They have waited and waited while the company has stalled and delayed,” she said.. A WOMAN motorist was jailed for 12 months yesterday after she admitted running over and killing a mother-of-two after a road-rage attack. “The claimants in this case have shown enormous faith in British justice. A government health inspector who visited Penge, in the Eastern Transvaal, found children under 12 with the disease.Jessica Woodroffe, head of campaigns for the World Development Movement, which has backed the case, said it was “quite, quite wrong” that a company should be able to delay such a case as Cape had done. In a five-year period, eight out of ten black miners who died in the nearby Koegas mine had the disease.The former workers and residents were exposed to levels of asbestos dust up to 35 times the British legal limit.

It is not for me, save in a clear and extreme case, to pass judgement on the merits or otherwise of another jurisdiction.”One in seven people in the Northern Cape town of Prieska, where Cape had a mill, now has asbestosis. The lawyers for the workers, Leigh Day and Co, believe the South African courts could refuse to hear the case on the grounds that it should be brought in the UK.Cape, which operated asbestos plants and mines in South Africa until the 1970s, has mounted a fierce rearguard action against the compensation claim.Mr Justice Buckley said that South Africa was “clearly and distinctly the more appropriate forum” for a hearing into conditions in South Africa over 20 or 30 years and the individual histories of the claimants.He had heard that Cape, which now works in asbestos removal, had sold its mines in 1979, and today had no interests in the country and very little documentation relating to the relevant period.”I cannot find, on the evidence, that the South African courts would fail to deal with the matter appropriately. The case will now go back to the House of Lords, which has already ruled that another group of Cape workers who have the same illness can sue in Britain.
Campaigners say the UK is out of line with the rest of Europe on the issue, and that if Cape had been a German firm the workers would have had their cases heard by now.If the appeal fails, the case will have to go ahead in South Africa, where such a group action has never before been heard. The disease killed her sister Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, three months later, while Anne died the following May, two months after the letter was written..

UP TO 4,000 South African workers victims of asbestosis had their compensation case thrown out of the English High Court yesterday. After nearly two and a half years of legal proceedings a judge ruled that the English firm involved, Cape Plc, should be sued by its former staff in South Africa rather than in Britain. but there have been hours – days – weeks of inexpressible anguish to undergo and the cloud of impending distress still lowers dark and sullen above us.”The letter was written from the Parsonage on 15 March 1849 to Laetitia Wheelwright, a former pupil and a friend, who was living in London.For all the repression and isolation they may have experienced, the Bronte sisters demonstrated the fiercest access to their own emotions and Charlotte’s letters – which she came to live for – are one of the results.The new, four-sided letter, will be displayed one year in four under a low light to prevent deterioration.It is called the “dreadful dream” letter because it opens: “I have not quite forgotten about you through the winter but I have remembered you only like some pleasant waking idea, struggling through a dreadful dream.”Charlotte’s brother, Branwell, a notorious drinker with an opium habit, died from tuberculosis in September 1849. She is a natural-born writer.”The only time the letter has been published was in the Twenties, in a collection of her letters – but the transcription was flawed.In sepia-coloured iron gall ink on mourning stationery(white paper with a black border) Charlotte writes: “God has hitherto supported me in some sort through all these bitter calamities … The museum contributed pounds 10,000 and the remainder was raised mainly through private donations.”Oh yes, here is the ‘dark night of the soul’,” said the museum’s director, Mike Hill, who was enthused to the point of delirium by the rhythmical beauty which Charlotte’s grief appears to have delivered.”It does so bring out that she was a natural writer This is not an artificially composed letter There’s a fabulous rhythm there. The Bronte Society contributed pounds 8,000 of the pounds 50,000 needed to bring it from the United States, where it was part of a private collection and spotted for sale in a dealer’s catalogue.

Sure, his acting may have taken a backseat to his bronzed visage years ago, but what did happen to George Hamilton years ago? Well, there’s a story there, one now coming to the big screen. Hamilton’s formative years are loosely depicted in the film “My One and Only,” opening in wide release September 4.

In 1971, 1981 or 1991, Middle Distance Runner, the indie-pop craftsmen from Washington, D.C., might have become the biggest band in America.

