Two local residents,Mangku Suitra and Luh Sariati,told Bali Post that the flooding ofthe lake's shore line began about10 days earlier when heavyrainfall covered the mountain-

lake district of Bali.Despite a pause in the rains, thelake's level continued to rise,eventually covering the shorelinehomes. Other local residentsblamed the unusual flooding on

The last time the lakeflooded was in 1972. Theflooding of the lakes follows aseries of years in which thewater level of the lake has beensteadily declining.

Authorities in charge ofthe protected jungle areas havetold the press they will allowthose who have built temporarysheds to remain on the forestedlands for a limited period.

Barbie and Ken, two half-century-old dolls marketed byMattel, split on Valentine's Day 2004after 43 years together. After the bigbreak-up, Barbie began ad a l l i a n c e w i t h a nAustralian surfer dude-dollcalled Blaine, while Kendumped his role asBarbie's eternal sidekickand "stepped out in a bigway", Mattel said on theFacebook page for the twodolls.

statement outliningsome of the "epicromantic gestures"Ken is making to winback his girl. One ofthose gestures is byprofessing his love forBarbie on billboards inNew York and LosAngeles, one of whichreads: "Barbie, wemay be plastic but ourlove is real."

In honour ofthis grand old love story, afamous New York bakery is

G'day again readers and welcome to another week at the KutaWeekly. We had a heap of feedback on a story that was run last week inthe paper about the amount of accidents on the roads here, and I cansay to the many of you that sent us emails or called asking if thestatistics are correct, that yes indeed they are. Many people come toBali and hire a bike then proceed to drink too much and ride like theyare in a grand prix race, belting down the bypass as fast as they can,weaving in and out of traffic like they have been riding a motorbike foryears when in fact they have only even ridden a push bike back home. I

think we have all seen the large crews of young tourist blokes riding in packs from pub to pub, some withthose damned surf board racks attached to their bikes, which I hate, and these guys just don't have anyregard for safety. Some of them choose to buy a cheap helmet that is about as useful as a bull with tits andwould be better used as a baseball cap, with others opting to not wear one at all. Mostly they don't wear anyprotective clothing while they race the streets and you all wonder with amazement at the amount of headinjuries there are on the busy streets of Bali.

I think the police do try to slow these guys down and do indeed stop anyone they see riding with nohelmet or without a shirt for that exact reason. They are aware of the statistics and are put on the street to tryto stop such things happening. The powers that be up here do actually try to make Bali a great place tospend a few weeks on holiday and not the nightmare that it would be should you crash your bike and end upwith severe head injuries. My advice, for the two fifths of nothing that its worth, is to use the roads verycarefully up here and respect the bitumen. Like the age old question goes “who is the biggest black killer inthe world to date? Any idea punters??? It's the road, so treat it with courtesy and ride as safely as you can.Insist on a decent helmet when you hire a bike and always wear a shirt at very least while riding.

Ok with that off my chest I will congratulate the Mighty Pies for their back to back wins last weekendand look forward to the start of the real footy season. Be sure to get into the “Kuta Townhouses” and

register for the annual footy tipping contest, as usual the after party Is the best part of it all, with the “KutaTownhouses” continuing to be the undisputed home A.F.L football in Bali. Why bother going anywhereelse?? They will be, as is usual, televising all games for the season live, and have the best staff for service,and some of the coldest little green bottles I've ever drank on the island not to mention the food menu. Iguess you have to ask yourself how a place can be 100% booked all year round. I think that says it all. Ibelieve Pete is running the tipping this year, throwing in a few more mystery rounds to keep us all guessingtill the end, and is in development of some bar snack for the punters during the games. Keep up the goodwork lads.

So there you have it, babble babble babble for another week, and it amazes me how quickly timefly's, up here. A smart man said to me just the other day “it's always the same, time and money both fly past”and from my point of view, aint that the truth. Stay safe folks, be happy, and enjoy your week. Until nexttime,ALIASJ………………….

approved bringing Sparky tothe school.

"She really thought it would bea great learning experience for thekids," Garrison's secretary BarbaraMcGrath said in an interview. Sparkycame from the South CentralCorrectional Center in Licking,Missouri, which has also offered Petie.Garrison is interested in taking in Petiebut only if she knows it can eventuallybe placed in a permanent home aftersome sign language training, McGrathsaid.

Sparky responds to handsignals to sit, heel, lie down, and stop

and is working on additionals i g n s t h a t m e a n " f o o d " o r

Points of contention haveemerged in recent discussionsover the expansion of Bali'sNgurah Rai International airportled by a deputy for the economyfrom the vice-president's office,Tirta Hidayat, and conducted atthe Badung Regency governmentoffice on Monday, February 7,2011.

T h e p r o b l e m o fexchanging space allocationsfrom the "old" airport to the "new"airport, once renovations arecompleted, revolve mainly aroundpoints of contention among the

different governmentagencies residing at the airport,such as the Immigration, and theC u s t o m s a n d E x c i s eDepartments. The immigrationdepartment is unable to reach anagreement on the size to beaccorded for their renovatedpremises. Immigration officials

have asked the a i rpor t ' smanagement, PT Angkasa Pura Ifor one-thousand square metersof office space, while the airportmanagers are only prepared togrant 600 square meters.

accommodate planned increasesin staffing levels for Customs andExcise operations. At the veryleast, Wijaya is seeking at leastthe same amount of space in therenovated fac i l i ty as h isdepartment currently enjoys.

The allocation of space atthe renovated airport has beenthe subject of repeated meetingbetween airport managers andthe government agenciesconcerned without a resolutionacceptable to all parties beingachieved. Tirta Hidayat of the

on senior officials from allconcerned parties to becomeinvolved in the discussion andresolve the problem to avoid anypotential delays to the airport'sexpansion plans.

