but the German made amends by heading in the equalizer that sent the game into extra time. “In the first half we were a bit timid,” Mertesacker said. “A lot of people questioned (our character) recently but how we came back today we proved a lot.” A year after winning its first major trophy by beating Manchester City and then again in this year’s semifinals, Wigan couldn’t produce another upset against a Premier League power — much to Arsene Wenger’s relief. “It was important mentally,” the Arsenal manger said. “If you imagine the consequences of going out tonight, it would have been quite worrying.” With the second half of his 18-year reign defined by the lack of silverware, Wenger desperately needs to collect a

first trophy since the 2005 FA Cup success when Arsenal returns to Wembley for the final. Arsenal will discover on Sunday whether it will face Premier League side Hull or third-tier club Sheffield United on May 17. It could be a bittersweet end to the season, though, with Arsenal at risk of missing out on the Champions League after 16 successive years. Just before kickoff at Wembley, Arsenal was dislodged from the fourth Champions League place by Everton, which beat Sunderland 1-0. What a slump it has been for Wenger’s side, having spent so much of the opening months of the season on top of the league. The failure to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window has come back to bite Wenger. How differently things could have turned out if he had brought in an additional striker. Instead, Wenger on Saturday was relying for goals on 21-year-old striker Yaya Sanogo, who was starting just his fourth game since joining on a free transfer before this season. Olivier Giroud was on the bench. Sanogo’s lack of cutting edge and pace in front of goal quickly became apparent. The Frenchman was denied by Scott Carson from close range after five minutes and again just before halftime when his unconvincing first touch to control the ball allowed the goalkeeper to thwart the attempt. If there was anything to reassure a dreary Arsenal side failing to produce the fluid football Wenger champions, it was Wigan’s inability to provide much attacking menace. So Arsenal gifted

Wigan the opening to go in front. Mertesacker slid in with a lunge to cut out Callum McManaman’s run and the forward went to ground in the penalty area. After a delay while Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal received treatment elsewhere on the pitch, Gomez, a product of Barcelona’s youth system, sent the spot kick beyond the reach of Lukasz Fabianski. The anger among Arsenal fans who have grown accustomed to failure was clear: Jeers greeted Wenger’s decision to bring Giroud on, not for Sanogo but Lukas Podolski in the 68th. The equalizer proved elusive. After Carson’s save from Kieran Gibbs’ header sent the ball drifting toward the goal, Wigan defender Stephen Crainey scooped the ball off the line. Wigan’s goal was finally breached in the 82nd when it couldn’t fully clear a corner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain raised the ball over the defense and Mertesacker headed in at the far post. It was a lucky escape for Arsenal, which was denied a winner in extra time when Oxlade-Chamberlain hit the crossbar but had better luck in the shootout. Fabianski saved Wigan’s first two penalties by Gary Caldwell and Jack Collison, while Arteta, Kim Kallstrom, Giroud and Cazorla all netted for the Gunners. “We are walking out of Wembley on paper as losers but in our own mind as winners,” said Wigan manager Uwe Rosler, whose focus returns to gaining promotion back to the Premier League.

FRISCO, Texas — Clint Dempsey scored twice to lead Seattle Sounders to a 3-2 win at Dallas on Saturday, moving the Sounders within three points of the early MLS Western Conference leader. Elsewhere, there was also an away win for Colorado at Toronto, Philadelphia needed a late equalizer to rescue a point at home against Real Salt Lake, and a Robbie Keane goal gave Los Angeles victory at home against Vancouver. Dempsey scored the winning goal in the 85th minute when he fired home from close range, making it five goals from his past two games. Dallas suffered its first loss of the season despite taking the lead through a David Texeira header in the 11th minute. It was Dempsey who equalized in the 22nd with a bending shot. Dallas went back ahead in the 42nd minute from a Michel penalty after Teixeira was brought down in a hard tackle by DeAndre Yedlin. That lead stood until the 75th minute when Dempsey’s cross from the right bounced off the leg of Dallas’ Stephen Keel and went

