hen I started out, I had to struggle for success. But nowadays, I think technology has made it easy for anyone to be a DJ. That’s both good and bad – on the one hand you have more competition out there but on the other, you have people that are in this scene for all the wrong reasons and not necessarily contributing anything. Also, illegal mp3 download sites have driven profits down, so DJs have to tour these days if they want to make a good living.

“T

hai hermit yoga” has come out of its shell thanks to a new website displaying the postures – known to Thais as rusie dotton – in animated 3D form. The Science and Technology and Public Health ministries yesterday launched www.RusieDotton.thai.net, enabling people to practise the healing art in their own home.

Wonder of Wat Pho The centuries-old tradition of hermit yoga was first recorded at Wat Pho, where its wisdom is displayed in 127 postured statues accompanied by inscriptions.

Fifteen of these postures have been digitised as 3D animations on the website. “Guided by the government’s ETC (Economy, Technology, Culture) concept, we’ve combined the nation’s store of traditional wisdom with technology,” said Science and Technology Minister Kalaya Sophonpanich. She said that the hermit yoga website was also a tribute to Wat Pho, which was given global heritage status in 2008 under Unesco’s Memory of the World project and is considered the country’s oldest seat of learning. “Wire-frame, polygon, motion-capture and rendering techniques have been used to

digitise the postures,” said National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre director Pansak Siriruchatapong, whose team worked on the website for more than a year. “The project helps preserve the country’s unique yoga tradition and also gives

people across the world easy access to the health-giving practice.” Deputy Public Health Minister Manit Nopamornbodee said he would like to see more and more Thais visit the website to practise the postures, which can help ease muscular aches and pains.

Next up, muay thai “We plan to spread the message with an English translation – and maybe Chinese and Japanese in the future. We are also hoping that a public TV channel – probably NBT – will broadcast the postures,” said Manit. The ministries’ next plan is to give muay thai the same website treatment to promote the traditional martial art as a form of exercise.

Prince Charles salutes the colours as Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, looks on during a ceremony at the Black Watch Regiment on Tuesday in Montreal, Canada. lavish welcoming ceremony that was prepared for them. The demonstration was organised by the Quebecois Network of Resistance, a small Quebec nationalist group opposing two-and-a-half centuries of British rule in Canada.

Earlier on Tuesday, Charles met in Ottawa with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who gave him two red sweaters and caps worn by Inuit Rangers to take home to his sons as souvenirs of his visit.

Los Angeles judge has dismissed a bid by Michael Jackson’s father to challenge the two businessmen appointed executors of the pop icon’s estate. Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Joe Jackson, 81, had no basis to challenge the appointment of administrators John Branca and John McClain because he had been excluded from his son’s will. “Mr Jackson takes nothing under this estate,” Beckloff said. “That was a decision his son made. I don’t see how he’s affected by the appointment of Branca or McClain as executors.” Beckloff noted that although Joe Jackson had claimed entitlement to a family allowance, he had been excluded from assets from his son’s estate in a 2002 will. Joe Jackson’s lawyer Brian Oxman also criticised the singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, and her new attorney for dropping her own objections to the appointment of McClain and Branca.

STREAM OF CONSCIENCE Suthichai Yoon explores the parable of the Mekong in a documentary that’s screening tomorrow night

Suthichai Yoon travelled the length of the Mekong, tracing the waterway from its source in Tibet to the delta in southern Vietnam, talking to people along the way about their lives on the river.

D A I LY X P R E S S

nlike any reporting Suthichai Yoon has ever done, “Echo from the Well: I Can Hear the Mekong Weep” screens tomorrow as part of the World Film Festival of Bangkok. The documentary not only gives voice to the people living along the length of the river, it affords The Nation’s founder and group chief editor an opportunity for self-discovery. Director Pipope Panichapakdi has stitched into the film glimpses of Suthichai’s childhood as they journey from the Mekong’s source in Tibet to its mouth in Vietnam. “But this isn’t Suthichai’s biography,” says Pipope. “It’s more Suthichai’s transformation.”