After the February 7thmeeting recessed for lunch, TirtaHidayat and Badung's regent,

A.A. Gde Agung, assured thepress that a deal had beenworked out. Hidayat told thepress, "In the meeting 95% of theproblem was sorted out, theremaining 5% was completed atthe lunch table."

The expansion of theNgurah Rai International Airport isscheduled to begin in March2011. The project director, SriUnon Setyowati, has told thepress that the project will be donein four phases. The first phasebegins in March 2011 and willaddress access roads, temporary

Two robbers are on the run with 20,000Euros ($16,875) worth of rose-scentedstamps stolen from a stationery store innorthern Germany after their demand forcash was unsuccessful.

The two men entered the stationery storeon the main street in the village of Barsbuettelarmed with pistols and demanded money from thestore's 40-year-old owner, police spokeswomanSonja Kurz said on Friday.

But when the owner opened the store'ssafe, the thousands of aromatic stamps were theonly contents worth taking. The stamps have arose motif and an individual value of 55 cents,enough to mail a letter within Germany.

"Stamps like these can easily be sold forprices lower than their face value," Kurz said,adding that stolen stamps often appear on onlinemarketplaces like eBay. "They can also send a lotof love letters."

The Bali Zoning DebateBali Tries to Find a BalanceBetween Profit, Developmentand Cultural Preservation inDebating Island-Wide ZoningRegulation.

A leading Balinese voice onenvironmental and legal issues,Professor Sr. I.G.N. Wairocana,questions the sincerity of Balineseofficials efforts to save Bali's natural

environment. He sees the policiesimplemented by local office holders asmore concerned with their own narrowlocal and regional interests, rather thanwith the wider concern for saving Bali.

Quoted in Bali Post, Dr.Wairocana said: "Bali is very small. If allthe officials only prioritize the interest oftheir own districts without consideringthe interests of other districts, thenclearly Bali will become off-balance.This imbalance will mean there is nolonger a sense of pride that can bepresented to foreign tourists."

Wairocana, the dean of thelaw faculty at the Udayana University inBali, condemns the misguided thinkingof policy makers who favor only theirown home districts with little or noregard for the wider interests of Bali asa whole. Law no. 32 of 2004 on regionaladministration, he insists, is clear onthe respective powers held by regionaland provincial governments. Thatregulation stipulates that the regencies(kabupaten) do not enjoy an absoluteright to govern, requiring that theyalways coordinate their actions with theprovincial administration. "The law isclear: there is no power that standsalone," he explained.

Focusing on the efforts ofvarious regencies in Bali to give specialpermission for the construction of newhotels when, in fact, the area is already

adequately served by itsexisting hotels, Wairocana said there isa need for clearer thinking as towhether or not a new hotel or newattractions would better serve Bali bybeing located in another regency. Hecontinued, saying hotels should not beallowed to over-accumulate in Badung,the city of Denpasar and Gianyar, butshould be built in new areas such asJembrana, Buleleng, Tabanan, Bangli,Karangasem and Klungkung areasthat do not yet enjoy their fair share ofBali's tourism success.

The expert on law believes amore even distribution of tourismbusinesses across the island will bringthe added benefit of reducing the shareof hotel and restaurant taxes fromregencies located in the south of Balithat must be "shared" to the remainingregencies on the island.

When asked about how tohandle the existence of illegal orunlicensed hotels in some locations inBali, Wairocana said the first step is toexamine the state of the subject hotels'licenses and permits. If the licensesand permits are in order, then the hotels

in question are not in violation of thelaws. He explained that even if alicensed hotel is standing in a forbiddenarea under a new regulation, it cannothave its business disrupted becausenew laws cannot be brought to bear onactions that predate their introduction.

Badung Regency on theOpposition

Wairocana then shifted hiscomments to address the currentpolemic surrounding the issuance of aletter by Bali's governor demandingBadung strictly implement the 2009zoning law (RTRW). The Badung the

administration has respondedto the governor's command, criticizinga n d r e j e c t i n g t h e R T R W ' senforcement.

The governor 's wr i t teninstructions to the Badung regencycalls for the enforcement of the zoninglaw on at least 25 villas and hotelsstanding within a 5 kilometer radius ofthe Uluwatu sacred temple, includingtwo structures that are also in violationof set-back rules from the ocean's high-water mark.

In an official response from theBadung House of Representatives(DPRD-Badung), the regency's lawmakers have formally refused toimplement the controversial 2009zoning law. Complaining that the law isnot being applied in a comprehensiveand island-wide manner, they say thenew zoning law also fails to pay heed tothe specific needs and situation of theregency of Badung.

Similarly, the regent ofBadung, A. A. Gde Agung, has writtento the governor rejecting the order toimplement the 2009 zoning law, citingthe laws negative impact on the lives of

the people of his region.T h e B a d u n g r e g e n c yspokesman, Wayan Weda Dharmaja,told the press that the 2009 RTRWcannot be implemented as the processof synchronizing the regency's RTRWwith the provincial RTRW is stillunderway.

Of the 25 illegal villas andhotels surrounding Uluwatu temple inviolation of the 5 kilometer no-buildprovision of the 2009 zoning law, theBadung regency says only three of thestructures represent commercialinvestments. Moreover, the regencyinsists the three investments are legally

Love me, love my dog,say Britons

Britons are famously devoted to theirpets but a new survey ahead ofValentine's Day shows their furryfriends may be standing in the way oflove.

Eighty percent of dog owners forexample said they would not date someonewho didn't like their pet and nearly 20 percent ofthe 3,000 pet owners surveyed would ratherhave an animal companion than a relationship.

As many as 36 percent of all ownersstroked their furry friends more than theytouched their partners. And 12 percent felt thatowning their cat or dog was having a damagingeffect on their relationship. The poll was

conducted to mark next week's release of theBlu-ray and DVD of hit doggy film"Marmaduke.”

