Andie MacDowell stuns in coral gown

CANNES — Proving that age is no barrier to beauty, a radiant Andie MacDowell went for some oldfashioned va-va-voom in an Elie Saab gown in coral on the Cannes red carpet. The 57-year-old “Four Weddings and a Funeral” star wore a cinched column look for the Monday evening premiere of Pixar’s latest of-

fering, “Inside Out.” The setting sun glistened warmly off the gown’s sparkling embellishments, and a daring deep V-neckline oozed sensuality and confidence. MacDowell outshone many actresses half her age — quite the accomplishment, given the star wattage at this film festival on the French Riviera. (ap)

Pixar gets ‘Inside’ our heads with latest animation

CANNES - Pixar went underwater with “Finding Nemo”, into the toybox with “Toy Story” and now it’s going inside our brains with its latest, “Inside Out”. The US animation studio, now part of the Disney empire, on Monday was presenting its latest cartoon feature at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of a June worldwide rollout expected to do big family boxoffice business. The film delves into the imagination -- literally -- by portraying human emotions of Joy, Anger, Disgust and Sadness as distinct characters, who sit at the control panel in the mind “Headquarters”

of a young girl, Riley. Her mindscape also features “cities” representing her main personality traits, and a maze-like memory bank. Director Pete Docter (who also made the Pixar hits “Up” and “Monsters, Inc.”) said the anthropomorphic approach came from watching his own 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth and wondering what was going on inside her head. “Emotions are not really little people running around in your head -- I hope that doesn’t spoil anything for anybody. But in the film they are and that’s a fairly good way of thinking about it,” he told AFP in

an interview. Producer Jonas Rivera added that the team thought: “We like to make movies that have emotion, why not make one about emotions, right?” The English-language version of the picture features the voices of “Parks and Recreation” star Amy Poehler, “Twin Peaks” actor Kyle MacLachlan and the ever-adaptable Hollywood actress Diane Lane. Although not in the Cannes competition for the Palme d’Or, the official screening slot on the Riviera on Monday gives valuable and global media attention to the movie.

Other animations that have launched in Cannes in years past include “Up” from Pixar, and “Shrek” and “Shrek 2” from rival studio DreamWorks. Pixar, founded by George Lucas and financed by late Apple boss Steve Jobs, made a big opening splash with “Toy Story” and went from strength to strength with “Monsters, Inc.”, “Finding Nemo” and “The Incredibles”. In 2006, Disney bought the studio for $7.4 billion. Under the Mouse House, it came up with hits in the form of “Ratatouille”, “WALL-E”, “Up” and “Brave”. (afp)

The Ministry of Tourism’s target of 20 million tourist arrivals for 2019 has brought up a question in many peoples minds. Chairman of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Bali Chapter, Tjok Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, said that Bali is actually at a crossroads because Regional Bylaw No.2/2012 on cultural tourism is still in effect.

Bali tourism hangs out at crossroads

DENPASAR - The Ministry of Tourism’s target of 20 million tourist arrivals for 2019 has brought up a question in many peoples minds. Chairman of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Bali Chapter, Tjok Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, said that Bali is actually at a crossroads because Regional Bylaw No.2/2012 on cultural tourism is still in effect. “If the regulation is still maintained, then the target is unrealistic. And we do not want to obtain that number of tourist visits as it will be bad for us,” he said. As has already happened in South Bali, the concept of cultural tourism has already started to be abandoned,with a shift towards the concept of so-called ‘creative tourism’ and ‘modern tourism’. If we are trying toreach that target, then the only way to do so is to cluster Bali into zones designated for ‘modern tourism’ and others for ‘cultural tourism’. “We’ve already gone too far. We talk about cultural tourism, but in on in the field this

concept has been neglected because the current tourist visits are more focused on partying,” he added. According to Tjok Sukawati, Bali should maintain its identity with cultural tourism because this is the unique aspect of Bali that other regions to not have. “Even if modern tourism has already developed in certain regions, let it develop only in that location and not have it spread to other areas,” he said. Such restriction however are hard

to impose because based on Law No. 32, autonomy lies at the county level so counties that are unable to enjoy the benefits of tourism directly will complain. Besides, domestic tourists are less interest in the culture, and more in artificial tourism. “If we want to attract domestic tourists, we of course have to prepare attractions that suite their interests which natural will adversely affect cultural tourism,” he added. The key to the tourism dilemma

is for the government -as the policy maker, to control both types of tourism. “On the one hand, we must receive domestic travelers, while on the other hand we must not lose our identity,” he said. In terms of trying to reach the target of 20 million tourist by 2010, he said that hotel rooms are in fact already over abundant. Based on the latest data disclosed by Cok Ace, only 55 percent of star-rated hotels and 33 percent of non-star hotels in Bali ever get filled. “This means that there is already enough room to increase tourist arrivals,” he said. The worry lies in infrastructure. The central government has increased the budget for tourism

promotion to IDR 1.2 trillion. “The worry is that this is not being followed up with the construction of other facilities such as transportation with the provision of terminals, airports, road infrastructure, etc,” he explained. This tourism promotion will have a boomerang effect if it is not done in conjunction with other departments.

Attacked by disease, Cocoa harvest slumps by 70 percent

BANGLI - Cacao farmers at Yangapi hamlet, Tembuku subdistrict are frustrated because their cacao pods decomposed due to disease attack. As a result, the harvest drops by 70 percent. In addition, the price of dry beans also drops. One of the local farmers, Wayan Randat, said on Tuesday that the disease has been going on for years so that it makes him dither. The disease does not only attack the mature cacao, but also the ones of thumbsized. He told that before falling down, the small cacao pods are turning yellow and perished. Similarly, before getting ripe the mature pods also turns pale yellow and eventually dry and lead to crop failure. “This disease has attacked from several years ago. Many cacao flowers and small pods fall down,” he said. He said further that the disease has an impact on dramatic decline of crop yields reaching 70 percent. It does not only affect the harvest but also has an impact on the fate of farmers because the price of cacao drops. Previously, the price of dry cacao bean reached IDR 30,000 per kg, but now it drops to IDR 10,000 per kg. In addition, the recent harvest season was erratic. In May farmers

have usually harvested and ends around October. In contrast to the current condition, the signs of the harvest have not emerged. Other than attacking the pod, the disease also attacks the cacao tree trunk which causes immediate death. “The harvest yields plummeted and so did the price of dried bean,” he said. In order to reduce diseases, so far a number of farmers are still confused to find out the right insecticide to eliminate. Temporarily, local farmers can only cut down the tree branch with the aim to multiply the penetration of sunlight. “We do not yet know about the remedy used to eliminate the disease. All that we can do is to cut down the tree branches,” he said. Randat hoped that related agencies are able to provide solutions to reduce the disease attack considering the cacao plantation became one of the sources of their livelihood. When asking for confirmation separately, the Head of the Bangli Agriculture, Plantation and Forestry Agency, AAN Sambha, said that his party will conduct a review to the field. “We will do a review to the field in order to identify the disease attack,” he said.

