John Legend weds model Chrissy Teigen in Italy

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — John Legend is officially off the market. The R&B crooner’s representative says Legend married model Chrissy Teigen on Saturday at the Villa Pizzo in Lake Como, Italy. Legend, 34, and Teigen, 27, were engaged in 2011. Legend has won nine Grammy Awards. He released his fourth solo album, “Love In the Future,” last week. Teigen has modeled for Sports Illustrated and is the host of the Vh1 reality competition show, “Model Employee.” She also has a food blog. Legend will launch a U.S. tour next month.

The new owner of the 114-year-old Metropolitan Theater in Iowa Falls had known Jackman for years, and recalled how the Australian actor called him a few months ago to express appreciation for his efforts to restore the famed but rundown theater. “He said, ‘You know, as I grew up in Australia, every little town had a movie theater.’ He said, ‘What happens is, cities start getting the bigger theaters and little towns start losing their theaters.’ He said, ‘I’m so glad that you’re (restoring), because every little community should have a theater.’” Jackman told Whitesell he’d like to visit the theater, which is nestled between several businesses on one of Iowa Falls’ main roads. A few months later, Whitesell — whose adult son is Jackman’s agent — got the green light that Jackman’s Sept. 21 visit would be part of a promotional tour for his new film, “Prisoners.” His other recent film, “The Wolverine,” will play in the building’s second, smaller theater. Jackman will give introductions before the start of each film. “Everyone’s walking around pretty shocked,” said Mark Hamilton, the theater’s publicist. “This is quite big news for people here.” Iowa Falls is a city of about 5,000 people, 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Des Moines. The theater, built in 1899, originally housed a grand opera house that featured performers like actor Otis Skinner and composer John Philip Sousa. Known first as the Metropolitan Opera House, it was converted into a movie theater around the 1950s and is listed on

the National Register of Historic Places. “It is the dominant thing on main street,” Hamilton said. “It’s a gorgeous building.” The three-story building has multiple stainedglass windows inside, as well as chandeliers and a lobby mural that once graced the ceiling of the original opera house theater. There’s a ballroom on the top floor. After a renovation in 1993, various people managed the building. Whitesell, a retired attorney from Iowa Falls, had admired the building for decades. So he bought it out of bankruptcy in May. While it had remained open, the theater had fallen into disarray over the years. “I kept thinking, ‘I can’t let the theater go down like that,’” he said.

DENPASAR - The Indonesian National Police Headquarters will fully provide support and maintain security in Bali during the holding of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the province next month. “The Police Headquarters will provide full support both in terms of equipment and personnel,” National Police Chief General Timur Pradopo said during a coordination meeting for the holding of the APEC summit here on Sunday. The national police chief said his side would provide assistance for the Bali Regional Police in the form of facilities and other means, including security equipment

and personnel. But he did not give details on the number of police personnel which would be deployed from the National Police Headquarters. “We do not talk about total personnel but no matter how many personnel needed, we will prepare for it,” he said. The police chief called on the people, including groups of people who are opposed to the holding of the summit, to support the

event because it symbolized the trust given to Indonesia to host the summit, where delegates from 21 member countries are expected to take part. “This is a form of trust given to Indonesia to host the summit. We hope the public would know this and would support it,” he added. The APEC Summit is expected to be attended by leaders of 21 world economies. Heads of state who have confirmed participation in the Bali summit included US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. In the meantime, former Taiwanese vice president Lien Chan has confirmed he will represent Taiwan at the APEC Summit.

Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Director of Intra-Regional Cooperation in Asia-Pacific and Africa, Arto Suryodipuro, said at a press conference on Friday that Lien Chan will attend the APEC Leaders Summit on behalf of Taiwan, which is one of the APEC economies. “Except for Chinese-Taipei (Taiwan), we have received confirmations from other nations’ leaders. Taiwan has appointed former vice president Lien Chan to represent their leader,” he said. Lien Chan served as vice president from 1996 to 2000 and represented Taiwan at the APEC Summit 2008.

Semarapura (Bali Post)—

Water crisis has occurred in various regions in Bali. Such condition also occurs in the region of Bukit Tengah, Sukahati hamlet, Pesinggahan village, Dawan. Having faced clean water crisis for a month, local residents finally asked the Klungkung Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) to supply clean water to their region. However, until Sunday (Sep 14), their complaint was apparently ignored. If the PDAM stayed indifferent until tomorrow, local residents threatened to throng to the office of the PDAM. but purchased in accordance with the previous policy where the price set was IDR 126,000 per tank. How about the water basin usually relied on by residents during water crisis? Widya said there were no residents taking water from it because the water basin with a diameter of about three meters had looked dry and residents did not dare to totally drain the water basin. If it was totally dried out, they worried it would crack and could no longer be used to hold rainwater. “If the water basin dries out, it will crack. As a result, it will be unable to hold rainwater if it rains later on,” said Widya. Meanwhile, Director of the PDAM Klungkung, Gede Darsana, said last Sunday that he was reluctant to respond to the threat of the Bukit Tengah residents. He did not respond

The people of Bukit Tengah, Dawan, Klungkung are walking for miles just to find water when contacted for several times. Previously, when answering the complaints of Bukit Tengah residents on Monday (Sep 9), he said the tank truck of the PDAM was ready to oper-

ate. However, the PDAM could just supply clean water after receiving an order from residents. Then, should the PDAM wait for the people’s rally to supply clean water? (kmb31)

Police increase security To anticipate the coming of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) into Bali, the Jembrana Police lineups increased their alertness and security, Saturday (Sep 14). Even, it was undertaken absolutely strictly. As observation to a number of police stations, the officers in charge were armed with complete weapons. “Indeed, there is no instruction to enforce the state of first alert, but we always call this kind of situation as the state of first alert because we perform the very tight security,” said one of the officers. Chief Unit of the Traffic Affairs of Melaya Police, Jembrana, Raka Wiratma, serving in the Sumbersari post in Melaya said in every post was guarded

by four officers where two officers armed with riffle and one short gun. “We improve the security in response to the information regarding the action carried out by the FPI in Ketapang, Banyuwangi,” he explained. Prior to undertaking the security and placement of personnel in their respective post, it was preceded with troops rally led by the Jembrana Police Chief, Komang Sandi Arsana. Spokesperson of the Jembrana Police, Wayan Setiajaya, with permission from the Chief of Jembrana Police said the personnel involved totally amounted to 502 officers plus the Indonesian Army and Police Brigade. According to him, the measure was intended to respond to the action made by the FPI in Ketapang. “We’d

just like to anticipate any undesirable things. Indeed, there was no instruction for the state of the first alert but the standard operating procedure must be done by increasing and intensifying the security forces,” he explained. Last Saturday, police officers looked ready in Gilimanuk, where every vehicle was inspected closely and so were people and their luggage. The security in Gilimanuk was also equipped with water cannon because there was information if the FPI members would come to Bali after taking action in Banyuwangi in order to resist the implementation of the Miss World 2013 beauty pageant in Bali.