TAURUSYou're not being dishonest. Rather you're simplysidestepping certain potentially troublesome issues,knowing they'd only make already difficult situations morecontentious. These worries are unnecessary. But youwon't know that until you actually start talking things overwith others. Both their attitude and their open-mindednesswill be an unexpected but welcome surprise.

GEMINIDon't be surprised if, when you ask even simplequestions, you need to persist. The problem is that most ofthose around you are distracted by their own pursuits andwon't take you seriously. While this means working to getothers' attention, it also means they'll give you the rightinformation.

CANCERSometimes even very sensitive issues can be discussedeasily, and with little drama. Since that's unlikely to be thecase with one particularly tricky matter, you're urged toline up your facts now. While you may not need to cite anyof them, simply knowing they're there will strengthen your

resolve.

LEOThere's a difference between being honest and beingcompletely truthful. The latter means you'll say all youknow, which at the moment could complicate alreadytense matters. The real issue is that these aren't yours toresolve. Since that's the case, any advice could bemisunderstood. The less you say, the better.

VIRGOIt would seem that some time ago you made plans basedon the assumption that practical matters would remainmore or less unchanged. That was reasonable then. Now,with unexpected developments shaking things up, youmust accept the fact that you'll need to take even simpleplans back to the drawing board.

LIBRAJoy appears in many ways. And some of what's best isalso what's least expected. Bear this in mind whenunexpected twists and turns take over your plans, andinstead of battling them, you'll at least be receptive. Onceyou've seen what they bring your way, you'll be glad youwere.

SCORPIOJupiter's recent move to accent your daily routine orworking life is shaking things up. While initially thesechanges may seem no more than a nuisance, they'reactually only updating agreements so they'll work withchanges in the world around you. The sooner they'remade, the easier it will be for you.

SAGITTARIUSSome decisions are so clear-cut that there's little point indiscussing them with others. However, one or two aren't just perplexing, they're raising questions that have longbeen a source of conjecture for you. This will bechallenging. Still, what you learn in the process more than justifies the effort required.

CAPRICORNIf you've made plans but are now unhappy with elementsof arrangements, don't be shy about saying so. True,you've a certain pride in keeping your word. However, thisis an unsettled period, which means whatever you'veorganised is bound to go through several versions before

anything can be regarded as final.

AQUARIUSThere's a difference between straightforward facts andthe kind of information that will win others over to yourideas about the complex issues currently being debated.Reflect on what they've asked about in the past. Thenmake this your guideline as you're organising yourthoughts, and you'll know exactly what you need.

PISCESMake no excuses for what you think, feel or want. Whilethis variety of forthrightness comes naturally in manyareas of your life, in one or two you're amazingly timid.However, circumstances are now demanding more ofyou. Challenging as being this direct may be, it will makelife a lot easier.

New Nusa Dua Toll Way in Balito Sacrifice 2 Hectares ofProtected Mangrove Forests.

The proposed elevated tollway connecting Nusa Dua andBenoa will require the sacrifice oftwo hectares of protectedmangrove forests needed toconstruct access ramps at theNgurah Rai International Airport,Tuban and Nusa Dua.

The need to convert themangrove areas, seen byenvironmentalist as essential tothe maritime food-chain and

erosion prevention, wasrevealed in a presentation madeby the consortium of 5 state-owned companies backing theproject. Developers claim that95% of the structural work for thenew toll way will be over water, nutthe three critical access points willnecessitate the destruction ofmangrove forests. While the loss

of the natural habitat is regretted,Abdul Hadi, a director of PT JasaMarga and the spokesman for theconsortium, is seeking localgovernment and tourism industrysupport for plans to build the newhighway.

In addition to securing localgovernment easements from theprovincial zoning law, the projectdevelopers must also deal withissues of land acquisition, theconversion of a high voltage powerline to an underground cable andalterations to the Ngurah Raimemorial statue near the entrance

to the airport. There is alsothe potentially problematic issue ofa religious temple standing in anarea needed for an access rampthat must be resolved before theproject can move ahead.

According to Bali Post, onealternative under review is theconstruction of a roundaboutaccess ramp that will allow the

Ngurah Rai monument to remainintact.

The toll way project is alsoseeking an exception from the 2009Bali zoning law (RTRW) in order toproceed. The timing of theseexceptions from the zoning lawcome at problematic time when thegovernor is embroiled in a pitchedbattle with several regencies in Baliwho are seeking to have the RTRWset aside in favor of completeautonomy for each regency inestablishing their own zoningstandards and regulations.

A couple has a dog that snores.

Annoyed because she can't sleep,

The wife goes to the vet to see if he can

help.

The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon

around the dog's testicles,And he will stop

snoring. 'Yeah right!' she says.

The wife tosses and turns, unable to sleep.

Muttering to herself, She goes to the closet

and grabs a piece of red ribbon And ties itcarefully around the Dog's' testicles.

Sure enough, the dog stops snoring.

The woman is amazed. Later that night, her

husband returns home drunk from being out

drinking with his buddies.

He climbs into bed, falls asleep and

immediately begins snoring loudly.

The woman decides maybe the ribbon might

work on him.

So, she goes to the closet again, grabs a

piece of blue ribbon and ties it around her

husband's testicles. Amazingly, it also works

on him!The woman sleeps soundly. The husband

wakes from his drunken stupor

And stumbles into the bathroom. As he

stands in front of the toilet,He glances in

the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to

his privates.

He is very confused, And as he walks back

into the bedroom, He sees the red ribbon

attached to his dog's testicles.

He shakes his head and looks at the dog and

whispers,

'I don't know where we were or what we did,

But, by God we took FIRST and SECOND

place!

