‘Jurassic’ holds box office, but ‘Inside Out’ shows bite

records, too. “Inside Out” was the first Pixar release not to open in first place, following an unparalleled two-decade streak of 14 straight no. 1s. But it’s the largest opening for a wholly original movie (one not based on source material or a sequel), unseating “Avatar” in that distinction. Directed by Pete Docter (“Up”) and co-directed by Ronaldo del Carmen, “Inside Out” had been expected to open in the range of previous Pixar non-sequels like “Wall-E” ($63.8 million opening) and “Brave” ($66.3 million). But “Inside Out” was propelled by gushing reviews from critics, a flashy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and an appetite for a movie from Pixar. The animation studio hadn’t had a release in two years after delaying “The Good Dinosaur” last year.

lease, we hit a critical mass of really unbelievable critical response. In this day and age where technology allows people to see a Rotten Tomatoes score or read something and pass it along to their friends, all of a sudden, there was quite a stir about this as a thing to see.” The twin hits of “Inside Out” and “Jurassic World” are giving Hollywood’s summer a major boost. The weekend was up a staggering 64.6 percent over the same weekend last year, according to box-office data firm Rentrak. In 10 days, “Jurassic World” has already made $981.3 million and appears poised to be among the highest-grossing releases of all time. “Part of the success of ‘Inside Out’ is owed to this massive infusion of moviegoers into the marketplace,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “If you look at last weekend, around the world, how many people were in theaters when ‘Jurassic World’ made its debut?” He added, though, that “Inside Out” was also driven by Pixar’s unique storytelling knack: “They can take almost any subject and turn it into something insightful, poignant and moving.” “Inside Out” and “Jurassic World” had the multiplexes largely to themselves over the weekend. The other wide release to open was “Dope,” a low-budget teen comedy set in Los Angeles’ Inglewood neighborhood. Written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, starring newcomer Shameik Moore and boasting some high-profile producers (Forest Whitaker, Pharrell Williams), “Dope” was acquired by Open Road after a buzzy premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. Though Open Road gave “Dope” an optimistic wide release of 2,002 theaters, it took in only $6 million. (ap)

Apple bows to Taylor Swift on streaming payments NEW YORK - Tech giant Apple late Sunday bowed to pressure from pop superstar Taylor Swift and raised payments to artists for its forthcoming music streaming service. The about-face by one of the world’s most powerful companies showed the extraordinary influence of the 25-year-old Swift, who had vowed a partial boycott of the new Apple Music service. Swift, saying that she was speaking up for artists afraid of upsetting Apple, had called the company’s behavior “shocking” over its earlier plan not to pay for streams during customers’ initial three-month free trial. Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services, said late Sunday that the company had shifted course and would compensate for streams in all stages. Apple music “will pay artist(s) for streaming, even during (customers’) free trial period,” he wrote on Twitter. Mimicking Swift’s earlier protest, Cue wrote, “We love you (Taylor) and indie artists. Love, Apple.” Cue separately told industry journal Billboard that he telephoned Swift, who is in Amsterdam on her tour, after receiving approval from Apple CEO Tim Cook. He insisted that Apple never intended to avoid compensation and had heard plenty of concern from others besides Swift, although he was moved to action after she went public. Apple, which revolution-

ized the music industry through digital downloads with iTunes, on June 30 launches its new streaming platform as customers quickly shift to such on-demand, unlimited Internet catalogs. Swift has been an outspoken critic of streaming leader Spotify, last year pulling her entire catalog as she charged that the Swedish company compensates artists too little. Swift early Sunday said that she would refuse to allow her latest album “1989” -- by far the best-selling US album in the past year -- to stream on Apple Music due to the lack of payment during the trial. “I find it to be shocking, disappointing and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company,” Swift wrote in a posting on Tumblr. “These are not the complaints of a spoiled, petulant child. These are the echoed sentiments of every artist, writer and producer in my social circles who are afraid to speak up publicly because we admire and respect Apple so much,” Swift wrote. Swift said that her move was in part “about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt.” After Apple’s reversal, Swift wrote on Twitter: “I am elated and relieved. Thank you for your words of support today. They listened to us.” (afp)

“We came into the weekend thinkNEW YORK — In a box-office bout of Tyrannosaurus-sized proportions, “Jurassic World” kept the No. 1 spot with one of the big- ing we’d do something in the 60s,” gest second weeks ever, while Pixar’s “Inside Out” nearly matched said Dave Hollis, distribution head for Disney. “As we got closer to reit with a $91.1 million debut well above expectations. Universal’s “Jurassic World” took in $102 million in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday, making it only the second release to break $100 million in its second week. The enormous holdover for “Jurassic World,” which last week set an opening weekend record with $208.8 million, has been bested by only 2012’s “The Avengers,” which made $103.1 million in second week. The unexpected sensation of the Colin Trevorrow-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced fourth entry in the franchise had turned Disney’s $175 million 3-D “Inside Out” into an underdog expected to merely nip at the heels of “Jurassic World.” But the emotional “Inside Out,” about the voices in the head of an 11-year-old girl, blew past its own forecasts to set

Tourism villages should have multiple positive effects

BANGLI - The large number of tourism villages that are scattered throughout Bangli County should be able to contribute, both economy of the region and villagers. Unfortunately, only a few of these tourism villages have succeeded in doing so. Ngakan Made Kutha Parwata, Chairman of the Bangli House, expressed this on Monday. He added that up until now only a few of these tourism villages have succeeded in providing significant positive influences on the lives of the villagers. “Tourism villages should not only support the

regionally generated revenue but more importantly, they must also contribute to improving the welfare of these local communities,” he explained. Penglipuran is one village that

has succeeded in doing so. The large number of tourists who have been visiting this village for some time now, have provided an opportunity for the local community to create a variety of home-based businesses. However, Purnawa also said that many other of the tourism villages in the region have not been so fortunate. Purnawa therefore hopes that the government of Bangli will provide assistance to designated tourist villages

both in terms of administration as well as management so that they too can develop their economies. He also emphasized that so far there seems to have been more emphasized placed on increasing the quantity of tourism villages rather than on improving their quality. In order to avoid negative impacts on the image of village tourism, quality and quantity should be balanced. “The quality of tourism villages needs to be of utmost

concern so that the villagers can enjoy the benefits of tourism,” he concluded. (kmb45) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Traditional boats out of business

SEMARAPURA - Sea transportation to the area of Nusa Penida, Klungkung, continues to experience a rapid development. A number of entrepreneurs are vying to pamper passengers by providing convenient and fast sea transportation like speed boats.