After appearing in just six films, Edward Norton has already established himself as among the most talented actors of his generation. Two Oscar nominations, one for his coruscating debut in 1996’s Primal Fear, and another for playing a virulent skinhead in last year’s American History X, have demonstrated his ability to make the characters he plays wholly his own. After appearing in just six films, Edward Norton has already established himself as among the most talented actors of his generation. Two Oscar nominations, one for his coruscating debut in 1996’s Primal Fear, and another for playing a virulent skinhead in last year’s American History X, have demonstrated his ability to make the characters he plays wholly his own.
Still only 31, Norton has now made his directing debut with Keeping the Faith, in which he also co-stars.

An amiable but uneven romantic comedy set in New York (see review, opposite), its premise sounds like an old music hall routine: a rabbi (played by Ben Stiller) and a Catholic priest (Norton) are in love with the same woman. “The thing I liked about the script was that it treated it seriously, it wasn’t just a joke,” explains a tired Norton in a New York hotel room. “In a lot of modern romantic comedies, the obstacle to romance is neurosis and in this the obstacle was denominational: she’s not Jewish and he’s a priest.”Slender, of average height and dressed anonymously in jeans and a brown sweater, the Maryland-raised Norton does not remotely resemble a movie star, while his precise and articulate manner means that he comes across like an older version of the Yale student that he once was.”By definition it’s a very uncynical film, and I liked that I think a lot of our generation’s films now are very ironic. You get characters deflecting their vulnerability with ironic detachment, and one of the things I liked about this is that it had no irony to it,” he says.Keeping the Faith could have been a little less old-fashioned and rather sharper and, ironically, Norton himself gives his least convincing performance yet as the frustrated priest. Nevertheless, the film gave him the chance to cast Milos Forman, who directed him in The People vs Larry Flynt, as an elderly Czech priest and to revisit one of his favourite movies, Jules et Jim.”It’s a wonderful example of a film about three people who all love each other in a relationship over time and how it all gets complicated,” he says. “I remember when I saw that movie, what struck me was how Truffaut was having a lot of fun with a story that wasn’t about plot, it was about relationships.

It’s an example of how you can make a very talky movie – I had that in my mind.”Real-life relationships are an area that’s firmly off-limits with Norton. Currently seeing Mexican actress Salma Hayek, he previously dated Courtney Love after meeting her on the set of The People vs Larry Flynt and when The New Yorker published a less than flattering profile of her, he was gentleman enough to dash off a letter in her defence. Prior to that he shared a flat in New York – his base since he graduated from college in 1991 – with Drew Barrymore.The critical response to Keeping the Faith in the US was lukewarm, something that angers Norton, who believes that there’s a conspiracy among film critics to keep the younger generation down.”The film critic community in America is dominated by middle-aged, male baby-boomers who really have a reluctance to pass the torch,” moans Norton.”I read something about Keeping the Faith and the guy said something to the effect that Broadcast News was much better – and that’s totally about him saying, ‘It’s not as good as a film made by a guy from my generation’.”Much of his ire stems from the critical mauling his last film, Fight Club, received. By far the most controversial and misunderstood movie of last year, its story of thirty-something males adrift in a world of Ikea furniture and emotion-numbing jobs clearly touched a chord in Norton, whose grandfather invented the epitome of mundane modern life, the shopping mall. “I think Fight Club, among our generation, had an enormous ripple effect,” he states defiantly. “It’s probably my favourite of the films I’ve been involved in.”More than anything, it was a fresh take on a theme that’s been simmering in novels and films for 10 years. “I’ve not tended to respond very much to the Gen-X movies that have come out; they have this banal, low-energy aimlessness, this slacker, angst-driven thing and I always just sit there bored because there’s nothing dramatic about it,” says Norton.

The other home opponents this season include Morgan State, Army, UConn, Syracuse, and Louisville?all games that RU should and must win.If RU can win all seven home games and find a way to get two or three road wins, then the Scarlet Knights put themselves in good shape to win 10 games and go to a decent bowl.Rutgers will most likely need the rest of the conference to beat each other up to finish in the top two, but this could be the year it happens.It’s simple?win and everyone is happy.Lose, and all of a sudden everyone will bash the stadium expansion, and rumors will begin to fly again that head coach Greg Schiano will bolt for Happy Valley.Rutgers is now a legitimate college football program, and the fans shouldn’t have to be content with eight-win seasons.