Allegedly 158 students who would be graduating to grade 6 after the exam, instead chose to quit school. Ariyasa, said that the Karangasem Education Agency will be looking into the reasons why there is such a high drop out rate, but for now the final exams are too imminent to do anything about encouraging these students to stay in school. Aritasa explained that the most important factor in ensuring that children complete they studies is support from the community, especially from parents who should not push their children to quit school so that they can help their parents work or because the family has to migrate to find a job outside the village.

Cyberattacks targeting oil sector

REUTERS/Google/Handout via Reuters

A Google self-driving car is shown in this handout photo released to Reuters March 15, 2015. Google will put 25 prototype self-driving “pod” cars on the roads in and around its Silicon Valley headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Google’s self-driving cars to hit roads, with steering wheels

DETROIT - Google Inc will begin testing self-driving cars of its own design on public roads this summer, but they will have steering wheels and brakes, which is not what the company described a year ago. Engineers will operate 25 prototype vehicles, which use the same software as Google’s self-driving Lexus RX450h sport utility vehicles that have been in operation for several years, the company said on Friday. When the Internet search company announced a year ago that it planned to build a fleet of self-driving cars, project director Chris Urmson said the prototypes “won’t have a steering wheel, accelerator pedal or brake pedal ... because they don’t need them.” It turns out, however, that the prototypes will need those critical control devices after all because California requires that self-driving vehicles have manual controls during testing. Built in Detroit by auto supplier Roush Industries, the prototypes will be equipped with removable steering wheels, brake

pedals and accelerator pedals so test engineers can “take over driving if needed,” Urmson said in a blog post on Friday. Google describes the podlike prototype, which seats two people, as “the world’s first fully self-driving vehicle.” The company also said it would test new passenger and pedestrian protection technologies, including a foam front end and a flexible windshield. It also said the speed of the prototypes will be limited to 25 mph (40 kph) to “decrease the likelihood of severe injury” in a collision. As part of the rollout of the self-driving prototypes, Google said its engineers plan to test for “rare and weird situations” - what self-driving car proponents refer to as “edge cases,” or unusual situations that occur once every 100,000 miles or so.

Such testing, Google said, will “help us validate that our software handles even the rarest variations on common driving scenarios.” On Monday, Google disclosed that its self-driving Lexus vehicles had been involved in 11 accidents on public roads near its Mountain View, California, headquarters. “Not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident,” Urmson said in the blog post. No one was injured in the accidents, he added. The cars had been hit from behind seven times, mainly at traffic lights, with a majority of the accidents being on city streets rather than on freeways. Google said its self-driving cars have been logging about 10,000 miles a week and have accumulated nearly 1 million miles. (rtr)

WASHINGTON - A series of cyberattacks has been targeting the oil and gas sector in what appears to be an effective variant of the so-called Nigerian email scam, security researchers said Monday. The scheme dubbed “Phantom Menace” has victimized a number of oil and gas buyers, getting them to pay for non-existent crude, according to a report by Panda Security. According to Panda, the fraudsters offer a large amount of high-quality Bonny light crude oil from Nigeria, which is sought after due to its low sulfur content, “at a very competitive price.” The criminals are able to provide fake “documentary evidence that the product exists” and subsequently request the buyers make a deposit of

$50,000 to $100,000. “However, once they pay the money they are met with the nasty surprise that there is no oil,” the report said. Panda said it has identified the attackers but is unable to report the matter to authorities because none of the companies affected have come forward. “Panda Security stands ready to identify the individual to authorities, but without any credible reports being volunteered by the alleged victims, the authorities are unable to launch their investigations or make any arrests,” the company said in a statement. It added that it hopes the report “will shed light on the potential damage of the Phantom Menace and encourage companies to take the necessary steps against the perpetrator.” (afp)

SEOUL - Less than a month after LG launched its G4, the flagship handset is getting a pair of new smartphone siblings. The Korean electronics giant on Monday took the wraps off the new G4 Stylus and G4c, handsets that incorporate many of the features of the G4 in larger and smaller packaging, respectively. The G4 Stylus sports a 5.7-inch display, slightly larger than the flagship G4, and as the name suggests, includes a stylus for taking notes or doodling on the screen. The G4c’s display comes in a bit smaller at 5 inches. Both handsets feature either a 13or 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Both also run Google’s Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system on a 1.2GHz quad-core LTE chipset. The Stylus will also be offered in a 3G configuration with a 1.4GHz octa-core chipset. “The G4 Stylus and G4c are perfect examples of what we mean by a premium smartphone experience without a premium price,” Juno Cho, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications, said in a statement. “We are committed to offering consumers in fast-growing markets LG devices that

not only deliver performance, but also look good while doing so.” Launched on April 28, the G4 is the successor to LG’s current flagship phone, the G3, which helped LG score record smartphone sales for last year’s third quarter as well as its highest-ever market share in North America. However, the company faces a greater challenge this year squaring off against Apple’s iPhone 6 lineup and Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S6 phones. The company expects to sell 8 million G4 smartphones this year and 12 million over its life cycle according to Cho, a 20 percent improvement over the G3, which sold roughly 10 million units. But that is still a far cry from the heights reached by Apple, which reported last month that it sold more than 61 million iPhones in the first quarter of the year alone, or Samsung, estimated to have shipped 82 million smartphones in the first quarter. LG’s newest two handsets are expected to launch in markets around the world during the next couple of weeks. The Stylus will be available in metallic silver or floral white, while the G4c will come in metallic gray, ceramic white and shiny gold. (cnet)