Complaints ignored by PDAM, residents threaten to rally Tengah. However, said Widya, the driver previously delivering the water tank to Bukit Tengah said the tank was indeed available, but strangely the pump was not. So it could not supply clean water as the aspirations of residents of Bukit Tengah. “How strange it is, the tank truck is available, but the pump is not. It other words, it cannot help us,” he said. Widya added that people would ask again the chief of customary village on Monday to write a letter for ordering the clean water supply during the drought at Bukit Tengah. If the letter would not be responded again, people would question directly to the office of the PDAM whether it was really true the pump problem had caused their complaints not to be responded. Residents had affirmed if they were not asking for free water,

“We are not begging but we’d just like to buy. Give us water so that we can drink,” said one of the residents, Gede Widya, Saturday (Sep 14). He said that after the previous complaint, the PDAM had not provided any water supply for Bukit Tengah though the Director of the PDAM Klungkung, Gede Darsana, had expressed his readiness to supply water by tank truck owned by the PDAM provided that there was an order from residents. Even, he said the assistance of one truck of clean water was from the Bali Public Works. “One tank is only enough for one day. We need the supply from the PDAM. We are ready to pay, not ask for free to the PDAM,” he explained. Widya said to have asked for an explanation why the PDAM did not supply clean water to the people of Bukit

Chief of Gilimanuk Marine Police, Made Prihenjagat, said that when being charge of security at the entrances and exits of Bali, Gilimanuk Harbor, his party was always required to remain alert and vigilant. He said that maximal security should still be performed in order to maintain the security of Bali. According to him, the security belonged to standard procedure and had to be carried at all times. As the attention to every troubling incident occurred outside Bali, the officials in Gilimanuk were required to raise their awareness and maximize the number of personnel. Besides, it was also meant to anticipate any criminals from entering into Bali to hide.

Additional troops at post 2 or the entrance of Bali, according to Prihenjagat, had also been done since the beginning of Miss World 2013 in Bali and responded to the police shooting incident. According to Prihenjagat, the multiple examinations against passengers, goods and vehicles entering Bali were conducted carefully. It was meant to ensure that passengers or goods and vehicles entering Bali were not problematic and did not threaten the security if they were allowed to get into Bali. When contacted last Saturday afternoon, Setiajaya said that since the FPI members had dispersed themselves in Banyuwangi, the additional troops were then withdrawn at 3:00 p.m. (120)

Senegalese rappers spin world news on TV program

Apec organizers have completed 80 percent preparations

Associated Press Writer

Antara

NUSA DUA - Organizers have completed about 80 percent of the preparations for the holding of the Asia Pacific Economic (APEC) summit to be held here Next October, National Economic Committee (KEN) Chairman Chairul Tanjung said.

DAKAR, Senegal — The war in Syria isn’t the easiest topic to break down in a brief newscast. But that’s exactly what Senegalese rapper Makhtar “Xuman” Fall does — and throws it down in rhyme no less. “All eyes are turned to the powder keg of the world; To the Middle East where Syria is sitting on a bomb. Dialogue, discussions and negotiations; To legitimize a war you need a coalition.” Fall raps these lines in French from behind a newscaster’s desk, sporting reading glasses and a blazer with his long dreadlocks tied back behind his head. Next he turns to a “guest commentator,” Senegalese rap icon Didier Awadi who adds a few words of his own: “The bastards are getting organized and they want blood ... One more time they want to make us swallow their lies. And even without the proof, they’ll bring out the heavy artillery.” In the span of a program just five minutes long, Fall and his co-host Cheikh “Keyti” Sene tackle everything from the Middle East to local woes like the flooding that disproportionately hits poor suburbs of Senegal’s capital. They even interview people on the street — all of whom can conveniently rap as well. The program “Journal Rappe” is now aired twice a week on a Senegalese television network after it went viral on YouTube earlier this year. In Miss America volunteer Fran McManus, looks at the shoes Miss Pennsylvania Annie Rosellini’s will wear in the 2014 Miss America pageant’s “show us your shoes” parade, at Boardwalk Hall, on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013, in Atlantic City, N.J.

an effort to reach even more fans, Fall raps his portion in French while Sene’s contributions are in the other national language, Wolof. It’s not an identical translation but the two try to offer up rhymes along the same lines. Over the last several years, many rap artists in Senegal were active in anti-government protests that helped lead to the ouster of longtime President Abdoulaye Wade. Their timely and politically tinged lyrics, though, haven’t easily translated into realtime sales. “Unfortunately in Senegal it takes six months to a year to make an album. By that time, the songs are no longer news when they come out,” says Fall, a towering and lanky 40-year-old long active on the Dakar hip-hop scene. Night clubs and neighborhood hangouts radiate rap music in this West African country although most of what is played comes from the United States or France. Hip-hop is wildly popular, and artists here are seen in many ways as modern-day griots, traditional West Africa musical storytellers who pass on history through their songs. It’s a laborious process: The cohosts spend an entire week crafting and filming their tracks for a single

Each week they record their performances together in advance and then gather at a secondfloor apartment to tape them as they voice the lyrics. As buses and horsedrawn carts clack by on the pavement below, they take turns sitting in front of a green sheet.

Two electric fans whirl as more than a dozen men crowd into the room to watch the process. Glasses of Senegalese tea are passed around and cups are shared as one guest stumbles over cramming French President Francois Hollande’s name into his tight lyrics. Sene is a linguist at heart, having

studied translation at university. He speaks French, Wolof and English, and insists there is no topic they can’t break down in verse. In Senegal, though, he admits it’s hard to talk about homosexuality or marabouts, the country’s highly influential Islamic spiritual leaders.