Andrew STRAUSS Andrew has been in great touch ever since losing his place in the side last winter, scoring regular runs and two centuries. The main reason for the change in form is his technique. I feel the reason he was dropped in the first place was due to playing shots that were quite clearly not in his calibre.Strauss has gone back to playing square of the wicket, where he plays best, rather than trying to force balls straight back past thebowler and getting caught in the slips. 2. Alistair COOK Although not in great form of late, this man has great talent.

With an average over 40 already and centuries under his belt, this is one opener that will be sticking around for a while Also a good slip fielder.3. Micheal VAUGHAN Another player who hasn’t been in good form recently, but his leading skills and batting potential alone will get him onto the team, and he will be hoping to get back those Ashes he won in 2005.4. Kevin PIETERSEN A man who needs no introduction, he’s already got his place in the side and it would take amiracle for him not to be in the side. Even if he was to have bad series all the through until the summer of 2009, he would still have his place because England knows exactly what he’s capable of on his day winning matches on his own!5. Ian BELL The most difficult of all the selections, but the reason he’s in is on what he has produced over the last couple of years.

It was always a race between Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell, but Bell got my vote in the end as he is younger and I feel has more room for improvement.6. Andrew FLINTOFF Man of the series in the last two series for me, and if he’s 100 percent fit, the most important player in the team and the match winner in bothdepartments. Bats at number six although not in great form at the moment, but I feel on the day will come good.7. Matt PRIOR He wins the all-important wicket-keeping place due to being a regular runs scorer and a half-decent keeper.

The coin is what you need to rent a trolley at Malaga airport, though the donor has got its flight plans into something of a twist by suggesting you use it at Marbella airport – a facility that has yet to be built.
The ladies and gentlemen of the press are then taken to the five-star Hotel Don Pepe, and can pick from a wide range of social activities offered by travel companies eager to ply them with hospitality: one invitation requests an RSVP because “you know how much people in travel drink”. On Thursday, many of my colleagues will be flown over to southern Spain courtesy of the Association of British Travel Agents, to attend ABTA’s annual convention in the resort of Marbella. Everything has been taken care of: Manchester airport has even chipped in by posting the hacks a 100-peseta coin with the message “Don’t get your trolleys in a twist”. After all, buying plants successfully is necessarily an exacting and time-consuming business, but it shouldn’t be an endurance test as well..

THE LAST couple of months of each year are happy days for the travel journalist. In the future, I shall look for hardwood garden furniture that bears the recently introduced Forest Stewardship Council logo; this will become more common with time as manufacturers gradually receive certification.A good range of books – laid out in a separate area where people can browse undisturbed, rather than in a thoroughfare – is another sign of a good garden centre.And I certainly do not scorn the cafe, even if its cheery name (The Green- Fingered Gnome, or Percy’s Parlour) makes me wince. Those plants kept under cover should not be visibly dry and wilting, while bulbs have to be kept in airy conditions, away from direct sunlight.I like to see solid evidence of environmental awareness: a reasonable selection of “organic” products among the chemicals and fertiliser sundries; non-peat as well as peat composts and soil enrichers, and barbecue charcoal from British woodlands. Gaps should be filled quickly, but only with the right plants; if the layout system is alphabetical, as it usually is, it is infuriating to have to hunt for viburnum amongst the Hs for hamamelis.The range of plant size on offer should be wide enough for it to be possible for a gardener to keep costs down by buying small, and there should be, in the dormant season, a selection of bare-rooted plants, such as deciduous hedging plants and soft fruit. If a centre cannot keep its own weeds under control, or trees properly staked, it may not necessarily bode ill for the state of the plants on offer, but it is a psychological blow to the customer.

Trees for sale should be tied up properly so that they don’t lean over. Nothing puts me off more quickly, at this time of year; than having to weave my way through a forest of artificial Christmas trees before I can get to the plants. Those plants must appear to be well cared for, and that applies also to the planted beds in the car park. A manned plant information desk, together with a scattering of notices giving specific cultural details, properly informative plant labels, and free leaflets that can be taken home, seem to me to be necessities.