into the net. Toronto was beaten 1-0 at home by one of its former players, with Edson Buddle scoring the sole goal from close range in the 77th minute. It was Buddle’s 99th MLS goal. Colorado kept pace with Seattle, three points behind Dallas, despite being without leading scorer Vicente Sanchez, who missed the game because his wife is expecting their first child. Toronto missed a chance to go clear atop the Eastern Conference standings. Philadelphia’s Maurice Edu headed in Cristian Maidana’s corner in the 90th minute to give the Union a 2-2 home draw against Real Salt Lake. Newcomer Andrew Wenger also scored for Philadelphia, tying the game 1-1 in the 55th minute. Kyle Beckerman scored what had appeared a winner in the 85th minute for Salt Lake. Luke Mulholland also scored for RSL, which is unbeaten in its first six games for the first time in club history. Los Angeles’ Robbie Keane scored just 71 seconds into the second half for the sole goal that gave the Galaxy a 1-0 win over Vancouver.

Second-place Roma beats Atalanta 3-1 in Serie A Associated Press Writer

MILAN — Roma kept up the pressure on Serie A leader Juventus with a comfortable 3-1 win against Atalanta on Saturday which saw the capital side equal the club record number of victories in a season. Rodrigo Taddei, Adem Ljajic and Gervinho scored to help Roma to its 24th league win of the season, matching the record by Luciano Spalletti’s side in 2007-08 and achieved again under Claudio Ranieri two years later. Giulio Migliaccio headed in a consolation for Atalanta. Roma moved provisionally five points behind Juventus, which visits Udinese on Monday. Ljajic had played just 25 minutes in the past six matches but the Serbia striker started, with Mattia Destro, Alessandro Florenzi and Miralem Pjanic all suspended. He hit the post as well as scoring and providing an assist. “I haven’t played a lot recently but that’s football,” Ljajic said. “The coach decides. I’m always ready and once again I gave my utmost to help my teammates. It went well. “We gave an important sign today. We played well and we won. We’ll watch the game on Monday and hope for the best. Unfortunately it doesn’t depend on us, it depends on them. We’ll do our part and we’ll see.” Atalanta remained in eighth place following a second successive defeat as it lost ground in the race for a Europa League place. Earlier, Sassuolo picked up a vital point in its fight against relegation as it drew 1-1 at home to fellow struggler Cagliari. Taddei gave Roma the lead in the 13th minute when Dodo hooked the ball back off the byline for Francesco Totti but it fell for the Brazilian, who fired in powerfully from the edge of the box. Totti was looking dangerous and went close several times to scoring the goal which would have seen him draw level with former Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero’s 289 goals. The Italian World Cup winner provided Ljajic with Roma’s second goal with a delightful chip over the defense to Daniele De Rossi, who controlled the ball before cutting back for the Serbian. Atalanta almost got back into the game early in the second half but De Rossi blocked German Denis’ shot with goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis grounded. Gervinho sealed the result shortly after the hour mark after being put through by Ljajic following a backheel flick by Totti. Ljajic also hit the right post in an impressive performance and he was applauded off the pitch when he was substituted three minutes from time. Atalanta pulled one back 12 minutes from time when Migliaccio powerfully headed Yohan Benalouane’s cross into the bottom left corner. Cagliari had a new coach after Ivo Pulga replaced the sacked Diego Lopez but Sassuolo was full of confidence after last week’s surprise win at in-form Atalanta, and took the lead nine minutes from halftime. Simone Zaza escaped Cagliari defender Davide Astori to run onto Nicola Sansone’s through ball and fire in under the crossbar. Cagliari levelled when Luca Antei tripped Víctor Ibarbo in the opening minute of the second half and Agim Ibraimi converted the resulting penalty. Sassuolo moved provisionally level on points with Livorno in the bottom three, two points off safety. It remained eight points behind Cagliari.

International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) meeting begins during the World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings in Washington, Saturday, April 12, 2014.

A statement identified key issues, including increasing and rebalancing demand and making exchange rates more flexible, the latter an issue regularly raised with China -- the world number

US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew attempted to sound a more upbeat tone. “Over the last couple of days the international community has made it clear that boosting growth is our