“We almost finish making preparations. About 80 percent of the preparations have been completed,” Chairul said when attending a coordination meeting for the APEC summit preparations here on Sunday. He said that as the steering committee, his side still had three weeks to finish all of the preparations before the summit was held. The series of events of APEC will begin on October 1 and last until 9, 2013. Chairul explained that most of the remaining 20 percent preparations were about infrastructure such as the project with regard to the Ngurah Rai International Airport, hotels and several other technical preparations. “We hope the airport infrastructure would be finished on September 29 but on September 19, it is expected that the use of the airport would be started,” he said. It was reported earlier that some 1,200 business leaders are expected to take part in the APEC CEO Summit to be held in Bali on October 5-7, according to the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics. “Some 1,200 business leaders will come (to Bali) for the APEC CEO

meeting,” the head of the ministry’s information center and public relations, Gatot Dewa Broto said last week. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is slated to open the three-day meeting. The APEC CEO Summit is the Asia-Pacific’s premier business event. It provides unparalleled opportunities for business executives to engage in dialogue with Presidents, Prime Ministers and Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to discover business opportunities through networking with CEOs from hundreds of top Asia-Pacific companies, and to forge connections with economic thought leaders from around the region and the world. Gatot said a number of heads of state, private sector leaders and influential figures in the Asia Pacific region will address a series of meetings to be held ahead of the APEC Summit. A number of world leaders, including US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President China Xi Jinoing have confirmed participation in the summit. This year the summit is themed “Resilient Asia Pacific, and Engine of

Global Growth”. The Ministry of Communication and Informatics has accredited 2,300 journalists around the world to cover the APEC summit. “There is a total of 2,300 journalists that had accredited to cover the APEC Summit since the press registration opened in early August,” Gatot S Dewabroto, told the press following the APEC Summit 2013 Press Briefing last week. Dewabroto noted that the committee accept 180 to 200 registration per day with mostly coming from US, Japan, China, and Russia, besides from Indonesian media. “We predict it would be increased until the registration closing date on September 10,” he said. According to Dewabroto, approximately five thousands people from the 21 APEC economies delegations and journalists to arrive in Bali on next October. “We establish an inter-related team between the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, APEC Committee, and Bali local government to organize this event,” he said.

Dollar speculators take ‘wait-andsee’ strategy Bali Post

DENPASAR - The depreciation of rupiah exchange rate against the dollar does not necessarily enrich the speculators getting involved in the business. Even, they just wait and see because they do not want to hold dollars in large quantities. An economic observer, Prof. Dr. Wayan Ramantha, said the exchange rate that was too high could turn down. Such condition would have a significant impact on the speculators if there was a decrease. “When the dollar exchange rate is too high, the speculators will start to be careful. On that account, it is too risky if speculators buy up dollars at this time. Rupiah has touched IDR 12,000 per dollar. However, it has bounced back to below IDR 12,000,” said Ramantha in Denpasar. According to him, Bank Indonesia (BI) as the regulator would take action against the depreciation of rupiah. It would not keep silent as proved by a number of instruments having been issued by BI to reduce the depreciation of rupiah. “Indonesia still has enough foreign exchange reserves, even over USD 95 billion. BI has not been intervening massively to return the exchange rate,” he said. He said the depreciation of rupiah was more caused by external factors such as the increase in the FED and foreign debt. Not a few foreign investors that withdrew their funds back to their country. Such investors typically belonged to those wishing to invest in short-term in Indonesia. “The depreciation of rupiah even has positive impact on the economy of Bali. So far, the economy of Bali highly depends on trade, hotel and restaurant (PHR). It includes the handicrafts having the export orientation. Most industries in Bali set their tariff in dollar, so that this condition actually benefits,” he said. CEO of BNI for Denpasar Area, Suwaluyo, said the measures of the BI against the depreciation of rupiah and rising of the BI’s rate were appropriate. The increase rate of BI was made Thursday (Aug 29) at 50 basis points, from 6.5 percent to 7 percent. BNI had confidence the policy would not suppress the economic growth. Even though the interest rate of loan rose, banks would not be too overwhelmed because they had also been experiencing higher interest rate of loan. “So, the increase of BI’s rate is made to control the inflation and strengthen rupiah without having a negative effect to the economy. Economic growth is also expected not to be affected because many prospective economic sectors remain to be financed by the banks,” he concluded. He added the current indicator of credit and deposit for Bali stayed normal. Even, the loans and deposits remained to grow relatively high with the growth above the national average (yoy) reaching 22 percent. Data Treasury of the BNI for Denpasar Region indicated that foreign exchange transactions remained normal. There was no surge in transactions due to depreciation against rupiah. Value of transactions in a month stayed in the range of USD 15-20 million. In other words, only a few speculators taking advantage of the depreciation of rupiah. (kmb27)

The actions undertaken by the youths were escorted by the Public Order Officer (Satpol PP) of the Buleleng County. Action of the youth led by the Bali Young Environmentalist (PPLB), Buleleng Community and Manik Bumi NGO started downtown Singaraja and ended in Seririt. Each advertisement stuck on trees was withdrawn together. Even, the nails sticking on trees were also cleaned up. Interestingly, a number of people seeing the action of the youths immediately helped clear up the advertisement and posters nailed on the trees at roadside. Chairman of the PPLB, I Nyoman Suka Ardiyasa, said that withdrawing

of the advertisement on trees was one of the activities in conjunction with the first anniversary of the PPLB. Such an action was carried out considering the proliferation of illegal advertisement that did not comply with the applicable rules and were fastened on shade trees. Aside from harming the trees, installation of the advertisement also disrupted the beauty of scenery. According to him, the advertisement on tree trunks was usually fastened with nails. In addition, there were also com-

Bangli (Bali Post)—

The Bangli government has tried to discipline the hawkers in the Kintamani tourist resort by providing them with identity card. Apparently it has not necessarily been able to give a total comfort to travelers making a visit to the destination. The hawkers are infrequently seen to chase and even force visitors to buy their merchandise. One of them is happening at the area of Kedisan Pier. With the identity card at hand, a number of hawkers even misused it with the pretext of an official hawker in the tourist area. Based on observation in the tourist area of Kedisan Pier, Friday (Sep 13), the visiting travelers seemed to be approached by some hawkers. They usually approached travelers from the parking area and would continue to dog them to the pier. Though neglected, the hawkers selling various kinds of souvenirs incessantly offered their merchandise and asked the travelers to purchase. Even, it was infrequently accompanied with half forcing tone. The identity card hung on the neck was often shown as a sign if their existence was officially approved by the government. Related to that issue, the Promotion Division Head at the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency, I Wayan Bona, when asked for his confirmation on Friday (Sep 13) did not dismiss the condition. He acknowledged that a lot of hawkers in the tourist area of Kintamani peddled their merchandise halfforcibly. He also explained the identification given to the hawkers since 2005 by the government was one of the efforts to discipline the action of hawkers frequently complained by visitors. “Another purpose of giving the identification is to ease the handling of complaints from the public. Any visitors feel to be harmed or made uncomfortable can report the case by mentioning the name to the Culture and Tourism Agency or even to police if they’re indeed considered to have been very disturbing,” he affirmed. Nevertheless, he did not dismiss the persistence of a number of hawkers that were impressed to force visitors to purchase their merchandise. Related to that matter, he admitted to have always been trying to provide guidance for hawkers in the Kintamani tourist area to be more orderly and give comfort to visitors. Unluckily, despite having been reminded repeatedly most hawkers in the tourist area were still stubborn. “Yes, we cannot deny that on the one hand it was quite disturbing, but on the other hand it is their effort to sell their merchandise,” he added. Previously, since the behavior of hawkers often caused discomfort to travelers, China’s travel agencies even had delisted the Kintamani destination from their tour packages. Nevertheless, the Bangli government so far seemed to have not taken any endeavors to restore the image of the Bangli tourism. (ina)

