Calls for action as leaders sign UN deal

L

eaders from 171 countries are signing the Paris Agreement, the world's response to hotter temperatures, rising seas and other impacts of climate change, as the landmark deal took a key step forward, potentially entering into force years ahead of schedule.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, holding his young granddaughter, joined dozens of world leaders for a signing ceremony that sets a record for international diplomacy: Never have so many countries signed an agreement on the first available day.

"We are in a race against time," UN secretary-General Ban Kimoon told the gathering. "The era of consumption without consequences is over."

Many now expect the climate agreement to enter into force long before the original deadline of 2020. Some say it could happen this year.

After signing, countries must formally approve the Paris Agreement through their domestic procedures.

Australia was one of 196 parties to agree to limit global warming by at least two degrees and scale up efforts to slash carbon pollution over time.

The Greens are calling on Australians to demand better from major political parties obsessed with propping up fossil fuels, as nations signed off the Paris climate deal.

Environment Minister Greg Hunt joined representatives from 150 countries in New York to officially sign the legally binding agreement struck last December. | Visit our showroom Mr Hunt said the Paris pieces Agreementone-o was a profoundly important milestone and a turning point in the transition to a lower emissions economy.

He said as Australia reduced emissions, the government was looking to protect its lands and oceans.

The government was committing a further $11 million on projects to continue improving water quality on the Great Barrier Reef.

"Ultimately, intergenerational equity is about the love and the respect that one generation shows another," he said.

"There will be no greater gift than real action now to protect the Reef, the Okavango Delta, the Everglades and the planet's natural treasures."

FBI paid $US1.3m to break into iPhone Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey says the agency paid more to get into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters than he will make in the remaining seven years and four months he has in his job.

According to figures from the FBI and the US Office of Management and Budget, Comey's annual salary as of January 2015 was $US183,300 ($A235,226).

Without a raise or bonus, Comey will make $US1.34 million over the remainder of his job.

That suggests the FBI paid the largest ever publicised amount for a hacking technique, given the most previously paid was $US1 million by US information security company Zerodium to break into phones.

Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum in London on Thursday, Comey was asked by a moderator how much the FBI paid for the software that eventually broke into the

iPhone.

"A lot. More than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months for sure," Comey said.

"But it was, in my view, worth it."

The Justice Department said in March it had unlocked the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone with the help of an unidentified third party and dropped its case against Apple, ending a high-stakes legal clash, but leaving the broader fight over encryption unresolved.

Comey said the FBI will be able to use software used on the San Bernardino phone on other 5C iPhones running IOS 9 software.

The FBI gained access to the iPhone used by Rizwan Farook, one of the shooters who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California on December 2.

The case raised the debate over whether technology companies' encryption technologies protect privacy or endanger the public by blocking law enforcement access to information.

Authorities search a residential area following the shooting that killed multiple people at a social services center for the disabled in San Bernardino, California.

Peter Greste awarded Anzac Day honour J

ournalist and press freedom campaigner Peter Greste has been awarded the Anzac Peace Prize.

Mr Greste was the subject of international outcry when he was detained for 400 days in a Cairo prison while covering unrest in Egypt as an Al Jazeera correspondent.

Released in February last year, he has since used his profile to campaign for imprisoned journalists around the world.

A humbled Greste was presented with the RSL's Anzac Day award at Brisbane's Anzac Square, where he laid a wreath and held a moment of silent contemplation.

"It feels very strange to be in this position because a lot of what's happened to me is because of what I've come to represent more than what I've done," he said. "(But) freedom of speech, freedom of press, rule of law and standing up for your mates are still principles I'm very proud to represent."

Mr Greste spent 22 years working as a foreign correspondent, covering apartheid in South Africa, central African conflicts and more recently unrest in Egypt.

It allowed him to witness the vast spectrum of human experience.

RSL national president Ken Doolan said Mr Greste was the perfect candidate.

"(They're) pivotal parts in human history but they also represent so much of what make us human."

"(His) selfless attitude and strong sense of social justice captures the very essence of the Anzac Peace Prize," he said.

The annual RSL award is given to those who promote the concept of international understanding and make a contribution to "For every atrocity, for every act of brutally that you see, you see a dozen extraordinary world peace.

Vic stamp duty, land tax up for foreigners

Treasurer Tim Pallas says next week's budget will increase the stamp duty surcharge for foreign buyers from three to seven per cent, and the land tax surcharge for absentee owners from 0.5 to 1.5 per cent.

Indeed, the level of foreign investment in Victoria - and particularly Melbourne - had continued to grow "quite considerably", Mr Pallas said.

But the opposition insists locals will be the ones to pay.

Santoso - also known as Abu Wardah - is the leader of Mujahidin of Eastern Indonesia (MIT), a group that emerged from the shadows of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) - infamous in Australia as the organisation behind the fatal 2002 Bali bombings.

The terrain is steep, the forest dense, and fog obscures vision.

More than a dozen men have died in shoot outs with the group and in March at least 10 personnel were killed when a military helicopter crashed in poor weather.

Operation Tinombala spokesman Hari Suprapto said Santoso is an expert in survival.

"One of the things we found were several Along with Daeng Koro (who was killed in betel nut trees cut down. They eat the a shoot out with police last year), Santoso has brought together more than 20 men and leaves of the tree," he said.