Surfing BaliBali is part of the Indonesian

archipelago of 18,700 islands andlies approximately 8°C south of theequator. The majority of thepopulation of Bali are (Balinese)Hindu, a unique mixture of

Hinduism & Buddhism. The uniquereligion and culture of the Balinesepeople is one of the reasons theisland remained an oasis of peaceand calm throughout the chaotictimes in Indonesia since the fall ofthe Suharto dictatorship in 1999and has helped sustain the spirit ofthe island during the last few yearsas Bali and the Balinese peoplehave suffered their own turbulenttimes of unbelievable sorrow andthe resulting economic hardships.

Bali is blessed by naturewith a short, hot wet season and alonger, cooler, dry season and

tourists flock here all year round.Many tourists choose to arrive in thedry season - which nowadaysappears to cover a longer periodfrom April to late November. Thebusiest period is during the holidayseason of August, which is also thecoolest month on this Island of theGods.

Contrary to popular belief,Bali's waves were being surfed byboth visiting and local surfers asearly as the late 1930s and not, aspopular surfing legend has it, thatthe island of Bali was firstdiscovered as a great surfingdestination by a group of Australiansurfers. Although, when these firstAustralian surfers began arriving onthe island of Bali in 1967 theyintroduced the island to the firstserious surfing equipment.

While Bali may no longer be

a "frontier" surf destination,it still lies at the heart of theIndonesian surfing experience andis a mandatory stopover foranyone on their first surfing trip toIndonesia. Bali is also the first and

last stop for most of the surferstraveling on to some of thelegendary breaks in G-Land,Lombok or Sumbawa, or the moredistant areas of East NusaTenggara, Mentawais and NorthSumatra.

B a l i h a straditionally been the starting pointfor nearly all Indonesian surfingtours. Bali boasts over 20 topquality breaks on the southwestand southeast coasts of the islandand around the Bukit (Uluwatu)Peninsula. Some of these, likePadang Padang & Uluwatu, are

world class barreling reef-breaks.Others range from fun waves onthe beach-breaks around Kuta andSanur to serious heavy, suckingwaves.

Having so many surfoptions available within such ashort distance to the Kuta andLegian beach area means thatafter your surf you can return to aplush hotel and enjoy a long, lazymeal, lounge by the pool, take anap in an air conditioned room andwatch satellite TV. Alternativelyyou can party at the discos eachnight, enjoy some of the local brew,all of which has definite appealafter spending one or two weekson a surf charter boat, or in a verybasic surf camp on Java orSumatra. The peak of the surfseason for Bali is April - Octoberwhen solid swells are produced by

on the reefs around Kuta,Uluwatu, and Nusa Dua. Unlikemost other areas of Indonesiawhere it is all heavy reef breaks,Bali also has a lot of beach-breaks on offer which are less

likely to cause a surfer of noviceor intermediate ability to getinjured as can happen on thelarger waves on the reef-breaks.

The surf in Bali isgenerally not huge, but mostoften in the 2-6 foot range(shoulder-high to doubleoverhead). Larger waves canoccur on some of the exposedreefs, but a mellower surf breakcan always be found in Bali byanyone who wishes to avoid life-threatening conditions. Bali hassurf breaks both the west-facingand east-facing coastlines and,

because of this an offshore windcan be found somewhere on theisland on any given day.Because of the number of surfbreaks and the quality andconsistency of the waves in Bali,it is still possible to find a manyplaces to surf with only a small tomoderate crowd.

The surf is always up onthe Island of the God's! andregardless of what country youhail from you will feel themystique of surfing Bali'sbeaches ...with so many exoticlocations available on the islandyou can choose from whitesands, black sands, amazingscenery, traditional fishermanand fishing villages which all addto the unique experience thatcomes with Surfing Bali.

West Coast coach J ohn Worsfold believeshis players will benefit from breaking theirlong losing streak after wins in b oth NABCup matches at Patersons Stadium lastnight.

As Worsfold challenged his charges tomaintain the standard this year, Fremantle coachMark Harvey says there is no cause for panicdespite his team losing to the 2010 woodenspooners and a vastly undermanned Hawthorn.

The Eagles advanced to the NAB Cupquarterfinals by beating Hawthorn 5.1 (31) to 4.5(29) and Fremantle 5.7 (37) to 4.1 (25).

Worsfold said the wins, the club's first sinceround 16 last year, were valuable to the group butthey needed to continue playing to a high standard.

"It's a young group which hasn't had a lot ofsuccess in recent years," Worsfold said.

"It's always nice to win. We achieved whatwe wanted to achieve out of the night and won bothgames so it was good.

"There's obviously quite a few guys thatdidn't play at all. A lot of those will be ready for a hit-out in a couple of weeks. (Mark) LeCras will be fit,(Luke) Shuey will be fit, Adam Selwood is right,Beau Waters maybe, (Patrick) McGinnity maybewill be right.

"It's always nice to have pressure for spots ifthe players who have got the spots are able toperform at the right level. I think we're seeing a lot ofour players, from our training and what we sawtonight, are stepping up. They've now got good

Young Eagles soar into NAB Cup quartersgames under their

belts and we expect them toperform at that leve lconsistently."

The Eagles will playthe winner of the pool whichcontains Sydney, the GoldCoast and Greater WesternSydney. The venue and date

is yet to be decided.

As th e T-Shirt says..boys,

HARDEN THE #### UP !!

Coll ingwood key forwardChris Dawes is grateful hehas experienced the AFL'scontroversial out of boundsrule for the first and last time.

Dawes joined the near-unanimous thumbs down verdictfor the NAB Cup experiment afterSaturday night's wins over

Richmond and Carlton at EtihadStadium.

The AFL is trialling the newout of bounds interpretation onlyfor round one of this year's pre-season competition.

Under the trial rule, thelast player who touches theball before it goes out ofbounds concedes a free kick,unless it happens in a contest.

R i c h m o n d c o a c hDamien Hardwick said he feltsorry for the boundary umpiresas they tried to adjudicate the

rule, saying it was sometimeslike “paper, scissors, rock” tosee which way it went.

