First Conan Doyle novel to be published Posted: 07 Jun 2011 07:00 AM PDT File photo of a life-size bronze figure of Sherlock Holmes in the main square in the town of Meiringen, some 100km from the Swiss capital Bern. Meiringen was the location of 'The Adventure of the Final Problem' in which, writing in 1893, Conan Doyle killed the detective off — only to be forced by public pressure to resurrect him 10 years later. — Reuters pic LONDON, June 7 — Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle's debut novel is to be published for the first time in September, nearly 130 years after it was written. "The Narrative of John Smith" was unfinished and differed radically from the Sherlock Holmes stories that made him famous, but experts said it offered a window into the mind of Conan Doyle as he started out as a young doctor and author. "What is interesting about it is not the story for its own sake but as a look inside the mind of this very young man — a struggling physician who is struggling even harder to become a published writer," said Jon Lellenberg, one of the book's editors and a Conan Doyle expert based in Chicago. To be published by the British Library which owns an extensive Conan Doyle collection, the book was written in 1883 and 1884, a few years before the publication of "A Study In Scarlet", the first story to feature the character of Holmes. Through the character of John Smith, a 50-year-old man confined to his room by an attack of gout, Conan Doyle sets down his thoughts and opinions on subjects including literature, science, religion, war, and education. Lellenberg said that while Smith was not a precursor to Holmes, other characters bore more than a passing resemblance to future personalities in the detective stories including his sidekick Dr Watson. "He's clearly thinking about characters who would become major figures (in the Holmes novels)," Lellenberg said. According to the introduction to the novel, "The Narrative of John Smith" is not what modern readers might call a "page turner". "There is very little in the way of plot or characterisation: the work is essentially a series of lengthy reflections on contemporary debates occupying the young Conan Doyle in his early twenties," it reads. "The Narrative is not successful fiction, but offers remarkable insight into the thinking and views of a raw young writer who would shortly create one of literature's most famous and durable characters, Sherlock Holmes." Conan Doyle himself once remarked that he would rather the story never saw the light of day, according to Lellenberg. "It's not because of the issues in there as he was never afraid to tackle controversial issues. But I think he recognised how immature the work was." Conan Doyle was in his early 20s when he wrote his first novel, although he had already had a number of short stories published in literary journals of the time. They had been published anonymously, and the doctor living in the southern English city of Portsmouth realised he would have to move into novels to establish himself as a writer. The original manuscript of "The Narrative of John Smith" was lost in the post on the way to the publisher, and Conan Doyle had to rewrite it from memory. British comedian and actor Stephen Fry said the publication of the early Conan Doyle work would add to people's understanding of the breadth of his knowledge and curiosity. "He was the first popular writer to tell the wider reading public about narcotics, the Ku Klux Klan, the mafia, the Mormons, American crime gangs, corrupt union bosses and much else besides," he wrote in a statement. "His boundless energy, enthusiasm and wide-ranging mind, not to mention the pitch-perfect, muscular and memorable prose is all on display here in a work whose publication is very, very welcome indeed." — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Following the man who stole tea from China Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:45 AM PDT Rose spent weeks tracing Fortune's trail through China. TOKYO, June 7 — Robert Fortune was a scientist, a botanist and, in some ways, an industrial spy. But he is best known as the man who stole tea from deep within China and took it to India in the mid-1800s, changing history. His venture required years of toil up China's rivers by boat to places where no Westerner had gone before, overcoming illness, pirate attacks and untrustworthy associates in the quest for tea seeds and plants that could be grown in India. For much of his second journey, he dressed in Chinese clothes, a fake queue of hair down his back. "People had tried to do what he had done, people had tried to sneak it out via the treaty ports, people had tried to appropriate tea seeds and take them to India, and it ended in failure," said writer Sarah Rose, who spent weeks tracing Fortune's trail through China. "The plant hunters were the R&D men of the (British) Empire. They took raw materials and said, what can we do with this, and created an entirely new world. And he was one of the very last guys to do that." Rose's efforts resulted in a book, "For All the Tea in China," that chronicles Fortune's journeys, which finally enabled tea to be grown in India and broke China's monopoly on the beloved beverage for good. The son of a Scottish farm worker, Fortune's knowledge of plants and science came from practical experience, not higher education. His low social station meant he was only grudgingly provided with weapons by the Royal Horticultural Society, which sponsored the first of his plant-hunting journeys. Though most of the delicate tea seedlings died due to shipping mishaps on his first try at sending them to India, his experiments with a special case to transport them meant that a later attempt was more successful. Besides this, Fortune was the first to determine that black and green tea actually came from the same plant. He also introduced many trees, shrubs and flowers to the West, including varieties of roses, tree peonies and azaleas. For Rose, who stumbled onto Fortune's story thanks to a comment from an ex-boyfriend, the years she devoted to his life, travelling in China and in the stacks of the British Library, then