Director of the Institute for Policy Analysis

of Conflict Sidney Jones said Santoso's influence stretches back to 2011 when he ran two-week para-military training courses.

"There is an alumni network of Santoso's training courses that are now spread across Indonesia and several veterans of Poso training camps are also in Syria," she said.

"Even though his capture wouldn't significantly change the risk factor in Indonesia ... many people see him as the one person who has kept Jihad in Indonesia alive."

The only militant to have claim over territory, Santoso has carried out repeated attacks on authorities.

In May 2011, Santoso allegedly murdered two policemen during an assault in front of a bank in Palu, Central Sulawesi's capital, while he and his men have been linked to the beheadings and kidnapping of villagers.

Last month, the US declared him a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" after it was revealed he had received funding from Syria.

With so much to loose symbolically, Hari doubts that if they do corner him, Santoso will want to come out alive.

Colorado lawmakers target edible pot

P

ot-infused lemon drops and other marijuana edibles that resemble fruits could be coming off Colorado shelves, the latest battle to eradicate retail pot products that could appeal to kids.

A committee in the state House of Representatives advanced the bill that also would ban infused edibles shaped like animals or people. Edible pot makers already are preparing for new regulations starting this fall that will require each piece of food to carry a symbol with the letters THC, marijuana's intoxicating chemical.

Marijuana manufacturers say the latest measure goes too far, with the Colorado Cannabis Chamber of Commerce warning it could shut down a big part of the edibles industry.

"It really comes down to the adult, the parent, to keep it out of the hands of children, just like alcohol, just like cigarettes," said Dave Maggio, who works for manufacturer Cheeba Chews.

Many pot producers have agreed to stop making candies that resemble animals or people but oppose the bill because it could be interpreted to ban shapes that unintentionally look like fruits, such as an orange-coloured circle.

The measure's supporters, including the

governor and Colorado's chief medical officer, say marijuana candies are like modern-day candy cigarettes and send a dangerous message to kids.

ratcheting up limits on edible marijuana ever since recreational pot became legal in 2012.

"Children are more likely to consume products that resemble familiar foods," Dr. Larry Wolk told lawmakers Tuesday.

First, lawmakers limited the potency of serving sizes, then required each serving size to be individually wrapped because some consumers were eating too many servings.

Many of the 24 states and Washington, DC, allowing marijuana for medical or recreational use do not allow the sale of edible marijuana. In Colorado, where the state constitution authorises marijuana in any form, pot regulators have been

T

he ubiquitous fridges that dispense beer in Cuba's bars, cafes and petrol stations are running out of the island's favourite Cristal and Bucanero brands in recet weeks, as a surge in American tourists and new private watering holes strain the main brewery.

Brewer Bucanero needs a new plant to keep pace with demand from tourists and a burgeoning private restaurant sector that competes with state-run outlets for supplies, Mayle Gonzalez, a sales executive at the company told state media.

As well as its namesake, Cerveceria Bucanero makes the Communist-led country's most widely consumed brew, Cristal. The company is a government joint venture with the world's largest brewer, Belgium's Anheuser Busch InBev. After US President Barack Obama eased travel restrictions to Cuba in his bid to end more than 50 years of enmity with the Caribbean nation, American tourists are arriving in significant numbers on the streets of Old Havana.

Hundreds will step off a cruise ship from Miami into the city next month, the first such voyage since the US embargo that followed Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.

While the embargo remains in place, ordinary Cubans have warmed to their "Yanqui" neighbours, especially after Obama's visit to Cuba last month, the first by a sitting US president in 88 years.

Cuba received a record 3.5 million visitors last year, up 17 per cent from 2014. American visitors rose 77 per cent to 161,000, in addition to hundreds of thousands of Cuban-Americans, testing the country's supply of hotel room, rental cars and beer.

The most recent tourism figures, for January, showed a similar pace of growth.

Small restaurants that cater to both tourists and Cubans have blossomed on the Caribbean island since President Raul Castro five years ago formalised changes designed to remove the Communist state from many small-scale economic activities.

"Private bars can go out and find supplies where they can, I can only sell what the government gives me," said the manager of a state-run bar that ran out of beer, while a private locale upstairs had a fridge full of cold bottles.

At its seventh Communist Party congress next week, Cuba's leadership is expected to push ahead with economic reforms outlined in 2011, although the tight-lipped party has given little sign of what will be discussed.

The congress is the country's main forum for defining leadership and economic policy for the next five years.

'Female and male model used for Mona Lisa' M

ona Lisa's enigmatic smile draws millions of viewers from across the world, all eager to see the art world's most famous female face. But is it?

Using Photoshop, Vinceti compared the "Mona Lisa" face to other Da Vinci works Salai is believed to have posed for, including "St John the Baptist".

An Italian art detective is arguing that research backs his long-standing claim that Leonardo Da Vinci used both a female and male model to create the acclaimed portrait that hangs in Paris' Louvre museum.

"We have used all the paintings in which Leonardo used Salai as a model and compared them to the 'Mona Lisa' and certain details correspond perfectly; so he used two models and added creative details which came from his own imagination," he said.

While the identity of the woman is not certain, historians believe Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo, sat for Da Vinci for the painting.

"I believe that this goes with a long-time fascination of Leonardo's, that is, the subject of androgyny. In other words, for Leonardo, the perfect person was a combination of a man and a woman."