But many people don’t realize that speed boats are gradually extinguishing the role of traditional boats that use 40 HP engines. Similarly, with the crossing service offered between Buyuk and Padangbai that has become deserted of passengers. Buyuk harbour master, Made Oka, when contacted on Monday confirmed that traditional boats lack passengers because many people prefer to hire the speed boats that use 200HP engines. In terms of speed, the traditional boats are considerably slower that the speed boats. “In the 1990s, these traditional boats with 40 HP engine had their golden period. But today, they have become obsolete because they are no longer considered fast,” said Made Oka. According to Oka, today’s passengers prefer speed boats to traditional boats because they are faster and more convenient. Besides, the number of traditional boats available has also gone down. At Buyuk port, for example, said Oka, only traditional boats are still in operation and they are in poor condition and often remain on shore for lack of passengers. These boats generally only serve passengers during holidays or piodalan (temple birthday) at Penataran Dalem Ped Temple, otherwise they remain on shore in the harbor. The harbor master has implemented a policy requiring the traditional boats to park on shore so that the speed boats can maneuver freely to serve passengers. Tjokorda Gde Putra, who works in Nusa Penida admitted that he prefers the speedboats to traditional boat for making the crossing becuase they are faster and more convenient. “Although the cost of the ticket for crossing is more expensive IBP/Sri Wiadnyani than by traditional boat, we are willing to pay for the speed The people crossing to Nusa Penida Island prefer to use the speed boat rather than the traditional one. and convenience,” he said.

GIANYAR - Only a few people know that possesion of a deer or antelope horn is against the law ( Law No. 5/1990 on the conservation of natural resources and ecosystems). A man from Gianyar with the initials AK, for example was surprised to find himself being arrested and undergoing questioning by the Gianyar Police (Unit IV for Misdemeanors) due to his owning the horns of protected animals, and various other unique objects. The arrest came after Gianyar Police’s unit IV for Misdemeanor conducted an investigation into a number of protected animal objects. Ultimately the police who were investigating the case were lead to this man from Gianyar. “When searching Ak’s home, we indeed found a number of items protected by Law No. 5/1990 on the conservation of natural resources and ecosystems,” said the Chief of Unit IV for Misdemeanor of the Gianyar Police, IGN Winangun, with permission from the Chief of Gianyar Police Criminal

Sean Mosher appointed as Resort Manager Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan

UBUD - Sean Mosher has been appointed Resort Manager of Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan. He moves to the mountain retreat from Four Seasons Resort Langkawi in Malaysia, where he held the same position. The Canadian native joined the company in 2002 as Communications Manager for Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver. His career took him to Toronto and then England where he spent six years at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, working his way up from Assistant Front Office Manager to Rooms Director, before moving with his family to Langkawi in 2012. Originally from Nova Scotia, Sean said he “could not be happier about moving to Bali”, where he is looking forward to exploring the island’s diverse landscapes and indulging his love for the beach, golf and great outdoors - when he is not on official duty. “After 13 years with Four Seasons, this is a dream role for me,” said Sean.

“Sayan’s recent renovation is evident in the quality and comfort of the resort’s physical being, but it goes beyond that. Sayan has a very special energy, a spirituality and sense of balance that embraces you as soon as you walk across the bridge to the lobby, to be blessed with holy water and welcomed so warmly in the traditional way. It is a cultural immersion that must be experienced to really understand, but I became enraptured as soon as I visited the resort and I can understand why so many guests come back year after year to rebalance and unwind.” Sayan’s 60 fully-renovated suites and villas are nestled in a lush valley between two rivers in Bali’s central highlands, near the cultural

and artistic capital of Ubud. The resort’s iconic sustainable architecture has been further highlighted by the recent launch of its newest wellbeing space, the Dharma Shanti Yoga Bale. Built entirely of bamboo and offering a dynamic program of meditation, life talks and yoga – including Bali’s first introduction to AntiGravity® Yoga – the Bale is also a sanctuary for private classes and quiet introspection, with views across rice terraces to the sacred Ayung River. As Resort Manager, Sean will oversee the entire guest experience and report to Uday Rao, his predecessor who was recently promoted to General Manager of the two Four Seasons Resorts Bali, at Sayan and Jimbaran Bay.

Balinese Temple Ceremony

Every Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc. The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion. The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines. In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up “Penjor”, long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beautiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple. Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.

Investigation Unit, Dewa Putu Gede Anom Danujaya, on Sunday (Jun. 21). From the Alam Permata Store located on Jalan Patih Jelantik, Samplangan, Gianyar, police managed to secure four Timorese deer horns, two antelope horns, three pieces of candelabra sea fan with frame, 14 pieces of green peacock tail feathers, 67 bracelets of candelabra sea fan, one hog deer skull and one Timorese deer skull. “All the evidences has been secured in the Gianyar Police station while the perpetrator is being prepared for interrogation,” he explained. During the interrogation, AK confessed to have obtained the goods from different people in various regions in Indonesia. He also claimed that dozens of the protected objects were meant to be resold. “The goods were obtained from a several places in Indonesia and were intended to be sold here and overseas,” said the police and added that the alleged perpetrator is still undergoing interrogation at the Gianyar Police station.

Sixth mass extinction is here: US study

Lake Batur water inconsumable

BANGLI - The water from Lake Batur, that has been the source of water for many regions in Bali has become extremely polluted. A verification of water conditions, recently carried out by the Bangli Environment Agency (BLH) showed astounding results with the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) having increased dramatically making the Lake Batur’s water unfit for human consumption.

MIAMI - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims. Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley. The study “shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,” said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology. And humans are likely to be among the species lost, said the study -- which its authors described as “conservative” -- published in the journal Science Advances. “If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover and our species itself would likely disappear early on,” said lead author Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico. The analysis is based on documented extinctions of vertebrates, or animals with internal skeletons such as frogs, reptiles and tigers, from fossil records and other historical data. The modern rate of species loss was compared to the “natural rates of species disappearance before human activity dominated.” It can be difficult to estimate this rate, also known as the background rate, since humans don’t know exactly what happened throughout the course of Earth’s 4.5 billion year history. For the study, researchers used a past extinction rate that was twice as high as widely used estimates. If the past rate was two mammal extinctions per 10,000 species per 100 years, then the “average rate of vertebrate species loss over the last century is up to 114 times higher than it would be without human activity, even when relying on the most conservative estimates of species extinction,” said the study. “We emphasize that our calculations very likely underestimate the severity of the extinction crisis because our aim was to place a realistic lower bound on humanity’s impact on biodiversity.” The causes of species loss range from climate change to pollution to deforestation and more. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, about 41 percent of all amphibian species and 26 percent of all mammals are threatened with extinction. “There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead,” Ehrlich said. The study called for “rapid, greatly intensified efforts to conserve already threatened species, and to alleviate pressures on their populations -- notably habitat loss, over-exploitation for economic gain and climate change.” (afp)

Shaw Bronner, left, and Shaul Yahil, two researchers at the Yale Brain Function Lab, describe images on their computer screens to each other while their brain activity is mapped during a demonstration of the technology in New Haven, Conn.

Lasers, magnetism allow glimpses of the human brain at work

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut — To the untrained eye, the graph looked like a very volatile day on Wall Street — jagged peaks and valleys in red, blue and green, displayed on a wall. But the story it told was not about economics. It was a glimpse into the brains of Shaul Yahil and Shaw Bronner, two researchers at a Yale University lab, as they had a little chat. “This is a fork,” Yahil observed, describing the image on his computer. “A fork is something you use to stab food while you’re eating it. Common piece of cutlery in the West.” “It doesn’t look like a real fancy sterling silver fork, but very useful,” Bronner responded. And then she described her own screen: “This looks like a baby chimpanzee ...” The jagged, multicolored images depicted what was going on in the two researchers’ heads — two brains in conversation, carrying out an intricate dance of internal activity. This is no parlor trick. The brain-tracking technology at work is just a small part of the quest to answer abiding questions about the workings of a three-pound (1.4-kilogram) chunk of fatty tissue with the consistency of cold porridge.