writing, were both joyful and frustrating. "At some points I found him very unlikable — that kind of haughty Victorian notion of the West, a superior race, and the East as an uncivilised, wild place that they could dominate," she said. "At the same time, I would have to locate him in the who he was and the world he came from, and out of that he was extraordinary. He was so full of daring — gone from the entire world that he knew for three years at a time, leaving his family behind, to explore this wild place." Though she began working mostly from Fortune's own papers — "he's not a very joyful writer" — she had exciting moments when, combing through handwritten documents in old, leather-bound books, she discovered stories behind what Fortune himself knew, rounding out the overall drama. In the end, she also came to feel that Fortune's life and experience may hold a message for modern times. "There is still a kind of espionage between China and America, there is still so much mutual suspicion," she said. "I think I might say there's a lesson that when both sides sow so much suspicion and the stakes are so high, somebody has to step down and trust or you are going to get a lot of stealing of national secrets." — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Managers digging for Gold Posted: 06 Jun 2011 04:33 PM PDT JUNE 7 — With the European football season finally at an end (with the exception of Russia, where the Premier League will continue throughout the summer), it's time for the continent's players to head for the beaches of Dubai and the Caribbean. But not so for the managers, whose time will be filled with endless reviews of last season, ponderings over match tactics and training strategies, deliberations over which players to release, sell or reward with new contracts, and — most importantly — decisions over how to reinforce the squad with new signings. Steve Coppell, my former boss at Reading, regularly used to lament that there's no such a thing as genuine "time off" for a manager: whether they're at the cinema, playing golf or having a meal with friends, they can never fully get their team off their minds. And so it is now, even at this "restful" time of year, with transfer market wrangling taking up the majority of their brainspace. All managers always have a long list of potential transfer targets perennially at the ready — some realistic, some dependant on funds becoming available, some last resorts — and mobile phones are kept busy by desperate agents trying to make a fast buck by promising the perfect new signing. A lot of those "possible signings" lists will feature the same names – players whose availability, asking price and potential wages are widely known throughout managerial circles; how many Premier League bosses, do you think, are contemplating trying to sign Scott Parker this summer? (Answer: nearly all of them). But the real aim of every manager is to unearth an exciting new talent, a previously undiscovered gem, before any of their competitors have the chance to get their hands on them. And with that in mind, many managers and scouts will be keeping a keen eye on the Concacaf (Central and North American) Gold Cup, which got underway in Dallas this weekend and is scheduled to conclude in California on 25th June. The hot favourites for the tournament are Mexico, who got their campaign off to a winning start by thrashing El Salvador 5-0 on Sunday night, largely thanks to a hat-trick from Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez. The Mexican squad contains plenty of familiar faces — players such as Hernandez, warhorse midfielder Gerardo Torrado, ex-Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez and Fulham full-back Carlos Salcido. Those already well-known players won't do much to excite representatives from Premier League clubs — they know everything about them anyway — but there are also a few relative unknowns that could end up provoking some interest. Angel Reyna, for example, is very much in the shop window. The winger-cum-striker finished the recently-concluded Mexican domestic season as the country's leading goalscorer, helping his club, America, into the play-offs, and at the age of 26 he should be entering the prime of his career. If he impresses in the next few weeks, a European move may well beckon. Premier League clubs are particularly keen on players from the United States, who generally possess a solid work ethic, impressive athleticism and present no language barrier. Most of the USA squad for the Gold Cup are already well-known, but 18-year-old Colombian-born striker Juan Agudelo, currently with New York Red Bulls, is one possible star in the making. Another player who could be worth a look is Panama midfielder Armando Cooper. I saw Cooper in action at the Central American Championships (Copa Centroamericana) in January, and he was pretty impressive as a fast, direct winger with good dribbling ability and an eye for goal. The downside with Cooper was a lack of consistency, but he certainly possesses potential and at the age of 23 there's plenty of time for him to improve. He currently plays for Arabe Unido, one of the strongest club sides in Panama, and would therefore come pretty cheap. There's little doubt that a number of transfers will follow as a direct result of the evidence presented in the Gold Cup, but it's very important to get it right and try to avoid capturing a dud — in the same way that a good signing can make a season (such as Manchester United's capture of Hernandez), a bad signing can prove fatal to a team's prospects. Earlier this season, for example, struggling French club Monaco identified a lack of goals as their most pressing concern and snapped up powerful but cumbersome Honduran striker Georgie Welcome in an attempt to address the problem, perhaps encouraged by his vaguely impressive performances in last summer's World Cup Finals; he subsequently scored just two goals in 13 appearances for Monaco and the team was relegated. Two or three decent games in a middle-ranking international tournament don't necessarily mean a great deal and plenty of pitfalls (like Georgie Welcome) lie in wait, but a few careers will be changed forever in the course of the next few weeks. * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.