But Silvano Vinceti, who heads Italy's National Committee for the Promotion of Historic and Cultural Heritage, says he used infrared technology to examine the painting and made key findings in its first layer.

Vinceti also bases his theory on claims by 16th Italian art historian and painter Giorgio Vasari that Gherardini's husband hired clowns to try to make her smile for the sitting.

"In that layer we can see that she was not smiling and joyful but looked melancholic and sad," he said, adding the second model was Gian Giacomo Caprotti - Da Vinci's male apprentice, known as Salai.

Salai's name has in the past been linked to the "Mona Lisa", but other historians have dismissed the claims.

Pregnant Melbourne elephant in final phase A

t almost 22 months, Melbourne Zoo's expectant elephant NumOi has finally reached the final phase of her pregnancy.

Num-Oi is expected to give birth after mid May, but it's possible the calf might arrive as soon as May begins, her carers say.

In preparation, a special caravan is being delivered to the zoo on Tuesday to help keepers and veterinarians get ready for the calf's imminent arrival.

The frequency of several key pregnancy screenings will also change from Tuesday, including blood tests and ultrasounds.

Num-Oi will now have her blood drawn and tested daily, early in the morning, and undergo weekly ultrasounds.

CCTV cameras will also help keepers watch over the expectant mother overnight.

0 Cosby sex assault prosecution 'can go on'

INCLUDES HARD COVER - NEW ORDERS ONLY

A

Pennsylvania appeals court has cleared the way for the criminal case against Bill Cosby to proceed, rejecting the comedian's attempt to have the charges thrown out due to a deal he contends was reached with prosecutors a decade ago.

The state Superior Court had put the case on hold while it considered whether to take up Cosby's unusual pre-trial appeal.

The 78-year-old actor and comic is charged with drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand, a former basketball coach at his alma mater Temple University, at his home in 2004.

Constand, now 44, is one of more than 50 women who have come forward to accuse Cosby of sexually assaulting them in a series of attacks dating to the 1960s.

The allegations have toppled Cosby, who built a long career on family-friendly comedy, from his position as one of the United States' best-loved entertainers.

Constand's case is the only one that has led to criminal charges, in part because of statutes of limitations.

Cosby faces a number of civil lawsuits from many of his alleged victims.

Monday's ruling clears the way for a preliminary hearing, where prosecutors are expected to outline some of the evidence against Cosby.

Representatives for Cosby and the Montgomery County district attorney's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Lawyers for Cosby, who has denied any wrongdoing, had argued that former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor had promised not to prosecute Cosby in the Constand case in exchange for Cosby's agreement to give a deposition in her civil lawsuit.

But current prosecutors countered that no written deal existed to back up that contention and said Castor was not legally authorised to bind his successors from pursuing criminal charges.

In February, Pennsylvania Common Pleas Court Judge Steven O'Neill rejected Cosby's bid following a two-day hearing at which Castor testified that he agreed not to prosecute Cosby if he sat for the deposition.

Cosby has portrayed the encounter with Constand as consensual and said he gave her an anti-allergy medication.

Uluru: to climb or not to climb?

I t's 6pm and there's something of a party atmosphere at the Uluru sunset viewing area.

It's packed out with tourists from around the world who've staked out their spots to watch the nightly show.

A woman wearing khakis and an Akubra is perched on top of a Land Cruiser setting up a tripod while two French girls take selfies and a group of people have set up a card table with nibbles and champagne.

Smart phones and iPads are being positioned to capture the best shot of the massive monolith, which will spectacularly change colour from rusty red to chocolate, mulberry, pink, purple and glowing orange as the sun goes down.

A snippet of a conversation floats up from the crowd.

"It's not that big," says a child.

His mother answers loudly in a broad Australian accent.

"You won't be sayin' that when we climb it tomorrow."

Climbing Uluru is perfectly legal and thousands of tourists scale the rock each year.

But the climbing route follows a sacred ceremonial path traditionally used by the Mala men, and it is against the wishes of the local indigenous people for tourists to undertake the climb.

"That's a really important, sacred thing that you are climbing, you shouldn't climb, it's not the proper thing," says traditional owner Kunmanara.

"We, the traditional Anangu owners have this to say," the sign reads.

Later, some people return from the climb.

"Uluru is sacred in our culture, a place of great knowledge. Under our traditional law climbing is not permitted.

"This is our home. Please don't climb."

Despite this, about 12 people, including a parent with young children, are at various stages up the rock face by 8am.

tours around the base of Uluru says about 30 per cent of visitors opt to climb.

He says he was aware that climbing Uluru is culturally sensitive but it didn't deter him.

During the guided tour he talks about the environmental damage caused by climbers, including the excrement and vomit they leave behind, and the run-off of waste into sacred water holes and a worrying die-off of frogs.

"I just wanted a good photo," he says. "I have never been in the desert before and the view is really good."

The following day Ann, on holiday with her family from the NSW Central Coast, is at a sunrise viewing of Uluru.

After the tour he says overseas visitors Ann says her husband has previously often respect the requests not to climb, but climbed the rock and she had planned to it's not unusual for Australians to have a do the same. "my country my rock" attitude.

The days where you could buy T-shirts and mugs proclaiming "I climbed Ayers Rock" seem to be long gone.

Such souvenirs are nowhere to be found in the Ayers Rock resort and Yolanda Greening, who works at a tourist shop in Yulara, says "We just don't stock them".