Ministry of Tourism targets Malaysia

The Ministry of Tourism is targeting the goal of receiving 2.1 million Malaysian tourists next year, which is almost double last years 1.4 million target. “Malaysia is the leading market for Indonesia’s tourism, and has become the target of our campaigns” said Minister Arief Yahya in Jakarta on Monday (May 18). Yahya welcomed the music concert featuring Rossa as a part of the branding of Wonderful Indonesia to the Malaysian market. “We are applying the tourism marketing strategy known as branding, advertising and selling (BAS). This event is a part of the branding or campaign to build awareness about “Wonderful Indonesia” amongst Malaysians,” said the man from Banyuwangi. Arief Yahya said that the Ministry of Tourism is very serious about improving the number of tourist visits from Malaysia. To that end, various promotional efforts need to be intensified in the near future including the placing of Wonderful Indonesia ads along the road between Kuala Lumpur and the Kuala Lumpr International airport (KLIA). The music concert entitled Malam Keajaiban Cinta featuring Rossa held to celebrate Mother’s Day, is also a reference to the honour and award given to Rossa by the Malysian government in connection with a piece titled “Dato” by the Sultan Pahang. The concert will take place in the Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur and will be attended by Malaysian officals. The music concert titled Malam Keajaiban Cinta with Rossa will be held by Insight of Indonesia in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism at the Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on May 22-23, 2015 as an effective way to promote tourism in Indonesian package with the the branding of Wonderful Indonesia to the Malaysian market.

The Ministry of Tourism is targeting the Malaysian tourists visit to reach 2.1 million, an increase of almost double compared to the target of last year amounting to 1.4 million people.

Rampant violations of coastal border in Lembongan SEMARAPURA - The violation of coastal border in Klungkung mostly happens in Nusa Lembongan. Unlicensed buildings continue to increase on the beach but they are never disciplined. Instead, the protected mangrove forest areas are also targeted by the development. Municipal Police are unable to do much because there has been no a detailed spatial plan (RDTR) of Klungkung remaining in the process. Based on the observation of the member of the Commission I of the Klungkung House, A.A. Sayang Supartha, many unlicensed buildings were built on the edge of the beach. In accordance with the Regional Bylaw No.16/2009 on regional spatial planning (RTRW) of Bali, there may not be any development in the coastal border at 100 meters from the tidal line. At the work meeting held by the Commission I of the Klungkung House, Gung Sayang questioned about the efforts of the executive in taking action against the violations, Monday (May 18). Moreover, the presence of many buildings on the edge of the beach is alleged to have the interest of foreigner behind it. From field observation, it is known that people who build on the seashore claimed

to have been financed by foreigner. Gung Sayang then requested the executive to be more assertive in taking action against a number of buildings that currently do not have permission. Moreover, the development is increasingly rife in the areas of mangrove forest stretching from Jungut Batu village to Lembongan village. “On the beach, the development is made by local people but behind it there is a foreigner,” he said in the meeting led by the Chairman of Commission I of the Klungkung House, I Komang ‘Otal’ Suantara. The Chief of Klungkung Municipal Police, Nyoman Sucitra, admitted to face an obstacle in taking enforcement action against the rampant violation in Nusa Lembongan. According to him, the absence of the Klungkung Detailed Spatial Plan makes the regulation enforcement officials unable to discipline. “So far, there is no rule because it remains in the process of formation. Then, when taking action now we fear if it will be actually incompatible with the detailed spatial plan being formulated,” he explained when met after the work meeting of the Commission I, Monday (May 18). According to him, if the Mu-

nicipal Police are strict by applying the Bali Regional Bylaw No.16/2009 on the regional spatial plan (RTRW), the houses belonging to local people having been built in the past time will be affected when measured along 100 meters from the tidal line. To that end, his party can only wait until the spatial plan of Klungkung is completed and approved.

Related to the control plan, Nyoman Sucitra said that his party cannot do the demolition haphazardly considering the buildings have existed earlier than the making of the rules. “Ideally, after the issuance of the detailed spatial plan we give permission in accordance with the age of the building, maybe 10 years to 15 years. After the license expires, it cannot be extended and

DENPASAR - The existence of Angelina, 8, a child who was reported to be missing on Saturday (May 16) cannot be detected so far. Denpasar Police and East Denpasar Police have disseminated the photo of this elementary school student of the second grade with the hope that her whereabouts can be immediately known. “The victim has been adopted by Margariet Megawai since the age of 3 days. There is an agreement with the victim’s parents. The victim will only be allowed to meet her biological mother from Banyuwangi after she has been 18 years old,” said the Chief of East Denpasar Police, Gede Redastra on Tuesday. On Monday afternoon, police chief along with his personnel conducted crime scene investigation and deployed a dog squad from mobile brigade. “It is difficult to trace, perhaps it happens as it has taken place for a long time,” he said. From the examination of witnesses, added Redastra, before missing the victim was told by her foster mother to feed chicken. According to police chief, Margariet raised broilers. After that, Margariet came into the room to rest. Suddenly her servant, Agus, borrowed a pencil to Margariet. “The victim was told to take a pencil in the room by her mother.

After the victim handed the pencil to Agus, the victim’s mother did not have time to see the adopted daughter,” he said. On Saturday afternoon, Margariet called the victim to take a bath. But there was no answer. Surely she was panic. The search was done around the house, including in the henhouse but the daughter was not found. “Characteristics of the victim are that she is wearing a long negligee in light blue with line motif, long hair of waistlength and ponytail, and she is thin,” he said. The Chief of Denpasar Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Nengah Sadiarta, appealed to the public who happen to see or know the victim’s whereabouts to immediately report to nearest police station. “People can also inform my mobile number at 0813 4018 6841 or Chief of East Denpasar Police at 0821 4446 6667, First Unit Chief at 0812 365 3888, and the East Denpasar Police Criminal Investigation Unit at 0812 398 4678,” he said. Previously, the Chief of East Denpasar Police received the report on the missing girl named Angelina, 8, on Saturday (May 16). Angelina is known to be missing while playing in front of her house on Jalan Sedap Malam, Denpasar. (kmb36)