Profesional tidak tolak kepimpinan ulama PAS Posted: 06 Jun 2011 04:21 PM PDT 7 JUN — Mohamad Sabu seorang aktivis Islam dari PAS yang bukan ulama. Dia dicalonkan untuk menjadi Timbalan Presden PAS yang terdiri dari yang terdiri dari lulusan pengajian tinggi Islam. Dan Mat Sabu berjaya. Demikian juga Muktamar PAS ke  57 mengundi tiga orang bukan ulama untuk menjadi Naib Presidennya iaitu Salehuddin Ayub, Dato Husam Musa dan Dato Mahfuz Umar. Mereka mengalahkan beberapa calon dari golongan ulama. Pemimpin-pemimpin PAS yang terpilih dan mereka yang mengundi menyokongnya masih mengaku bahawa menyokong konsep kepimpinan ulama yang menjadi pegangan parti itu sejak tahun 1982. Tidak ada ahli PAS termasuk yang menyertai PAS selepas tahun 1982 yang menentang konsep kepimpinan ulama. Malah pemerhati politik percaya bilangan golongan profesional yang menyertai PAS dan komited dengan perjuangannya lebih ketara dari yang menyertai UMNO. Dan mereka tahu pimpinan parti itu berkonsepkan ulama. Jika terdapat Mat Sabu dan lebih ramai dari kalangan profesional memenangi  pemilihan pimpinan PAS minggu lalu, ia tidak disebabkan mereka menolak konsep itu. Apa yang berlaku setelah 30 tahun piminan itu diterima ialah terdapat polemik di kalangan penyokong PAS tentang  tafsir kepimpinan ulama itu.                                                                                               Satu golongan berpendapat  bahawa kepimpinan itu meliputi seluruh keanggotaan Majlis Syura Ulama, Presiden, Timbalan Presiden. Lain-lain jawatan adalah terbuka kepada setiap ahli yang diketahui tidak melakukan dosa besar dan tidak mengekalkan dosa kecil. Satu pandangan lagi berpendapat bahawa konsep itu memadai dengan semua keanggotaan Majlis Syura Ulama. Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden tidak mestinya terdiri dari ulama. Pendapat yang pertama itu tidak pernah dicabar oleh sesiapa hinggalah PAS dipimpin oleh Tuan Guru Haji Abdul Hadi Awang. Ia tidak dicabar sebelumnya kerana wujud ketika kepimpinan ulama yang beerwibawa yang terdiri dari beberapa tokoh yang diterima oleh semua orang iaitu teridiri dari Haji Yusof Rawa,  Ustaz Fadzil Noor, Ustaz Nik Abdul Aziz bin Nik Mat, Ustaz Hji Abdul Hadi Awang, Ustaz Nakhaie Haji Ahmad, Ustaz Harun Taib dan lain-lain. Soal kepimpinan dan siapa yang akan menggantikan antara mereka tidak berbangkit. Apabila Majlis Syura Ulama diperkenalkan dengan Mursyidul Am sebagai ketuanya, maka semua nama yang disebut tadi layak dipilih. Badan itu diberi kuasa besar untuk mengesahkan semua keputusan  besar yang dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Agung. Ia menjadi badan yang tertinggi dalam parti selepas Muktamar. Haji Yusuf Rawa, Presiden ketika itu dipilih untuk menjadi Mursyidul Am yang pertama. Beliau merangkap dua jawatan paling penting iaitu Mursyidul Am dan Presiden parti. Dia mempunyai dua timbalan, iaitu seorang Timbalan Muryidul Am iaitu Tok Guru Nik Aziz dan Timbalan Presiden iaitu Ustaz Fadzil Noor. Dua Naib Presiden yang diperuntukan oleh perlembagaan ketika itu ialah Ustaz Hadi Awang dan Ustaz Nakhaie. Tetapi apabila Tok Guru Haji Hadi menjadi Pemangku Presiden berikut  kematian Ustaz Fadzil, tidak calon Timbalan Presiden yang jelas. Pemimpin yang paling kanan selepas Ustaz Hadi ialah Ustaz Hassan Shukri yang juga seorang ulama. Tetapi beliau tidak dilihat sebagai calon Timbalan jelas. Di saat terakhir Haji Mustafa Ali, Naib Presiden ketika itu dan beliau bukan ulama bertanding menentang Ustaz Hassan Shukri untuk menjadi Timbalan Presiden. Sejak itu timbul isu Timbalan itu tidak semestikan seorang ulama dan akhir-aakhir ini pula Presiden juga tidak semestinya ulama. Ketika Majlis Syura Ulama mula dibentuk, empat dari 12 anggotanya adalah mewakili Jawatankuasa Agung. Tidak disebutkan dua dari empat itu mesti Presien dan Timbalan Presiden. Oleh kerana Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden adalah ulama paling kanan dapat Jawatankuasa Agung maka kedua diutamakan untuk menganggotai majlis itu. Logik mereka menduduki majlis itu kerana sebagai pemimpin utama  dalam Jawatankuasa Agung maka kehadiran mereka dapat memberi keterangan dan penjelasan tentang perjalanan parti dan mengapa satu-satu keputusan dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Agung. Kedudukan itu diterima bahawa keahlian Presiden dan timbalan itu seolah-olah wajib dalam Majlis Syura. Atas kededukan itu orang beranggapan jika Presiden dan Timbalan itu  bukan dari golongan ulama, maka bagaimana mereka hendak duduk dalam Majlis Syura yang keahliannya wajib ulama? Jika mereka bukan ahli Majlis Syura, Majlis Syura terpaksa memanggil mereka hadir untuk bertanyakan sesuatu tentang keputusan yang dibuat dan tentang apa yang diarahkan oleh Majlis Syura untuk tindakan parti. Perlembagaan PAS sekarang tidak lagi memastikan wakilnya dalam Majlis Syura itu terdiri dari ahli Jawatankuasa Agung. Ia boleh dilantik dari mana-mana ulama bagi mewakilinya. Sejak itu ada perbincangan-perbincangan dibuat tentang isu Presiden dan timbalannya tidak semestinya dari ulama. Tetapi tidak keputusan diambil. Sejak Tok Guru Haji Hadi menjadi Presiden  tidak pernah jawatan Timbalan Presiden itu tidak dipertandingkan. Mula-mula pertandingan itu antara Ustaz Hassan Shukri dan Mustafa Ali. Selapas itu Hassan Shukri dicabar oleh Ustaz Nasaruddin Mat Isa. Ustaz Hassan dikalahkan. Selepas itu Nasaruddin pula dicabar oleh Ustaz Harun Taib. Sebelum Nasaruddin dicabar pula oleh Mat Sabu dan Husam Musa. Nasaruddin dapat mengekalkan kedudukannya. Kali terakhir ini Mat Sabu dapat mengalahkan Nasaruddin. Pertama penyertaan Mat Sabu itu adalah untuk memenuhi tuntutan umum parti bagi   mendapatkan seorang pengganti Ustaz Hadi yang jelas jika apa-apa keadaan berlaku. Dengan kemenangan Mat Sabu itu belum bererti pengganti  Ustaz Hadi itu terjawab. Kedua kemenangan Mat Sabu itu adalah bagi mengesahkan tafsiran konsep kepimpinan ulama itu tidak semestinya Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden terdiri dari ulama. * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.