Under a current management plan, the climb is set to close once climbers fall below 20 per cent.

Until then the lure of climbing the geological wonder is likely to remain.

But for others the day when the chains come down won't come soon enough.

HACKERS BORROW CUSTOMER-SERVICE TACTICS

W

hen hackers set out to extort the town of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, with "ransomware," they followed up with an FAQ explaining the attack and easy instructions for online payment.

After baulking for several days, Tewksbury officials decided that paying the modest ransom of about $US600 ($A781) was better than struggling to unlock its own systems, said police chief Timothy Sheehan.

That case and others show how cyber-criminals have professionalised ransomware schemes, borrowing tactics from customer service or marketing, law enforcement officials and security firms say.

Some players in the booming underworld employ graphic artists, call centres and technical support to streamline payment and data recovery, according to security firms that advise businesses on hacking threats.

The advancements, along with modest ransom demands, make it easier to pay than fight.

"It's a perfect business model, as long as you overlook the fact that they are doing something awful," said James Trombly, president of Delphi Technology Solutions, a computer services firm that's helped three clients over the past year pay ransoms in bitcoin, the virtual currency.

He declined to identify the clients.

Ransomware victims reported total costs from such attacks of $US209 million ($A272.08 million) in the first three months of 2016, the FBI said, citing a tally of complaints it has received. That's up dramatically from $US24 million for all of 2015.

Costs for victims, beyond ransom, can include large bills for technical support, consultants and security software.

In the December 2014 attack on Tewksbury, the pressure to pay took on a special urgency because hackers disabled emergency systems. That same is true of additional attacks on police departments and hospitals since then. But all sectors of government and business are targeted, along with

individuals, security firms said.

Some operations hire underground call centres or emailresponse groups to walk victims through paying and restoring their data, said Lance James, chief scientist with the cyberintelligence firm Flashpoint.

Graphic artists and translators craft clear ransom demands and instructions in multiple languages.

They use geolocation to make sure that victims in Italy get the Italian version,

Tech boost for Victorian police V

ictoria's frontline police will be armed with body cameras and tablets to help reduce time spent in the office filling out paperwork.

The days of faxing police reports, which then needed to be transcribed, are now over thanks to the tablet technology that will allow police to respond more quickly.

The tablets will also give officers more access to information about offenders and victims and will be rolled out from the middle of the year.

"The investment in technology that we are seeing today, we haven't seen the likes of that since the introduction of the radio cars," Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton told reporters on Sunday.

The $596 million Public Safety Package is the law and order centrepiece of the Victorian state budget announced by Premier Daniel Andrews, which in addition to the technological advances will deliver 300 more frontline police officers, 106 specialist police and 52 support personnel.

said Alex Holden, chief information security officer with Hold Security.

While ransomware attacks have been around for more than a decade, security experts say they've become far more threatening and prevalent in recent years because of stateof-the-art encryption, modules that infect backup systems, and the ability to infect large numbers of computers over a single network.

Law enforcement officials have long advised victims against paying ransoms. Paying ransoms is "supporting the business model," encouraging more criminals to become extortionists, said Will Bales, a supervisory special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

But Bales, who helps run ransomware investigations nationwide, acknowledged that the payoffs make economic sense for many victims.

"It is a business decision for the victim to make," he said.

Run-of-the-mill ransomware attacks typically seek one bitcoin, now worth about $US420, which is about the same as the hourly rate that some security consultants charge to respond to such incidents, according to security firms who investigate ransomware cases.

Some attacks seek more, as when hackers forced Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles to pay $US17,000 to end an outage in February.

Such publicised incidents will breed

more attacks, said California State Senator Robert Hertzberg, who in February introduced legislation to make a ransomware schemes punishable by up to four years in prison. The Senate's public safety committee has passed the bill and sent it to the appropriations committee for further review.

Some victims choose not to pay. The Pearland Independent School District near Houston refused to fork out about $US1,600 in ransom demanded in two attacks since the start of 2016, losing about three days of work from teachers and students. Instead, the district invested tens of thousands of dollars on security software, said Jonathan Block, the district's desktop support services manager.

"This threat is real and something that needs to be dealt with," Block said.

The town of Tewksbury has also upgraded its security technology, but Sheehan says he fears more attacks.

"We are so petrified we could be put into this position again," he said.

"Everybody is vulnerable."

The Queensland University of Technology has received $125,000 in state government and not-for-profit funding to develop prosthetic ears that mimic cartilage tissue.

Researchers believe the products are a world first and the ears could be available to buy in the next one or two years.

The money has been used to hire a PhD researcher and is the first to be announced as part of the government's Advance Queensland initiative.

Assoc Prof Woodruff said the ear would be surgically implanted on to the child and it would grow to create a "living, breathing ear construct".

The researchers hope to then work with bionics companies to improve the child's hearing.

"For us the day she comes to us and actually says, `Where's my ear', it's obviously going to be heartbreaking.

"But now we can say, `You will have an ear'."

QUT is working in partnership with the Hear and Say charity, who contributed $25,000 to the ear research.

If successful, the 3D printer could be used to print other parts of the body and assist soldiers who have been injured while on deployment.

Bill Campbell, mentor to Steve Jobs, dies B

ill Campbell, a former Ivy League football coach who became a management guru for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and other Silicon Valley luminaries, has died. He was 75.