not to hold the annual event this year because the committee is not ready,” said the Committee of the Kuta Karnival 2012, Made Rudika, Friday (Sep 13). Apart from the internal factors of the committee, some policies such as the advertising and change of hamlet chief and chief of custom-

ary village were some factors that caused the Kuta Karnival could not be held this year. Policy on the implementation of the Kuta Karnival was formulated back and the concept would be further refined. To that end, a number of components planned to organize the Kuta Karnival

panies tying their advertisement onto tree trunks by using iron wire. Other than damaging the beauty of urban area, the advertisement on shade trees could damage the trees because the iron nail harmed the tree trunk as pierced by the nails or the bondage of iron wire. “Actually, installation of the advertisement on trees fastened by nails is clearly prohibited in the regional bylaw. Though it has been set forth in the bylaw, people and companies remain to infringe it,” he said. Other than dismantling the advertisement on trees, the youth also carried out other activities such as spreading fish, planting water lily seeds and collecting plastic waste at Lake Tamblingan. Afterward, it was resumed with clean up on Lovina Beach on Sunday (Sep 15). (kmb15)

event every two or three years to make it well programmed. Besides, the related parties, chiefly the committee, were also overwhelmed if the event was held each year. “Actually we have planned to continue this Kuta Karnival event, but it is held once within three or

two years,” he said. Meanwhile, a legislator from Kuta, Badung, I Gusti Anom Gumanti, admitted to agree if the Kuta Karnival would be implemented every three years. With the implementation every three years, it was expected the Kuta Karnival would have a better quality. (kmb25)

Obama says the international community expects Syria to live up to its public commitments to hand over its chemical weapons stockpile. Warning that the U.S. remains prepared to act if Syria falls short, he also cautions that more work remains even after the progress the deal represents “The use of chemical weapons anywhere in the world is an affront to human dignity and a threat to the security of people everywhere,” Obama said in a statement Saturday. “We have a duty to preserve a world free from the fear of chemical weapons for our children. Today marks an important step towards achieving this goal.” In setting out one of the most ambitious armscontrol efforts in history, U.S. and Russian officials reached an agreement calling for an inventory of Syria’s chemical weapons program and seizing all its components. The agreement includes imposing penalties if Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government fails to comply. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams had been meeting day and night in Geneva to develop a framework for ridding the world of Syria’s chemicals weapons. A gas attack in the Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21prompted a series of events leading to the meetings. The U.S. and others blame Assad’s government for the attack, though Assad denies the charge. More than

1,400 people died, according to U.S. estimates, the latest victims of Syria’s 2½-year-old civil war. Yet polls showed relatively little support among Americans for a military strike against Syria, even after the Obama administration’s efforts to argue that punishing the Assad government for violating international norms of warfare was in the security interests of the U.S. Obama ordered preparations for American airstrikes, but he decided instead to ask for authorization from Congress for military action. Then came the Russian proposal for international control of Syria’s chemical weapons, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote. The deal to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons also offers the potential for reviving international peace talks to end a civil war that has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sent 2 million refugees fleeing for safety, and now threatens the stability of the entire Mideast. In Congress, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are among Obama’s sharpest foreign policy critics and support greater U.S. assistance for Syria’s rebels, said the agreement will embolden enemies such as Iran. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California credited the president’s “steadfast leadership” for “making significant progress in our efforts to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction.”

Spain rejects referendum sought by separatists

Associated Press Writer

MADRID - Spain’s prime minister has rejected a request by the leader of Catalonia to approve a referendum that would allow the northeastern region to decide whether to secede from the rest of the country. In a written reply, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told Artur Mas, leader of the economically powerful region, “the ties that bind us together cannot be undone without enormous cost” and that the two politicians should hold talks instead. Rajoy’s answer Saturday officially rebuffs the pro-separatist request Mas made in July. Spain’s constitution says only the central government can call a referendum. More than 1 million people showed support for Catalan independence on Wednesday by joining hands to form a 400-kilometer (250-mile) human chain across the region. Polls indicate about half of Catalonia’s 7.5 million inhabitants favor independence.

EU finance ministers seek progress on bank closures plan

DENPASAR - A troupe of Indian artists from the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra of Delhi will visit Bali and will perform ancient Ramayana dances in three locations for five days to start on Sunday. “The visit is arranged through cooperation between Indian Consulate and a number of agencies in Bali,” Virender K. Jatav of the Indian consulate said. Virender said the Indian artists will perform at the Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) of Denpasar on Sunday, at Gianyar Cultural Center on Monday and at Museum of Puri Lukisan Ratna Warta Ubud, in Gianyar on Thursday. Ramayana has traditional values, universal still relevant until today, he said. “The legend of Ramayana has a series of episodes telling about the conquest of evil by good,” he said. He said he hoped the Ramayana shows would contribute to strengthen cultural relations between Indonesia and India.

VILNIUS - EU finance ministers met Saturday to seek progress on how to close down a failing bank before it damages the underlying economy, a divisive issue for those reluctant to hand more power to Brussels. Sharp differences emerged Friday at informal talks in Vilnius over a planned Banking Union, the new regulatory framework meant to ensure that the taxpayer no longer foots the bill for bailing out over-extended bans. The idea was accepted initially as essential to head off future crises, but several member states, including Germany and non-euro Britain, are now uneasy about how it will be implemented in practice. “So far there have been cannon shots going back and forth,” Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said as he went into Saturday’s meeting. Dijsselbloem, who is also head of the 17 eurozone finance ministers group, added: “We will have an interesting debate over the next few months ... we should have these discussions rather quickly and finish by November, December.” He insisted that the Banking Union plan was not being watered down, noting that much progress had been made, with the first step, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, approved Thursday by the European Parliament. The sticking point now is a proposed Single Resolution Mechanism that will work with the SSM and in time be followed by Deposit Guarantee System to reassure depositors that their money is safe even at times of stress. The current plan is for the SRM to operate under the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, but that would mean a huge expansion of its powers. EU Financial Markets Commissioner Michel Barnier, who described Friday’s exchanges as a “challenging debate”, repeated that the Commission was not looking to take on the job but it had to take the lead given the need to stabilise the banking system and get it lending again to business. “If someone comes up with a better idea, I am ready to work on it,” he said. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble made no comment as he arrived, but on Friday he said that while the SRM could go ahead initially, a better mechanism would need changes to the EU’s core treaty. Reopening the treaty is potentially fraught as old issues which took years to nail down could be revisted.