PAS: ‘Kalah puak ulama, menang puak kopiah hitam’, kata Dr M Posted: 07 Jun 2011 02:22 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Jun – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad mendakwa pihak menang besar di sebalik pemilihan PAS hujung minggu lalu, dilihat sebagai pertembungan kumpulan ulama dan profesional, adalah tokoh-tokoh yang tidak hadir dan bukan ahli PAS khususnya Karpal Singh. Dengan nada menyindir, bekas perdana menteri berkata, syabas dan tahniah kepada Karpal kerana "akhirnya perjuangan mu menentang negara Islam PAS sudah berjaya." Kata Dr Mahathir (gambar), yang kalah ialah puak ulama manakala yang menang ialah puak kopiah hitam, penyokong Anwar. Sehubungan itu, kata Dr Mahathir, perjuangan Karpal, selaku Pengerusi DAP kebangsaan, supaya PAS menggugurkan matlamat mendirikan negara Islam, yang akan menguatkuasakan hukum hudud sudah pun tercapai. "Karpal tidak perlu mati untuk PAS langkah mayatnya. "Belum pun dia mati, PAS sekarang sudah menjadikan perjuangan untuk negara Islam dan hukum hudud tidak lagi perkara utama," kata beliau dengan merujuk kepada ucapan dasar Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang Jumaat lalu, menekankan bahawa PAS akan berjuang untuk negara berkebajikan. Ucapan Hadi bertemakan "Membangun Negara Berkebajikan". "Tidak ada banyak laporan berkenaan perbincangan atau perbahasan berkenaan dengan pengenepian asas penubuhan parti PAS iaitu mendiri negara Islam. "Dengan begitu mudah asas ini digugurkan," kata Dr Mahathir lagi. Dr Mahathir mendakwa PAS berbuat demikian kerana ingin menghalalkan kerjasama DAP, khususnya Karpal. "Lebih tepat lagi ialah kerana PAS tidak sanggup berhujah dengan Karpal Singh," katanya lagi. Anwar, yang dipecat Dr Mahathir pada September 1998, kini mengetuai Pakatan Rakyat yang dianggotai oleh DAP, PAS dan PKR. Dalam ucapan dasar Muktamar Tahunan Ke-57, Ahli Parlimen Marang ini berkata, Islam menjadikan kerajaan tidak membebankan rakyat dengan cukai yang tinggi atau cukai paksaan. "Contohnya dengan mewajibkan bayaran zakat kepada orang Islam, dan cukai kepada bukan Islam dengan kadar kemampuan dan galakan yang meningkatkan produktiviti pendapatan mereka. "Kerajaan juga tidak boleh menyekat kekayaan yang halal, tidak menipu, tidak menindas dan tidak rasuah," katanya. Hadi menjelaskan, PAS percaya bahawa perolehan pendapatan negara bukannya dengan cara membebankan rakyat dengan kaedah menaikkan cukai atau menyebabkan kenaikan harga barangan keperluan. "PAS yakin bahawa keadilan sosial yang berteraskan kebajikan kepada rakyat dan amalan yang adil membawa berkat yang mengembangkan hasil negara," kata beliau lagi. Bekas menteri besar Terengganu ini berkata, PAS telah melaksanakan sebahagian daripada konsep negara berkebajikan di negeri yang diperintahnya, mengikut kemampuan dan bidang kuasa yang ada di Kelantan dan Kedah, pernah di Terengganu dan Perak dan memperkenalkan di negeri PAS menyertai kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat di Selangor dan Pulau Pinang. Katanya, PAS bersama Pakatan Rakyat telah memperkenalkan konsep negara berkebajikan melalui Buku Jingga yang dilancarkan. "Sebenarnya sebahagian daripada Buku Jingga pernah dilaksanakan di negeri yang kita perintah, seperti pembatalan tol, pembatalan cukai yang membebankan rakyat dan memudahkan perkhidmatan asas yang menyentuh rukun hidup rakyat," katanya. "Kita telah membuktikan kemampuan memerintah selama dua puluh tahun di Kelantan dan di negeri lain, dengan kadar hasil yang tidak boleh difikir mampu oleh mereka yang berfahaman kebendaan. "Apatah lagi kini kita tentunya lebih yakin berkemampuan kerana hasil dan sumber negara tidak bocor dengan rasuah, membazir dan mewah," kata beliau lagi. Kata Hadi, negara berkebajikan yang ingin dicapai bukan hanya hebat pencapaian ekonominya semata-mata kerana "kita juga tidak mahu melahirkan masyarakat yang hanya melihat pembangunan material yang bertaburan" di sana sini tetapi  jiwa mereka kosong sehingga melahirkan berbagai penyakit kemanusiaan dalam masyarakat. Oleh itu katanya, negara yang diinginkan ialah yang juga menumpukan kepada kesejahteraan spiritual dan akhlak serta pembangunan rohani, yang dihubungkan dengan pegangan agama yang mampu untuk memandu kehidupan rakyat.