His death on Monday was confirmed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, a venture capital firm that often called upon Campbell to help mould entrepreneurs as they tried to manage the rapid growth often triggered by their innovations.

Campbell died after a long battle with cancer, according to the firm, which was speaking on behalf of his family.

Although he wasn't widely known outside Silicon Valley, Campbell played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of both Apple and Google, two of the world's most powerful companies.

After working in marketing and sales at Apple during the 1980s, Campbell joined the company's board in 1997, shortly after Jobs returned as the company's CEO. At the time, Apple was flirting with bankruptcy.

Campbell frequently served as Jobs' sounding board during one of the most resounding corporate turnarounds in US history as Apple first

redesigned its Mac computer line and then rolled out the iPod, iPhone and iPad to emerge as the world most valuable company.

Campbell ended his 17-year stint on Apple's board in 2014.

While working with Apple, Campbell played a behind-the-scenes role in Google's success, too.

Prompted by Kleiner Perkins, Campbell worked with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and company co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to help them work out their early differences and eventually forge one of the most successful partnerships in corporate America.

Alphabet, Google's corporate parent, is now the world's second most valuable company, ranking only behind Apple.

Driving in pitch black at Ford Arizona Proving Ground marks the next step on the company’s journey to delivering fully autonomous vehicles to customers around the globe. It’s an important development, in that it shows that even without cameras, which rely on light, Ford’s LiDAR – working with the car’s virtual driver software – is robust enough to steer flawlessly around winding roads.

While it’s ideal to have all three modes of sensors – radar, cameras and LiDAR – the latter can function independently on roads without stoplights.

Sure enough, it stayed precisely on track To navigate in the dark, Ford self-driving along those winding roads.” cars use high-resolution 3D maps – complete with information about the road, road markings, geography, topography and landmarks like signs, buildings and trees. The vehicle uses LiDAR pulses to pinpoint itself on the map in real time.

Additional data from radar gets fused with that of LiDAR to complete the full sensing capability of the autonomous vehicle.

For the desert test, Ford engineers, sporting night-vision goggles, monitored the Fusion from inside and outside the vehicle. Night vision allowed them to see the LiDAR doing its job in the form of a grid of infrared laser beams projected around the vehicle as it drove past.

LiDAR sensors shoot out 2.8 million laser pulses a second to precisely scan the surrounding environment.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data has found the passenger vehicle occupant fatality rate during dark hours to be about three times “Inside the car, I could feel it moving, higher than the daytime rate. but when I looked out the window, “Thanks to LiDAR, the test cars aren’t I only saw darkness,” describes reliant on the sun shining, nor cameras Wayne Williams, a Ford detecting painted white lines on the research scientist and asphalt,” says Jim McBride, Ford engineer. “As I rode in the technical leader for autonomous vehicles. back seat, I was following “In fact, LiDAR allows autonomous cars the car’s progression in

ENTERTAINMENT PRINCE A BLUEPRINT FOR CUTTING-EDGE MUSIC

P

rince, one of the most inventive and influential musicians of modern times with hits including Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry, was found dead at his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis. He was 57.

His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, told The Associated Press that the pop music superstar "died at his home this morning at Paisley Park", but that no details were immediately available. The

singer postponed a concert in Atlanta on April 7, after coming down with the flu, and he apologised to fans for the cancellation during a makeup concert last week.

The dazzlingly talented and charismatic singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist drew upon musicians ranging from James Brown to Jimi Hendrix to the Beatles, creating a widely imitated blend of rock, funk and soul.

The Minneapolis native broke through in the late 1970s with the hits Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? and I Wanna Be Your Lover, and soared over the following decade with such albums as 1999 and Purple Rain.

The title song from 1999 includes one of the most quoted refrains of popular culture: "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999".

Born Prince Rogers Nelson, he stood at just 157cm (5 feet, two inches) yet made a powerful visual impact at the dawn of MTV, from his wispy moustache and tall pompadour to his colourful and suggestive outfits.

The Logies are being staged at Crown on May 8 and in contention for the Gold Logie are Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore, Grant Denyer, Lee Lin Chin, Scott Cam and Essie Davis who is the only actor among the nominees.

LEO You are full of energy this week, Leo and your loved ones admire your stamina. You are full of enthusiasm even though you are a bit unhappy. That is your strength, Leo. You don’t let something negative take away you fire.

VIRGO Lady fortune is by your side this week. Everything you touch turns to gold because everything seems so easy.

However, luck could change direction by the middle part of the week and things could backfire on you.

LIBRA Expect some pleasant surprises this week. You are a champion in building castles in the sky, so don’t hesitate to take risks. However, you need to think well before you start anything.

You will receive a dubious offer in a letter.

SCORPIO Opportunities that could bring in some money will cross your path this week. Be alert and don’t loose your attention. At work, focus on one project at a time. Don’t take responsibilities that you’re not familiar with.

SAGITTARIUS Your optimism is commendable, Sagittarius.

However, excess positivity makes you look away from the truth.

Any positive emotion should be grounded on reality. If you keep on burying yourself in the sand, you will regret it later.

CAPRICORN You’re looking forward to an eventful week, Capricorn. In terms of romance, be prepared because strong feelings for someone from the past will overwhelm you. That will cause a wave of emotions. If you’re in a relationship, make sure you control yourself or else you’ll get into troubles.

AQUARIUS This week is all about emotions, mood and personality. Remember that your emotions are driven by motivation which can either be negative or positive. Choose not to let little things upset you, Aquarius.