How does this collection of nearly 100 billion densely packed nerve cells, acting through circuits with maybe 100 trillion connections, let us think, feel, act and perceive our world? How does this complex machine go wrong and make people depressed, or delusional, or demented? What can be done about that? Such questions spurred President Barack Obama to launch the BRAIN initiative in 2013. Its aim: to spur development of new tools to investigate the brain. Europe and Japan are also pursuing major efforts in brain research. The mysteries of this organ, which sucks up about 20 percent of the body’s energy, are many and profound. But with a collection of sophisticated devices, scientists are peering inside the working brains of people for clues to what makes us tick. At the Yale lab, Yahil and Bronner were demonstrating a technique being used there to investigate how our brains let us engage with other people. That’s one of the most basic questions in neuroscience, as well as an ability impaired in autism and schizophrenia, said lab director Joy Hirsch.

As the two researchers chatted, each wore a black-and-white skullcap from which 64 slender black cables trailed away like dreadlocks. At the tip of half of those fiber optic cables, weak laser beams slipped through their skulls and penetrated about an inch (2.5 centimeters) into their brains. There, the beams bounced off blood and reflected back to be picked up by the other half of the cables. Those reflections revealed how much oxygen that blood was carrying. And since brain circuits use more oxygen when they’re busier, the measurements provided an indirect index to patterns of brain activity as Bronner listened to Yahil and replied, and vice versa. The most widely used brainmapping technique, however, is a different one called functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI. Basically, fMRI does what Hirsch’s laser system does: It uses oxygen levels in blood as tracers of brain-cell activity. But it penetrates much deeper into the brain, using powerful magnetic fields. That lets it seek subtle magnetic signals to track blood oxygen levels on a tiny scale; a bump in oxygen levels indicates active brain cells nearby. (ap)

The Head of the BLH Bangli, I Made Alit Parwata, revealed on Sunday (Jun. 21) that BOD is a parameter to measure the amount of oxygen needed by bacteria to decompose almost all the organic substances dissolved and suspended in the wastewater. COD is the amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic substances contained in wastewater by utilizing a potassium dichromate oxidant as a source of oxygen. Based in the results of samples taken from the lake, he said, the BOD of lake Batur water is now above 2.5 mg/liter, while the standard quality of drinkable water is 2 mg/liter. The COD levels reached 13.7 mg/liter. This figure is higher considerably higher than the maximum 10 mg/liter required for water to be considered potable. Parwata added that high COD and BOD levels are caused by the presence solid waste substances originating from domestic activities, agriculture, trade and industry that are dumped into the lake without being having been processed. “The disposal of unprocessed waste has caused the lake water to become increasingly polluted -it is now unfit to drink,” he explained. Parwata added that the BLH has often appealed to the public to prevent the lake from becoming polluted. Unfortunatly the

response has not been good. An increase in the COD and BOD indicates that people have been dumping unprocessed waste into the lake. Public awareness about maintaining the health of lake water is still lacking. “Actually we have provided them with information because it is very important for the future. However, there are still people disposing of their unprocessed waste into the lake,” he said. To address this issue, Parwata is asking people to first process their wastewater according to government standards, before they discharge this waste into the lake. People are also being asked not to dispose of household wastewater directly into the water so as to prevent water pollution caused by bacteria. Likewise, radioactive waste must also be processed in advance so that hazardous radiation is not being dumped into the lake. As for fishery waste, Parwata is asking fish farmers to use ecofriendly technologies and to conduct their aquaculture in a responsible manner, according to existing procedures. “People need to get into the habit of processing wastewater before it is discharged it into the lake because the lake water is used by many people -its hygiene must be respected,” he said.

Establish cultural acculturation

Buddhists in Buleleng hold Vesak carnival

SINGARAJA - Cultural acculturation among the fellow Buddhists in Buleleng is very intense. It is showed by the procession of Vesak carnival, a series of celebration related to the feast of the Three Holy Vesak of the 2559 BE. Local residents flocked to see the nice acculturation of Bali and Thailand. Many trinkets presented entertained people from outside the Buleleng region such as those from Jakarta, Bandung, Makassar and Kalimantan, Sunday (Jun. 21). Track of the Vesak carnival passed through the main roads in Singaraja, from Jalan Ngurah Rai, Jalan Diponegoro as well as ended and gathered in the Mr. I

Gusti Ketut Pudja Building, at the former Buleleng Harbor. Chairman of the Joint Committee of the Vesak carnival, Jro Ketut Sandi, said that the procession of Vesak carnival

is a series of joint event involving the role of 19 monks from Thailand and India. Vesak procession poses a togetherness of the Buddhist with the people of Buleleng. “We do this for the first time in Buleleng. Appearance of the carnival is a perfect blend of Balinese and Thai tradition. It happens because our culture is so similar and not much different, especially regarding the carvings and trinkets,” said Sandi. During the journey of the Vesak

procession, all the participants walked while bringing along red white flags and the five colors of the Buddhist flag. In the meantime, the fashion of the participants poses the combination of Balinese and Thai tradition. Celebration of the Three Holy Vesak has the meaning of three memorial events on the Waisaka month, such as the utpati (creation), stiti (maintenance) and pralina (destruction). It is closely related to the birth of Siddhartha

Gautama. During the meditation process, Siddhartha managed to discover the identity and the answer that living in the mundane world is simply a process. A part of human happiness in life is a conditional happiness. When humans are not able to help the other fellow beings, then happiness will disappear and changes into the form of suffering. All the people are expected to practice good deeds and help one another. (kmb34)

Placement of cigarette ads at main road section stopped

GIANYAR - The government of Gianyar will no longer issue or extend the license of all kinds of tobacco advertisement mounted on main road sections in Gianyar. Similarly, the government also gives deadline until the end of this month for the owners of cigarette advertisement on roadside to dismantle their properties. “By degrees, we reduce the cigarette advertisement as mandated by Government Regulation No.109/2012. We no longer extend the permit of tobacco advertisement on main road section. Its deadline is at the end of this June so that all forms of tobacco advertisement on the main road section have to be dismantled,” said Data Collection

