Barcelona are poised to test Juventus with bids for Gianluigi Buffon and David Trezeguet, despite both the agents of both player stating that they are unlikely to move.

The Blaugrana have been planning their summer rebuilding plans for over three months and the Italian goalkeeper and the French striker have been on their shopping list since the beginning.

Last summer, when Samuel Eto'o appeared to be set to leave Camp Nou, coach Pep Guardiola told technical secretary Txiki Begiristain that Trezeguet was his number one choice as a replacement.

Now the Catalan outfit are planning to make their interest concrete with a bid that could see Juve have to weigh up whether they can afford to hold on to their stars, Il Corriere dello Sport states.

Victor Valdes' position at Barcelona is the same as Eto'o's, with both players due to have contract talks about new deals. Both are still uncertain whether they will be offered what they believe they are worth.

Several goalkeepers have been linked with Barca already this season, however, Buffon would be the number one choice and his agent, Silvano Martina, has admitted that should an offer be made it would have to be considered.

Eto'o claims to have made up his mind regarding whether he will stay or go this summer, with the options being to pen a new deal or be sold. If he decides to leave, Guardiola would prefer Trezeguet to the much-touted David Villa due to his greater physique.

Juventus are on the verge of concluding the deal to bring Werder Bremen ace Diego to Turin, according to reports.

Sportmediaset.it claims the Bianconeri are showing signs of urgency as they fight hard to push the deal through.

The report suggests Juve could have the Brazilian ace all wrapped up and in the bag by Easter as they attempt to secure his services for next season. The latest developments come just 24 hours after Diego's father Jair De Cunha claimed his son only wanted to move to Juventus.

With Diego in their pockets, voices from Turin also suggest there could be plans to bring in Valencia's David Silva. Recent speculation regarding Gianluigi Buffon leaving has been rife, and Sportmediaset have added to the confusion by claiming the club will sell their goalkeeper to fund a move for Silva.

Just last week Buffon's agent Silvano Martina said he would consider mega offers for his client. The Bianconeri are keen on strengthening. This season has not gone to plan, and directors at the club will be busy devising schemes for next term as they plan to spend wisely during the summer transfer market.

Oleh: Yanti Susanti* Dalam Laporan Kasus AIDS Depkes periode Oktober-Desember 2008 , Jawa Tengah menduduki peringkat 10 besar Propinsi di Indonesia dengan jumlah kasus AIDS sebanyak 530 kasus. 23,8% atau 126 dari jumlah tersebut ditemukan pada para pengguna Narkoba suntik (penasun). Peringkat 10 besar propinsi ini memang sudah cukup lama disandang Jawa Tengah. Bila kita perhatikan laporan Depkes tersebut lebih seksama, terlihat bahwa Kabupaten Banyumas ada di peringkat kedua setelah Kota Semarang dengan jumlah kasus AIDS masing-masing 64 dan 175 kasus. Mungkin Anda melihat jumlah 64 kasus itu sebagai jumlah yang tidak banyak, namun demikian jumlah tersebut boleh jadi jauh lebih sedikit dari jumlah kasus yang sebenarnya ada. Artinya masih banyak kasus yang belum terungkap atau terlaporkan. Bila kita bandingkan dengan laporan estimasi populasi dewasa rawan terinfeksi HIV tahun 2006 dari Depkes, di diperkirakan ada 400 ODHA (orang dengan HIV dan AIDS) di Banyumas. Salah satu hal yang menyebabkan jumlah kasus ini under reported adalah belum baiknya sistem pencatatan dan pelaporan kasus HIV dan AIDS di tingkat layanan kesehatan maupun sektor terkait. Banyak orang yang tahu status HIV-nya tidak mau melaporkan karena tinginya stigma dan diskriminasi, jumlah klinik VCT yang masih kurang sehingga menyebabkan kurangnya akses populasi berisiko pada klinik VCT atau cakupan program yang belum menjangkau populasi berisiko secara optimal. Estimasi Nasional Populasi dewasa rawan terinfeksi HIV yang dikeluarkan Depkes tahun 2006 menunjukkan bahwa di kabupaten ini populasi yang dominan tertular adalah pelanggan WPS (wanita pekerja seks) dengan jumlah 14,310 orang. Respon pencegahan dan penanggulangan HIV dan AIDS di daerah dikoordinasikan oleh Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS Propinsi dan Kab/Kota dengan dukungan penuh dari Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS Nasional. Peran dan fungsi KPA Propinsi dan Kabupaten sangat strategis untuk menggalang komitmen dari berbagai pihak. Komitmen pemerintah daerah perlu diperkuat dan sudah saatnya pemda melihat kondisi epidemi AIDS di wilayahnya secara serius dan melakukan berbagai langkah strategis untuk mencegah dan menanggulanginya. Kerjasama erat dengan semua mitra dan sektor terkait di daerah untuk harmonisasi implementasi program sangat perlu untuk dilakukan Jangan sampai lebih banyak lagi penduduk Banyumas yang tertular HIV karena biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk pengobatan dan perawatan orang dengan HIV AIDS (ODHA) akan jauh lebih besar dibandingkan biaya pencegahan penularan. Selain itu dampak HIV dan AIDS di segala bidang kehidupan di kemudian hari bisa lebih dahsyat bila tidak bertindak sekarang. *Staf Monioring dan Evaluasi Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS (KPA) Nasional, alumni Faperta UNSOED 2001, Pengurus SEF UNSOED 1996. *copas from : goleti.com