There were severalunusual elements to Saturdaynight, including the three-teamformat and the video referralfor one of Dawes' four goals.

But it was the out ofbounds rule that caused the mostangst.

“The main concern for mewas that out of bounds rule, whichI never quite understood,” Dawessaid.

“It's too confusing for me,

I'm not quick enough to think myway through it.”Dawes also suffered a

corked leg muscle on Saturdaynight in a “friendly fire” collisionwith rookie team-mate JackPerham, but it appears to be aminor injury.

“I'm a little sore, I got alittle cork from it, but I will have aword to him and tell him to protectme next time, let me take themark,” Dawes joked.

“Maybe he was gunningfor my spot, he was trying to takeme out.”

A notable feature ofSaturday night for Collingwoodwas that assistant coach NathanBuckley was in charge, a yearbefore he takes over permanentlyfrom Mick Malthouse.

Buckley later said, onlyhalf-joking, that he felt like he wasdriving an expensive car while theowner was in the passenger'sseat.

“I suppose it was differentthat sort of thing, but as one of

in terms of his style inmeetings and that sort of thing,but as one of Mick's assistants,he's still coaching Mick's style ofgame,” Dawes said of Buckley.

“It's something Mick'sdone in all the years I 've been atthe club, in the pre-season, hedelegates to his assistants.”

One of the highlights ofthe two games was theencouraging form of experiencedrecruits Chris Tarrant and AndrewKrakouer.

Tar ran t is back a tCollingwood after four years atFremantle, where he switchedfrom a key forward to defence.

But Tarrant had a spell inattack on Saturday night andDawes said that might keephappening through this season.

“That's one of Taz's mainstrengths, he's a multi-positionalplayer,” Dawes said.

“To have someone whocan play at both ends of the

ground is going to be a realstrength and I definitely think we'llsee him up there for a bit thisyear.”

D a w e s a d d e d t h eMagpies did not appear to haveany major injury worries ahead oftheir cup quarter-final, with starssuch as Dane Swan, Alan Didakand Nick Maxwell sitting outround one.

Garuda's IPO Fails to Impress InvestorsPoor Response to GarudaIndonesia's IPO May LeavePlans to Settle Debt and FundNew Armada Underfunded.

World-wide promotion anda n e x te n s i ve a d ve r t i s i n gcampaign failed in the end toimpress investors purchasingshares during the launch of theinitial public offering (IPO) of thestate-owned national carrierGaruda Indonesia.

According to the JakartaGlobe, Garuda opening price fell23 percent to Rp. 580 (US$0.06)from its opening offered price ofRp. 750 per share. At the end ofthe first day of trading Garuda'sshare price stood at Rp. 620,down 17%.

The lackluster openingmust serve as something of anembarrassment for Indonesia'sMinister of State Enterprise,Mustafa Abubakar, who had

o v e r r i d d e n t h esuggestions from underwriters fora price range of Rp. 560 to Rp.

850, insisting that for "reasons ofnational pride" the airline's thevaluation should fall between Rp.750 to Rp.1,100.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y , t h eMinisters optimism was detachedfrom the currently bearish marketsentiment that had adverselyaffected other recent IPOs, poorfinancial results recently releasedfor the airline, and a comparativecase analysis which questions the

among a competitivecircle of regional airlines.

The Minister was quick todismiss the poor debut for theIPO, saying, "it's not unusual thatGaruda's shares would plungebecause the market is bearish."The Minister expressed hisconvic t ion tha t Garuda 'sperformance over the coming sixmonths would raise the sharevalue of the airline.

On a practical level, thetepid response to Garuda's IPOmay see the national carrier raisesomething less than US$540, afigure far short of the optimisticinitial projection of Rp. 10.3 trillion(US$1.14 billion) which wouldhave allowed Garuda to retire alarge part of its current debtburden and provide needed cashto fund the fleet expansionrequired to recommence fullEuropean and U.S. Services.

Rioli and Burgoyne wereboth outstanding, though, whileIsaac Smith, Ben Stratton,Matthew Suckling, Tom Schneider,Jordan Lisle, Jordan Williams andSam Menegola showed excitingsigns, delighting coach AlastairClarkson.

“It took us a little bit of timeto settle in that first game and WestCoast jumped us, but overall weare really pleased with the

outcome of the day. We broughtover a very young squad and knewand understood that coming intothe game,” Clarkson said.

“Both West Coast andFremantle used some seniorplayers in games against us andthat's just a great opportunity forour young blokes. They acquittedthemselves well in both games justfell short in the first and won thesecond against Freo. We're reallypleased with that.”

In the firstmatch, West Coastopened up a 23-

point advantageearly in the secondhalf, but then theHawks got going.Two goals to Lisleand one each toS ch n e id e r a n dMenegola broughtthem within threepoints, but missesto Brent Renoufand Brendan

Whitecross robbed them ofa win.

Burgoyne had 11 disposalswith Whitecross picking up 10 andRioli nine.

West Coast was muchcloser to full strength with thenotable absentees being DanielKerr, Adam Selwood, Mark LeCrasand Adam Selwood. Scott Selwoodand Brad Sheppard led the waywith 13 possessions each, with

Dean Cox doing well to have 12and 10 hit outs.In the second game,

Hawthorn booted the first fourgoals, including a super goal toSmith, against the Dockers to openup a 25-point advantage. WhileFremantle kicked three goals toone from there, the Hawks won by14.

Suckling led the way with12 disposals, Schneider had 11

eight touches acrosshalfback.

Sandilands and Pavlichdidn't play for the Dockersdespite sitting on the bench assubstitutes.

Mature-aged recruitTendai Mzungu was outstandingwith 14 possessions while GregBroughton, Zac Clarke and NickLower picked up 10 each.