If a garden design service is also offered, so much the better.For me, a good garden centre is one that demonstrably believes that plants are at the centre of the business. Pets, swimming-pools, Christmas decorations, honey, biscuits and barbecues are all very necessary for cash flow, I have no doubt, but if they appear more important than plants, forget it. What is needed is, to adapt a phrase, information, information, information.Among any garden-centre clientele will be a substantial minority of novices, and if they feel intimidated or ill-informed or neglected, they may never bother with gardening again. This means both that, in theory at least, they are individualist and can respond to local needs, especially of soil and climate, but also that they vary a good deal in quality. So how do you know whether your local garden centre is a good one or not? This is a pertinent question at this time of year, when many gardeners are hard at work stocking – or restocking – their gardens.With garden centres, size does not always matter, although there are obvious advantages to a large site if it means that there is space for a wide range of plants and other goods.Far more important is whether there is a knowledgeable and helpful, and visible, workforce prepared to answer questions. These retain the old plant nursery atmosphere but tend to appeal to a knowledgeable clientele Not all gardeners feel that they are that.

Loney…The Los Angeles Dodgers have a very unique hitter on their hands.James Loney is hitting at a ridiculously better clip on the road than at home in Dodger Stadium.In fact, he is having a historic year as far as power numbers go while batting away from home. Take a special look at his homers and RBI on the road all of his home runs have come away from the Southland, and he has nearly 20 more RBI in four fewer games on the road.   GBAOBPSLGHRRBIBBSOHome74.245.317.3030352933Away70.311.389.49312513526  So let’s put a little historical perspective on this issue. Chargers’ Defense/Special Teams (159)- As usual, I waited until the third-to-last round to take a defense.

The notes were redeemed for primarily cash on December 1,2008. The tag team main event was not very good, either.Add that in with WWE’s predictable decision to make John Cena beat the clock and face Randy Orton in a SS 2007 rematch left me feeling bored.I did think the divas match foreshadowed a possible Gail Kim heel turn (which has been in talks with Maryse undergoing knee surgery again). I really wanted to include Jeff Francoeur because of his desire to swing at every pitch, but the OF/1B/DH logjam made it impossible.Frenchy would have been that typical guy on the team that doesn’t quite fit the mold, but is always there…the young guy who has a ton of talent, and makes you think he might have a shot at at least a minor league career.Gomes, however, is a great fit for a beer league team.He’s got enough sense in the field to handle RF, but he’s still a guy who’s game is predicated on power and nothing much else.I could have went a lot of ways on this one, and thought long and hard about Adam Dunn.Gomes took the spot in a close call.HM: Dunn, Berkman, Kearns, Frenchy. He finished his career with a 79.9 quarterback rating.He led Denver to five Super Bowls and won two; at Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, Elway was named Super Bowl MVP.

) In a year in which 90 amateurs demanded 1st round money, and during an economic downturn in which a studly baseball hunk like Jay Gibbons has to play for the Newark Whoseewhatsits, ” sign-ability” was unsurprisingly the biggest factor in the MLB draft on Tuesday.Except for the Nationals at No. This is nothing to get excited about.Evan Longoria is due to rejoin the Rays lineup on Saturday.  Thankfully he is not going on the Disabled List with the tightness in his hamstring.

Fogarty embarrassed the factory teams and was taken into the fold.He won the championship in 1994 and 1995 and was lured away from Ducati to Honda by the prospect of “something different” and a contract reportedly worth pounds 500,000. That something different was not to his liking and he returned to Ducati last season reportedly collecting pounds 750,000 in the process.Fogarty was more competitive but not sufficiently so to defy his nemesis, John Kocinski. It’s nice to feel I’m partly responsible for that, as well as the TV and everything.”If I was going to grand prix I should have gone in the early ’90s, and if I had I would have won races and possibly the world championship Everything I’ve done I’ve won Every level It wouldn’t have been any different in grand prix. If he comes to my class I’ll beat him, and if I go there he’ll beat me.”It’s something that doesn’t worry me too much because I know what I do and what I win is important. I get paid well to do it.”I just grew up with Superbikes and in this country Superbikes is bigger than grand prix They’re not interested in grand prix here. I was in a championship that became really big, so it had to be a good offer to take me away.”Outside of motorcycle racing people still see grand prix as the thing, and I can understand that because it’s such a long-running thing. But the only difference between me and Mick Doohan is that he is a champion of 500cc and I’m a champion of Superbikes.

