Elections can occur without democracy but democracy cannot endure without elections. This democratic process allows voters to choose the best candidate with the most wisdom and virtue to pursue a common good.As we draw closer to the Permatang Pauh by-election, more than ever, voters must look at the three candidates objectively and choose the one with soul and conscience.Permatang Pauh voters must not fall prey to the materialistic offers and temporary benefits offered insincerely just because they want to win the elections. Permatang Pauh voters must look beyond their constituency and look at the common good of the whole nation. Now, the risk is too great to vote for the third candidate who has no track record whatsoever to assure you of a better Malaysia. Who is the best candidate then? Think and vote wisely. Dear voters of Permatang Pauh voters, you are akin to 'king makers' because you hold the key to the future of Malaysia. You all are the determinants of hope for our country...

Julia Sugawara suffered semi final heartbreak against England at the 2006 Women's RWC in CanadaEngland Women’s coach Gary Street has rung the changes to his squad to face their USA counterparts for the second time in four days at Esher Rugby Club in the opening game of the inaugural Women’s Nations Cup on Friday.Twelve changes – three of them positional – have been made to the starting line-up from England’s impressive 50-3 defeat of a young USA side on Tuesday as Street rotates his squad with another test against Canada coming up on Sunday afternoon.“We have made several changes and this is because we have got to make sure we have enough players in our elite squad who are capable of playing international rugby to a high standard,” explained Street. “From selecting this squad I am confident these players will do as good a job as the team on Tuesday did.”Jo McGilchrist, one of England’s eight try scorers on Tuesday, is the only forward to retain her place in the star...

While revenue was a steady £164m, profits tumbled from just under £4m a year ago to zero, partly because of relaunch costs for its digital stations. Five's family of channels it runs Five US and Fiver as well as its flagship, Five, Britain's fifth terrestrial channel also saw its share of the net TV advertising market shrink by 1%. Such signs don't augur well with advertising revenues on the slide. ITV and Channel 4 are signalling drops of between 10% and 20% in September. The good news for Five is that Airey, who helped found the channel in 1997, is starting as soon as October. When RTL chief Gerhard Zeiler poached her from ITV in April, her then boss Michael Grade threatened to hold her to a year's gardening leave, which meant she wouldn't have started until May 2009. The knowledge Dawn Airey is arriving ...

By Bradley A. Emmaus alone lost nine players to top college programs, including two goalkeepers. Sophomore speedster Alley Evans will provide scoring. It's going to be fun to work with this group,'' coach Sue Butz-Stavin said. Northampton returns just four starters. How well the Chicks rebuild Noda's section of the field will determine their success. Nilson says Parkland could break through in 2008. As far as individual stoppers go, that conversation usually begins and ends with Freedom. Compensating for the loss of 11 seniors will be goalkeeper Kaitlyn Ruhf, last year's all-league performer. Rival Liberty graduated three players to D-I programs and return only three seniors. The new divisional alignment will make for interesting regular season rivalries. Easton returns five starters from a team that went 11-10. All of the teams have a tradition of excellence,'' said Northampton's Augustine, ''so we will have to be focused each and every game. Teams across the state will be...