West Coast coach John

Worsfold was delighted with whathe saw from his younger playersand feels it's important for them toagain taste the winning feelingafter the Eagles won just fourtimes in 2010.

“It's always nice to win.It's always important for a younggroup and a group that hasn't hada lot of success in recent years.We achieved what we wanted toachieve out of tonight and won

India have the biggestbatting names high up the order,with Virender Sehwag, SachinTendulkar, and Gautam Gambhirfilling the top three spots. Onprestige alone this should makethem favourites.

But Sehwag has never quitereplicated his Test form in theshorter game, and Tendulkar has

played a total of two ODIs since hisdouble-hundred a year ago. Allthree are also coming back fromminor injuries.

Down the order will beinteresting too if MS Dhoni iscapable of fireworks, Yusuf Pathanis a napalm truck parked in asteelworks while the driver has anice cigar. A couple of devastatingknocks against South Africa inrecent weeks show that he's in topform.

India's bowling is theirweaker suit Zaheer Khan andHarbhajan Singh are their onlyblue-chip options, while muchweight will be carried by supportingspinners Piyush Chawla and RAshwin. An out-of-form AshishNehra and the never-predictableSreesanth give the pace bowling anuncertain air.

Australia will price well withbookies due to their World Cuppedigree and recent 6-1 owning ofEngland, but the numbers aredeceptive. When England setseveral targets of around 300,Austral ia 's dubious bowlingdisplays were masked by greatchasing. When England were shotout for less, many of the wickets

came down to poor batting overanything else.

Confused selection policiesmean that Australia has arrived withan unbalanced side, and it's hard tobelieve the players aren't unsure oftheir roles and futures. Not long agoNathan Bracken was the world'sNo. 1 ODI bowler; one injury later hewas a forgotten man. James Hopesseemed indispensable, now he'svanished without a trace.

T h e p r o b l e m f o rAustralia is the lack of a holdingbowler. Brett Lee, MitchellJohnson, Doug Bollinger andShaun Tait are all about attack,and all liable to be expensive.

Picking a pace battery onsubcontinental decks was adubious choice to begin with, buteven more so when there's no-

one in the Bracken mould to tieup the other end.Nathan Hauritz would

have had that role, but his injuryhas seen him replaced by JasonKrezja, an attacking andpotentially expensive spinner.With only part-time support toback him up in the form of SteveSmith, David Hussey andpossibly Cameron White, thelack of spin options will severelyhurt Australia.

Which brings us to thefinal team in the equation. SriLanka does not quite boast thelist of stars that other nationshave. And yet their current teamis potent, settled, and movinglike clockwork. Perhaps in thiscase, the absence of starwattage helps everyone keepthe glare out of their eyes.

Kumar Sangakkara andMahela Jayawardene are theteam's A-grade batsmen, bothwith that rare ability to scoreq u i ck l y a n d a p p a r e n t l yeffortlessly using classicalcr icket technique. Thi lanSamaraweera provides stability,Tillakaratne Dilshan providesmuscle and improvisation.

Down the order, AngeloMatthews fills a critical role asthe late-innings finisher. As hisastonishing innings to snatchvictory in Melbourne lastNovember proved, he's made forthe role. His preternaturally coolhead in such circumstances is areflection of Sangakkara'sleadership, which combinesenergy and purpose with dignityand gravitas. It would be hard to

succumb to panic with theSri Lankan skipper at the helm.

Sri Lanka also have thebest one-day bowler in the world inLasith Malinga, a man who holdsup scoring while always remainingan attacking threat. Batsmen stillstruggle to counter his peculiarslinging action, and his ability to hitpinpoint yorkers with such a round-

arm technique is astonishing.Nuwan Kulasekera andThisara Perera are two less-heralded but extremely usefulseam bowling options. To followthem comes Muttiah Muralitharan,the most experienced ODI bowlerin the world, in his farewell tointernational cricket, and hisunderstudy, Ajantha Mendis.

With a number of part-timespin options to complement them,it's a varied attack well suited tosubcontinental conditions.

More than the calibre ofplayer, though, is the feeling ofpurpose and unity about this team.You sense they have been buildingtowards this for the past couple ofyears. The fact that they came toAustralia this summer and won instraight sets was no accident. Byall appearances, the Sri Lankansare settled, confident, sure of theirroles, and playing for each other.

Sentiment and personalpolitics were not allowed to play apart, proved when old favouritesSanath Jayasuriya and ChamindaVaas were left out of the finalsquad. Therein was a veryrevealing development. No morereactionary decisions. No more

sentiment over intellect.Instead, there was a single

mission, easily apparent to winthis World Cup, and let nothing getin the way. So to go out on a limb,I'm tipping the blue and gold lionsto do just that, over South Africa,India, and Australia. Now we justhave to find out what Flava Flavthinks.

The talk of the footy worldthis week has been on theG W S G i a n t s a n d t h euncontracted players theyhave targeted, or if youb e l i e v e t h e r u m o u r spossibly already signed.First, the speculation was on

Melbourne young gun TomScully.Then, not for the first time,

the Collingwood trio of Dane Swan,Scott Pendlebury and DaleThomas had their names thrownabout.

Just when you'd forgottenall about the Gary Ablett “will-hewon't-he” saga, it all starts again.

On Scully, the rumour wasthat he'd already agreed to a multi-million dollar deal with GWS.(Curiously, the rumour was startedby none other than Collingwoodpresident Eddie McGuire. Readinto that what you will.)

If true, though, it would be afantastic coup for the AFL's 18thclub and a cruel blow for the AFL'soldest club.

Right now, all signs point tohim leaving: He's delayed contracttalks to the end of the year. Fellowrising star Jack Trengove, draftedone pick later than Scully, is alreadycontracted for 2012. Almost all ofthe players strongly linked to theGold Coast Suns last year endedup leaving.

