Kuta is nestled between Jl. Bakungsari to the south and Jl. Melasti to the north. Kuta is the best known of all the villages in Bali, often maligned, Jl.

Footpaths didn't exist, open drains ran down the side of unmade roads. Shopping was sarongs and T-shirts and hawkers who sold just about anything. Times have changed and Kuta has grown up, gone are the unmade roads and open drains. Footpaths, although narrow, run both sides of the main streets. The hawkers are still there - part of the character of the place. Sarongs and T-shirts are still sold but now there are CD shops, boutiques, small trendy bars and restaurants and even Department Stores. Kuta boasts the world's first "themed" Hard Rock Hotel. Imagine going into a huge one level shopping centre that would take about 45 minutes to walk from one end to the other with small RV-1230 walkways branching off in every direction, now add cars, motorbikes and the odd temple ceremony.

JIMBARAN
Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. There is however little in the way of budget accommodation and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row". The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset. Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari Segara Resort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe. Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has the advantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

(Because of this) comprehensive measures, such as indefinite imprisonment, must be devised and appreciated. Bali's governor see terrorism as an example of transnational crime that knows no borders, can strike with little warning anywhere in the world, and by no means limited in locale to only Indonesia. There systems are so sophisticated. Because of this, the approach to controlling terrorism must be comprehensive, beginning from steps that are pre emptive, preventive and rehabilitative. Who will guarantee that that after they (the terrorists) are released (from prison) that they won't become terrorists again? he asked. The former head of the Bali police force and the man credited with bringing the Bali bombers to justice compares terrorism to an iceberg, with only a small portion visible to the naked eye. The unseen portion is comprised of poverty, injustice, discrimination and false teachings. Pastika said that until we address all components of the terrorism issue there will always exist the possibility for future terrorist incidents. He also warned that no matter how sophisticated the security system put in place to prevent terrorism, there is always the possibility that terrorists will evade detection. Adding, In the effort to welcome mass tourism, there will certainly be terrorists who manage to conceal themselves.

A top neurosurgeon claims to have proof of heaven after making a full recovery from a seven day coma that saw his neocortex inactivated.
Dr Eben Alexander, who teaches neuroscience at Harvard University among others, fell seriously ill after contracting a rare form of bacterial meningitis in 2008. Within hours of developing a severe headache, Dr Alexander's entire cortex, the section of the brain that controls thought and emotion, had shut down. Though his chances of survival were low, he awoke from the coma seven days later and began describing an "other worldly experience". "I was in a place of clouds. Big, puffy, pink white ones that showed up sharply against the deep blue black sky," he wrote in an article. He also goes on to describe "flocks of transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer like lines behind them". While Dr Alexander admits his scientific expertise has made him sceptical of afterlife experiences, he claims the loss of function to his cortex makes his experiences unique. "I'm not the first person to have discovered evidence that consciousness exists beyond the body," he said. "I know full well how extraordinary, how frankly unbelievable, all this sounds." "But as far as I know, no one before me has ever travelled to this dimension while their cortex was completely shut down, and while their body was under minute medical observation, as mine was for the full seven days of my coma." Dr Alexander admits many still struggle to accept his

Dear Martha, Married (won't say happily though) kids, work, family, sport, activities, all the usual traits that keep you busy and leave little to no time together for us-time and now find that the spark is well and truly gone. Sex is no longer fun (or even offered other than rarely) and we are just going through the motions. So call me unhappily married. There is another side to me that nobody knows about - picking up women online, random hook-ups, voyeurism, the riskier the situation and of getting caught the more exciting I find it. During work hours when I can sneak out of the office for a so-called meeting or a late night liaison on the way home from a few beers with mates at the pub, I get into these situations whenever I can. I have been doing it for years and when I think about it - I want to do it more. I know that eventually it will all come back to get me, and I will get caught out and will lead to the end of our marriage and this will shatter my world. I would love to stop and try to work on my marriage but the feeling I get when participating in these risky activities is so exciting and thrilling I am finding I am doing it more and it is becoming all-consuming. I know it is wrong but what do I do? Harry
Dear Harry, You are clearly not personally satisfied, not just with sex, but with the relationship. What risk taking does is give them back an element of control over people's lives. So while you feel powerless to change the course of your average life and your average marriage, you feel exhilarated and alive during your risky sexual encounters - but also, more importantly, in control. If you feel bound in your life and unable to contemplate leaving or changing it, then this is not only a rebellion, it is your way of saying I am important, and 'up yours' to the universe and fate. Risk-taking behavior is simply about getting the juices running. It's quite common among people with less emotional and less volatile personalities. For those people it can take a real jolt to get their feelings working strenuously. People involved in these activities usually also have less respect for authority than others and overall a more negative or pessimistic outlook on society. So it's a bit of an 'up yours' to authority too. I suspect deep down a part of you doesn't give a shit about hurting anyone and that will not be what eventually makes you want to change. What might make you change in the end is the dawning reality that the freedom you feel during those activities is an illusion. For you there is no measurable gain, just a lot of potential for damage.