What the young man never understood, he learned on this late-life odyssey. Originally broadcast in 10 episodes on the Modernine show “Cheepajorn Loke”, the documentary has been revamped as a 90-minute feature about the way the people of six nations live in peaceful coexistence, linked by the benefits and challenges of the Mekong.

Well now The “well” of the movie’s title refers to communal sharing in a sustainable, collectively managed manner. Suthichai picked up on the symbolism of the well during the film crew’s visit to Luang Prabang in Laos, where he spoke to people

about China damming the river upstream. Suthichai recalled his childhood days on a rubber plantation, when all the water came from a single, shared village well. Everyone helped maintain it, and no one took more water than his due. This notion, however, doesn’t apply to the Mekong. Having identified the problems facing the river, the film also offers tangible proposals for its survival as a viable waterway and resource. Pipope says the documentary employs Nation-style journalism, “but it’s not too serious or too artistic”. “I believe this film can entertain an audience as well as any other.”

Sinjai’s reply made her an instant target of Thaksin fans. Nasty tweets came pouring in, including some personal attacks. Not to worry: Someone called “wutta” summoned the Sinjai army with a post on Pantip.com the next morning, and the cavalry came riding to the rescue with a barrage of supportive texting.

Really for the birds A couple of dedicated ornithologists set up to record the feathered natives and visitors to their county By Louis Sahagun LOS ANGELES TIMES

n a rainy weekday morning, Tom and Jo Heindel stride to the top of a hill at the edge of Big Pine, California, and savour the panoramic views below for a moment. Then Tom, 73, and Jo, 71, get down to business. “A few dozen scaup, 10 eared grebes, 12 Clark’s grebes, 20 canvasbacks and a Northern harrier gliding low and fast,” says Jo, peering through a spotting scope. “Got it,” says Tom, transcribing the information on a tally sheet spread across the hood of their white mini-pickup truck.

Theirs is a love story that dates to a spring day in 1953 when Tom, 16, asked Jo, 14, out on their first date – bird watching in the Santa Monica Mountains. Thus began the ornithological passion that has carried the Heindels through 55 years of marriage and careers as high school science teachers in the United States, Bolivia, Ecuador and Saudi Arabia. But the most significant and enduring contribution of the relationship – one Jo likes to call a “menage a trois”, with birds being the third party – began in 1972 as a plan to produce a little guide to the birds of the eastern Sierra.

A kildeer is reflected near the shore of Klondike Lake.

Jo Heindel scans for birds near Big Pine Indian Reservation.

Now the Heindels are nearing completion of what has grown into a 500-page draft manuscript of a comprehensive scientific survey of every species and subspecies ever documented in Inyo County over the last 150 years. The tentative title: “The Status and Distribution of the Birds of Inyo County Including Death Valley National Park”. The 200,000-plus entries document species, behaviour, date, time, temperature, wind direction – even the make and power of the binoculars or telescope used by the observers. They also include the first recorded sightings of a particu-

lar species, its highest recorded elevation and whether it is a resident, migrant or summer visitor. The Heindels say their project has cost them tens of thousands of dollars for computer equipment, file cabinets, travel, phone calls, research materials, cameras and scopes – not to mention time. “If we took minimum pay for all the time we’ve put into it,” says Jo, “we could pay off the federal debt.” Now, with the book “95 percent done”, Tom adds, ornithologists have been urging them to shop for a publisher. The Heindels’ book will be among the most ambitious of

its kind published in the last 50 years, experts say. “There are thousands of counties in the United States, yet most states do not have a single county bird book,” says James Van Remsen of Louisiana State University’s Museum of Natural Science. “So I really admire the Heindels for making this rare contribution: an all-out description of avifauna in one of the largest counties.” On a recent weekday afternoon, Tom and Jo peer through binoculars at nearby Klondike Lake. “Bingo!” Jo shouts. “Pacific loon loafing near a common loon. It’s a juvenile.” Tom smiles. “Amazing, Jo. Might be the only one we see all year. “There is still so much we don’t know about birds around here,” he continues. “But I’ll never forget the most beautiful bird I’ve ever seen. I was 16 at the time. She was 14.”