He is as comfortable on Superbikes as he is living within a few gear changes of his family and friends in the Blackburn area. “I never really got a good chance or definite offer in grand prix racing,” says Fogarty, a small, wiry figure “And it didn’t really matter somehow. He shares the lead after the opening round, in Australia, with Japan’s Noriyuki Haga.
Fogarty is a home boy by nature and that is part of his appeal to the fans The main part is that he is a British winner. IF YOU have ever wondered why a man who has been palpably the best rider in a decade of World Superbikes never committed himself to the historically acknowledged masterclass of 500cc grand prix racing, a glance around his country pad provides instant enlightenment.

A converted farmhouse, stables and racy car with personalised number plates confirm Carl Fogarty has done very nicely for himself, thank you, out of motorcycling’s brash, upstart world series. Equally, the brash, upstart world series has done very nicely, thank you, out of Carl Fogarty. A crowd of almost 70,000 was drawn to Brands Hatch last summer to support Fogarty’s cause, dwarfing the attendance at the traditional blue riband bike event, the British Grand Prix, which has, for years, been the domain of foreign riders. Upwards of 50,000 are likely to rally behind Fogarty at Donington Park on Monday, when he seeks to open a clear advantage in his pursuit of a third championship. Whether Moorcroft can re-draft the design of British athletics will depend upon the co-operation he receives from the hitherto jealous guardians of geographical power bases It comes down to a matter of faith..

There would be “better coaching education, general information, medical advice and support for athletes”, who would all benefit from closer links between clubs and newly formed, smaller regions, operating under a slimmed-down, but (eye on Sports Council observer) accountable UK policy and support unit…Moorcroft said that if no viable structure was in place within a year to generate grants, detrimental effects would start to be felt increasingly throughout the sport.For Britain’s most successful Olympic sport, there are no easy answers and no short cuts – dogged progress is the name of the game at the moment.A blank piece of paper can be the scariest thing in the world. I’m tired of discussing the doping problem.”The response elicited by the club athlete lacked Nebiolo’s succinctness, but it was as energetic as a willing sheepdog.The management consultant promised that the plans for development of the sport at grass roots would change the life of the average club. “Why,” he asked, “do we need all this?”Had the question been asked of the International Amateur Athletic Federation’s president, Primo Nebiolo, it would doubtless have received the kind of treatment meted out to press enquiries before last year’s World Championships.Pressed on details of the IAAF’s decision to reduce punishments for drug offences, the autocratic Italian eventually responded: “I regret to tell you I do not remember. A personal favourite – “The need for functionality was felt to be the most important driver there.”One question, however, rolled threateningly towards the planners with pin removed.

Eight minutes into the second half, Steffen Iversen, on the 18-yard line, spun superbly to leave his marker behind and only the sharp reactions of James kept Villa’s deficit at one goal. From 30 yards his shot zipped and then dipped, clipping the underside of the bar on its way in.Now Tottenham were empowered and Villa wary. David Ginola, the focal point of their Boxing Day win over Watford, found himself shackled wherever he tried to find space. In those circumstances, therefore, the impact of Sherwood’s goal a minute before the break could not have been more stunning.Villa dropped their guard for just a moment – but it was enough for Sherwood, in space, to look up and see that David James had ventured a little forward of his line. Merson floated a free-kick for Taylor to head back across goal, Joachim met it in the air, Walker saved one-handed and Carr hoofed the ball away a third time.Tottenham, overrun in midfield, could hardly escape their own half. After 17 minutes, his pace brought more panic in the Tottenham defence. Joachim linked well with Paul Merson and Steve Watson on the right, Walker failed to grasp his shot and only Stephen Carr’s intervention on the goal-line prevented Taylor putting Villa ahead.Then Carbone made his mark, robbing Mauricio Taricco and battling past Sol Campbell before Carr again rescued Graham’s side.How Tottenham were grateful to their Irish international full-back.