With the weekend’s matches still fresh, the national teams are once again ready to go to the field for another two exciting days including the 11 bianconeri called-up with their respective national teams.

Tonight Casiraghi’s complete Under 21 squad (the one which will be taking part in the European Cup in Sweden next June) will play in Holland . De Ceglie, who is nearing recovery from the injury, will be absent but Pierluigi Casiraghi can count on 3 other bianconeri. If Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco are a point of reference for the team, Lorenzo Ariaudo is in the shoes of the newcomer. After the great performance and the goal scored against Austria last Wednesday, the defender deserved the call-up. The friendly is scheduled for 20:45hrs (live on Rai Tre).

Tomorrow, Wednesday 1st April, it will be the turn of the senior squad. Much attention will be paid to the bianconeri derby which will take place in Bari. Marcello Lippi, Italy coach, will be playing against Giovanni Trappatoni the coach of Ireland assisted by two other symbolic names such as those of Marco Tardelli and Liam Brady. Amongst the possible protagonists are the 3 bianconeri called-up for Italy: Buffon, Chiellini and Iaquinta. In case of a victory, Italy would make a great step ahead towards qualification for South Africa 2010.

Reaching the World Cup is also the objective of Knezevic’s Croatia (playing against Andorra), Grygera’s Czech Republic (playing the derby against Slovakia) and Poulsen’s Denmark (playing against Albania).

The other two bianconeri Mellberg and Tiago will be involved in friendly matches. After having played against each other on Saturday, Sweden and Portugal will be playing against Serbia and South Africa (the hosts of the next world championship) respectively.

Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has scoffed at reports claiming Chelsea made a bid for David Trezeguet.

Reports in both England and Italy claimed Roman Abramovich approached the Bianconeri with an €8million offer for the French hitman. Gigli has reacted to the news, and his words seem to suggest the voices were considerably inaccurate.

"An offer from Chelsea for Trezeguet? I'm not aware of it," Gigli told Il Corriere Dello Sport.

The chief gave short and sharp answers as he attempted to dodge a flurry of questions from the hungry press gang who were waiting outside the Lega Calcio offices in Milan, where a presidents' meeting had taken place.

Buffon recently claimed that he would leave Juve if a big offer from abroad came along. Gigli tried to put the lid on the rumours which followed.

"I hope Buffon's saves will continue from now until the end of the season," added Gigli.

"He has a contract with us and he still has plenty to give to us. Buffon is right to talk about his future, but he will stay with us for a long time."

Chelsea could step in to lure Juventus striker David Trezeguet, according to Tuttosport. Trezeguet's future has been uncertain since he rowed with Coach Claudio Ranieri after exiting the Champions League. The French international was aggrieved at being replaced during the last 16 second leg against Chelsea. And it has been suggested in Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport that the Blues could pounce this summer. The West London outfit are reportedly considering a bid of around £8m for the unsettled star. Trez has made over 200 appearances for the Old Lady and is under contract until 2011. Juve are reportedly lining up Udinese ace Fabio Quagliarella as a replacement. channel4