British car industry roars by European rivals Agence France-Presse

LONDON - Britain is accelerating away from its European competitors in the carmaking sector with investment flowing into the factories of Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover as Chinese and American demand drives sales. Jaguar Land Rover said Tuesday it was pumping £1.5 billion (1.8 billion euros, $2.4 billion) into its plant in Solihull near Birmingham, creating 1,700 jobs and giving a welcome fillip to industrial central England. The Solihull plant will make new lightweight Jaguar and Land Rover models made of aluminium. In northeast England, Nissan has been granted permission to extend its already vast plant in Sunderland, securing jobs in

an area where major employers are in short supply. The investment decision was announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show by JLR chief executive Ralf Speth, who said it was “further evidence of our commitment to advancing the capability of the UK automotive sector and its supply chain”. JLR now employs 11,000 people in Britain, with another 24,000 employed in its supply chain. Joe Rundle, an analyst at ETX Capital,

credited the British government with reviving an industry that once looked close to extinction. “The UK automaking industry was considered a dying sector as car factories produced high volume motors by low-skilled manufacturing,” he said. “However, the UK government’s initiatives to kick-start manufacturing activity is turning the country’s auto making industry into one of premium niche manufacturing.” The government announced in March that it was pumping £500 million into the auto sector. Demand from China and the recovering US economy are credited with driving sales.

Japan leads importers of Bali’s aquatic products

DENPASAR - Japan took the lead among 10 importers of Bali’s aquatic products during the first five months of 2013, with a value of US$16.5 million or 37.05 percent of the province’s total aquatic exports. Japan was closely followed by the United States (25.45 percent), China (10.58 percent), Australia

(3.52 percent), Hong Kong (3.16 percent), France (0.72 percent), and Singapore (0.44 percent), reported

Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Office in Bali Province Gede Suarsa. Aquatic exports to the Netherlands accounted for 0.98 percent of the province’s total aquatic exports in the same period, while Britain accounted for 0.47 percent, trailed by Germany at 0.96 percent. The remaining 16.67 percent of

the province’s aquatic exports, with a value of US$33.54 million, for the entire year ending on May 31, 2013, went to other countries, he said. Aquatic exports from January to May 2013 represent a 16.95 percent increase in earnings compared with the US$38.41 million increase in the same period last year. The fisheries sector contributed

20.54 percent of the province’s overall exports, which stood at US$216.92 million in the year ending May 31, 2013. Gede Suarsa noted that fresh and frozen tuna had contributed the most to the country’s foreignexchange earnings among the eight types of aquatic products exported that year.

Cattle and buffalo population in Bali worrisome Bali Post

DENPASAR - Cattle and buffalo population in Bali is increasingly worrisome. Based on the census results of the Central Statistic Agency (BPS) of Bali, the cattle and buffalo population within the past two years in Bali has decreased 161,087 heads from 639,793 heads in 2011 to only 478,706 heads in 2013. Chairman of the Cattle Research Center, Udayana University, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Suparta said the livestock population in Bali showed a negative growth of 13.50 per year. “It’s quite surprising for us, what is wrong with such great shrinkage. Is there any fault with the census, or is it really the fact?” asked Nyoman Suparta in

Denpasar. According to him, among the nine counties and municipality in Bali, three counties namely the Karangasem, Buleleng and Bangli had the most cattle and buffalo population. Karangasem County located at the eastern end of the island had the total cattle and buffalo population of 109,336 heads, then it was followed by Buleleng (92,680 heads) and Bangli (74,214 heads). Meanwhile, Denpasar Municipality only had 6,495 cattle and buffalo population. “It requires us to introspect on the mistaken policies. When such minus condition also occurs in other provinces, this may be a cause of failure to achieve the selfsufficiency in meat in Indonesia,”

he said. In terms of the decline, the Buleleng County ranked first reaching 43,657 heads. This represented the greatest decline in cattle and buffalo population in the period of 2011 to 2013. Meanwhile, the lowest decrease occurred in Denpasar reaching only 1,686 heads. “Without taking immediate strategic steps, the Bali cattle can be extinct in Bali. It’s a great sin for the generation and current policy holders. To that end, a meeting should be promptly made to discuss this issue seriously,” he said. Nyoman Suparta advised the government to make immediate control against the delivery of cattle, control against the slaugh-

ter of female cattle, and provided incentives for farmers breeding cattle. “Maintaining the land for the procurement of fodder and the willingness of the government to buy good quality cattle that had to be sold by breeders must also be done,” he suggested. Representative of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Bali, Yudhadi, previously said the declining number of cattle in Bali could not be separated from the policy of Bali government that allowed the delivery of Bali cattle to outside the island officially as set for in the gubernatorial regulation. “It is the officially recorded in the BPMP, but the unrecorded and uncontrolled number also amount to

a lot. The official ones, in our opinion, are not 100 percent appropriate with their report because it has become the character of our society,” he said. He mentioned, to keep the cattle population in Bali, the governments had to prohibit the slaughter of female cattle by providing incentives to the owners, so the reproduction would not discontinue. “When we made a survey at the Sanggaran slaughter house, there are 50 cattle in line for slaughter each day. Of the totally cattle, 12 of them are female while others are male,” he said. To that end, he hoped that some parts of the regulations or rules issued by the government could be consistently applied, so that Bali cattle would not extinct. (kmb27)

Japan PM’s Fukushima remark backfires at home Associated Press Writer

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s reassurance to the International Olympic Committee that contaminated water leaks from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant are “under control” has backfired at home. Just hours before Tokyo was chosen Sept. 7 to host the 2020 Olympics, Abe gave an emphatic speech declaring that radioactive contaminants from the leakage had no impact to waters outside the bay near the plant and “will never do any damage to Tokyo.” The Japanese media and opposition lawmakers have suggested that Abe’s comments were overkill. “Contaminated water ‘control’ running astray,” the nationwide Asahi newspaper said in its frontpage top story Saturday. “Credibility of prime minister’s message to overseas is shaking.” Hikariko Ono of the prime minister’s office defended Abe’s pledge, citing offshore monitoring results showing undetectable radioactivity. The government has stepped up efforts to contain the leaks.