More than one million runners in South Korea are addicted to exercise, figures reveal

That numb feeling By Ahn Mi Young DEUTSCHE PRESSE-AGENTUR Seoul

ym experts warn that runners should be careful not to become obsessed with their running routines. In South Korea for example, several million people spend at least one hour a day running, walking or riding bikes. According to 2008 data from the Korea Statistics Office, about 38.3 per cent of people aged over 15 tend to exercise at least once a week. At least 200 marathons are held in the Asian country every year and there are hundreds of bike-riding circles. Gym experts say that running or walking for about 30 minutes two or three times a week can keep the doctor away. Running generates endorphins in our bodies and gives us an energy

boost. It’s often said that running could be a way to reduce suicides in South Korea, a country where suicide is among the major causes of death. Like everything else, however, too much of a good thing could cause adverse effects. If you cannot stop running even after you limp with aching knees or joints or if you feel depressed or nervous without running every day, it’s likely that running has become an addiction. Doctors say that the endorphins that your body naturally produces from a workout will make you feel the runner’s high, easing stress and improving your fitness. If you can control your desire to run, there’s no problem. In many cases, however, the more frequently you are running or the longer and the harder you are running,

health tips

the greater desire you have to be in the runner’s high, says Shin Myung Gang, a doctor at Yonse SK Hospital. Withdrawal symptoms may appear if you don’t exercise for a couple of days, causing you to feel angry, depressed, tense, uncomfortable or even guilty about yourself. Doctors warn that addicts sometimes cannot sleep well or else eat too much. The Korea Statistical Office estimates that the country has about one million exercise addicts who would exhibit withdrawal symptoms without their daily workouts. Doctors advise exercise addicts to relax. “You need to pace yourself when others bolt ahead at unsustainable speeds. Above all, don’t let your runner’s high desire take over.”

A good night’s sleep By Linda Searing SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON POST

Might losing weight improve the disturbed breathing known as obstructive sleep apnea? A recent study involved 264 obese people, all with diabetes, who were randomly assigned to an intensive weight-loss programme or a diabetes education and management programm. About three-quarters of them had mild or moderate sleep apnea, and the rest had more severe cases. The weight-loss group followed a strictly regulated diet and exercised

moderately for about three hours a week; the others attended three informational sessions on diet, physical activity and social support. After a year, those in the weight-loss group had lost, on average, 11 kilograms, compared with an average 1kg for the others. The percentage of those in the weight-loss group who still had severe apnea was about half that of those in the other group. In the US, about 12 million people – men more than women – suffer from sleep apnea, and about half of them are overweight.

ASTROLOGY

By Eugenia Last

Today’s Birthday: You have to follow your own path. Change is good, so take every opportunity to experience new activities and events, especially if it will add to your wisdom, skills and goals. A hidden matter regarding someone you like will be revealed and can lead to an alteration in your lifestyle.

Yesterday’s Puzzle Answer Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

ARIES *** March 21-April 19 Just because you are known for your ability to get things done doesn’t mean you should let anyone take advantage of you. Do the things that will benefit you most. You have the upper hand this time, so act accordingly. TAURUS *** April 20-May 20 You cannot put up with anyone trying to derail your position or your plans. Someone you have worked with in the past will stand up for you. Don’t let your emotions hold you back. GEMINI ***** May 21-June 20 Any challenge should be met with open arms. Refuse to let someone negative ruin your train of thought. Someone who shows an interest in you will also inspire you to do well.

DIFFICULTY RATING ★★★★

CANCER ** June 21-July 22 A bad mood can ruin your plans and set you on a downward spiral. Social activity must be part of your day or you will miss meeting people and making new friends. LEO **** July 23-Aug. 22 Find out what’s really going on. Someone is not telling you the whole story. Without knowing the facts you cannot assess the situation. Distance yourself and you will see things differently.