Hadi tidak mahu jawatan PM jikapun Pakatan menang Posted: 07 Jun 2011 01:30 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Jun – Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang berkata, beliau tidak mahukan jawatan Perdana Menteri jika Pakatan Rakyat berjaya dalam pilihan raya umum ke-13. Hadi (gambar), yang juga Ahli Parlimen Marang berkata, perjuangan PAS adalah untuk menyelamatkan negara dan memperkenalkan dasar negara berkebajikan yang dibawa oleh pakatan pembangkang. "Yang penting kita mahu selamatkan negara... sesiapapun boleh jadi Perdana Menteri," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita selepas mengadakan pertemuan dengan Menteri Besar Kelantan Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat di Kota Baru hari ini. Laporan Bernama Online memetik beliau mengulas kenyataan ahli Majlis Tertinggi Umno Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz bahawa perubahan kepemimpinan PAS yang kini dikuasai golongan profesional menunjukkan parti itu mahu berkuasa dalam pakatan pembangkang, termasuk Abdul Hadi yang berhasrat untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri. Malahan Nazri menegaskan peluang Umno untuk meraih undi kaum Melayu pada pilihan raya umum akan datang lebih besar selepas PAS menukar dasar parti itu untuk tidak lagi mempertahankan perjuangan membina negara Islam, sebaliknya memperjuangkan 'negara berkebajikan' di mana Umno sudah pun melaksanakannya sejak merdeka. Hadi juga menafikan Timbalan Presiden Mohamad Sabu sebagai liabiliti kepada parti setelah beliau dipilih oleh perwakilan dalam pemilihan pada Muktamar PAS minggu lalu. "Bagi Umno, Mohamad Sabu adalah satu peluang untuk menjatuhkan PAS. Tetapi bagi PAS, Mohamad Sabu adalah satu senjata untuk menjatuhkan Umno," katanya. Hadi turut menafikan bahawa wujudnya anggota parti yang kecewa dengan perubahan dasar perjuangan parti itu setelah beliau mengumumkan belum tiba masanya PAS menegakkan negara Islam yang menjadi dasar perjuangan parti itu selama ini, sebaliknya mahu memulakan dulu pelaksanaan negara berkebajikan sejajar tuntutan pakatan pembangkang. Malahan, katanya konsep negara berkebajikan itu mempunyai elemen yang lebih murni dalam menyelamatkan negara kerana PAS akan menerapkan konsep halal dan haram dalam pelaksanaannya.

Sri Lanka succumb to England bowlers Posted: 06 Jun 2011 08:59 AM PDT England's Steven Finn (L) reacts as Sri Lanka's Thilan Samaraweera looks behind during the second test cricket match at Lord's Cricket Ground in London June 6, 2011. – Reuters pic LONDON, June 6 – England wrapped up the Sri Lanka first innings today after rain had washed out the opening session to take a seven-run first innings lead on the fourth day of the second test at Lord's. Sri Lanka, comfortably placed at 372 for three overnight in reply to England's 486, lost their final seven wickets for 107 runs to finish on 479 with Steven Finn and Graeme Swann doing the damage. Finn, bowling with renewed vigour on a pitch freshened by the rain which swept in halfway through yesterday's second session, took four for 108. Swann, who had been frustrated by the quick-footed Sri Lankan batsmen yesterday, captured three of the last four wickets from 16 deliveries to finish with three for 101. The Sri Lankans made an immediate breakthrough before tea when Andrew Strauss was lbw without scoring to left-armer Chanaka Welegedara's second delivery. Welegedara dismissed the England captain for four, also lbw, in the first innings. At the interval England were 18 for one. After 50.4 overs had been lost yesterday, rain was still falling at the scheduled start time and the umpires decided to take lunch half an hour early. Play finally got underway at 1210 GMT. Finn and Chris Tremlett extracted some early lift from the pitch although the England pace attack generally once again had trouble with their line and direction and 25 of the 58 extras were byes. Finn fired one delivery wide of Matt Prior for four byes and Mahela Jayawardene, who had scored centuries in both his previous two tests at Lord's, took a boundary off a thick edge in the same over. Jaywardene, 40 not out overnight, moved to within one run of his fifty when he was squared up for Finn and edged a catch to Alastair Cook at third slip. Tremlett followed up by dismissing Thilan Samaraweera caught behind for nine and Stuart Broad, taking over from Finn at the Pavilion End trapped Farveez Maharoof lbw for two with a ball which kept low. Wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene, who scored a century in the first test in Cardiff, off-drove Broad crisply for four and swept Swann for a six. Rangana Herath also took a six off Swann in a lively seventh-wicket partnership of 57 before he was stumped for 26 trying to heave the off-spinner over mid-wicket. Prasanna Jaywardene had taken his total to 40 with five boundaries when he was caught by Swann at second slip off Finn. Dilhara Fernando (5) followed smartly caught one-handed by Strauss at slip off Swann. After Finn had struck Suranga Lakmal a nasty blow on the helmet the innings folded half an hour before tea when Welegedara (6) lofted Swann to deep mid-on. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Actor Wesley Snipes loses tax case appeal Posted: 06 Jun 2011 07:24 AM PDT WASHINGTON, June 6 – Actor Wesley Snipes, serving a three-year prison sentence for failing to file income tax returns, suffered a legal setback today when the US Supreme Court refused to review his case. Snipes, 48, (picture) the star of the "Blade" action movies, was convicted in 2008 in a Florida court for willful failure to file federal tax returns from 1999 through 2001. Snipes, who has served nearly one year of his three-year term, was accused of not filing personal income tax returns and not paying any taxes from 1999 through 2004 despite earning more than US$37 million as an actor and producer. Attorneys for Snipes said the case was improperly brought in Florida and should have been moved to New York, but the trial judge and a US appeals court rejected those arguments. Defence attorneys said that, during the earlier tax years in question, Snipes lived with his family in New York City and then moved to a home in the northern New Jersey suburbs. He also had a residence near Los Angeles. US Justice Department prosecutors said Florida was the proper venue for the case. They presented evidence at trial that Snipes was born in Florida, had a home in Windermere, Florida, since 1992, had a Florida driver's licence and listed Windermere as his residence in contracts for the "Blade" movies. In the Supreme Court appeal, attorneys for Snipes said the trial judge should have held a hearing on the evidence about venue before submitting the issue to the jury. The high court rejected the appeal without any comment, refusing to hear the case. The Supreme Court case is Wesley Snipes v. United States, No. 10-1075. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