In a meeting with opposition Democratic Party of Japan lawmakers Friday, senior TEPCO official Kazuhiko Yamashita said the water situation was “not under control,” appearing to contradict Abe. DPJ leaders said they will demand Abe clarify his IOC speech. TEPCO later issued a statement to explain that what Yamashita meant was isolated incidents such as tank leaks and did not dispute Abe’s comment. Japanese officials have acknowledged that the ground water contaminated with radioactive leaks from the melted reactors has been seeping into the ocean since soon after the March 2011 disaster. Recent leaks from storage tanks holding radioactive water have also added to concerns. The plant has been reporting spikes in radioactive tritium from

underground water samples near a major tank leak last month. TEPCO said Saturday tritium in the latest sample measured 150,000 becquerels per liter, more than twice the limit allowed for release into the ocean. Experts generally agree that overall impact from the contamination gets diluted becomes negligible as it further spreads into the sea. Lake Barrett, a former US nuclear regulator and an outside advisor to TEPCO, agrees with Abe. “Now, to get into a little, tiny detail about it, is there a little, tiny bit of runoff that may have cesium in it? The answer is, yes there is, but that’s still under control from a public health and safety and environmental protection point of view,” he told the Associated Press.

CAIRO - An Egyptian judge on Saturday named top security officials to testify in the retrial of former President Hosni Mubarak on charges related to the killings of around 900 protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to his ouster. The 85-year-old longtime autocrat’s previous conviction for failing to stop the killings was overturned on appeals earlier this year, leaving still open questions about who ordered the use of deadly force against protesters and who carried out those orders. The naming of former prison and top intelligence officials in the case appeared to intertwine Mubarak’s trial with accusations facing his successor, Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted in a popularly-backed coup July 3 just one year after his election. Morsi has been held since at an undisclosed military facility and is being investigated on allegations that he and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders conspired with the Palestinian Hamas group in the neighboring Gaza Strip to escape from prison during the anti-Mubarak uprising. That allegation was raised again in court Saturday by defense lawyers who suggested that Hamas militants were behind the attacks on prisons and police stations in the northern Sinai Peninsula, which borders Gaza. As the trial resumed, the army continued its largest offensive in years against militants in northern Sinai. Security officials said Saturday they uncovered explosives aimed at an Egyptian border post near a tunnel from Gaza, with a detonating wire leading back through a tunnel to Gaza. Military intelligence officials said the discovery was another sign that Gaza-based militants are involved in attacks on Egyptian security forces. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Over the past weeks, the military has bulldozed homes along the Gaza border and caved in tunnels beneath them in preparations for creating a buffer zone to reduce weapon smuggling and militant crossings. Brotherhood and Hamas officials have long denied any connection to the prison breaks or attacks on security forces in Sinai. The Brotherhood says the allegations are part of a propaganda blitz that has portrayed the group as a terrorist organization that must be banned. “The authority of power and of the coup turned the victims into the perpetrators and the perpetrators into the victims... completely and clearly surpassing the simplest rules of justice, which are essential to the viability and stability of nations,” the Brotherhood said in a statement Saturday.

INDONESIA President Obama to visit Indonesia Antara

JAKARTA - US President Barack Obama will travel to Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and the Philippines from October 6 to 12, according to the US Embassy here on its official website on Sunday. The US president’s tour of the Asian countries is as part of his commitment to increase US political, economic and security engagement with the Asia Pacific. In Indonesia, he will attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders meeting. APEC is the region’s leading forum for trade and investment integration. On the margins of the APEC meeting, the President will host a meeting of Leaders of the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries. He will also meet with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to reaffirm US-RI close bilateral ties and celebrate

the third year of their Comprehensive Partnership. The President will then travel to Brunei for the U.S.-ASEAN Summit and the East Asia Summit (EAS) and to meet with the Sultan of Brunei. ASEAN and the EAS are key forums for regional multilateral cooperation. During those meetings the President will discuss the wide range of U.S. cooperation in the Asia Pacific region, including energy, maritime security, investment, development and trade promotion, as well as other topics of regional and global concern. “In Malaysia, the President will meet with Prime Minister Najib of Malaysia to highlight our growing

bilateral ties with Malaysia, and will deliver the keynote address to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit,” the US embassy said. Now in its fourth year, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit is an initiative the President announced in 2009 to spur job creation through entrepreneurship by connecting young innovators to resources, ideas, and each other. The President will then travel to the Philippines, the fifth Asian treaty ally he has visited during his presidency. He will meet with President Aquino to reaffirm the strong economic, peopleto-people, and security links between the two countries.

JAKARTA - Thousands of villagers fled Sunday after a volcano erupted on Indonesia’s Sumatra island spewing rocks and red-hot ash onto surrounding villages, officials said. Mount Sinabung in Karo district, North Sumatra province, erupted violently before dawn. “More than 3,000 people have been evacuated from areas within a threekilometre (two-mile) radius of the volcano, and they are all safe,” Asren Nasution, the head of North Sumatra disaster agency, told AFP. Five halls normally used for traditional cultural ceremonies had been converted into shelters for those displaced. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, national disaster agency spokesman, said 3,710 people had so far been evacuated. Nugroho said it was second recent eruption of Sinabung. The volcano was dormant for nearly 100 years before erupting in August and September 2010, forcing about 12,000 people to flee. Indonesia has dozens of active volcanoes and straddles major tectonic fault lines known as the “Ring of Fire” between the Pacific and Indian oceans. Last month five people were killed and hundreds evacuated when a volcano on a tiny island in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted. The country’s most active volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, killed more than 350 people in a series of violent eruptions in 2010.

Masterful Mayweather defeats Alvarez to remain unbeaten

Dalem Balingkang Temple IBP

Dalem Balingkang Temple situated in a remote area at the northern side of Lake Batur. It is situated on the eastern part of Penulisan Hill, some 40 kms from Bangli Town, precisely in Pinggan Village, Kinatamani District. The place is easy to reach with vehicles. Reaching the parking area, a guest should go on foot for some 500 meters to reach the temple. The word Balingkang translates King of Bali. The temple once served as the palace for the King of Bali. Based on folklore, in the 11th century, there was a king named Sri Kesari Waradewa who had a Chinese wife, a pricess of Chung Dynasty, Tang Ci Keng. The marriage between the two was told in Barong Landung Dance that still can be seen in Bali to date. Even the palace it self has been influenced by Chinese design and architectural styles, among others, the building of Gedong Mas and Pelinggih Ida Ratu Ayu. Chinese influence has also left Balinese old coins to have in one of the sides, Balinese characteristics, as God related symbols, which remain in use to date.