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY

VIRGO *** Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Take everyone by surprise by doing something that they least expect. You will end up in a power position that can help you out professionally or personally. You don’t need backup to be successful. LIBRA *** Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Consider what’s important and what’s not and you will have a much better view of your situation and what you must do to be successful. Things may be moving a little fast for you but don’t shy away. SCORPIO *** Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Your reputation counts for something and you may need to pull strings to ensure that everyone knows what you have to offer. Speak from the heart and you will stop any misconceptions. SAGITTARIUS **** Nov. 22-Dec. 21 You may want to take a break and let things ride for now. If you are too vocal about what you want to do or have others do, you will make enemies. Before you make a decision, rethink your strategy.

AQUARIUS **** Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Impulse purchases and people wanting to borrow will lead to stress. Talk to people who are moneywise and you will get a better understanding of how to make your money work for you. Quit bad habits. PISCES *** Feb. 19-March 20 You may want to pick a fight or blame someone for something that probably is just as much your fault. Look at the big picture and you will realise what you have to lose by being difficult.

Danai, Tamarine come good

Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne has added to the pressure on France coach Raymond Domenech ahead of Saturday’s World Cup play-off by claiming the under-fire boss is messing up his team. Domenech has become increasingly unpopular in recent months as France failed to claim an automatic qualification place for next year’s World Cup finals. “Every time a tournament comes round, France have all these world-class players and then a man who seems intent on messing them up,” Dunne said. “Over the last World Cups and European Championships, things have not run smoothly for France. It [Domenech’s management] could be a weakness or it could be a big smokescreen.” – AFP

Thailand needed to win the decisive doubles match to clinch a 2-1 victory over South Korea in the first preliminary round of the Asian Hopman Cup at the National Tennis Centre Astana, Kazakhstan, yesterday. Tamarine Tanasugarn got off to a great start by beating Kim Kun-hee 6-2 6-2, but the ailing Danai Udomchoke – who is suffering from a torn right arm muscle – lost to Yong-Kyu Lim 6-4 6-3. Tammy and Danai relied on their experience to beat the South Korean opponents 6-4 6-3 to win the mixed doubles. Tomorrow, in the second preliminary round, Thailand face a tough task against top seed Taiwan, who are represented by Lu Yen-hsun and Hsieh Su-wei.

iger Woods finished his first full practice round yesterday in front another massive crowd at Kingston Heath on the eve of the Australian Masters. The sun-baked fans let out a cheer when Woods pulled his driver from the bag, a rarity here on the shortest golf course he has played all year. That doesn’t mean Kingston Heath, a par 72 at a mere 7,059 yards, will be his easiest test. Woods played in the pro-am, picking his spots around the sandbelt course that is framed beautifully by bunkers and native brush. “He’s going to have to show some of his best stuff playing around a course like this,” Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy said. “He’s going to have to play smart, play imaginative golf and stuff. That’s what he has really been good at the last few years, especially shaping his ball around and playing proper golf ... old-style golf. I think it’s going to be fun to watch.” There won’t be a shortage of

people watching. The Australian Masters has been sold out for months, not long after it was announced that Woods was receiving a $3 million appearance fee for his first individual tournament Down Under since the Australian Masters at nearby Huntingdale in 1997. That was two months before Woods, who was 21, captured his first major by winning the Masters by 12 strokes. He now has 14 major championships and victories in 12 countries – but not yet in Australia. Even so, the bookies have installed him as the heavy favourite at Kingston Heath. The Masters gets under way today, with Woods playing alongside defending champion Rod Pampling and fellow Australian Craig Parry, who won the last time Woods competed in this part of the world. That was the New Zealand Open in 2002. “A good omen for me,” Parry said. Woods is coming off a share of sixth place last week in Shanghai at the HSBC Champions, where he started two shots out of the lead and in the final group only to falter

with a 72 to finish five behind Phil Mickelson. As well as Huntingdale, Woods’ only other experience in Melbourne was at Royal Melbourne in 1998 for the Presidents Cup. “Some local knowledge helps around here,” Adam Scott said. “But if anyone can figure it out, Tiger Woods obviously can. He’s the best player in the world and he’s playing well. There’s no question he’s the man to beat this week.” Woods didn’t even try to reach the 294-yard sixth, one of the signature holes at Kingston Heath. Instead, he hit a stinger 3-wood and tried to run the ball into the front bunker, missing his target and winding up in the gallery just left of the green. Why not the driver? Woods laughed, noting it would be impossible to keep a ball on the greens, which are expected to get even firmer under sunny conditions with temperatures approaching 90 F (32 C). “I’d wind up in the bushes,” he said. “He is clearly the favourite going into almost any tournament he plays,” Geoff Ogilvy said of Woods. “But the clear favourite doesn’t always win.”