Division Head of the Gianyar Integrated Licensing Office, Komang Alit Adnyana. According to him, so far there have been some cigarette advertisements on main roads having been dismantled. However, some ads are remaining to get mounted. To that end, some advertisers have promised to immediately dismantle their advertisements before the deadline specified. If the deadline is violated, Alit mentioned that his party will make coordination with Municipal Police to forcibly dismantle the mounted advertisements. “Since we do not renew its license, it means that until the deadline, there will be no more tobacco advertisement mounted

on the main roads that have permission,” he said. According to Alit, certain zones are banned from the placement of cigarette advertisement in accordance with the government regulations. Gianyar itself also has a regent regulation related to the category of road. The regulations of central and local government are then synchronized so that there is a clear zone regarding the placement of cigarette advertisement. The Government Regulation No.109/2012 on the Safeguarding of Addictive-Containing Substances in the Form of Tobacco Products for Health explains about the rules of outdoor advertising media. It includes

that it may not be mounted in Smoking-free Area, on main road as well as must be placed parallel to the shoulder of the road and must not transverse and may not exceed the size of 72 square meters. In the meantime, the revenue from advertisement tax, Alit claimed that his party remains optimistic that the target can be achieved even though there is restriction on the placement of cigarette advertisement. According to him, the target of advertisement tax in 2015 is set about IDR 3 billion. Until now, the development of both quarterly and monthly achievement has been on target or around IDR 250 million per month. (kmb25)

Prosecutors call new witnesses in Mladic genocide case

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Prosecutors reopened their case Monday against former Bosnian Serb military chief Gen. Ratko Mladic at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal to present new evidence gleaned from a mass grave discovered in Bosnia in 2013. More than 400 bodies have been recovered from the grave in Tomasica. Prosecutors say evidence gathered there demonstrates the involvement of Bosnian Serb forces under Mladic’s command in the murder and burial of non-Serbs in the Prijedor region early in the country’s 1992-95 war. Mladic, whose trial started in 2012, was in court for Monday’s hearing but did not speak. He is charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for his alleged role orchestrating atrocities by Bosnian Serb forces. If convicted, the 73year-old faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Mladic insists he is innocent and claims his wartime actions were to protect Serbs in Bosnia. It was not immediately clear what evidence prosecutors were presenting to the

More than 100,000 migrants have entered Europe so far this year, with some 2,000 dead or missing during the perilous quest to reach the continent. Dozens of boats set off from lawless Libya each week, with Italy and Greece bearing the brunt of the surge. The naval operation, which was officially launched by EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg, will operate in international waters and airspace until the EU can secure a U.N. Security Council resolution endorsing its effort and permission from Libyan officials to enter their territory. “We will start implementing the first phase of the operation in the coming days. This covers information-gathering and patrolling on the high seas to support the detection and monitoring of smuggling networks,” said EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. “The targets are not the migrants. The targets are those that are making money on their lives and too

often on their deaths,” she told reporters. The EU aims to “dismantle the business model” of the traffickers by destroying their boats, she said. But the U.N. has been slow to endorse the operation amid criticism from refugee groups that the move will only deprive migrants fleeing poverty and conflict of a major way to escape, rather than address the roots of the problem. Libya’s divided factions have also been reluctant to approve any operation in its waters or on land, which means that the transition to more robust phases of the naval mission could take months. A senior EU diplomatic official, speaking on condition of anonymity so as to provide operational details, said five naval units led by Italian light aircraft carrier Cavour will be joined by two submarines, three maritime surveillance planes, two drones and two helicopters for the operation.

three-judge panel. The first witness called by prosecutors testified mostly in closed session. The witness’s identity also was withheld from the public. It is unusual for the tribunal to re-open a case. Prosecutors finished presenting their evidence in February 2014 and Mladic began laying out his defense three months later. Judges allowed prosecutors to re-open their case because evidence from the Tomasica grave had not been fully analyzed at the time they closed their case. The hundreds of people buried in Tomasica were Bosnian Muslims and Croats killed in 1992 in the Prijedor region of northwest Bosnia as Serb forces attempted to carve out an ethnically pure state that was to include parts of Bosnia and Croatia. Some 10,000 Bosnians who went missing during the war still have not been found. Mladic’s trial is one of the last still underway at the UN court. Judges are considering their verdicts against his former political master, Radovan Karadzic, AP Photo/Amel Emric who also faces genocide and other charges for allegedly masterminding Serb crimes.

SINGARAJA - In addition to the threat of a clean water crisis, Buleleng is also facing the threat of forest fires as the dry season sets in. This threat is significant given the this region has several fire-prone forest areas. The Buleleng Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has therefor taken certain precautionary measures.

Athens says Europe ‘doesn’t need IMF’ on eve of crunch summit

ATHENS - Greece does not want any more help from the IMF, minister of state Nikos Pappas said Sunday on the eve of a summit which could determine whether the country crashes out of the eurozone. “I am one of those who think that the IMF should not be in Europe. I hope we find a solution without its participation,” Pappas, who is close to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, told the daily Ethnos on Sunday. He claimed that Europe “has no need” of the Washington-based institution, which has an “agenda which is not at all European” and “can continue without it and its money”. The IMF was called in to help rescue Greece at the end of 2009 when the debtplagued country could no longer borrow on international markets. The EU’s involvement in the huge bailout, which was to provide 240 billion euro in loans in exchange for drastic austerity measures and reforms, runs out at the end of this month, but IMF support was to supposed to

BUSINESS

SINGAPORE - Oil prices edged higher in Asia Monday but gains were capped as dealers focused on crunch Greek debt talks as well as a possible return of Iranian supplies disrupted by international sanctions, analysts said. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for July delivery gained five cents to $59.66 while Brent crude for August gained three cents to $63.05 in afternoon trade. Sanjeev Gupta, head of the AsiaPacific oil and gas practice at business consultancy firm EY, said crude prices were facing downward pressure “due to concerns over the Greek financial crisis”. The heads of the 19 eurozone countries will hold an emergency summit in Brussels later Monday under pressure to prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt. If the two sides are unable to agree a deal, Greece will likely default on an IMF debt payment of around 1.5 billion euros due on June 30, leading to the possibility of it crashing out of the eurozone. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Sunday presented new proposals on reforming the country’s bailout to European leaders, raising hopes that a default can be averted after a five-month deadlock. Daniel Ang, investment analyst at Phillip Futures in Singapore, said negotiations between crude producer Iran and world powers over Tehran’s controversial nuclear programme are “going to give headwind for crude prices this week”. Six global powers -- Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States -- are trying to nail down a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions by reducing its stockpiles of enriched uranium and mothballing some of its sites. If the agreement is reached by June 30 and implemented subsequently, the powers have agreed to gradually scale back sanctions imposed since 2012, including on its petroleum industry. Iran has the world’s fourth-largest oil reserves but its exports have fallen from more than 2.2 million barrels per day in 2011 to about 1.3 million because of the sanctions. A return of disrupted Iranian supplies “could cause another round of oversupply” in a global market already flush with stockpiles, Ang said. (ap)

continue to March 2016. Talks between Greece and its lenders have deadlocked for nine months over the payment of the next 7.2-billion-euro tranche of the bailout, with talk also turning to an extension of the European help. Differences of approach between the EU and the IMF have also dogged the discussions. For the Greek government any extension of the bailout should be about kickstarting the country’s devastated economy and not further austerity. They also want its crippling debt burden lightened. “The agreement should be of a type and timeframe so that it would restore confidence,” Pappas told the newspaper. “It shouldn’t be short-term which would only lead to further uncertainty.”