PISCES Love sparks will be flying everywhere this week. Just don’t give each other a hard time so things could be cozy between the two of you. While it’s true that you just met and you could feel a bit insecure, open your eyes to see that the other person feels the same way.

Aniston dreams of pasta while working out

ctress Jennifer Aniston dreams of Mexican food or a nice bowl of pasta when she needs a little motivation while exercising.

Aniston has always been a big fan of yoga, and tries to attend a spin-yoga class three times a week. These sessions incorporate 25 to 30 minutes of spinning, followed by 30 to 40 minutes of yoga.

The former Friends star has just been named People magazine's Most Beautiful Woman 2016, and the On another three days she 47-year-old tells the publication it tackles weight training exercises takes a lot of work to look as good as from home, with one rest day. she does.

Prince a blueprint for cutting-edge music Story continued from Page 22

MORDIALLOC

H

e was equally powerful musically, summoning original and compelling sounds at will, whether playing guitar in a flamboyant style that drew on Jimi Hendrix, switching his vocals from a nasally scream to an erotic falsetto, or turning out album after album of stunningly original material. Among his other notable releases: Sign O' the Times, Graffiti Bridge and The Black Album.

He was also fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over control of his material - and even his name, for a time insisting that he be called as "TAFKAP," or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and identified with a key-like symbol.

Prince once wrote "slave" on his face in protest of not owning his work and famously fought and then departed his label, Warner Bros, before returning a few years ago.

"What's happening now is the position that I've always wanted to be in," Prince told the AP in 2014. "I was just trying to get here."

In 2004, Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame, which hailed him as a musical and social trailblazer.

"He rewrote the rulebook, forging a synthesis of black funk and white rock that served as a blueprint for cutting-edge music in the Eighties," reads the Hall's dedication. "Prince made dance music that rocked and rock music that had a bristling, funky backbone. From the beginning, Prince and his music were androgynous, sly, sexy and provocative."

Music was in his blood. Prince's father played in a jazz band in Minneapolis, under the name "Prince Rogers", and his mother was the singer. The precocious young Prince taught himself to play the piano at age seven, the guitar at 13 and the drums at 14. In 1978, the year he turned 20, Prince debuted with the album For You. It was a declaration, if nothing else, that he could do anything: He wrote and sang the material, and served as his own one-man band on guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, chimes and assorted other instruments.

Rarely lacking in confidence, Prince effortlessly absorbed the music of others and made it sound like Prince, whether the James Brown guitar riff on Kiss or the Beatle-esque, psychedelic pop of Raspberry Beret.

He also proved a source of hits for others, from Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U to Cyndi Lauper's When You Were Mine to Manic Monday for the Bangles.

Prince had been touring and recording right up until his death, releasing four albums in the last 18 months, including two on the Tidal streaming service last year.

He performed in Atlanta last week as part of his Piano and a Microphone tour, a stripped down show that has featured a mix of his hits like Purple Rain or Little Red Corvette, and some B-sides from his extensive library.

Prince debuted the intimate format at his Paisley Park studios in January, treating fans to a performance that was personal and both playful and emotional at times.

The musician had seemed to be shedding his reclusive reputation. He hosted several late-night jam sessions where he serenaded Madonna, celebrated the Minnesota Lynx's WNBA championship and showcased his latest protege, singer Judith Hill.

Ever surprising, he announced on stage in New York City in March that he was writing his memoir. The Beautiful Ones was expected to be released in the northern autumn of 2017 by publishing house Spiegel & Grau.

The publishing house has not yet commented on status of book, but a press release about the memoir said: "Prince will take readers on an unconventional and poetic journey through his life and creative work."

It says the book will include stories about Prince's music and "the family that shaped him and the people, places, and ideas that fired his creative imagination".

Clooney surprised to fall in love at 52 A

ctor George Clooney cannot believe he found the love of his life at 52.

The Ocean's Eleven star tied the knot with British lawyer Amal Alamuddin in a romantic ceremony in Venice, Italy in September, 2014 after a year of dating, and Hollywood's former most eligible bachelor, now 54, is still pinching himself after scoring the wife of his dreams.

"I've never been happier in a relationship by any stretch of the imagination," he told the American edition of Esquire. "At 52, I found the love of my life and I'm really happy."

Clooney, who was previously wed to actress Talia Balsam in the early 1990s, has dated some of the world's most beautiful women, but in Amal, 38, the actor has truly found his soulmate, and he plans to ease up on his acting roles so they can spend as much quality time together as possible.

"The reality is... the kind of parts that I was doing, I'm not going to be doing anymore," he explained. "Paul Newman did it best. He was a movie star, he was a leading man, and then he was like, 'Now I'm a character actor'. They just weren't as often and they weren't as much."

Clooney still loves making movies, but the projects that appeal to him have changed over the years.

"I'm much more interested in doing films where the role makes sense for me," he said. "I'm not gonna be carrying movies the way I did before. There are actors you'll see that try to hold on to this leading-man status long past the due date."

Clooney certainly isn't ungrateful for the success he has enjoyed, and he's thankful for the opportunities he has been given since his Hollywood career took off in his 30s, but he feels fame is a young man's game these days. "(It) used to be you could be as famous as you wanted," he said.

"You show up at premieres and everybody cheers and you sign autographs, and then you go off and you drive out to a restaurant and go to dinner and you'd be left alone.