Unknown to Adolf Hitler’s regime, Richard Sorge accurately forewarned his Soviet paymasters that the Nazis were preparing to tear up a non-aggression pact and march into western Russia. Under his cover as a journalist and press attache to the German embassy, Sorge ran a spy ring in pre-war Tokyo, reporting to Moscow what both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were planning. Historians say the 1938 letter from Joachim von Ribbentrop, marking Sorge’s 43rd birthday and praising his “outstanding contribution” to the embassy in Tokyo, underlines how trusted he was by the Germans -- and therefore how valuable he was to the Soviets. “The letter comes from pre-World War II time. It is interesting in that it allows you to surmise” the Nazis’ trust in Sorge, said Yoshio Okudaira, who works at antique book dealer Tamura Shoten in Tokyo’s Jimbocho district. The letter came with a signed photograph of Ribbentrop, who was Hitler’s foreign minister from 1938 until 1945. Although Sorge was a German national and a Nazi party member, he spent part of his childhood in the Soviet Union and was a committed communist who later began spying for Moscow. In 1933, at the Soviets’ behest, he moved to Japan as a correspondent for the Frankfurter Zeitung. Known for his womanising and heavy drinking, Sorge was also a keen political

observer whose insights brought him respect, and ultimately, high-level access inside the German embassy. He became a personal aide to German ambassador Eugen Ott, a position that gave him an excellent vantage point on Nazi policymaking, and made him privy to vital information about the German war machine. It was there that he learned of Hitler’s intention to unilaterally revoke the nonaggression pact with Moscow and invade the Soviet Union from the west. While the Soviets did not fully believe this intelligence at the time, they did act when Sorge told them he had learned Japan did not intend to invade Russia from the east, preferring to concentrate on winning territory in resource-rich Southeast Asia. This vital information allowed Soviet supremo Joseph Stalin to reposition vast military resources from the far east to the west, helping to turn back the advancing German army in late 1941. Okudaira said this snapshot of history came as part of a bundle of Nazi-related documents brought in by a customer who was disposing of a dead relative’s collection. “I thought, ‘Here is interesting stuff,’” Okudaira told AFP, adding that the customer did not know the nature of the letter. Okudaira said the letter and photograph would be auctioned off, although he cautioned that they were written by Ribbentrop’s secretary, making them relatively ordinary administrative documents.

Singapore nets biggest ivory seizure in decade

SINGAPORE - Singapore authorities seized the biggest illegal shipment of ivory and other exotic animal parts in more than a decade Tuesday, with the haul from Kenya worth an estimated Sg$8 million ($6 million). The animal parts were discovered stashed among bags of tea leaves in two 20-foot containers while transiting through the city-state to Vietnam, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) and Singapore Customs said in a joint statement. Authorities uncovered 1,783 pieces of raw ivory tusk hidden among the bags, the statement said. Four pieces of rhino horn and 22 teeth believed to be from African big cats -cheetahs and leopards -- were also found in the containers, it said. The haul weighed 3.7 tonnes and is the largest seizure of illegal ivory in Singa-

pore since 2002 when six tonnes of ivory were intercepted, the statement said. The shipping of ivory has been banned since 1989 under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) -- to which Singapore, a major hub for seaborne trade, is a signatory. In April last year, local authorities intercepted a shipment of illegal ivory worth Sg$2.0 million, labelled as coffee berries, transiting from Africa, according to the statement. A similar cargo, also from Africa, worth Sg$2.5 million was uncovered in January 2013. Ivory ornaments are coveted in Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand and China despite fears that the trade is pushing wild elephants to extinction. Rhino horn is prized for its supposed medicinal properties. (afp)

Civilians flee their hometown of Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s Anbar province, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, Monday, May 18, 2015. Islamic State militants searched door-to-door for policemen and pro-government fighters and threw bodies in the Euphrates River in a bloody purge Monday.

Iraq forces eye swift Ramadi fightback before IS digs in

BAGHDAD - Iraq’s army and allied paramilitary forces massed around Ramadi on Tuesday, looking for swift action to recapture the city from the Islamic State group before it builds up defences. With his security strategy in tatters and his authority facing its biggest challenge since he took office eight months ago, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi was looking for quick redemption. But the jihadists, whose capture of Ramadi on Sunday showed they may have been written off too soon, tried to keep up the momentum by attacking government and allied forces east of the city. Abadi has “ordered the setting up of new defence lines in Ramadi, to reorganise and deploy the fighting troops”, his office said late Monday after he held talks with Iran’s visiting defence minister. Reeling from the worst setback since IS grabbed swathes of territory in June last year, Abadi called in the Shiite-dominated Popular Mobilisation units (Hashed al-Shaabi). He and Washington had hoped to rely on regular forces and locally recruited Sunni tribal fighters newly incorporated into the Hashed al-Shaabi. Such a solution was seen as more palatable to the population of Anbar, a predominantly Sunni province, and a way for Washington to keep Iranian-backed militias at bay. The Shiite paramilitary groups had been eager to join the Ramadi battle for some time and argued that Abadi’s reluctance led to the provincial capital’s fall. Following a belated green light, they

started sending convoys of fighters to Anbar, where anti-IS forces are massing, mostly east and west of Ramadi. “The US government and Iraqi government seem to be on the same sheet of music that Ramadi has to be counterattacked before IS consolidates,” Michael Knights of the Washington Institute said. US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday he was “absolutely confident” that the situation could be reversed within days. Anbar police chief Kadhim al-Fahdawi said a large number of well-prepared troops were positioned in Husaybah, about seven kilometres (less than five miles) east of Ramadi. “This area will be the starting point for the operations to liberate the cities of Anbar,” he said on Tuesday. But much planning remains to be done before Iraqi forces attempt to move back into Ramadi, a large town on the Euphrates about 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of Baghdad. “The military operation to liberate Ramadi and Anbar will not start until all the requirements are met,” Fahdawi said. After holding on for a year and a half during which the jihadists never managed to take full control of the city, Iraqi security forces pulled out of their last bases on Sunday. The retreat was chaotic, with groups of fighters left stranded in parts of the city. At least 28 of them were rescued in a dramatic helicopter exfiltration, footage of which has been aired on state TV, but many were killed and more are still missing. (afp)

The stop in Brazil will be his first on a four-nation South American tour that includes Chile, Peru and Colombia. It comes as the continent feels the pinch of lessening Chinese demand for its commodities. “We’re moving into a different era, because China’s economy is transforming to being consumer based and it’s slowing down, so commodity prices are going down,” said Kevin Gallagher, professor of international relations at Boston University with expertise in China’s ties to Latin America. “Chinese trade and investment was Latin America’s best friend for a decade, and now everybody is in a panic.” China remains the top trading partner for Latin America and the Caribbean, with $112 billion of the region’s exports heading to China in 2013, according to Gallagher. Li’s trip is expected to herald big investments in infrastructure projects, though analysts caution such announcements don’t always result in action. Still, the timing for any influx of Chinese cash could not be better for Brazilians, whose economy is expected to shrink by at least 1 percent this year. Additionally, a sweeping kickback scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras has implicated Brazil’s biggest construction and engineering firms, freezing them out of credit markets and severely AP Photo/Ng Han Guan, File hamstringing their ability to complete existing infrastructure works In this March 15, 2015, file photlo, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang waves as he arrives for a press or start new ones that Brazil desper- conference at the end of the National People’s Congress in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People.