unters have rushed to place bets on US golf star Tiger Woods in the Australian Masters, bookmakers said yesterday, including one fan who has A$100,000 (US$92,925) riding on the event. Sportingbet Australia betting manager Bill Richmond said the man had placed the wager at A$2.60 for a win and stood to take home A$260,000 if the US golfer won at Kingston Heath. Richmond said the extra publicity for the tournament had boosted bets, but the biggest factor was superstar Woods. “It’s absolutely the Tiger factor, it’s been huge,” he told AFP. He said bets for the European Tour co-sanctioned event had at least doubled because of Woods. “We’ve seen a huge increase in terms of the number and sizes of bet from the punters. Certainly it’s more than double what we would normally do,” he said. “Punters just have a lot more faith in backing Tiger than any other golfer.” Bookmakers have installed the world No 1 a prohibitive 6/4 favourite to claim his career 93rd tournament victory in the tournament which begins today.

GOALIE ENKE KILLED Police confirm Hannover player left farewell note AGENCIES, Berlin

erman police have confirmed they have discovered a farewell note written by Germany goalkeeper Robert Enke, who died in an apparent suicide on Tuesday after being hit by an express train near Hanover. “I can confirm that there is a farewell letter but out of respect to the family, we will not say anything more,” Lower Saxony police spokesman Stefan Wittke said. The 32-year-old was hit by the train as it passed through a crossing at Neustadt-Eilvese on its route between Hamburg and Bremen. Police said the Hannover 96 captain’s car, parked metres away from the tracks, was unlocked and his wallet still inside. The two train drivers reported seeing a man on the tracks and applied the brakes while travelling at about 100mph but could not stop in time, police reported. Enke was pronounced dead at the scene. The German football federation yesterday called off training for Saturday’s international friendly against Chile, putting the match in doubt. “The training planned for this morning has been cancelled as have all interview appointments,” the national body said. “More information will be available later in the day.” A news conference is due to take place in the coming hours, while the German national team in Bonn are also planning to address the media later in the day.

Germany’s goalkeeper Robert Enke killed himself at a level crossing in the small town of Neustadt. Oliver Bierhoff said: “We are all shocked. We are lost for words.” Hannover’s president, Martin Kind, said the goalkeeper had been “unstable” recently but that it had not been publicly noticed. Enke’s daughter Lara died in 2006 of a rare heart condition when she was two. He leaves a wife, Teresa, and an eightmonth-old daughter they had adopted in May. Enke had been diagnosed with a bacterial stomach virus several weeks ago and did not play for Hannover for two months, although he reappeared for Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Hamburg. He was not selected for the friendlies against Chile and Ivory Coast next Wednesday although

I ‘M STUNNED.I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. Michael Ballack Germany captain Germany’s coach, Joachim Loew, had said Enke – who won eight caps after making his debut in 2007, the last of them against Azerbaijan in August – remained the leading candidate to be his No 1 in South Africa. Enke made 196 Bundesliga appearances, also playing for

Borussia M?nchengladbach after starting in east Germany with Jena. He had spells at Tenerife, Fenerbahce, Barcelona and Benfica. Fans gathered at Hannover’s stadium to lay flowers and light candles at the gates in memory of their captain, who had been with the club since 2004, while other high profile figures from Enke’s career also paid tribute. The former Germany captain and coach Franz Beckenbauer said “I am infinitely sad. When you receive news like this all other problems pale into insignificance.” The Schalke striker Kevin Kuranyi told Bild newspaper: “This can and must not be true. Robert was such a great bloke.”