"Every once in a while some paparazzi would sneak around, but now everybody's got a phone. I'm just lucky that the advent of camera phones happened when I was 43-years-old or something."

Drew Barrymore opens up about motherhood

Kerri-Anne's husband leaves intensive care

The 41-year-old actress is mother to three-year-old Olive and two-year-old Frankie with estranged husband Will Kopelman. The couple announced their split earlier this month, but the most important thing in both of their lives is their daughters.

John Kennerley had been in intensive care for more than six weeks after he fell off a balcony at a golf resort near Coffs Harbour and fractured a bone between the C2 and C3 vertebrae.

D

rew Barrymore says she is a better person because she's a mother.

Barrymore explained during Safe Kids Day on Sunday that she is determined to show her girls how important it is to take work seriously.

"I think it's good to show my kids I'm passionate and have a good work ethic and that you have to earn what you have in this world," she told Entertainment Tonight. "(Motherhood's) just made me such a better person.

"I always love and try to live on the high road. I think you feel best when you behave or react or come from the high road place. And my kids have

elevated that for me in a way that is indescribable."

Barrymore recently added to her tattoo collection with inkings of her daughters' names on her wrist. While she had "wanted to do it for a while", it was when she was at a yoga class that Barrymore made the decision to go ahead with the etchings.

"They're my favourite people on the planet, and just seeing it every day makes me happy," she said. "Always remember what's important and that joy is in everything they are my joy."

The actress recently had reason to celebrate as Frankie marked her second birthday on April 22. The actress threw a huge bash for her daughter, complete with a photo booth, a balloon creator and a cake from the family's favourite bakery Sweet Lady Jane.

"The whole family was there and all the in-laws and all of Olive's friends from school," she said. "It was awesome."

T

V personality Kerri-Anne Kennerley's husband John has been released from intensive care following a freak fall that left him with a broken neck.

"After 6 and a half weeks in Intensive Care John is moving to the spinal unit," Kerri-Anne captioned an Instagram photo of the couple with John's medical team at Royal North Shore hospital.

The 75-year-old remains in a neck brace as he begins the next stage of his recovery.

Five days ago, Kerri-Anne posted a photo of the couple's pet dog, Digger, putting his paw on John as he lay in a hospital bed.

"Today was the first time Digger recognised John and made us all happy. So true, pets really are therapy," she said.

THE SECRETS TO MAKING IT TO 90 Exercise Between walking her corgis and taking care of her horses - not to mention all those royal walkabouts - the Queen has become a nonagenarian. And it's not a coincidence. Living a sedentary lifestyle has been shown to cut the average person's lifespan by four years, while inactivity is a sure-fire way to increase your chances of major diseases like heart disease and stroke.

Watch your blood pressure High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because it's unlikely you'll notice any symptoms. But keeping an eye on your blood pressure and keeping it in a healthy range can cut the risk of stroke by up to 40 per cent, and heart attack by up to 25 per cent. Cutting excess salt from your diet is one of the easiest ways to achieve this, and don't forget to attend for regular check-ups with your GP.

Want to live to 90 like the Queen?

Keep working As the longest-reigning UK monarch to date, the Queen has been performing official duties for 64 years and counting. Retirement isn't looking like an option any time soon either, not even for her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who turns 95 this year. Have a goal, a focus, and a commitment to other people - whether you're paid for it or not - and it'll give you something to work toward, which in turn will help keep your mind and body active and healthy.

Don't smoke Naturally, it simply would not do for the top royal to be seen with a ciggie in her mouth. From cancer to heart disease, the health risks associated with smoking are very well established, and studies have found that non-smokers are twice as likely to make it to the grand old age of 90 than those who smoke.

Eat well Although the Queen has a team of chefs carefully monitoring what she eats and when, she still has afternoon tea daily, and apparently loves a gin and Dubonnet in the evening. So you can still have the odd treat, but eating a well-balanced diet, filled with a range of fruit, vegetables, fish and meat - keeping sugar levels and cholesterol down - is vital for a long and healthy life.

Votes for women Women live an average of five to seven years longer than men.

This is partly because they are better at managing stress, more likely to visit their doctor if they're worried about their health, and less likely to take physical, dangerous risks.

Manage diabetes We're currently facing a global epidemic of diabetes and, by 2030, it has been predicted that diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, with many of those deaths due to cardiovascular disease. Type 2 diabetes is preventable though - and highly manageable if you are diagnosed - by following the expert advice and sticking to a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Have a hobby Taking up a hobby you love can extend the quality and length of your life dramatically, through decreasing stress, combating dementia, increasing sociability and boosting mood and health. So go pick up a book or start playing the piano!

Depp dogs incident a 'terrible mistake' J

ohnny Depp's wife made a "tired, terrible mistake" when she failed to declare the pair's dogs on her arrival to Australia last year, a court has heard.

"My client never had any intention to conceal the fact the dogs were in Australia," Mr Kirk said.

"She has made a tired, terrible mistake."

Commonwealth prosecutor Peter Callaghan SC earlier said regardless of Heard's state of mind, or arrangements, she was ultimately responsible for what was put on her arrival card.

The lawyer of Amber Heard told Southport Magistrates Court the Hollywood actress was jetlagged and anxious about her husband's injured hand when she flew into Australia in April last year.