Questions Emerge Over Wisdom and Viability of Proposed Golf Course at Mount Batur, Bali
A plan put forward by Indonesia's Minister of Natural Resource and Energy, Jero Wacik, to build a championship golf course on the foothills of Mount Batur on the western escarpment of the volcano, is getting a lukewarm response from many parties in Kintamani. The proposal to build a golf course at Kintamani has been made several times in the past, failing on each occasion to garner popular support. Those who question

Bali Post on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, the proposal to build a golf course in his home district is nothing new. He said it remains to be seen whether or not there is an investor prepared to invest the substantial amount required to develop a golf course. He also said that any plans for a golf course automatically entails the need for supporting services and infrastructure. Gunawan also questions the economic benefit of the proposed golf course to the people of the region, saying the amount of jobs created by a golf course is fairly limited. www.balidiscovery.com
Wacik's proposal insist a welldeveloped study that examines the economic and environmental implications of the proposed golf course is needed. A member of the Bali provincial House of Representatives (DPRD-Bali) from Batur, Drs. I Wayan Gunawan, told

A cocktail maker claims he has set a new record for the most expensive cocktail in the world.
Salvatore Calabrese says Salvatore's Legacy, made using ingredients dating back to before American independence and the French Revolution, will set you back a cool $8,500 per glass. Guinness World Records said it is investigating the claim, which would topple its current record holder, a cocktail costing $5,800 that is served in a Dubai hotel. The attempt was made at Salvatore's, Mr Calabrese's bar at the Playboy Club London, in Mayfair, central London. The cocktail uses four ingredients: a 1778 Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac, a 1770 Kummel liqueur, a circa 1860 Dubb Orange Curacao and two

Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner has become the first man to break the sound barrier in a 38.6-kilometre freefall from the edge of space.
The 43-year-old leapt from a capsule more than 39km above the earth, reaching a top speed of 1342km/h, or 1.24 times the speed of sound, according to organisers. No one has ever reached that speed wearing only a high tech suit. The altitude he leaped from also marked the highest ever for a skydiver more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for a jetliner. Organisers said the descent lasted just over nine minutes, about half of it in freefall. He travelled 36,529m in freefall for four minutes and 20 seconds before opening his red and white parachute and floating down to the desert in New Mexico, said Red Bull Stratos mission record keeper Brian Utley. Mission control erupted in cheers as Baumgartner sprung from the capsule hoisted aloft by a giant helium filled balloon to an altitude of 39,044m, even higher than expected. "I think 20 tons have fallen from my shoulders. I prepared for this for seven years," he said in Austria in his first interview after the leap. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing, setting off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the mission's control centre in Roswell, New Mexico. "When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records any more, you do not think about gaining scientific data," he said. "The only thing you want is to come back alive." Baumgartner says that travelling faster than sound is "hard to describe because you don't feel it". With no reference points, "you don't know how fast you travel", "Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are," he said. Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as "Fearless Felix", had taken off in a pressurised