likely many years away from being completed, if ever. Plans for the railway, along with construction that’s already begun on a China-backed waterway canal cutting across Nicaragua, are part of China’s push to ease the delivery of the continent’s commodities to its market. In total, Li and Rousseff are expected to announce when they meet Tuesday some 30 projects worth over $50 billion, according to Brazilian officials. Brazil normally prefers to fund its big projects itself, said Renato Baumann, an expert in international affairs at the Brazilian government’s Institute for Applied Economic Research. “However, the state these days is out of breath. It’s fiscally imbalanced with a savings deficit in the government accounts,” he said. “The state isn’t able to make many important investments,” making China’s money all the more vital. Among the other nations Li will visit, Gallagher said the stop in Colombia was “new and significant.” It’s only been recently that Colombia has been exporting big amounts of coal to China, and the Chinese are looking to invest in hydroelectric projects and the Colombian oil sector, “so of all the counties Li will visit, it’s going to be the most interesting to watch,” he added. In Peru, where China has its longest-standing ties in Latin America, officials are expected to sign agreements on infrastructure, technology, communication and aerospace. In Chile, the first country in the region that signed a free-trade agreement with China, the two sides will address double-taxation issues, attempt to further streamline their bilateral trade and sign finance and technology deals.

Another weak US indicator further dampened expectations the Federal Reserve will raise US interest rates soon, with analysts now tipping the final quarter of the year for an increase. Tokyo climbed 0.68 percent, or

136.11 points, to close at 20,026.38 and Seoul rose 0.34 percent, or 7.13 points, to end at 2,120.85. Hong Kong added 0.30 percent in afternoon trading, and Shanghai had surged 3.00 percent. But Sydney finished 0.77 percent

Believe it or not, when a large earthquake shook Bali in 1970s, this village that borders the county of Karangasem, was the only village that was not affected by the tremors, despite the surrounding areas being damaged by the high magnitude earthquake. According to Secretary of Trunyan village, Ketut Jaksa, when the the severe earthquake occurred around 1976, almost all regions of Bali were affected. The regin of Seringti Singaraja was fully devasted by the quake. “Here (at Trunyan) not even a quiver from the quake was felt,” said Jaksa.

of the fragrant scent was apparently emerging from the body of a goddess, a very beautiful goddess. Her beauty captivated the nomad and he wanted to marry her. The goddess agreed provided that the nomad was willing to become a king at Trunyan. The wanderer agreed to her condition. The king ruled the region wisely. His journey did not leave any traces and he is believed to have attained moksha or reunion with the Creator. Afterwards, he became a stone that eventually emerged from the ground, while the Goddess is currently venerated as Ratu Ayu Pingit Dalem Dasar. She resides in the sapta petala shrine bearing the task of preserving the

existence of Lake Batur. If an earthquake occurs in Bali, local Trunyan residents ordinarily bring a pestle made from the erythrina tree to Pancering Jagat Temple. The pestle will be pounded into the ground around the home of the Datonta statue to tamp the soil around his feet. “The pestle remains at the location until now. We found it in 2007 then we did a cleanup around the shrine of the Datonta statue,” he explained. Miraculously, when a banyan tree fell down, near the temple the Datonta statue stood firmly in place while a number of other shrines in the vicinity were badly damaged by the toppling tree. (ina)

The earthquake-proof village

Trunyan villagers believe that Ida Ratu Sakti Pancering Jagat spared the village from the quake. Ida Ratu Sakti abides at the Ratu Sakti Pancering Jagat Temple in Trunyan. The temple is believed to be the center of Bali. The temple is also called the Kancing Gumi. This thousands of years old temple, has a number of shrines. One of them is the seven-tiered meru shrine, which stores the sacred Datonta statue. This statue has some unique properties. This ancient stone statue is believed by local people to naturally grow larger each year, and it has now reached the height of about four meters. Not everyone can look directly at the statue. “The aura exuded is very

much perceived by society. No one dares to look directly at the statue,” said Jaksa. It is said that the statue was originally a small stone emerging from the ground. The stone seemed strange because it could grow like a living creature. Day by day the stone became larger and transformed into a statue, the statue of a standing man. Jaksa said that there is a distinctive story behind the Datonta statue. Jaksa explained that the Datonta or Ida Ratu Sakti Pancering Jagat was originally a wanderer from Dalem Solo. He came to Trunyan to find the source of the fragrant scent that he smelt from Solo. On his arrival at Trunyan, he found that the source

A Balinese green and luscious cake

Jaja gadang tain temuati is one of the traditional cakes of community in Bali. It is called jaja gadang tain temuati because it is green (gadang) and has the shape of small round worm excrement (tain temuati). This very tender and sweet cake exudes a very typical flavor. Moreover, it is very safe to consume because the ingredients and coloring agent are made of organic substance. The main ingredient is rice flour mixed with green leaf extract

produced by daun suji or dracaena leaf. It is used to make the cake look greenish as well as engender a delicious flavor, and fragrance. To serve the cake, it is put onto a small dish and then sprinkled with grated coconut and brown sugar sauce. On days of yore, the cake was presented with a tekor (dish-shaped banana leaf). This cake is usually served when people held grandiose religious ceremonies (engaging villagers). But now, the traditional cake is very rare. Aside from being

difficult and complicated preparation, the ingredient in use is also of selected rice processed manually. Preparations: first of all, the selected rice is soaked with clean water for about 6 hours. After that, the rice is made into flour by means of crushing. The flour is then clenched into the shape of balls. Then, steam all the batters until cooked or for 15 minutes. Take out the cooked flour and then mixed with the extract of dracaena leaf and give a small amount of starch to make it sticky.

Unlike in the past, to make the batter sticky people usually used cassava. Later on, the flour batter is crushed and kneaded until refined. Subsequently, the batter is formed by using coconut shell mold having many small holes. This mold is put on the flour and then driven while rolling it. From the holes of coconut shell mold will come out a cake resembling the earth worm excrement. Afterward, the cake is placed on a banana leaf

and then steamed again for about 15 minutes. When having cooked, the cake is taken out and cooled. For the presentation, the cake should be removed from the banana leaves one by one. Then, put them on the plate and sprinkle with grated coconut and brown sugar sauce. To sprinkle the sugar, use banana leaf whose end has been torn up resembling a brush. Having sprinkled it evenly, the cake is ready to serve.