The denials from Dean

Ba i ley and Scu l ly 'smanagement are enough to throwsome doubt over a movehappening, but it has to be said themore likely outcome is thatScully's gone.

Losing a recent numberone draft pick who was last yearrunner-up in the rising star awardwould be devastating. Gaininghim would be a dream come truefor any club in the league, let aloneone that currently has norecognised AFL-level talent on itslist.

Having said that, GWS willneed a bigger name than Scully.

While the second-yearDemon is one of the best youngtalents in the AFL, and could quitepossibly become one of thegame's best players in years tocome, he's not yet an elite playeror even an “established” player. Inother words, he's no Gary Ablett.

And that's where Swan,

Pendlebury and Thomas come in.Kevin Sheedy has vowedto sign up one of the three the newc l u b c a n o n l y n a b o n euncontracted player from eachclub and it seems a real possibilityhe will.

Swan is the best player inthe competition out of contract atthe end of 2011, with the onlypotential issue being his age. He isturning 27 this month, meaning ifhe joins GWS he'll be in his thirtiesby his third season at the club,something that mightn't be so

Pendlebury isn't far behindSwan and has age on his side,having just turned 23. He would be agreat leader of the Giants' midfield.Thomas, meanwhile, is the mostmarketable of the trio and his quality2010 season, including monsterperformances in both grand finals,saw his stocks rise significantly.The

appeal to GWS is obvious, but wecan all safely assume Eddie won'tgive up one of his stars without afight. So do Collingwood fans haveanything to worry about?

Recent history says yes.Sheedy seems pretty adamant he'llget one of the Pies he's after, and theGold Coast example last year showsthat is definitely something to worryabout.

Only two of the uncontractedplayers targeted by the Suns endedup re-signing at their original clubs(Kurt Tippett and Matthew Pavlich,for those wondering). The rest allsigned on with the new club.

It's hard to see things beingdrastically different with GWS. AsMike Sheahan noted in the HeraldSun yesterday, the club's footballoperations boss is Graeme Allanthe same man who enticed NathanBuckley away from the BrisbaneLions after just one season all thoseyears ago.

No matter what the finaloutcome, it's fair to say we'll behearing plenty more about Scully,Swan, Pendlebury and Thomas asthe year goes on. And for those whoquickly grew tired of the samespeculation with the Suns last year, itgets worse.

GWS have 14 other clubsthey can secure uncontractedplayers from, so there will be quite afew other names thrown up as theyear goes on too. In fact, it'll continueall the way into next year the Giants,unlike the Suns, have two years tochase players from other clubs.

You better get used to theheadlines you saw this week.There's plenty more to come.

GWS speculation has only jus t begun

Australian cricket captainSteve Waugh (left), and Vic eCaptain Shane Warne (righ t)d isplay the World CupCricket trophy. Australia's 1Day Cricket World Cupwinning team drove in amotorcade down Sydney's

main street to celebrate in aticket tape parade with over1 0 0 , 0 0 0 w e l l w i s h e r sattending.

The art of prophecy, for allits temptations, offers little but thechance to embarrass oneself in thenear future. And yet, like appearingin Flava Flav reality TV shows, orgoing to Texan pubs to ride themechanical bull, people keep liningup for their turn at indignity.

With the start of the WorldCup only days away, let's see howthe main contenders' chances lookfrom here.

The ICC has gone to some

lengths to ensure that, barringmiracles, the non-Test-playingnations won't pass the group stageat the expense of more credible andlucrative rivals. Of the ten teamswho remain, six don't make thefrontrunners group.

New Zealand have been infreefall recently, with whitewashesagainst Bangladesh and India insubccontinental conditions.

West Indies could spring asurprise if their big hitters click, butt h e i r b o w l i n g l a cks b i t e .Bangladesh are on the rise, but

their history of nervyperformances in big tournaments isagainst them.

Z i m b a b w e , o n t h ecomeback trail, will be morerealistically at the level of theirAssociate competitors. England,while remaining in many pundits'reckoning, are battling exhaustionat the end of a gruelling southern

summer, and have too many troopsin triage.

Clin ical f in isher EoinMogan was their most importantplayer when he was ruled out,England's chances dropped fromview.

Pakistan are the mostdangerous team outside the topfour, on the back of recent goodform in New Zealand. Veterans likeShahid Afridi, Misbah-ul-Haq, andShoaib Akthar look hungry. Thetorrid last twelve months will be aspur. “I want people to realize,” saidShoaib recently, “that still, veryhonourable people play for our

country.”Despite missing their main

pace bowlers, Shoaib's partnershipwith Wahab Riaz and Umar Gullooks potent. Abdur Rehman andSaeed Ajmal form a knowledgeablespin pair.

Abdul Razzaq showed hisincredible late-innings power duringthe recent South African series inthe Middle East, while Umar Akmalis also explosive. Younis Khan, theteam's class act, played himselfback into form in New Zealand.

Still, all of these factors

to carry Pakistan home.Their ground fielding and catchingis among the worst at thetournament, and this could well bethe difference. It would be a victoryfor the romantics and thescriptwriters if Pakistan were to getup.

Of the four likeliest teams,the recent insistence of South

African players that they are notchokers seems to indicate thatthey're worried about chokinghardly a good sign.

Colin Ingram has onlyplayed 11 ODIs. JP Duminy cameback to earth after a Mike Husseystart to his career. AB de Villiersinsists he's happy to keep wicket,but looks uncomfortable, and hisbatting has dipped accordingly.Keeping to spinners on turningtracks, a couple of de Villiersmistakes could prove crucial.

Dale Steyn and MorneMorkel are the best new-ball pair inthe world, but the support act of

Wayne Parnell and LonwaboTsotsobe is a few rungs down fromthat. In terms of spin, Johan Bothais a canny operator, though morestrangler than striker. 31-year-oldPakistan-born leggie Imran Tahirprovides the romance.