He set out Greece’s demands, which include the exchange of 27 billion euros of Greek debt held by the European Central Bank to be transferred to the eurozone’s crisis-fighting fund, the European Stability Mechanism -- an idea first floated by Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis -- a restructuring of debt owed to the IMF, and an economic development programme that would last until 2021. But Athens proposals have already been knocked back by their creditors, who have insisted on their own mixture of cuts and reforms, which Pappas dismissed as “unacceptable to whichever Greek political party” was in power. Tsipras will meet the leaders of the 18 other eurozone countries for a summit in Brussels on Monday to try to find a way of preventing Greece finally defaulting on its debt repayments due at the end of the month.

Along with mapping out the fire-prone areas of the forest, the Agency has also increased its personnel, improved the operations of its fire trucks and has inspected all existing firehydrants in the area. Chief Executive of the Buleleng Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), I Ketut Yasa, when contacted via telephone said that they have been preparing for the dry season by mapping out the areas that border the forests and have been coordinating with other areas such as Gerokgak, Tajakula and Kubutambahan subdistricts that all border the forest, especially concerning areas that are vulnerable to fire. Based on the experience of previous years, forest fires tend to occur due to the negligence of people who go into the forest looking for honey or other “products”. Such freelance forest activities can definitely be a threat to the forest. “We’ve been coordinating with villages that border forests so that they can

participate in being vigilant about forest fires. Most importantly, people are expected to support these efforts by not to throwing cigarettes butts haphazardly in dry areas nor deliberately making bonfires in the woods at this time of year,” he said. According to Yasa, the firefighters are very well prepared in terms of facilities and infrastructure. Apart from having fire trucks on hand, personnel have been well trained to immediately respond to reports of fires so that firefighters can get to the fire as soon as possible. In addition, fire hydrants in Buleleng have all been checked and are nearly all functioning properly. Yasa added that those hydrants that are in need of repair will be attended to shortly so that in the case a fire nearby they can provide optimal amounts of water. “We are ready to fight any fires that are reported, water source points have been checked and those points that are not functioning optimally will be repaired shortly,” he added.

Barong Artisan at Puaya Hamlet If you are traveling in Bali you are probably familiar with the Barong Dance. There are however two kinds of barong dance; barong sesuwunan (sacred barong) dance that is performed as a part of Hindu religious ceremonies on the Island of the Gods and the profane Barong Dance specifically performed to entertain travelers. Do you know where and how the barong costume is made? Puaya hamlet, Batuan village in Sukawati, Gianyar is one of the villages that produces high quality barong, and has the atmosphere of a typical Balinese village with very friendly people. The village is located next to the Sukawati Market, about 30 km or 45 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport. Most residents of Puaya are involved in craft production and nearly every house has a sign that indicates the name of the artisan and type of craft produced there including barong, puppet and dance apparel makers. Among the barong crafters, the most famous production house is “Oklan Barong Craftsman”. Oklan gained notoriety in many foreign countries and after his death, his expertise was carried on by his son, Made Mudiasa. Despite being quite young, Made Mudiasa’s works are no less excellent that that of his father’s and he continues to make Barong in the same style as his ancestors and members of his family help in the production process. He is also skilled at creating new designs, so he is never short of customers. The place used to carve barong is located in the westernmost building of his family home. Mudiarsa makes profane barong used in

performances for entertainment or display, but he also makes sacred barong that are used in Balinese ceremonies. “The process of making a sacred barong is different that the process of making a profane one. The differences start right from the beginning such as the process of selecting the wood and run through the workmanship all the way up to the completion of the barong which is accompanied by a ceremony in the case of a sacred barong” said Mudiarsa. The best materials for making barong are blackboard and frangipani wood. There is a special ceremony, which precedes the search for wood, especially for wood that will be used for the making of a sacred barong. Once the wood has been obtained, the artisan proceeds to carve assemble and then refine using corse sandpaper first and then finer and finer grains. “The making of a sacred barong must start on an auspicious day, so that the strength of the barong can emerge,” explained Mudiarsa. Once the barong has been formed, various ornaments are prepared including sekartaji made of cowhide. Good quality hide is first selected and then worked on adding glass ornaments and then painted with gold leaf. “We make all the finish touches and then once whoever ordered it is ready, we install the head or mask of the barong,” he said. In addition to making barong, Made Mudiarsa also makes various kinds of masks for dancers, such as the old mask, hard mask, jauk, bondres (comedian) and others. He also produces a variety of decorative clothing and apparel used for rangda mask dance, the baris dance as well as other dance knick-knacks made of leather. All these products are dis-

played in the showroom located in front of his house. In the showroom or art shop are kinds of barong on display. There are barongs that have already been painted as well as those that have yet to be given color and include diverse kinds of barong such as the barong ket, barong bangkal, barong landung and barong kedengkling. Mudiarsa’s bale daja or northern pavilion is filled with finished barong that have yet to be painted. Made Mudiarsa says he has been making barong since 2000 after his father passed

away. His father, grandfather and ancestors were famous barong craftsmen, who used to make barong ket, barong bangkal and barong landung. The price of Mudiarsa’s barong is subject to change according to the times. Currently, the price of barong ket used for entertainment, ranges from IDR 40 million to IDR 60 million, while, the price of sacred barong is IDR 250 million. If the barong is embellished with jewelry or other knickknacks made of silver or gold ornaments, the price can reach as much as IDR 350 million. (kmb)

A South Korean protester holds a torn poster of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe giving a speech with a Japan’s naval ensign, attends a rally to demand to break up diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan in front of Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, Monday, June 22, 2015.

Leaders of South Korea, Japan mark anniversary of normalized ties

SEOUL — The leaders of South Korea and Japan attended separate ceremonies Monday in their respective capitals marking the 50th anniversary of the resumption of normal ties — small, mostly symbolic moves that could signal an easing of abysmal relations between the key U.S. allies. The United States, which sees the neighbors as important military and diplomatic bulwarks in its regional strategy, will welcome the visits by South Korean President Park Geun-hye to a Japan-organized event in Seoul and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to a South Korea-organized event in Tokyo. It is unclear, however, how much will actually change between the neighbors amid lingering bad feelings seven decades after Japan’s World War II surrender. Many in Seoul are uncomfortable with what’s seen as Abe’s right-wing tilt and Tokyo’s push to whitewash its brutal colonization of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945. Some in Japan have expressed fatigue and frustration with South Korea’s perceived re-

fusal to recognize Japan’s previous efforts at reconciliation. South Koreans complain about Japan’s perceived refusal to deal fairly with the issue of women forced by the Japanese military into sexual slavery during Tokyo’s colonization and World War II, and over disputed islets occupied by South Korea but claimed by Japan. Since taking office in early 2013, Park has not held official one-on-one talks with Abe, although President Barack Obama brought them together for a threeway meeting last year. Park, in a message read by her foreign minister during the Tokyo event, said the two countries must work together this year to open a new era of cooperation by resolving historical issues that

she described as “the biggest obstacle” to better ties, according to her office. The two leaders have faced calls at home and abroad to improve ties. Their countries are closely linked economically and are crucial to U.S. military and diplomatic interests in the region. Washington wants Seoul and Tokyo to help the U.S. deal with a rising China and with nuclear threats from North Korea. Between them, Japan and South Korea host about 80,000 U.S. troops, the core of America’s military presence in the Asia-Pacific. Abe, in his speech in Tokyo, vowed to cooperate with Park and said economic, cultural and people exchanges between the two countries over the past 50 years have become “invaluable assets.” (ap)