Ousted Thai PM proclaims innocence as criminal trial starts BANGKOK - Thailand’s ousted prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra insisted on her innocence Tuesday at the start of a trial that could see her jailed for a decade, part of what observers say is a vendetta against her family. It is the latest legal move against Yingluck -- sister of fugitive billionaire ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra -- whose administration was toppled in a military coup nearly a year ago. A guilty conviction could deliver a hammer blow to the political dominance of her family, but it also risks stirring up their grassroots “Red Shirt” supporters who have remained largely inactive since the military took over. Around 50 supporters gathered outside Thailand’s Supreme Court on the northern outskirts of Bangkok including more than a dozen members of Yingluck’s Pheu Thai Party, a highly unusual sight in a country where political gatherings of more than five people remain banned by the junta. Many burst into applause and shouts of “Yingluck, fight, fight!” when her convoy pulled up outside the courthouse for the trial, which is expected to last months. “I am confident that I am innocent and I hope the court will give me justice and allow everything to proceed in accordance with the law,” Yingluck told reporters. The ousted premier is accused of criminal negligence over a populist rice subsidy scheme, which paid farmers in the rural Shinawatra heartland twice the market rate for their crop. She is not accused of personal corruption but of failing to prevent alleged graft within the programme,

which cost Thailand billions of dollars and galvanised protests against her elected government prior to last May’s coup. The charge carries up to 10 years in jail. During the brief hearing, Yingluck spoke only to plead not guilty. The court granted 30 million baht ($900,000) bail on condition that she will not leave Thailand without written permission, and the next hearing was scheduled for July 21. As Yingluck went into court, Thaksin made rare public comments at a conference in South Korea calling on Asian nations to embrace the “rule of law”. “The key to good governance and democracy is you have to strike a balance” between the judicial, legislative and executive branches, he said at the Asian Leadership Conference. “And also you have to observe the rule of law, which is a very important asset for each country to be credible,” he added. His comments did not specifically refer to Thailand but are nonetheless likely to chime with his so-called “Red Shirt” supporters who have long accused Thailand’s judiciary of unfairly targeting their movement. The Shinawatras, or parties allied to them, have won every Thai election since 2001. But their opponents accuse them of cronyism, corruption and financially ruinous populist policies. As a result, the Shinawatra family have faced two coups and the removal of three of their premiers by the Thai courts, while several deadly rounds of protest have rocked Bangkok and weighed on the Thai economy.

INDONESIA Indonesian ambassador dies after Pakistan helicopter crash

JAKARTA - An Indonesian ambassador who was on a Pakistani military helicopter that crashed this month killing two other foreign envoys died Tuesday after battling severe burn injuries, Indonesia’s foreign minister said. Ambassador Burhan Muhammad, 58, was aboard the military helicopter, along with his wife and a delegation of ambassadors when it crashed on May 8 and set a school building ablaze in the Gilgit area of northern Pakistan. His wife, the Norwegian and Filipino ambassadors, and the wife of the Malaysian envoy were killed immediately. Muhammad had severe injuries and had to be evacuated to a Singapore hospital last week.

“Indonesia’s foreign ministry has just lost one of its best diplomats, Ambassador Burhan Muhammad, who passed away at 00:50 on May 19 local time in Singapore,” foreign minister Retno Marsudi said. Muhammad and his wife are survived by their two sons. The Pakistani Taliban claimed to have struck the aircraft with a ground-to-air missile hoping to assassinate Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who was flying to the region

at the same time -- but the claim was rebutted by officials and multiple eye-witnesses, including foreign secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry. The military and Pakistan’s foreign office said the crash was due to a technical fault while landing. Officials added the school was shut at the time. It was Pakistan’s worst air crash since 2012, when a Boeing 737 passenger plane went down in Islamabad, killing 130 people. (afp)

Indonesia: We’ve already given too much to help boat people

SEOUL - Workers at a North Korean terrapin farm probably wished they could withdraw into their protective shells Tuesday, after a visit from leader Kim Jong-Un who lambasted operations at the facility. A large photo on the front page of the ruling party’s official newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, showed a clearly irate Kim wagging an admonishing finger at a group of officials in a building housing terrapin breeding tanks. During his inspection of the farm, Kim “strongly criticised the shortcoming of its officials as a manifestation of incompetence, outmoded way of thinking and irresponsible work style,” the North’s official KCNA news agency said in a report on the visit. Kim appeared to take particular umbrage at the fact that the failings he uncovered were in a farm set up at the personal initiative of his father, Kim Jong-Il, who he succeeded as leader following his death in December 2011. “The employees who failed

to bear deep in their minds (Kim Jong-Il’s) leadership exploits could hardly perform their role as masters in production,” KCNA quoted Kim as saying. If all officials worked like those on the farm, North Korea would never achieve the visionary goals of his father, Kim said, adding that their mismanagement would also damage the prestige of the ruling Workers’ Party. Terrapin has long been a popular, if pricey, feature of Korean cuisine and is usually served in a soup that is valued for its nutritional qualities as much as its taste. Kim Jong-Un, like his father and grandfather before him, conducts scores of “field guidance” inspections every year at civilian and military units across the country. Each one is covered by the state

media, and the reports and pictures nearly always project the image of a smiling or intrigued Kim, questioning and encouraging people as he doles out “expert” advice on their work. Reports of a stern, public dressing-down like the one given to the officials at the Taedonggang Terrapin Farm are unusual, and undoubtedly deeply worrying for those on the receiving end. According to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS), Kim has ordered the execution of more than a dozen officials so far this year, apparently for questioning his authority. The NIS reported last week that the North’s defence minister, Hyon Yong-Chol, had been purged and most likely executed for insubordination and dozing off during a formal military rally. (afp)