International box office: ‘Pirates’ overcomes ‘X-Men’ Posted: 06 Jun 2011 04:48 AM PDT LOS ANGELES, June 6 – For the third week in a row, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has captured the top spot at the international box office, having collected US$69.4 million (RM208.87 million) internationally in more than 100 markets over the weekend and closing in on US$800 million in earnings worldwide – so far, the biggest film of 2011. The top territories for this fourth installment of the fantasy adventure franchise, starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush, are Japan with US$61.5 million, Russia at US$57.1 million and China with US$53 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo. Already On Stranger Tides beats the total of the original 2003 film, which made US$352.9 million in international markets and is likely to exceed previous sequels. More than 75 per cent of the gross has come from outside the US, while Stateside Pirates has made a disappointing US$190.2 million, leading The Hollywood Reporter to speculate that Americans might be tired of 3D or the extra cost. Coming in at a close second, X-Men: First Class took in US$64 million across 74 markets and expected to reach the top spot in 30 countries, including the UK and France. The fifth installment and reboot of the comic franchise, starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, January Jones and Jennifer Lawrence, debuted better than X-Men: Wolverine in 14 countries, including France, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. In third, The Hangover Part II took US$62 million from 53 markets, including debuts in 13 countries, such as Germany with an impressive US$12.6 million and Russia with US$5 million. After nine days, the international gross of the comedy sequel, US$151 million, has reached 78 per cent of the take of the original's run. Starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Ken Jeong, the film opens in Spain on June 23 and Japan July 1. Kung Fu Panda 2 finished fourth in its second weekend with US$40 million in 28 markets and an international total of US$125 million – US$25 million more than the US. With 17 new territories, the animated sequel stayed in first in South Korea, grabbed US$13.9 million in China and was the biggest-ever debut in Vietnam with US$1 million. KFP 2 opens in 13 more markets, including the UK, Brazil and Mexico, next weekend. In fifth was Fast Five, making US$10 million in 63 territories. The fifth installment of the car action movie opened in Venezuela, collecting US$1 million.

Time is of the essence Posted: 05 Jun 2011 05:20 PM PDT JUNE 6 — No one valued time as much as Benjamin Franklin. As a student, we learned that Franklin was a scientist. In our history book, he was known as the man responsible for the invention of the lightning rod. What most of us didn't know was that he was also a publisher, printer, writer and philosopher who then became one of America's greatest statesmen. One of his many profound accomplishments included the drafting of the American Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It is then fair to conclude that Franklin was a man completely and utterly obsessed with how he optimised time. How else would you explain his level of productivity (yes, I'm mindful of the fact there were no royal wedding broadcast, Facebook, Twitter or Angry Bird at that time)? My father is such a man. My father considers watching television as a sinful act of boondoggling, except for the prime-time news headlines. He doesn't read anything fictional nor "trashy". His reading materials are limited to two newspapers, the Reader's Digest and biographical works of successful businessmen and politicians. He loves quoting them and I grew up listening to wise proverbs and quotes from people I never knew existed. As teenager my father would tell me this, "Never leave til' tomorrow what you can do today." Little did I know that this was a quote from Franklin. Franklin was also known to have said the following: "Time is money", "You may delay but time will not", "Lost time is never found again" and "Don't you love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." Although my father understands the value of time, he has never in his entire life worn a watch. It is as if his profound appreciation of time has influenced his internal body system to stay in synch with the constant ticking of the clock. Everything he does is calculated with the precision of a Swiss watch. Fifteen minutes for breakfast, one hour to read the papers, 10 minutes for shower, 30 minutes gardening, etc. But I don't remember my father ever telling my brother and I that he has no time for us. What I find curious is this: what our ancestors considered precious, we, the younger generation, seem to treat as if it's limitless and therefore worthless. Is it because we now have longer life span? Or is it because we have better technology to help us accomplish much more in a shorter period of time and hence leaving us with more time to indulge in things of a frivolous nature? The irony is this: the gifts of longevity and technology have in fact rendered us more worthless to human civilisation while time, on the other hand, remains unequivocally precious. One of the things which I find frustrating living in the city is the amount of time wasted on the road and waiting for someone. It is as if we spend most of our lives just waiting for things to happen. I would like to share some examples. Meetings in true Malaysian fashion never seem to start on time because we're perpetually late. I have experienced many occasions when I am late for a meeting simply because my previous meeting started late. Sometimes, I rush to my next appointment as best as I can only to find the person I am supposed to meet arriving late. This upsets me because I end up wasting my time just waiting when I could have utilised it for something more meaningful. Those who devalue time encourage others to do the same. I often find myself thinking that if others do not respect my time, why should I respect theirs? If they have no remorse about making others wait, why do I kill myself to be punctual? In the end, it becomes a perpetual vicious cycle where tardiness turns into a shameful culture. Whenever I am tempted to be late, I am reminded by these words, "Making someone wait is disrespectful. It's even worse than stealing because the truth is, no amount of sorry and repentance will ever give that person's time back." The other common example is the amount of time we spend on whining, self-pity and of course the most popular of all, getting over a heartbreak. We all have gone through heartbreaks at some stage of our lives and we all know it is not a unique situation. Most of us tackle this situation with an even less unique method. We tend to spend our time dwelling or obsessing about it. I realise how much time I have spent thinking and rethinking why a relationship failed. We think that the whole world has stopped, or perhaps time has stopped but the scary thing is, it hasn't. Before we know it, six months, one year, two years and, for some, a lifetime has passed us by and yet we're still hanging on to something which isn't there anymore. Friends who have confided their failed relationships to me often receive this piece of advice: "Keep those memories with you but move on with your life. Don't waste it by dwelling on it because you're just letting precious time slip away from your hands. You'll look back one day and realise that you can't replace the time you have lost by mourning over someone who no longer means anything to your life." If I ever go through a heartbreak again, I hope these are the words my friends will tell me. Of course, you have some people who constantly tell you that they don't have time. H. Jackson Brown said: "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein." Indeed, most of us will never be as productive as the names mentioned above because let's face it, a better standard of living also means we get to spend time doing things for ourselves and not just for others. The big question is, how do we want to spend it? I don't advocate for anyone, including myself, to follow the way my father lives his life. Not because it's pathetic as some of you may have judged too quickly but simply because not everyone can or wants to utilise time the same way my father does or Franklin did. The point is, do I want to lie on my deathbed begging for God to reverse time so that I can spend it better or being contented with the memories of what I have achieved in my lifetime? Time is always punctual and it waits for no one. So make yours count before it's too late.  * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.