England forward Peter Crouch has vowed to avoid any more nightclub high jinx as he tries to keep his World Cup dream alive. Crouch was photographed on a wild evening out with Tottenham teammate Jonathan Woodgate and model girlfriend Abbey Clancy at London’s trendy Movida bar after his club’s Premier League win over Portsmouth last month. The former Liverpool striker was snapped on the dance floor reviving the ‘robot’ goal celebration which made him a cult hero with England fans and sticking his head out of a taxi as he was driven home from the club. Those kind of antics will hardly sit well with notoriously strict England coach Fabio Capello, who has been known to punish players for being late for dinner, let alone letting their hair down in such spectacular fashion. Crouch revealed that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp reacted to the incident with a typically brusque put-down, but Capello is less likely to take such an understanding attitude, especially if there are any repeats before next year’s finals in South Africa. With competition for places in Capello’s squad hotting up now the qualifying campaign is over, Crouch knows he must keep out of trouble.“Yes, of course I think about how Capello will react. He’s not said anything to me. Harry said ‘You’re an idiot, move on.’ Quite straight forward,” said Crouch. “I’ve not covered myself in glory, but I haven’t killed anyone, although I feel like I have.”

Real Madrid crash out of cup against third-tier club AP, Madrid

Real Madrid’s Rafael Van der Vaart after scoring.

eal Madrid crashed out of the Copa del Rey after losing 4-1 on aggregate to third-tier club Alcorcon on Tuesday. Madrid won 1-0 at home at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after losing 4-0 in the first leg two weeks ago. Madrid, who have not won the competition since 1993, also lost in the second round last year to another thirddivision club – Real Irun.

“There’s a nice party going on in the locker room,” Alcorcon coach Juan Antonio Anquela said. “We achieved a dream. To beat Madrid is a dream.” Madrid showed little spark against a solid Alcorcon unit, bringing to an end any hopes of matching Barcelona’s treblewinning campaign of last season, with Rafael Van der Vaart earning the lone goal in the 81st minute after latching on to a

loose ball. Earlier Tuesday, Madrid president Florentino Perez said a trophyless season would not be a “disaster” despite having spent more than US$363 million on players this off-season. He also said that coach Manuel Pellegrini would finish the season, despite crowd chants calling for his firing. Pellegrini twice avoided answering direct questions about that moment, which came in

the 70th minute after he took midfielder Lassana Diarra off. “The public was upset because of [Diarra’s] exit. I understand that ... he had a good game,” the Chilean said. “To lose to a team in the third division can’t be considered an achievement.” Jeers rang out from the capacity crowd when Marcelo came on for the hardworking Diarra.

Thailand hit the wall against Dominican Republic to stay winless after two American champions Dominican Republic recovered from a disastrous first set to beat a feisty Thai team in four dramatic sets in the FIVB World Grand Cup at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gym in Japan yesterday. The disappointing 14-25 25-20 25-21 28-26 loss to their fellow debutants was the third consecutive defeat for Thailand to the world No 14 team. Thailand lost against them 3-2 in the 2007

World Cup in Japan and in straight sets at last year’s World Olympic Qualification Tournament. Both sides are making their debut in the top-flight competition. In September, Dominican Republic powered past Puerto Rico 3-2 to capture the Norceca (North and Central America) crown for the first time, while Thailand matched the feat by stunning perennial superpowers

Despite yesterday’s defeat, Thai head coach Kiattipong Radchatagriengkai was happy with his team’s display. “We must give the Dominicans plenty of credit for their performance.

Jeev boost for Asian team

Ending troubled season on a high, Ratthapark predicts podiums next year

atthapark “Feem” Wilairot is hoping the introduction of the Moto2 class next season will bring a change in his fortunes. The Thai Honda PTT SAG rider ended his third world championship campaign in 13th place overall with 81 points from his 250cc races. The 21-year-old finished in exactly the same spot last season but the fact that he managed to score eight more points made the outcome more satisfying than it appears. Ratthapark, who hit a season-ending high in the Valencia Grand Prix by equalling his career-best result (a fifth-place), returned home yesterday to a warm welcome from a crowd of fans and media at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The Thai rider was philosophical about his up-anddown season. “I’m satisfied with my overall performance. I had good results in the early part of the season but engine problems in the middle put paid to my campaign. “I also had no luck on the track, with accidents forcing me out of several races. Given the circumstances, my final position was okay. “If I hadn’t had such bad luck, my ranking would have