German court to decide on Al-Jazeera journalist’s fate BERLIN — German authorities on Monday were examining Egypt’s accusations against an Al-Jazeera journalist detained in Berlin, trying to figure out whether to keep him in custody pending a possible extradition hearing. Ahmed Mansour 52, a wellknown journalist with the Qatar-based broadcaster’s Arabic service, was detained Saturday at Berlin’s Tegel airport as he tried to board a Qatar Airways flight to Doha. Berlin prosecutors were expected to make an announcement later Monday in the case. Justice Ministry spokesman Piotr Malachowski said Mansour was picked up on the basis of a request from Interpol, which had gone through his ministry and the Foreign Ministry and then was routinely passed along to federal police. Now, he said, German authorities were reviewing the case to determine whether to keep holding Mansour. Mansour, who holds EgyptianBritish nationality, has been convicted in absentia in Egypt on charges that his lawyers and

reporters’ groups call politically motivated. Mansour ’s detention is the latest in a long series of legal entanglements between Egypt and satellite news channels. According to court documents, he was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison, alongside two Muslim Brotherhood members and an Islamic preacher, for allegedly torturing a lawyer in Tahrir Square in 2011, a charge both he and the channel rejects. Speaking to reporters at a government press conference, Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said the case was one for Germany’s courts to decide. But he noted that his office has regularly spoken out against human rights issues in Egypt and the widespread use of the death penalty and had the option to veto any extradition decision by the court. “There will be an intensive examination of the criminal allegations in the light of due process in the Egyptian judicial system, particularly in relation to cases involving the media or to people who are close to the Muslim Brotherhood,” Schaefer said.

Taliban suicide bomber, gunmen attack Afghan parliament KABUL— A Taliban suicide bomber struck the entrance to the Afghan parliament on Monday and gunmen tried to storm the heavily guarded compound, setting off a gunbattle with police that left two people dead as lawmakers were meeting inside to vote on the appointment of a new defense minister. Afghan security forces managed to repel the attack, killing all seven gunmen and ensuring that no members of parliament were harmed. But the audacious assault came as the Taliban captured two districts in as many days in the country’s north, displaying their ability to operate on multiple fronts. Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said the attack began with a car bomb explosion near the entrance to parliament. Gunmen then attempted to storm the compound but were pushed back by security forces

and eventually corralled into a nearby building that was under construction. Sediqqi later said all seven attackers were killed by police and that no members of parliament were harmed. “It is over now,” he said. Sediqqi said a woman the a 10-year-old girl were killed, and Health Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ismail Kahousi said 31 civilians were wounded in the parliament attack, including two women and two children. Sidiqa Mubarez, a member of parliament, said the building was rocked by the large explosion and that some people were wounded by flying glass. She said the explosion happened shortly after Masoom Stanekzai had arrived to be confirmed as defense minister, a post that has been vacant for nine months. The vote was delayed by the attack. The Taliban claimed the attack in a statement to media. (ap)

INDONESIA Rising unemployment piles up problems for President Jokowi

Indonesian judge Ujang Abdullah raps his gavel as he reads the verdict for Serge Atlaoui, a French national who is on death row after being convicted of drug offences, during a hearing at the State Administrative Court in Jakarta, Indonesia, Monday, June 22, 2015. The administrative court on Monday denied the final appeal of Atlaoui facing execution for drug offenses.

Court rejects appeal of Frenchman facing execution

JAKARTA — An Indonesian court on Monday denied the final appeal of a French national who faces execution for drug offenses, setting the stage for diplomatic retaliation by France after executions of other foreigners strained relations with Australia and Brazil. The administrative court in Jakarta said it could not overturn a presidential rejection of clemency for Serge Atlaoui, citing a lack of judicial authority. His case has drawn national attention in France, which vigorously opposes the death penalty. Muslim majority Indonesia takes a hardline stance against drug crimes and resumed executions in 2013. So far this year it has executed 14 people, mostly foreigners, convicted in drug cases. Officials justify the death penalty by pointing to the estimated 18,000 young Indonesians who die each year from drug use. Presiding judge Ujang Abdullah said the court has no capacity to rule on the case since granting clemency is the prerogative right of the president. “The President’s right to grant clemency is granted by the consti-

tution while the authority of the Administrative Court is just to judge on decrees issued by administrative officials,” Abdullah said. Lawyers for Atlaoui, 51, made the last-ditch appeal which had little chance of success after President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo denied clemency in December. Prosecutors dismissed the legal maneuvering as only an effort to buy time but did not try to block the appeal. Officials have been at pains to show Atlaoui was not denied any of his fights under Indonesian law after France’s foreign minister Laurent Fabius condemned the handling of his case. French President Francois Hollande has warned of diplomatic consequences and possible economic fallout if Atlaoui is executed. The Frenchman was arrested in 2005 for involvement in an

ecstasy factory on the outskirts of Jakarta. His lawyers say he was employed as a welder at the factory and did not understand what the chemicals on the premises were used for. “From the beginning of this case, we know and believe that our client is innocent,” said lawyer Nancy Yuliana. She said the legal fight will continue even though the court said all legal options are exhausted. Attorney General’s office spokesman Tony Spontana said the execution would happen after the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which ends July 17 in Indonesia. “We welcome the Jakarta Administrative Court’s decision rejecting Atlaoui’s last appeal,” Spontana said. “This is good news for us, but we will not do anything related with his case during Ramadan.” (ap)

JAKARTA - Indonesian companies are shedding jobs as they grapple with the weakest economic growth in six years, adding to the troubles facing President Joko Widodo, who was elected last year on pledges to dig the country out of a rut. Government data might suggest no cause for alarm - unemployment was 5.81 percent in February, up only slightly from 5.70 percent a year earlier - but the official numbers are notoriously unreliable and don’t adequately cover the informal sector, which is two-thirds of Southeast Asia’s biggest economy. Recent reports of heavy lay-offs across the country paint a bleaker picture, and business executives, recruitment firms and jobseekers say it is getting worse. Young people are being hit hardest; the International Labour Organization estimated the youth jobless rate was more than 20 percent in 2013, and economists believe it is higher now. About a third of the workforce is aged 15 to 29, a youth bulge that could bring Indonesia, a country of 250 million people, the sort of demographic dividend China and South Korea enjoyed a generation ago - but only if there are jobs for the 2 million people joining the workforce every year. “The government doesn’t have a blueprint for labour absorption,” said property businessman Hariyadi Sukamdani, chairman of the Indonesian employers’ association. When he took office eight months ago, Widodo said he would pour billions of dollars into infrastructure and foster growth in manufacturing. But the promised splurge on roads, power plants and ports has not materialised, largely because of bureaucratic hold-ups and land disputes, and a shortage of skilled labour is holding back growth in value-added industries. Miners have been hammered by a double whammy: a ban on mineral ore exports and a sharp drop in commodity prices. Meanwhile, labour-intensive industries such as textiles and manufacturing have been hit by the rupiah’s slide to a 17-yearlow, which has raised the cost of