Cerpen yang tercicir Posted: 05 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT 6 JUN — Pada hari ini, saya dijadual mewakili seorang penulis penting tanah air, Azman Hussin, untuk mengadakan perbincangan dengan Pengarah Penerbitan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) berhubung sebuah cerpennya yang "tercicir" daripada antologi khas bagi cerpen-cerpen yang memenangi Hadiah Sastera Perdana Malaysia. Kisah ini bermula pada 24 Mei 2011 apabila Azman membeli antologi "Cinta Sekerdip Embun" (DBP: 2010) tetapi terkilan kerana cerpennya yang menang kategori cerpen dalam Hadiah Sastera Perdana Malaysia (HSPM) 2002/03 tidak termuat dalam antologi itu. "Cerpen saya bertajuk 'Tahun Depan di Jerusalem' tersiar di akhbar Mingguan Malaysia pada tahun 2002, kemudian diumumkan menang Hadiah Sastera Utusan-Public Bank, HSPM serta Hadiah Sastera Kelantan pada tahun sama. "Saya pernah dihubungi pegawai DBP berhubung antologi itu dan saya sudah beri surat izin terbit pada tahun 2009. Saya marah dan terkilan. Macam hak saya telah dinafikan," kata penulis kelahiran Pasir Puteh, Kelantan itu ketika menghubungi saya pada keesokan hari. Kisah Azman bermula pada 24 Mei. Antologi "Cinta Sekerdip Embun" yang diusahakan oleh Bahagian Penerbitan Sastera DBP memuatkan 50 cerpen yang menang HSPM dari 1996/97 hingga 2004/05. Bagi karya yang menang HSPM 2002/03, hanya cerpen "Tahun Depan di Jerusalem" tercicir manakala 12 cerpen lain dimuatkan di dalamnya. "Saya tak mahu hak saya dinafikan. Dulu manuskrip kumpulan cerpen saya, "Dongeng Pascamerdeka" pernah ditolak DBP, kemudian dimenangkan pula untuk HSPM 1998/99 selepas saya menerbitkannya sendiri. Bagi saya, ini bukan soal tak ada rezeki atau mutu karya saya dipertikaikan. Kalau cerpen 'Tahun Depan di Jerusalem' tidak dimuatkan, maka antologi "Cinta Sekerdip Embun" tidak tepat dari segi fakta HSPM," katanya sebagai meluahkan perasaan kepada saya. Saya menghubungi Sasterawan Negara Datuk Dr Anwar Ridhwan yang menulis pengenalan bagi antologi itu untuk mendapatkan pandangan beliau. Dekan Fakulti Penulisan, Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (Aswara) itu menjelaskan bahawa beliau bukan penyelenggara; sebaliknya hanya menerima manuskrip antologi itu untuk menulis pengenalan. "Jadi, dalam kedudukan itu, saya memang tidak tahu jika ada cerpen yang tertinggal dalam antologi berkenaan. Apa pun, saya sudah mengirim e-mel kepada pegawai berkenaan di DBP dan minta mereka menyemak dengan segera," katanya yang turut bersedih atas apa yang berlaku. Pada petang 25 Mei, saya mengirim e-mel mengenai perkara ini kepada Ketua Pengarah DBP, Datuk Termuzi Abdul Aziz dan dua pegawai yang pernah terlibat dalam projek antologi berkenaan. Kemudian, pada 1 Jun, saya dimaklumkan bahawa DBP akan mengadakan perbincangan dengan Azman untuk menjelaskan kedudukan sebenar cerpen "Tahun Depan di Jerusalem". Ketua Bahagian Penerbitan Buku Sastera DBP, Puan Norimah Bajuri dalam e-mel balasannya kepada saya berkata, "Perbincangan akan dipengerusikan oleh Pengarah Penerbitan DBP pada 6 Jun, pukul 10:00 pagi, di bilik Pengarah Penerbitan, Tingkat 10, Menara DBP." Terdahulu, pada 29 Mei, Anwar memanjangkan kandungan e-mel yang beliau terima daripada Puan Norimah di mana antara kandungan e-mel itu adalah seperti berikut: "Cerpen Azman Hussin yang berjudul 'Tahun Depan di Jerusalem' yang memenangi HSPM 2002/03 tidak dimasukkan dalam buku tersebut. Hal ini demikian kerana sepanjang kami menguruskan penerbitan buku tersebut, kami gagal menghubungi beliau untuk mendapatkan izin terbit. Pelbagai usaha telah kami lakukan untuk menjejaki alamat terkini beliau, terutama melalui teman-teman penulis tetapi gagal. Oleh itu, kami mengambil keputusan mengeluarkan cerpen tersebut semasa manuskrip sudah di peringkat pruf akhir (pracetak)." Azman pula menjelaskan bahawa beliau ada menerima surat meminta izin terbit dan juga panggilan telefon daripada pihak DBP pada 2009. "Saya telah memberi persetujuan untuk karya itu diterbitkan. Macam mana pula dikatakan saya tidak dapat dihubungi? Rasanya salinan fotokopi surat meminta izin terbit itu masih ada dalam simpanan saya. Tidak betul jika dikatakan saya tidak dapat dihubungi," katanya. Mengulas lanjut isu sama, Azman berkata: "Jika diberi alasan tidak dapat dihubungi, itu tipu. Logikkah sebelum ini saya pernah dihubungi untuk diskusi buku 'Dongeng Pascamerdeka' pada tahun 2000, kemudian dihubungi lagi pada tahun sama untuk makluman HSPM, kemudian pada 2004 untuk HSPM 2002/03. Semuanya melalui surat ke alamat yang sama. Saya masih boleh dihubungi di alamat surat-menyurat yang sama sehingga hari ini. Cuba periksa rekod DBP, alamat saya ada dalam