G-force and made him lose consciousness. A controlled dive from the capsule was essential, putting him in a head down position to increase speed. As things transpired millions of transfixed viewers around the world looked on in agony as the Austrian started tumbling chaotically for what seemed like an eternity before finally achieving the right position. He activated his parachute as he neared earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying. C o i n c i d e n t a l l y, Baumgartner's attempted feat also marked the 65th anniversary of US test pilot Chuck Yeager's successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard a plane. At Baumgartner's insistence, some 30 cameras on the capsule, the ground and a helicopter recorded the event. While it had been pegged as a live broadcast, organisers said was actually under a 20 second delay in case of a tragic accident. Baumgartner's team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 31.4km up in 1960, reaching a speed of 988km/h, just under the sound barrier. As Baumgartner ascended in the balloon, so did the number of viewers watching on YouTube. Nearly 7.3 million watched as he sat on the edge of the capsule moments before jumping. After he landed, Red Bull posted a picture of Baumgartner on his knees on the ground to Facebook, generating nearly 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.
Independent 72 images revealed through the data analysis and 71 portray Bronze Age axe-heads while one portrayed a Bronze Age dagger. The discovery has led the scientists to believe the monument was designed as
Shortly before jumping, in footage beamed live around the world on a crackly radio link recalling Neil Armstrong's first words on the moon he had said: "Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are." As he left his capsule from high above earth, he flashed a thumbs up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown on a live stream on the internet with a 20 second delay. Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurised suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus 57 degrees Celsius. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids. The biggest risk Baumgartner faced was spinning out of control, which could have exerted excessive

Newcastle Knights coach Wayne Bennett and former star halfback, Andrew Johns have been inducted in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
Bennett and Johns were honoured for their achievements at a ceremony in Melbourne overnight along with six other sporting greats, including champion cyclist Kathy Watt, and cricketer Adam Gilchrist. Olympic champion Sally Pearson was named the most inspirational sporting figure, taking out the Don Award. Bennett, who has seven NRL premierships to his name, says he is humbled by the honour. "When I got the phone call I was sitting at home, it was the last thing on my mind that I would get such a phone call," he said.

Johns says the induction is an honour just two weeks after he was named rugby league's 8th immortal. "You don't set out to achieve those sort of things," he said. "In our game it doesn't get any higher than the immortals, but this is very special because it's picked independent from rugby league people, it's sporting people. "So it's very humbling for myself but also my family." Johns' admissions about recreational drug use during his career had some people criticising his selection as the 8th immortal. He says he is not concerned if his latest honour also receives a similar response. "I've got thick skin," he said. I just got back from Fiji and it's nice and tanned so it will just bounce off."

"I got goose-bumps as they were explaining to me what it meant and what it was. "Having been part of a team all my life and loved being part of a team it just feels a bit weird you get singled out because I've always been happy in a team." Johns played 249 NRL games, 23 games for NSW and 21 tests for Australia. He also won two premierships with the Knights and was awarded the Dally M medal three times.

Brazilian Felipe Massa continued his late season resurgence with fourth for Ferrari. Kimi Raikkonen chalked up his 13th successive points finish with fifth in the race for Lotus to consolidate third place overall and stay in the reckoning. McLaren's Jenson Button was an early casualty, his race ending on the first lap when Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi sideswiped his car and smashed the front right suspension as well as puncturing the tyre.

Germany's Nico Hulkenberg was sixth for Force India with Frenchman Romain Grosjean, steering well clear of trouble after a spate of first lap smashes, seventh for Lotus. Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne was eighth for Toro Rosso, with Australian team-mate Daniel Ricciardo ninth. Hamilton, who had a ripped off strip of astroturf trailing from a sidepod in the closing laps, just kept off Sauber's Mexican Sergio Perez - the man who replaces him at McLaren next season - for 10th place after starting third.

"There was one moment I could get right with a right-hand corner so I could pass him and finally I tried to pull some good laps. "I suffered quite a lot of chattering during the race but I could manage." Lorenzo said he tried and failed to open a gap in the race. "Dani came and he was accelerating and there was much difference on the straights," he said. "I tried my maximum but I couldn't follow him."

"We started well against India and we are wanting to build on that," Clarke said. "It is a really exciting time for this young side."

"England is always a tough series over there, the Ashes away and the Ashes at home, a very exciting 15 months. South Africa are as good a team as there is in the world. They are not only strong with the ball but they have a lot of batting. It is really important for us to stay focused on them and not to look too far forward."
Adelaide will play Essendon at Football Park to start the 2013 AFL season, with the opening round to be split over two weekends.