imported raw materials. Hundreds of redundant garment factory workers protested for hours this week in the financial district of Jakarta, the capital, after their company was declared bankrupt and its assets seized by two banks. Unemployment in turn is hitting consumption, which makes up more than half of Indonesia’s economy. Automobile sales in May fell 18.4 percent from a year earlier, the ninth decline in a row. “Stocks are piling up because nobody is buying. The people’s purchasing power is weak,” said Ade Sudrajat, head of Indonesia’s textile association. “This has never happened before in the last 45 years.” Arif Budimanta, adviser to the finance minister, said the government was introducing measures such as halving lending rates for small businesses and exempting most goods from a luxury tax to stimulate consumption. At job fairs in Jakarta the gloom is palpable. Naomi Octiva Naibaho, a manager at the Kompaskarier. com portal that ran one such fair recently, said about 6,000 jobseekers turned up every day, roughly triple the number of positions on offer. Gita Harahap, 26, has been sending resumes for weeks since the bank where she worked as a teller started a round of lay-offs, but she has had no luck. “No one has called me back,” she said. “The competition is tighter.” In the first five months of this year, 79 companies approached Universitas Indonesia for potential recruitment, down from 110 over the same period of 2014, said Sandra Fikawati, head of the university’s career development centre. The slowdown is also affecting higher-paid jobs, including in financial services, said Rob Bryson, Indonesia country manager for recruitment firm Robert Walters. From mid-2013 to late last year, the number of foreigners holding work permits in Indonesia is estimated to have dropped 20 percent to around 62,000, partly because expatriate jobseekers saw more opportunities in Western countries, he said.

LONDON - Andy Murray warmed up for Wimbledon by winning back-to-back matches at the Aegon Championships on Sunday as he scooped his fourth title at Queen’s Club by dismantling big-serving South African Kevin Anderson 6-3 6-4 in the final. To the delight of the home crowd, the world number three showed no sign of weariness when returning to court two hours after completing his semi-final against Viktor Troicki which had been held up by rain the previous evening. He had resumed at 3-3 in the first set against the Serb and quickly established control to come through 6-3 7-6(4). Murray was confident his return of serve would enable him to cope against the lanky Anderson, who went into the final having thundered down 96 aces in his three previous matches. So it proved, even though Anderson fired down two more aces in his first service game and soon reached three figures for the week. The top seed’s returning nevertheless enabled him to make a crucial breakthrough once in each set and his own serve never let him down. A range of dropshots and lobs also proved too subtle for Anderson, and also suggested that Murray was in fine fettle ahead of Wimbledon which starts on June 29. The first break came in the fourth game, when Murray confidently returned a 141

mile-per-hour serve, forcing his unseeded opponent to net a volley. Anderson was broken with a series of superb shots to fall 3-2 behind in the second and was unable to recover. Murray sealed victory when the South African went wide on a service return, allowing the Briton to join John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick from the modern era as four-times Queen’s winners. The Scot’s titles have come in alternate years -- 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. “Both matches today were good performances and I played a little bit better as the week went on,” Murray said in an on-court interview. “It’s been a great week for me and hopefully I can continue that form through to Wimbledon.” Murray even believes he is in better form than two years ago, when he won Wimbledon by beating Novak Djokovic in the final. “I’m playing better than then, I feel,” he added. “But it’s extremely difficult to win these events when everyone is improving all the time. “You are playing against some of the greatest players that have ever played so you need to keep working hard and I still feel there are things I can improve on.” Anderson will also hope for a good run on the All England Club grass after an impressive tournament. “I played some good tennis throughout the week and I can take a lot of positives from it,” he said.

Brazil beat Venezuela to set up Paraguay tie

SANTIAGO - Thiago Silva and Roberto Firmino scored either side of halftime to fire Brazil to a 2-1 win over Venezuela at the Copa America on Sunday, sending the five-times world champions into a quarter-final meeting with Paraguay. The victory completed the quarter-final line up that will see hosts Chile face Uruguay on Wednesday, Peru take on Bolivia on Thursday, and Colombia line up against Argentina on Friday. Saturday’s tie between Brazil and Paraguay will be a repeat of four years ago when the Paraguayans advanced on penalties. “Paraguay is a hard opponent, anyone who watched the last Copa America could see that they got to the final and deservedly so,” defender Thiago Silva said on Brazilian television after the game. Venezuela had never beaten Brazil in six Copa America games and their job was made all the harder after just nine minutes. Thiago Silva, recalled to the side for this match after being dropped, opened the scoring in spectacular style when he volleyed home a corner from former Real Madrid striker Robinho. Firmino doubled their lead six minutes into the second half when he leapt to volley home a cross from Willian on the left. Nicolas Fedor got a consolation goal for Venezuela six minutes from time when he stooped to head home from close range after Jefferson had touched a free kick from Juan Arango onto the post. The result takes Brazil’s goalscoring record against Venezuela in the Copa America to 27 goals for to two against. (rtr)

Colombia coach Pekerman rues Valencia loss after Peru stalemate TEMUCO, Chile - The loss of midfielder Edwin Valencia midway through the first half was a turning in point in Colombia’s 0-0 draw with Peru at the Copa America on Sunday, coach Jose Pekerman said. Brazil’s 2-1 win over Venezuela, which gave them top place in Group C and a last-eight clash with Paraguay, meant Colombia scraped through as the second-best third placed team to a quarter-final against Group B winners Argentina on Friday. Peru had the same goal difference as Colombia but finished second in the group on goals scored and progressed to a quarter-final with Bolivia, who were second to hosts Chile in Group A. “We tried everything, Colombia always sought to win the match. We came close, in the first half we put a lot of pressure on Peru,” Pekerman told reporters. “But then we suffered an unexpected injury, inopportune, unfortunate. That’s always a difficult situation ... Valencia was the nexus who made all our players fit together.” Colombia lost their rhythm after Valencia fell badly on his right knee in the 20th minute of the match at Temuco and had to be replaced by Alexander Mejia.