simpanan mereka. Kalau tidak, DBP takkan dapat hubungi saya untuk minta izin terbit cerpen tersebut pada tahun 2009." Anwar pula berpendapat bahawa sebaik-baiknya Azman berhubung terus dengan pihak DBP untuk menjernihkan perkara ini berbanding meminta pihak ketiga menguruskannya. Azman menghubungi saya dari Kelantan pada 31 Mei dan menceritakan beberapa perkara yang membuatkan saya lebih memahami mengapa beliau "keberatan" untuk berurusan sendiri bersama pihak DBP berkenaan isu ini. Ringkasnya, Azman menaruh kepercayaan kepada saya selaku pemilik tunggal "Perunding Media, Motivasi dan Penerbitan Uthaya" untuk mewakili beliau dalam pertemuan dan perbincangan bersama pihak DBP bagi mencari penyelesaian terbaik berhubung isu cerpennya yang "tercicir" daripada antologi "Cinta Sekerdip Embun". Azman juga sudah menyediakan surat rasmi pada 2 Jun untuk menyatakan bahawa beliau melantik saya sebagai wakil. Maka, secara rasmi, saya akan mewakili Azman dalam pertemuan dan perbicangan bersama pihak DBP pada pagi ini. Saya sudah pun memaklumkan perkara ini kepada Puan Norimah menerusi e-mel pada 2 Jun. Saya pergi dengan niat murni sambil memikul tanggungjawab yang diamanahkan oleh salah seorang pengarang penting tanah air. Saya pergi kerana kami berdua tidak mahu nasib sama menimpa penulis lain pada masa hadapan. * Uthaya Sankar SB percaya bahawa tidak akan tercapai kebaikan sekiranya tidak ada sesiapa yang berani mengetengahkan kebenaran, seperti kata Mahatma Gandhi. * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.

Hishammuddin nafi bantu firma Australia, adiknya digunakan Posted: 06 Jun 2011 02:52 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Jun – Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein menafikan laporan media asing bahawa adik bongsunya telah dibayar untuk mendapatkan kontrak-kontrak bagi sebuah firma pengeluar mata wang Australia. "Saya menafikan perkara itu, ia tidak benar," kata Menteri Dalam Negeri itu (gambar) pada sidang media di sini hari ini. Akhbar Australia, The Age melaporkan bahawa Securency International, yang separuhnya dimiliki oleh bank pusat negara itu telah menandatangani Liberal Technology sebagai ejennya pada 2009 atas harapan bahawa pemegang besarnya Datuk Haris Onn Hussein, akan "membolehkan akses, dan pengaruh ke atas ahli-ahli politik utama Malaysia." Haris, yang juga pengerusi Liberal Technology, merupakan sepupu Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan adik kepada Hishammuddin, yang akan berada di Canberra untuk menandatangani perjanjian yang membolehkan Australia menghantar 800 pencari suaka ke Malaysia dan menerima 4,000 pelarian. "Adik saya? Pertama, saya memberitahu anda perkara yang benar, saya tidak tahu apa yang adik saya lakukan. Kedua, saya tidak melihat Australia akan berbuat demikian. Ketiga, tiada kaitan sama sekali dengan apa yang saya lakukan dengan Australia, sangat mudah," kata beliau yang juga Naib Presiden Umno.

Nazri: Dengan jadikan PAS kuat, impian Hadi maju jadi PM Posted: 06 Jun 2011 02:28 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Jun – Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz memberi PKR dan DAP peringatan mengenai imej liberal yang hendak dibawa PAS sambil menegaskan, presiden parti Islam itu, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang bercita-cita mahu menggantikan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai perdana menteri menanti dari Pakatan Rakyat. Berkongsi analisis beliau berhubung pemilihan PAS yang diadakan akhir minggu lalu, ahli Majlis Tertinggi itu berkata, trend baru muncul di parti Islam konservatif itu – nafsu baru untuk berkuasa. Kata Nazri (gambar), permainan politik baru kepimpinan PAS bertujuan mahu mengubahsuai imej Islamnya agar ia kelihatan dapat diterima oleh bukan Islam dan seterusnya menjadi parti yang kuat dalam Pakatan Rakyat, mengatasi kedudukan PKR dan DAP. Sehubungan itu, menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri ini berkata, kebangkitan PAS akan membawa kepada pergolakan kuasa dalam Pakatan Rakyat semasa pilihan raya umum akan datang kerana mereka akan cuba untuk mengatasi satu sama lain untuk mendapatkan perwakilan besar dalam Parlimen. "Sudah pasti, mereka akan bertelagah. Saya fikir Hadi sedar bahawa ada peluang bagi beliau untuk menjadi pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat," katanya lagi. "JIka beliau berfikir bahawa beliau boleh menawan Putrajaya, maka beliau mahu menjadi perdana menteri. Itu sebabnya beliau memaksa parti itu mengubah imej sebab beliau tahu bahawa Anwar berada dalam masalah dan PAS mahu menjadi parti yang kukuh dalam Pakatan Rakyat," kata Nazri pada sidang media di sini hari ini.
