Nike reveals latest technologically-advanced ball for new football league season

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 07:43 AM PDT

July 02, 2013

Just as many football pros start pre-season training, Nike has unveiled the new ball that they'll be kicking around.

This season, England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, and the Brazilian league will all be playing with the new Nike Incyte Ball (pic), which the company claims is the most technologically advanced ball ever made for the world's most popular sport..

The ball is made up of five layers, which Nike says will aid in that all-important first touch, allowing an athlete to bring the ball under control quickly and easily. The freshly dubbed Nike RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology maximizes the ball's visibility, so players can spot the ball faster and therefore react to it more quickly, the company claims.

Plus the high-elasticity layer on the surface supposedly allows for a cleaner strike, while the "micro-textured casing" delivers a more accurate ball trajectory, Nike says.

Players begin kicking around the Nike Incyte ball in matches yesterday. The ball is available for purchase in Nike shops and online at nike.com priced at €130 (RM537).

Adidas recently unveiled its miCoach Smart Ball, a soccer ball that can measure the speed, spin, and trajectory of each strike while feeding that data to an iOS device via Bluetooth in real-time. Featuring built-in sensors that track the ball's movement, the Smart Ball will launch sometime next year. - AFP/Relaxnews, July 2, 2013.

Pierce Brosnan’s daughter dies of ovarian cancer

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 07:24 AM PDT

July 02, 2013

Irish actor Pierce Brosnan said today that his 41-year-old daughter Charlotte had died after a three year battle with ovarian cancer, the same disease that killed his first wife more than 20 years ago.

Brosnan, 60, who was the fifth actor to take on the role of the fictional British spy 007 in the James Bond movies, said his daughter died last Friday, leaving behind her husband and two children.

Charlotte's mother was Brosnan's first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris, who died from the same type of cancer at the age of 43 in 1991.

"Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl," Brosnan said in a statement.

"We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon."

Brosnan adopted Charlotte and her brother Christopher in the 1980s after their father died and they took his surname. He went on to have another son, Sean, with Harris.

Brosnan married Keely Shaye Smith in 2001 and the couple has two children.

Angelina Jolie revealed in May that she underwent a double mastectomy after discovering she carried a gene that increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, the same disease that killed her mother Marcheline Bertrand age 56. - Reuters, July 2, 2013.

Pharrell Williams sues will.i.am over ‘i am’

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 07:15 AM PDT

July 02, 2013

Music producer Pharrell Williams filed a lawsuit asking a U.S. court to rule he has not violated any trademark that Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am owns for the phrase "I AM."

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday, said that will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, has repeatedly sent letters to Williams demanding he stop using versions of the phrase "I AM" on a website founded by Williams, iamother.com

The website, according to the lawsuit, focuses on "encouraging individuality through different forms of expression."

Trademarks owned by Williams's company, I Am Other Entertainment, do not have periods between the "i" and the "am," while those owned by will.i.am do, the lawsuit said.

Further, the lawsuit claimed, will.i.am's trademark for "I AM" covers clothing and is "relatively weak" because similar trademarks already exist.

An attorney for will.i.am was not immediately available for comment.

The lawsuit asked the court to declare that the phrase "I Am Other" does not "infringe, dilute or unfairly compete" with will.i.am, said Brad Rose, counsel for Williams.

Williams is part of the musical duo The Neptunes and has collaborated with artists including Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Jay-Z.

The Black Eyed Peas have sold more than 31 million albums, according to will.i.am's website.

The case is I Am Other Entertainment, LLC v. William Adams, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 13-4547. - Reuters, July 2, 2013.

Kedudukan Saifuddin Nasution di pejabat MB Selangor masih kabur

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 02:43 AM PDT

OLEH HASBULLAH AWANG CHIK
July 02, 2013

Kedudukan Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail sebagai perhubungan politik menteri besar Selangor masih lagi kabur buat masa ini walaupun sebelum ini Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim dan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pernah mengumumkan pelantikan mengenai jawatan itu.

Ketua Umum PKR itu mengumumkan Saifuddin dilantik sebagai pegawai perhubungan politik kepada menteri besar Selangor sewaktu menggulung perbahasan Kongres Tahunan Nasional ke-9 PKR di Dewan Sivik MBPJ pada hujung Mei lalu.

"Pengesahan berkenaan perlu dijawab sendiri oleh Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim," kata Saifuddin apabila dihubungi oleh The Malaysian Insider hari ini.