LAS VEGAS - American Floyd Mayweather produced a masterclass as he outboxed Saul Canelo Alvarez to take the Mexican’s WBA and WBC super welterweight titles by majority decision in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The previously unbeaten Alvarez began by attempting to slow down Mayweather with stiff jabs and hooks to the body, but in response Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs) snapped back his head with jabs of his own. The more Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KOs) stepped forward and became aggressive, the more he left himself vulnerable to Mayweather’s rapid counterpunches. After a relatively quiet opening few rounds, Mayweather began to open up in the fourth, snapping back Alvarez’s head with a succession of jabs and then landing a sweeping right at the bell. In the fifth, Mayweather stood in the pocket in front of Alvarez and landed a series of combinations that rattled his opponent. When Alvarez attempted to pin Mayweather in the corner in the seventh, the American slipped most

of his punches and answered with a right hand, followed by a sequence of jabs and an uppercut, before backing the Mexican to the ropes and picking him apart. It was the same in the 10th, Mayweather turning defense into offense as he landed counters off the ropes and sent Alvarez into retreat. “I think if I had pressed the attack earlier, I could have got the stoppage. I like taking my time. But it was a great fight,” five-division world champion Mayweather said. By the end, Alvarez cut a forlorn figure, following Mayweather around the ring as his foe retreated and circled to lure him into a trap. The final result appeared a formality, and it was a surprise when one of the judges scored the bout a draw. She was overruled by scores of 117111 and 116-112, which also seemed

close but may have reflected the fact that Mayweather, seemingly confident of victory, effectively coasted through the final couple of rounds. “I couldn’t connect,” Alvarez conceded. “He was very elusive and intelligent. He has a lot of experience and I honestly couldn’t find him. In the late rounds, I was frustrated. I recognize he beat me. He’s a great fighter.” Mayweather praised his fallen foe. “I fought a true champion tonight,” he said. “A guy like that can take a loss and bounce back from it.

Czech Republic reaches Davis Cup final Associated Press Writer

PRAGUE - The Czech Republic reached the Davis Cup final again after Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek won their doubles to give the defending champion an unbeatable 3-0 lead over Argentina on Saturday. Berdych and Stepanek dispatched Carlos Berlocq and Horacio Zeballos 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 to improve their formidable record in Davis Cup doubles to 13-1, and ensure the Czechs will defend their title against Serbia or Canada in the final in November. Regardless of who wins between Serbia and Canada, the Czechs will have to travel to the final. “We would like to keep the trophy because it’s beautiful,” Stepanek said. “This competition means a lot to us.” Berdych converted the first match point of the semifinal with a service winner to send the Czechs to a third final in five years in front of more than 11,000 fans at O2 Arena. “It’s an honor for us to play in such an atmosphere,” Stepanek, who was jumping on the court in joy with other members of the squad, told the crowd. “You’re fantastic.” The Czechs never lost serve, saving two Argentine break opportunities to clinch their eighth straight cup victory.

Bale scores in Madrid debut, a draw at Villarreal Associated Press Writer

BARCELONA, Spain — Gareth Bale had a bittersweet debut for Real Madrid following his world-record transfer fee, as he scored but his new team drew 2-2 at Villarreal on Saturday. The draw left Barcelona and Atletico Madrid as the only perfect teams through four rounds in the Spanish league following their wins. Barcelona needed an injury-time goal by Alexis Sanchez to edge Sevilla 3-2 after conceding two late goals at home, while Atletico rolled to a 4-2 win over Almeria. “That last goal was all heart,” Alexis said. Other than Bale’s goal in the 38th minute, Madrid was outplayed in the first half and only Diego Lopez’s goalkeeping kept it 1-1 by halftime after Ruben “Cani” Garcia beat him in the 21st. Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo hit off the break two minutes after an exhausted Bale was substituted in the 62nd, but Cani’s hard strike led to Giovani Dos Santos netting the rebound to split the points in the 70th. Madrid will have to regroup in time for Tuesday’s Champions League opener at Galatasaray. Madrid broke its own transfer milestone for Ronaldo by paying Tottenham 100 million euro ($132 million) to acquire Bale at the close of the summer transfer window. Even though Bale had

played only a few minutes this season in a match with Wales last week, he responded to the start coach Carlo Ancelotti gave him by equalizing to silent Villarreal’s rabid attack. “I think Bale is happy for having scored in his first game with Madrid,” Ancelotti said. “He played in a game that was difficult for everybody. He showed a good attitude on the pitch.” All eyes at El Madrigal Stadium may have been on Bale, but Villarreal’s starting 11 were the only players shining early as its forwards’ blistering pace had Madrid struggling to keep up. Lopez, the former Villarreal goalie, could do nothing to keep out Cani’s shot when he scooped in a ball lost by Jonathan Pereira. Bale turned the match in Madrid’s favor when he slipped inside his marker and met Daniel Carvajal’s low cross, tapping the ball over the line before goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo could arrive. Bale went close with a

swerving long strike three minutes after halftime, but Villarreal again let a golden chance escape when Jaume Costa stroked wide after Dos Santos had drawn Lopez off his line. Ancelotti took off Bale and new midfielder Asier Illarramendi, who also debuted for Madrid, with Bale looking as winded as expected considering his lack of playing time. Ronaldo enjoyed a lucky bounce to score when his hard shot hit off a defender and then ricocheted off the Portugal forward’s own shin and into the net. Villarreal didn’t wilt, however, and Dos Santos drove the ball beyond Lopez after he parried a long strike by Cani. “We were close to the win but a draw against a team like Madrid is good,” said Cani, whose Villarreal had won its first three games as well. “Even so, we are left with that nagging feeling that it’s not every day you have a chance to beat Madrid.”

Dunga sees positive even in donkey chant Reuters

Internacional and former Brazil coach Dunga says he has no problem in being labelled a donkey, suggesting it might even be something of a compliment. “Calling me a donkey doesn’t offend me because they are one of the most hard-working animals,” the former Brazil captain told reporters. Dunga, who led Brazil to the quarter-finals at the 2010 World Cup, was greeted with chants of

“donkey, donkey” as his side were held to a 2-2 draw by Vitoria in a Brazilian championship match on Thursday. “We’re always under pressure and we always have to try and improve,” he added. “It’s not the first, nor the last, time that it’s going to happen.” Inter, who visit Criciuma on Sunday, have drawn half of their 20 games in the competition, although they are still fifth in the 20-team table.