“The game evened out a bit, we tried to accommodate ourselves but didn’t quite manage,” said Pekerman, whose side had beaten Brazil 1-0 in their previous match after a shock 1-0 loss to Venezuela. “We had chances in the second half and sought desperately to score,” the Argentine added. “A goal changes things and if you don’t score it gets tough. To be 0-0 was not good for us, we played under the sword. “Peru kept their lines tight, their priority was to draw and sporadically try to make the most of a chance ... We were never able to play through balls which is what we like.” Pekerman’s compatriot and Peru counterpart Ricardo Gareca said his team had “reached an important objective we had set ourselves”. “We played an interesting game and in time we’ll be able to grow a lot more,” said Gareca, charged with rebuilding the Peruvian team in a bid to reach their first World Cup finals since 1982. “The opening minutes were tough because Colombia came at us but we gradually controlled the game. Overall the team looked balanced and we kept a clean sheet.” (rtr)

ABUJA, Nigeria — The Nigeria Football Federation said it has been assured that coach Stephen Keshi will honor his two-year contract despite being named as a candidate to take charge of African champion Ivory Coast. The NFF said Keshi, who signed a new contract in April, is “very happy” with his job in Nigeria. Keshi was on a list of more than 50 candidates published recently by the Ivorian federation to take over from Frenchman Herve Renard. But in a weekend statement, the NFF said Keshi’s manager, Emmanuel Addo, had given assurances that “as a professional, he (Keshi) will see out his contract.” Keshi coached Nigeria to the

2013 African Cup of Nations title, but has had a turbulent time in charge. He resigned in 2013 and was fired last year. He was reinstated both times. Keshi’s success in leading Africa’s most populous country to its first continental title in 19 years, and into the second round at the World Cup in Brazil, was tempered when Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2015 African Cup to defend its title. Keshi, a former national-team captain, went through a long contract negotiation process before agreeing to a new deal two months ago. He had previously been critical of the NFF for the way it treated him but still agreed to return. Addo said Keshi was pleased to be considered as a candidate by Ivory Coast but would be staying with Nigeria, with the 2017 African Cup and 2018 World Cup qualifying competitions ahead. Addo didn’t say if Keshi had applied for the Ivorian job amid reports that the NFF was investigating if Keshi approached the Ivory Coast federation. (ap)

Russia cuts budget for 2018 World Cup by over $500m

MOSCOW — Russia has slashed over $500 million from its official budget for the 2018 World Cup after cutting spending on hotels and infrastructure. The government is curbing most areas of public spending as the economy contracts due to the low oil price. An order signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and published Monday cut the total World Cup budget by 29.2 billion rubles ($544 million) to 631.5 billion rubles ($11.8 billion). Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko revealed in April that the government had decided to slash the number of luxury hotels, warning they could lie empty after the tournament. That reduction in the number of hotels was confirmed in law Monday, while various projects to improve drainage were also removed from spending plans. “We’re optimizing and cutting expenses,” Mutko told Russian agency R-Sport. “First of all we’re removing the excess number of hotels.” Mutko said the budgets for building the stadiums had been left intact. Over the last year,

stadium budgets have come under strain after a fall in the value of the ruble made imported equipment and materials more expensive. Russia has also reached a deal with FIFA to cut the number of training bases provided for the teams from 48 to 36, or three per stadium, Mutko said. “With FIFA, we were able to optimize the list of hotels and bases for hosting national teams,” he said. It was not immediately clear which training bases would be cut. A preliminary list of training bases raised eyebrows earlier this year after it included locations in the volatile regions of Chechnya and Dagestan, where Islamist insurgents operate. Russian World Cup organizers have said the areas are safe and would be well secured during the tournament. More than half of the total budget will be funded by the federal government, which is providing 335 billion rubles ($6.25 billion). Other funding sources include regional governments, state-run companies and private investors. (ap)

Belanger’s goal in 52nd minute lifts Canada past Swiss 1-0 VANCOUVER — John Herdman flew to Quebec in November 2012 for a coaching conference and another matter he considered rather pressing: To bring Josee Belanger back to the national team for a World Cup run at home. Once she could understand the Canadian coach’s Geordie English accent, they struck an agreement. Belanger’s big left foot propelled Canada right into the Women’s World Cup quarterfinal on home soil, with her goal in the 52nd minute lifting the tournament hosts past Switzerland 1-0 in a knockout-round match Sunday. Herdman is thrilled now that he was so persistent with the versatile Belanger. “I delivered at the coaching conference and I knew Josee was in the crowd, so I called her out in the crowd in front of all the coaches and said, ‘Look, your country needs you,’” Herdman said. “I said, ‘Look, girl, you’ve got a great opportunity with a home World Cup and an Olympic Games just around the corner.’ ... I’ll never forget that first training session, she dribbled past four players and scored.” Belanger, back at her preferred forward position following a three-game stint on defense in the group stage, controlled a touch from Christine Sinclair and struck it left-footed to finish into the lower corner of the net past diving Swiss goalkeeper Gaelle Thalmann. That’s all it took to send rocking BC Place into a frenzy. This is why Belanger is wearing the Maple Leaf once again. “I was ready to come back and I tried to do best to make a difference. I was coming back also to get the chance to inspire that next generation,

which I already started when I was coaching,” Belanger said. “I wanted to be an example for them. Each time I go on the pitch, I’m giving my all.” As Belanger pumped both arms in celebration while running back, coach John Herdman jumped into the air as his squad came out energized after halftime. Switzerland’s solid attack and pressure in the first half helped quiet the crowd of 53,855 — which topped even the World Cup opener and was noted as the largest attendance for a Canadian national team event in any men’s or women’s sports. Canada advances to face sixthranked England or No. 11 Norway in the quarterfinals next Saturday back here at BC Place. The Canadians beat a European team in the World Cup for the first time in 11 tries. Belanger had a chance at another goal when Thalmann got pulled out of the box in the 68th minute, but Caroline Abbe stepped in and cleared the shot. In the 78th minute, Canadian goalie Erin McLeod blocked a shot by Vanessa Bernauer right in front of the goal. She had another leaping save in the waning moments of injury time. Herdman made several successful lineup switches from the final group stage game, a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands last Monday. Defender Rhian Wilkinson came back from a hamstring injury and Lauren Sesselmann returned to her center back spot while the 29-year-old Belanger moved up front to score her sixth international goal. It was her first goal in 23 matches since 2010. Swiss star Lara Dickenmann will be thinking about her missed chance. She couldn’t get a foot on the ball to one-touch from close range in the 14th

minute on a pretty cross from Ramona Bachmann in one of Switzerland’s best opportunities. Belanger also hit the post in the 16th, moments before Melissa Tancredi collided midair with Thalmann, who fell hard to the turf onto her back. Herdman’s team, playing to chants of “Can-a-da! Can-a-da!”, advances past the group stage for just the second time in the country’s World Cup history. In 2003, the Canadians reached the semifinal and led 1-0 over Sweden before allowing two goals over the final 12 minutes to lose 2-1 and wound up in fourth place. Herdman stressed how defense alone wouldn’t win it, and his team set the tempo in the second half. Canada, bronze medalist in the 2012 London Olympics after a 4-3 semifinal loss to the U.S., scored only two goals on the way to the round of 16. Canada defender Kadeisha Buchanan gave Lara Dickenmann a slight shove and made several solid tackles to lead the back line. Buchanan did so after missing the practices leading up to Sunday because of an abdominal injury. Switzerland coach Martina VossTecklenburg — a three-time World Cups player in her day for Germany — embraced the opportunity for her young team to face Canada with its raucous home crowd. For one half, the Swiss hung tough playing at BC Place for the third time in four World Cup matches. They beat Ecuador 10-1 on June 12 in Group C action and lost 1-0 in their World Cup opener to defending champion Japan on June 8. “It was a highly intense match, exactly what we expected. There was

perhaps insufficient consistency on our part up front,” Voss-Tecklenburg said. “From the bottom of my heart I’d like to thank the Canadian audience and the

Canadians. You’re an amazing country.” Kaylyn Kyle entered in the 76th minute for her 100th appearance with the Canadian national team. (ap)