Much will depend on thebatting of Graeme Smith, HashimAmla, and Jacques Kallis at one,two, and three. If they flower, theycan carry the batting with them. Ifthey fall, so do the Proteas.

James Courtney wins V8 thriller in Abu Dhabi

What a difference a daymakes. Just 24 hours afteropening his V8 Supercart i t le defence wi th anunadulterated horror showon the Yas Marina circ uit inA b u D h a b i , J a m e sCourtney put together oneof the drives of his life tosecure a thrilling race win.

Courtney, who enteredth e r a ce o n m in u s 2 3

championship points afterreceiving a 50-point penaltyduring his 26th-place finish inFr iday 's season-open ing200km race, came out on top ofa wheel-to-wheel battle withHolden's Jason Bright onSaturday night (Sunday AMAEDT).

Having started fifth,Courtney gambled on drivingmore than half the 43 laps onone tank of fuel after a safety cargave him the race lead.

Despite being passedby Bright in the closing laps, the

30-year-old fought back tosecure his first win as a HoldenRacing Team driver.

“I'd say that's probablythe best one,” Courtney said ofthe victory, his ninth as a V8Supercar driver.

“Especially after all thestuff over the off-season. Afterall the hype and build-up andthen after yesterday to comeback and do it, it's a credit to the

team and Scotty(Sinclair) my engineerand everyone reallypulling together to do my job, having belief in eachother.

“I think it's thefirst of many, definitely.”

Bright, whose

own Commodore ranout of fuel on the wayback to pits following ther a c e , w a s n ' t t o o

disappointed to miss out onhis first race win in six yearsafter being a part of such athrilling race to the line.

“It was a great battle,”the Team BOC driver said.

“We both spent a bit oftime off the track and back on.It was something I reallyenjoyed.

“I don' t th ink wetouched once out of the whole

lot but there was certainlyplenty going on in eachcockpit I'd say.”

The drama beganimmediately with GarthTander, Tim Slade and TonyD'Alberto all retiring after amulti-car incident on theopening lap.

Po le-s i t te r JamieWhincup emerged from thesafety car restart and achallenge by Ford duo StevenJ o h n s o n a n d M a r kWinterbottom to regain thelead as he tried to extend hiswinning streak in overseas V8races to 13.

But both he andWinterbottom pitted during asecond safety car sparkedw h e n C r a i g L o w n d e scollected Russell Ingall andended the Supercheap Autoracer's day.

That set the stage forCourtney and Bright's epictussle and, in the end, y to take

17 feb - 23 feb 2011 (221 )

Whincup was happy to takeFriday's race win and a third placeback to Australia.

“There was plenty going on,that's for sure,” he said.

“So easy to fold a guard on thetyre and race over.

“So to get through all thatcarnage, good racing and still get on

the podium that's a good result for us.”The next event in the V8

Supercars championship is the Clipsal500 in Adelaide from March 17-20.

Perched on the shoulders ofCraig McDermott and DeanJones, a beaming AllanBorder thrust the 1987World Cup aloft into thetwili ght at Eden Gardens.

There was no morestriking image for Australiancricket in the largely dreary

1980s.Border's brow had been

deeply furrowed for most of theprevious three years as he led ateam emasculated by retirementsand rebel defections, but in thismoment he looked young again.

His youthful team hadcarried all before them in atournament where they stared

down and defeatedfavourites India in the groupphase, co-hosts Pakistan in thesemi-finals then nemesesEngland by seven runs in anengrossing final.

Having lost the Ashes sowretchedly at home to MikeGatting's men only a handful of

months before, Border's sideturned the corner in India.They did it not with a team

of enormous talent thoughseveral squad members would goon to great things but with themost united group on thesubcontinent.

At a time when cricketerswere still semi-professional in

their attitudes and their paypackets, Border and coachBob Simpson charted aspartan preparation.

Th e A u s t r a l i a n sarrived early, trained hard,and placed great emphasison fielding and hard runningbetween the wickets.

Every ounce of abilitywas capitalised upon, and nocorners were cut in terms ofplanning.

Australia's methodsfavoured batting first anddefending a target, anapproach that would becomewidely preferred by all teamsacross the tournament andthe world over the nextdecade.

S a v e f o r t h eminnows Zimbabwe, the rest

of the world seemed notquite so focused and drilled,though some fine cricket wasplayed across the course ofthe event's brisk 27 matches.

As chronicled by theWisden Almanack, Borderand his team were given af a i r r e t u r n f o r t h e i ri n ve s tme n t o f swe a t ,including the good fortune to

87 World Cup was claimed out of the Ashes“Luck aside, they were still

the team most deserving ofvictory: they appeared to put themost into the tournament thesweat was dripping from thepeaks of the batsmen's capswhen they warmed up in Madrasand they gained their first successof note since 1984,” wrote Scyld

Berry in his summary.“The Australians had thesame keen, uncynical spirit as theZimbabweans. They worked andworked as a team; and everyfollower of the game had to bepleased in some measure when,at the end of the Australians'victory lap around Eden Gardens,Allan Border was raised on theshoulders of his team-mates andthe gold Reliance Cup placed inhis hands.”

Border's victory did not just give the appearance ofshaving years off his features: itarguably lengthened his career.

Previously employedalmost exclusively to savematches while his team collapsedaround him, Border was now ableto lead an ensemble that believedin themselves.

With occasional hiccupsoverseas and against the WestIndies, the Australians wouldclimb surely and inexorablytowards the summit, eventuallyclaiming global supremacy in1995.

The 1987 Cup served as aclear starting point to that rise,and 24 years on provides a

heartening lesson for RickyPonting's battling current team asthey tackle the 2011 event.As Border proved, even the

ignominy of a home Ashes

defeat can lead to better days,

and Ponting will hope for a

similar renaissance over the next

two months.