Five minutes before half-time it was his boot which executed another desperate clearance. Their confidence boosted by the rare experience of winning two Premiership matches in a row, Villa may have lost Dion Dublin from the sharp end of their attack but few defences can relish facing the combination of Julian Joachim and Benito Carbone.Joachim soon imposed his presence, bringing Ian Walker into action after only seven minutes to tip a fine header over his crossbar. However, Ian Taylor’s goal 15 minutes from time gained them only a draw after Tim Sherwood had given Tottenham a surprise first-half lead.
George Graham’s insistence that Villa would test his side’s resilience was born out from the start. I did not receive other offers, and, if it appears there was some type of negotiation, that was with Barcelona officials and not with me.”. Aston Villa 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1

A YEAR of unfulfilled dreams for Aston Villa ended with a fight for a point. John Gregory’s side, who began 1999 with high expectations at the top of the Premiership only to fade dramatically, roused a Villa Park full house with a determined attempt to keep their recent revival going.

He has no wish to go there or anywhere.”Rivaldo, the European Footballer of the Year, said in Brazil yesterday that he would be staying at Barcelona till 2003 when his contract finishes at the Catalonian club.The news will disappoint Manchester United and the Italian sides Parma, Roma, Internazionale and Lazio, who were all reportedly interested in signing the pounds 39m-rated player after he was dropped by Barca following a dispute with their Dutch coach, Louis van Gaal.Rivaldo, who is with his family in Recife, in north-east Brazil, for Christmas, told journalists: “I am very happy and satisfied at Barcelona and I will not be changing team. Pires believes the time it would take him to adapt to life in England could cost him at national level.Marseilles have themselves failed to lure the Moroccan midfielder Moustapha Hadji from Coventry City. Bryan Richardson, City’s chairman, said: “An agent rang me and I said `absolutely no way’ but we soon discovered that Mous had been contacted direct beforehand. He told them that he was not interested and is extremely happy at Coventry.

Now he will have talks about his future at Villa but their manager, John Gregory, insists the former England striker has no part in his plans.Robert Pires, Marseilles’s attacking midfielder, claimed yesterday that he had been approached by Arsenal, but he is afraid that if he leaves France he will jeopardise his chances of playing for his country in Euro 2000. He could not understand how Sunderland could have played on Tuesday night in perfect conditions and yet Boro had been caught out.. STAN COLLYMORE’S move to Montpellier has collapsed after the troubled striker refused to play in a practice match. The 28-year-old had flown to France to discuss a potential move to the struggling First Division club, but Montpellier’s general manager, Michel Mezy, said Collymore refused to play in a specially arranged game.
Mezy is quoted on Aston Villa’s official website as saying: “I don’t think he will join the club – I organised a match to have a look at him and he did not want to play.”On Tuesday, Collymore said he was looking forward to the chance to begin a new career abroad. However, the frost had unexpectedly set in by early Sunday morning.Coventry’s chairman, Bryan Richardson, expressed disappointment at the postponement as the squad had already travelled north. He was looking for a fee in the region of pounds 7m but the decision may be taken out of his hands as Albion are losing about pounds 15,000 a week.If Albion say no they also run the risk of missing out on a large fee for Hughes as his form has dipped this season and the goals have dried up with the team struggling.Middlesbrough’s Premiership match against Coventry City yesterday was called off because of a frozen pitch, even though the club has a special tent which is inflated over the ground to avoid such problems.A spokesman for the club said the tent had been up since late Sunday morning after the Meteorological Office had advised the club that a frost would set in on Sunday evening.

They are valued at around pounds 2m together.Hughes is Albion’s main asset and their manager, Brian Little, will be reluctant to let him go unless he has to. He failed a second test in 1993 and earned a lifetime ban.Last month, Johnson, 38, registered another positive test for a banned diuretic that he said he took for a legitimate medical reason. He is trying to get the latest result overturned and gain reinstatement to compete again.. BRYAN ROBSON is trying to sign Lee Hughes from West Bromwich Albion for pounds 5m as the Middlesbrough manager wants a replacement striker for Hamilton Ricard, who goes on international duty next month. Robson has offered pounds 3m plus two players for the prolific Hughes in the hope that the First Division club will be forced to sell because of financial problems, even though he is offering less than he was prepared to pay for Hughes last summer.
Robson, who has scoured Europe in his search for a striker, is ready to include the winger Allan Moore and the striker Andy Campbell, who is also a target for Huddersfield, in the package deal. Johnson also talked of the armed guards who accompany him everywhere. “Even when I go down to the lobby, they come with me,” he said.Johnson set the 100m world record at the 1988 Olympics but was stripped of the title and the record after the doping test.