Everton ends Mourinho’s unbeaten return to Chelsea Associated Press Writer

MANCHESTER, England - Jose Mourinho endured his first Premier League loss since returning to Chelsea at Everton on Saturday, while Manchester City was frustrated in a draw at Stoke. For Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham, however, there were routine victories as the league swung back into action for the first time since the transfer window closed in the international break. Samuel Eto’o failed to make an immediate scoring impact on his Chelsea debut as Steven Naismith gave Everton a 1-0 win. Naismith headed into the net from close range in first-half stoppage time on his 27th birthday after Nikica Jelavic nodded the ball across to the forward. While it was Roberto Martinez’s first win as Everton manager after three draws, Chelsea has two wins from four league matches since Mourinho - the self-styled “Special One” - returned after six years. “It was a special game, a special opposition and a very good performance,” Martinez said. Mourinho saw things differently. “We didn’t deserve to lose because we were the best team because we played the best football because we dominated the whole game,” he said. Arsenal reaped some early reward from its decision to spend a club-record 50 million euros ($66 million) on Mesut Ozil on transfer deadline day two weeks ago. The Germany playmaker set up Olivier Giroud for the opener before in-form Aaron Ramsey scored twice in a 3-1 win at Sunderland. A third straight win maintained Arsenal’s resurgence after a demoralizing opening-day defeat to Aston Villa. “You’ve seen what he is all about, slipping those balls in,” Ramsey said of Ozil, who was substituted after 80 minutes on his debut. “He has one of highest assist rates in Europe and he is going to create a lot of opportunities for us.” Manchester City’s mixed start to the season continued by scraping a 0-0 draw at Stoke. United was also far from fluent in a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace that turned on a contentious decision to send off Kagisho Dikgacoi in the 43rd minute for a foul on Ashley Young. Despite the challenge coming outside the area, a penalty was awarded - and converted by Robin van Persie - before Wayne Rooney curled in an 81st-minute free kick to hand David Moyes a first success at Old Trafford. Rooney was playing with a thick headband to cover a deep cut to the forehead sustained in a training-ground incident two weeks ago. Tottenham began life without Gareth Bale, who joined Real Madrid two weeks ago, by outclassing Norwich 2-0 with a double from Gylfi Sigurdsson, who was set up for his first goal by new signing Christian Eriksen. Arsenal and Tottenham are level on nine points while the Manchester rivals both are on 7. Liverpool protects its perfect start to the season when it plays Swansea on Monday.

Barcelona hit with injury to Spain fullback Alba Reuters

M A D R I D - B a r c e l o n a ’s Spain left back Jordi Alba will be sidelined for around three weeks after he damaged a hamstring in Saturday’s 3-2 La Liga win at home to Sevilla, the club said on Sunday. “Jordi Alba had more tests on Sunday morning to assess the exact extent of the injury he picked up during the first half

of the match against Sevilla,” Barca said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.es). “Medical staff confirmed the player sustained a tear in his right hamstring,” they added. “The estimated time he will be out of action is approximately three weeks.” Alba, who was replaced by Adriano in the 14th minute of the clash at the Nou Camp, will miss Barca’s Champions

League Group H games against Ajax Amsterdam and Celtic. He will also be unavailable for some or all of the champions’ La Liga matches against Rayo Vallecano, Real Sociedad, Almeria and Real Valladolid. The 24-year-old should return in time for Spain’s remaining two World Cup Group I qualifiers at home to Belarus and Georgia on Oct. 11 and Oct. 15 respectively.

A.C. Milan Mario Balotelli celebrates after scoring the final equalizer on a penalty kick during a Serie A soccer match between Torino and A.C. Milan at the Olympic stadium, in Turin, Italy, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013. The match ended in a 2 - 2 tie.

Napoli top Serie A, Balotelli penalty saves Milan Reuters

ROME - Goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon sent Napoli top of Serie A after they beat Atalanta 2-0 on Saturday while an injury-time Mario Balotelli penalty helped AC Milan come from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw at Torino. A superb equaliser from Arturo Vidal earned Juventus a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan in the day’s early game, an intriguing Derby of Italy which suggested Walter Mazzari’s Inter side could challenge for the title this season. Walter Mazzari’s Inter took the lead against reigning champions Juventus on 73 minutes through Mauro Icardi’s first goal for the club, but the away side equalised through Vidal two minutes later. Napoli maintained their 100 percent record to move to nine points, while Inter and Juve are two points behind and Milan are in sixth place with four. Argentine Higuain’s second goal of the season came in the 71st minute of Napoli’s tense match with Atalanta, in which Rafael Benitez’s side struggled to break down the away side and had a flying Pepe Reina save to thank for not going behind to German Denis’ long-range effort two minutes after the break. The hosts started quickly, but

after Goran Pandev failed to convert an easy looking chance in the 13th minute they laboured and it took until the introduction of Jose Callejon and Marek Hamsik midway through the second half for Napoli to take charge. Hamsik’s aggressive pressing led to the opening goal, with the ball falling to former Real Madrid striker Higuain who rolled home a calm finish. “For me the important thing is that Marek Hamsik is a Napoli player. He came off the bench and made the difference today,” said Benitez, who also praised Callejon’s display. “His movement is different to (Lorenzo) Insigne’s, who is different to (Dries) Mertens, Pandev or Hamsik, so we have these five players who can do something different and that gives me something to work with as a coach.” It was Callejon who sealed the three points with his third goal in as many games, another composed strike following neat play from Insigne and Blerim Dzemaili, who back-heeled a delightful assist to the Spaniard. Milan looked down and out 71 minutes into their clash with Torino, after two superb goals from Danilo D’Ambrosio and Alessio Cerci.

return to the Milan midfield after his move from Real Madrid, barely making a dent in the Torino defence before being substituted a minute before Cerci struck, and will have to up their game with for the Champions League visit of Celtic on Wednesday. “I’m not worried at all. There’s things that need sorting out just like last year there were things that need sorting out,” said Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri. It was a bizarre Sulley Muntari goal eight minutes from time, in which the midfielder scuffed a shot past outof-position Torino keeper Daniele Padelli, which brought Milan back into the match. As Milan players celebrated noone appeared to sure if the goal had even been awarded, with Balotelli both looking offside and seemingly having fouled Padelli in the build up to the goal. Italy striker Balotelli atoned for missing an easy chance in the 74th minute when he stepped up to slot home the equalising spot kick deep in stoppage time and snatch an unlikely and undeserved point. After Icaro had fired Inter ahead following fine work from Ricky Alvarez, Juve secured a point when Vidal expertly controlled Kwadwo Asamoah’s drilled cross before clipping past Inter keeper Samir Handanovic for his third goal in as many games.