But I see it all as a valuable lesson which I can use help me progress. “Racing is full of obstacles, but without personally experiencing them, there’s no way of finding a way past.” Ratthapark believes that a new door of oportunity will open for him in the next campaign, when Moto2, the fourstroke 600cc class, makes it debut in place of the 250cc category. “We’ll be on a level playing field since everyone will start from zero with a new bike. But I might have a little advantage

over other riders, as I raced with a four-stroke engine early on in my career. So, my chance to grab a first-ever podium finish will come next year. “I’ve already test-ridden a Moto2 bike. Everything was fine but I still have to get adjusted to it.” AP Honda executive Alakh Phornprapha promised that his company would support the Thai rider in his bid for a successful season next year. “We will give him the best machine and every opportunity to succeed,” he said.

In a strong response to Seve Ballesteros’ construction of a formidable European team to challenge Asia’s stewardship of the Royal Trophy, Asian team captain Naomichi “Joe” Ozaki has nominated Jeev Milkha Singh as his sixth player for the title defence. The 37-year-old Singh is one of Asia’s most successful golfers and will bring wily experience to Ozaki’s young golfing battalion. The Chandigarh native is a two-time Asian Tour Order of Merit champion and the winner of six Asian Tour titles. He has clinched four Japan Tour events and prevailed in two European Tour tournaments – including the prestigious Volvo European Masters, previously played at the golfing mecca of Valderrama in Spain. “I am very excited to join the Asian team for the fourth edition of the Royal Trophy. The Europeans will certainly have a very strong team but we are representing the Asian continent and we will play with due passion, dedication and determination,” said Singh, who brings to the mix his experience as an Asian Match Play Championship winner. “I am familiar with the course at Amata Spring and I enjoy playing in Thailand,” he added.

REVOLTING

Manchester City’s disaffected Robinho has made no secret of his desire to join Barcelona.

Manchester City’s attempts to placate Robinho and keep the most expensive footballer in England happy have failed, with the Brazilian desperate to leave in the January transfer window. City are aware of his position and, despite strong denials on their mid-season training camp here in the United Arab Emirates, they have reluctantly accepted that the player whose £32.5 million transfer was supposed to symbolise the club’s ambitions wants no further part in the revolution. Fourteen months after breaking the English transfer record to join the club from Real Madrid, Robinho is now so unsettled he has informed his advisers he does not “want another day in Manchester”. Mark Hughes, the City manager, described the revelation last night as “people making mischief” but, behind the scenes, he has known for a long time that Robinho is disaffected and, grudgingly, the club have started the search for a possible replacement. Angel Di Maria of Benfica has been identified among the leading candidates and has a £27 million buyout clause in his contract. The question now seems to be when, rather than if, Robinho leaves. Hughes is keen not to lose such a talented player in the middle of the season but, if the Brazilian has his way, he will move at the earliest opportunity. That will be a major disappointment to a club of City’s aspirations, with Hughes stating recently that they were “not in the business of selling our best players”, but the manager may have contributed to Robinho’s unhappiness by disbanding the small but influential group of Brazilian players that he regarded as cliquish and undermining his authority. Elano Blumer, who was regarded as a troublemaker, was sold to Galatasaray in the summer while Jo was loaned to Everton and Glauber Berti also left the club. That, however, has left Robinho feeling isolated and not enjoying the experience of being in Manchester, a city he has struggled to embrace. His wife, Vivian, is also unhappy in England, neither of them having learned the language and both disliking the climate. Their problems even extend to moving house because of a dispute with their neighbours over them playing Brazilian music. City’s official position is that they have not spoken to Barcelona and have no intention to do so. Nonetheless, they do not consider Robinho indispensable when they have Craig Bellamy and Martin Petrov to play the same position on the left side of attack, and particularly when they know that the Brazilian is not fully committed to being a part of the club’s future.