"Jawatan jurucakap politik itu masih belum diwujudkan di negeri Selangor," tambah beliau.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi PKR Selangor Mohamed Azmin Ali pada awal bulan lalu mendedahkan ada di kalangan anggota PKR Selangor yang kurang senang dengan perlantikan Saifuddin ke jawatan berkenaan.

Azmin memberitahu pelantikan berkenaan seolah-olah meminggirkan pemimpin PKR Selangor yang lain.

Sinar Harian turut melaporkan ahli Parlimen Ampang Zuraida Kamarudin pada Jun lalu belum menerima maklumat rasmi berhubung pelantikan Saifudin ke jawatan tersebut.

Zuraida memberitahu PKR mengalu-alukan pelantikan tersebut jika benar ia dibuat demi kepentingan urusan pentadbiran kerajaan negeri.

Awal bulan lalu, Abdul Khalid memberitahu tugas Saifuddin di pejabat menteri besar Selangor akan diumumkan pada minggu berikutnya namun sehingga kini pelantikan berkenaan masih kabur.

Abdul Khalid membayangkan antara tugas jurucakap berkenaan adalah membantu penglibatan kerajaan negeri dalam pembangunan desa dan luar bandar.

Menteri besar itu turut memberitahu pelantikan Saifuddin bukan lagi ura-ura. Beliau bercakap selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Exco pertama kerajaan negeri selepas Pilihan Raya 2013 di bangunan Setiausaha Kerajaan negeri (SUK) di Shah Alam, Selangor pada Jun tahun ini.

Pada Pilihan Raya 2013, Saifuddin yang bertanding mewakili PKR untuk kerusi Parlimen Kulim-Bandar Baharu tewas kepada calon Barisan Nasional (BN) Datuk Abdul Aziz Sheikh Fadzir dengan majoriti 1,871 undi. - 2 Julai, 2013.

Pemberian kewarganegaraan di Sabah digantung hingga selesai RCI

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 01:51 AM PDT

July 02, 2013

Pemberian taraf kewarganegaraan di Sabah digantung dahulu hingga siasatan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) berkaitan isu pendatang asing tanpa izin di Sabah selesai, kata Timbalan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

Beliau memberitahu Dewan Rakyat hari ini bahawa permohonan dan pemberian taraf kewarganegaraan akan diteruskan sebaik sahaja siasatan RCI itu tamat.

Beliau juga memaklumkan bahawa pemberian taraf kewarganegaraan berjalan seperti biasa di Sarawak, antaranya melalui program 'outreach' bagi memastikan anak-anak tempatan dapat menikmati kemudahan pendidikan dan bantuan kerajaan.

"Saya berbincang dengan Ketua Menteri Sarawak bahawa kita tidak mahu masyarakat yang tidak berstatus warganegara, menjadi masyarakat yang terbuang dan tersisih di masa hadapan," katanya ketika menjawab soalan tambahan Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing (BN-Bintulu).

Tiong ingin tahu rancangan kementerian untuk menyelesaikan masalah permohonan taraf kewarganegaraan anak-anak Sabah dan Sarawak.

Wan Junaidi berkata kuasa khas di bawah undang-undang negeri akan diberikan kepada ketua kampung, ketua kaum dan kapitan Cina membantu Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara mengenalpasti status perkahwinan dan kewarganegaraan ibu bapa.

Beliau juga meminta wakil-wakil rakyat yang mempunyai masalah kewarganegaraan di kawasan masing-masing untuk membawa dokumen berkaitan dan berjumpa dengan beliau.

Menjawab soalan asal Tiong mengenai jumlah permohonan taraf kewarganegaraan yang telah diluluskan kerajaan di Bintulu, Sarawak sejak lima tahun lalu, Wan Junaidi berkata sebanyak 1,507 permohonan diluluskan.

Mengenai jumlah kes yang masih tertunggak, Wan Junaidi berkata: "Pada masa ini, tidak ada permohonan taraf kewarganegaraan Malaysia di bawah Perkara 15A Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang dikategorikan sebagai tertunggak."

Sehubungan itu, beliau berkata beban untuk membuktikan kelayakan untuk dianugerahkan taraf kewarganegaraan Malaysia adalah di bawah tanggungjawab pemohon. - Bernama, 2 Julai, 2013.