JAKARTA — Indonesia has “given more than it should” to help hundreds of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants stranded on boats by human traffickers, its foreign minister said Tuesday, a day before she was to meet with her counterparts from the other countries feeling the brunt of the humanitarian crisis. Foreign minister Retno Marsudi said that at Wednesday’s meeting with Malaysian and Thai officials, she will discuss how to solve the migrant problem with help from their countries of origin, the U.N. refugee agency and the International Office for Migration. “This irregular migration is not the problem of one or two nations. This is a regional problem which also happens in other places. This is also a global problem,” Marsudi told reporters after a Cabinet meeting at the presidential palace. Marsudi said Indonesia has sheltered 1,346 Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants who washed onto Aceh and North Sumatra provinces last week. The first batch came on May 10 with 558 people on a boat,

and the second with 807 on three boats landed on Friday. Even before the crisis, nearly 12,000 migrants were being sheltered in Indonesia awaiting resettlement, she said, with most of those Rohingya Muslims who have fled persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar. No more than 500 of those migrants are resettled in third countries each year, she said. “Indonesia has given more than it should do as a non-member-state of the Refugee Convention of 1951,” she said. The crisis emerged this month as governments in the region began cracking down on human trafficking. Some captains of trafficking boats abandoned their vessels — and hundreds of migrants — at sea. About 3,000 of the migrants have reached land in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, but all three countries have pushed some ships away. Aid groups estimate that thousands more migrants — who fled persecution in Myanmar and poverty in Bangladesh — are stranded in the Andaman Sea. (ap)

Fight of century becomes fight in court as fans sue Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS — Boxing fans across the country and their lawyers are calling the hyped-up fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. a fraud and want their money back, and then some. At least 32 class action lawsuits allege Pacquiao should have disclosed a shoulder injury to boxing fans before the fight, which Mayweather won in a unanimous decision after 12 lackluster rounds that most fans thought didn’t live up to the hype. Fight of the century? More like fraud of the century, the lawsuits contend. “The fight was not great, not entertaining, not electrifying. It was boring, slow and lackluster,” according to a lawsuit filed in Texas alleging racketeering, a claim usually reserved for organized crime. A lawsuit filed on behalf of Flights Beer Bar near Los Angeles International Airport in California said Pacquiao and his promoter’s actions were, “nothing but a cashgrab.” The bar paid $2,600 to broadcast the fight. As for that grabbed cash, the fighters are each expected to earn more than $100 million, Mayweather more than Pacquiao, and HBO and Showtime broke records raking in more than $400 million from 4.4 million paying to watch the pay-per-view broadcast. Those 4.4 million paid up to $100 each to watch the fight, and the lawsuits are seeking their money back. It isn’t as easy as showing a receipt and demanding a refund, though. A federal panel of judges will likely first need to decide if the cases from multiple states and Puerto Rico should be consolidated into one case. From there, a judge would have to decide whether to certify them as class actions or not. What’s sought in each is the same: a jury trial and at least $5 million in damages, the threshold

for federal class actions. But the defendants differ. All include Pacquiao and his promotions team but some add Mayweather and his representatives along with HBO, Showtime and cable companies. Representatives for Pacquiao and Top Rank Promotions, HBO and Showtime had no comment to offer on the lawsuits and Mayweather Promotions did not return multiple phone messages. Exhibit A for most of the lawsuits is a Nevada Athletic Commission medical questionnaire that Pacquiao signed days before the fight. When asked if he had any injuries including to his shoulder he replied “no.” In fact, his shoulder was injured enough to warrant surgery shortly after the fight. In a twist reserved for whodone-its, Pacquiao revealed for the first time in a post-fight press conference that he had torn his rotator cuff weeks before. The Nevada Athletic Commission denied him a pain reliever mere hours before the fight when regulators first learned of the injury. Conspiracy theories abound as to how many people knew about the injury and when, including claims in a few of the lawsuits that Mayweather had a spy in Pacquiao’s camp and the boxer targeted Pacquiao’s right shoulder during the fight.

Mixed martial arts goes mainstream in Asia

SINGAPORE - The explosive growth of mixed martial arts (MMA) in Asia is putting the squeeze on boxing as it attracts millions of young fans and sells out venues across the region. Just a few years ago, cage fighting was seen as a niche and grisly pursuit but it is moving into the mainstream with major TV and sponsorship deals and a planned $1 billion IPO for Asia’s main player. Gyms are mushrooming across Asia and fights have been held in dozens of major cities across a region which groups about 4.4 billion people, two-thirds of the world’s

population. MMA has also taken hold in the Americas and Europe but it has a particular appeal in Asia, which is the birthplace of the martial arts but lacks homegrown sports heroes. Its success is cutting into the fanbase of other combat sports, notably boxing, which is making a belated push for the Asian market with several big fights in Macau. Even Manny Pacquiao, Asia’s best known boxer who lost this month’s “Fight of the Century” to Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, is a fan and investor in One Championship.

The growth of the Singaporebased company, the most prominent of several Asian MMA organisations, is testament to the sport’s rapid expansion in the region. In just three-and-a-half years, One Championship -- renamed from One Fighting Championship -- has grown to 24 events this year, including 10 in China. Sponsors include L’Oreal and Sony, and a tie-up with Disney means One Championship promotes films such as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and the forthcoming Star Wars. CEO Victor Cui said by the end of 2017 the company aimed to

hold one event a week, and that it planned a billion-dollar share listing in three years’ time. “Compared to MMA, boxing attracts only the boxing fans whereas MMA is across all the martial arts,” he told AFP at a large MMA gym in downtown Singapore. “The appeal base across Asia is quite different, because every Asian country has some form of martial art that they already do... whereas boxing is not as heavily rooted in every country.” In MMA fights, competitors can use a variety of martial arts to knock out their opponent or force

a submission or stoppage, as well as accumulating points on the three judges’ scorecards, making the action varied and sometimes vicious. While opinions vary about the sport’s merits, it is attracting a large and young Asian fanbase, often male, fuelled by its prevalence on TV and social media. “There’s a misconception that it’s bloody, that it’s brutal, but there’s a lot of respect that goes on out of the cage,” said Matt Eaton, editor and publisher of the Hong Kong-based Rough magazine and website.

Treble-hunting Juventus heads into Cup final against Lazio MILAN — When Massimiliano Allegri was sacked by AC Milan in January 2014, few could have predicted that a year later he would be on the brink of steering Juventus to treble success. up his second trophy against Lazio on Wednesday in the cup, before targeting the final piece of the puzzle against Barcelona in Berlin on June 6. Allegri had the luxury of resting many of his star players at Inter Milan on Saturday and the second-string Juventus side still won 2-1 against the only Italian team to have won the treble —

under Jose Mourinho in 2010. “The match proved that Juve’s great season, on all three fronts, is down to the entire squad,” goalscorer Claudio Marchisio said. “We have to remain focused, even though we have already reached our aim in the league. We have to try to keep up the tempo with a view to the two finals.” (ap)

Berlusconi signals the end for Milan coach Inzaghi

ROME - Silvio Berlusconi has effectively confirmed that AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi will be sacked at the end of what has been a bitterly disappointing season, Italian media reported on Tuesday. “Inzaghi has a good relationship with the squad but on many occasions we have had different visions (of what to do),” the club’s billionaire owner was quoted as saying during a visit to a supporters group on Monday evening. “That is something we will express (to Inzaghi) at an appropriate time. We are deciding what to do.”

The media tycoon went on to indicate he was already considering possible replacements but appeared to play down the possibility of a return for former boss Carlo Ancelotti by saying: “We need to talk about concrete names”. Ancelotti, who guided Milan to 2003 and 2007 Champions League triumphs, is expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season with the Spanish giants set to end the campaign without a major trophy. But his past record means he is likely to have more attractive options than a return to cash-strapped Milan.

But, having wrapped up the Serie A title with four matches remaining, Allegri could pick

Italy and former Juventus boss Antonio Conte may be a more realistic target for Milan. “Let’s see, this is not the place to talk about that,” Berlusconi said when asked about that option. Berlusconi, who is seeking outside investors to help him revive the club’s fortunes, said Inzaghi had ignored his request for players emerging from the club’s academy to be given a chance. “There are some interesting youngsters at the club and I expressed the desire to see some of them given a chance in the first team but the request was not acted upon,” Berlusconi said.

Some Thing’s to Know - Juve Hoodoo

Juventus may be aiming to win a record 10th Italian Cup but it has a weak record of late in the competition and will be looking to end a 20year drought. The Bianconeri last lifted the cup in 1995, beating Parma to clinch the double. It missed out on a treble after losing the UEFA Cup final — to Parma. Since then it has lost in the final three times. In the intervening years Lazio has won five times, including a victory over Juventus in 2004. Indeed Lazio has proved almost unbeatable in the showpiece event, winning on six of the seven occasions it has reached the final. The only final Lazio lost was in 1961.

This could be the week that leaves Lazio celebrating all summer — or it could leave the fans dreaming of what might have been. Days after the Italian Cup

final, Lazio faces fierce rival Roma in an eagerly anticipated derby match which is a direct fight for second place in Serie A. Lazio is a point behind Roma, with two rounds remaining.

BERLIN - Schalke 04’s Marco Hoeger can return to training and will be available for their Bundesliga finale on Saturday against relegation-threatened Hamburg SV after club bosses lifted a suspension on the midfielder. Hoeger was excluded from the squad over loyalty concerns last week after Schalke also released Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sidney

Sam following a poor run of form after the winter break that had put their European hopes in jeopardy. “Marco Hoeger can be part of the Royal Blues’ squad for the last match day on Saturday,” the club said in a statement on Tuesday. “Following discussions between the midfielder and the sporting director on Monday, he can now return to training and matches.”

Last week’s 1-0 victory over Paderborn ensured fifth-placed Schalke’s qualification for next season’s Europa League. The narrow win secured a topsix finish while Hamburg face the prospect of a first-ever relegation even if they beat the Ruhr valley club, as they need results involving teams around them to go their way.

BIRMINGHAM, England — Saido Berahino scored twice as West Bromwich Albion beat Premier League champion Chelsea 3-0 Monday in an ill-tempered game that saw Cesc Fabregas sent off for kicking the ball at an opponent’s head. The largely meaningless game started with a warm embrace between managers Tony Pulis and Jose Mourinho but spilled over into several heated scuffles on the pitch after Berahino had put the host ahead with a great strike in the ninth minute. Diego Costa became entangled with Gareth McAuley in the area, sparking a scuffle that ended with

the Spain striker being booked. As West Brom players encircled referee Mike Jones, Fabregas inexplicably kicked the ball some 20 yards straight at them, hitting Chris Brunt in the back of the head. Jones showed him a straight red card, with West Brom’s Darren Fletcher also getting booked for angrily shoving Fabregas. Chelsea’s night only got worse as Berahino was then brought down by John Terry in the area early in the second half, took the penalty himself to double the lead. Brunt then added the third in the 60th, equaling Chelsea’s worst ever Premier League loss under

Mourinho. It was only Chelsea’s third loss in the league this season and ended a 16-game unbeaten run, but it had no effect on the standings for either team. Chelsea wrapped up the title two weeks ago, while West Brom is safe in 13th place. Mourinho said it was hard for his team to play its best with the title already in hand. “When you are not ready to compete, you lose qualities, individually and collectively,” he said. “If we have to blame somebody, we have to blame Man City, Man United, Arsenal and Liverpool, because they let us win the title so early.” (ap)

Alvaro Morata is very much Juve’s man of the moment, but will be missing from the cup final. The Spaniard scored in both legs against Real Madrid to send Juventus through to the Champions League final — at the expense of his former club — and netted a late winner in Saturday’s 2-1 victory at Inter Milan. Morata futher endeared himself to fans with an unusual celebration — putting on a pair of sunglasses and striking a ‘deal with it’ pose. However, Juve will have to do without him at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday, as Morata is suspended after being sent off against Fiorentina in the semifinal.

Fiorentina calms tensions with 3-0 win over Parma ROME — Fiorentina beat already relegated Parma 3-0 in Serie A on Monday to calm tensions with its fans after an ugly exit from the Europa League. Gonzalo Rodriguez headed in a rebound 13 minutes in at Fiorentina’s Franchi stadium and Alberto Gilardino doubled the lead in the 30th with a header from a corner. Mohamed Salah sealed it in the 56th. After receiving the ball at the edge of the area, the striker on loan from Chelsea used one touch to evade a defender then shot into the far corner. Also, Fiorentina forward Alessandro Diamanti hit the crossbar in the 88th. Sevilla completed a 5-0 aggregate victory over Fiorentina in the Europa League semifinals last week, prompting fierce criticism of the Viola. However, the win over Parma — Fiorentina’s third straight in the league — moved the Viola back into fifth place and a likely spot in next

season’s Europa League. Two rounds remain. Also, Dries Mertens scored twice as Napoli tightened its hold on fourth with a 3-2 win at home over Cesena, which has also been mathematically relegated. Napoli, which was also eliminated in the Europa League semifinals, moved within three points of third-place Lazio, and four behind second-place Roma. Gregoire Defrel put Cesena ahead 15 minutes in at the San Paolo stadium, Mertens equalized four minutes later and Manolo Gabbiadini gave Napoli the lead in the 21st in a frenetic six-minute stretch. Defrel equalized in first-half added time, left alone to redirect a cross from the center of the area. Mertens scored the winner in the 57th after exchanging passes with Napoli captain Marek Hamsik inside the area. It was the sixth goal this season for the Belgium international. (ap)