"The laws apply to everyone ... no-one is entitled to put their legal entitlements to one side," he said.

The court also was played a video apology by the high-profile couple.

Heard has pleaded guilty to a charge of providing a false document after failing to tell customs she was travelling to the country with the pair's Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo.

"If you disrespect Australian law, they will tell you firmly," Depp says in the video, in apparent reference to Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce.

When Pistol and Boo's uncleared arrival in Australia was revealed last year, Mr Joyce During submissions to Magistrate said the two dogs should "bugger off" and threatened to euthanise the animals.

BIG GUIDE 37

THE MIGHTY ROCK RETURNS T he “Mighty Rock” Mick Pealing and his band return to Sunday Soultrain this Mothers Day as the big names keep rolling out each week from 3pm at Davey’s Hotel in Frankston. Sunday Soultrain just keeps getting bigger and bigger with some fantastic artists headed our way including Wilbur Wilde, Chris Wilson, The Detonators, Sammy Owen, Rod Paine and many more.

Mick Pealing was born in the 50’s in Adelaide, South Australia to an English migrant father and a local girl mother, both music lovers, Mick along with three sisters and a brother were brought up on a healthy menu of jazz and the eclectic playlist of 60’s commercial radio, which would play everything from Motown to Mersey and all stops in between.

Not actually knowing he could sing, or have a voice that might be pleasing to the ear, Mick decided one afternoon in the early 70’s to go to a local concert put on by some local musos, where he reluctantly got up to sing after being pointed out as someone who might know the words to “Alright Now”. Although he sang with his back to the audience, Mick sang the song well enough to be asked to join the band. This band contained two members, which in a couple of years would become “Stars”.

A reputation as a singer soon emerged and Mick, after trying his luck with local acts “Flight” and “Nantucket”, eventually came together with members of “AstraKhan” which featured Mal Eastick, Glyn Dowding and Andy Durant (who was about to go overseas for some time). Along with Graham Thompson, this became a 4-piece band known as “Flash” which specialised in hard rock covers from “Free” and “Deep Purple”, along with some original material.

After a year or so of supporting interstate acts at Hindley Street’s “Countdown” among other venues in South Australia, Beeb Birtles saw some potential and recommended the band to Michael Gudinski of Mushroom Records.

A deal was signed and the band by this time known as “Stars” went on to record two singles, “Quick On The Draw”(produced by Beeb) and “With A Winning Hand”.

Realising they might not have the ability or time to come up with enough songs for their first album, Andy Durant, who by this time had returned from overseas with a clutch of self penned songs, was approached and re-joined

the band. Former Little River Band bassist Roger MacLauchlan replaced Graham Thompson resulting in Stars first album, “Paradise”. Stars hit the road touring with acts like The Beach Boys, Linda Rondstadt, ELO also performing their own sold out headlining shows.

Andy Durant passed away in early 1980 from cancer and a fitting tribute was held later that year at The Palais Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne. Being one of the first of its kind “The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert” featured Andy’s songs performed by the remaining members of Stars, Cold Chisel, Renee Geyer, Richard Clapton and basically the cream of Australia’s rock talent at the time. The concert live double album topped the charts around the country, with all proceeds going to The Peter McCallum Cancer Clinic.

LIVE MUSIC

Fri, Sat, & Sun

Function area. No hire fee

Over the next three decades Mick continued to front his own bands, The Ideals, The Method and The Spaniards with former “Feretts” singer/songwriter Billy Miller. A single “God Is A Shield”, produced by Molly Meldrum, and mini album “Locked In A Dance” was released.

Today, “The Mick Pealing Band” continues strongly, featuring music from Mick’s past and his two solo albums, “Precarious” and “Grand Hotel”. Mick says, “the time seems right to get these great songs back on stage and performed live, after all… we have all the time in the world”.

“The Mighty Rock” Mick Pealing is joined by band mate’s including Chris Wilson (Broderick Smiths Big Combo, Buster Brown, Ideals, Angry Anderson, The Giants) at Davey’s Hotel Frankston as part of their Sunday Soultrain sessions on Mothers Day Sunday May 8.

The show starts at 3pm and is a free event. For further details visit daveys.com.au

Suzuki Vitara Gets Turbo Boost Suzuki Australia is on its way to becoming Australia’s Compact SUV leader, with the introduction of the new Vitara S Turbo model in 2WD & 4WD. The Vitara S Turbo, utilises Suzuki’s legendary 4x4 heritage, combined with strong SUV design and compact vehicle know how. This 1.4L turbocharged engine is coupled with a 6 speed automatic transmission, complemented by an aggressive design including a distinctive new chrome grille – all while delivering impressive fuel economy of 5.9L/100km.

The 1.4L Direct Injection Turbocharged engine underwent exhaustive development, as Suzuki’s engineers focused on minimising turbo lag.

Alloys, LED DRL’s, Foglights, Privacy Glass, Knee Airbag, Apple Carplay and Satellite Navigation, Suzuki S Turbo gives customers more value for money, in comparison to competitors specifications.

our consumer demand for the ever-popular turquoise with black roof, with stock issues hampering supply at launch. With two-tone colours making up over 60% of our incoming stock, and turquoise half of that, there will be more two-tone and bright colours available.”

In addition, Moore stated “Unlike other compact SUV’s, which have limited cargo space and ground clearance such as the Mazda CX3, the Suzuki Vitara has all the space, power and fuel economy needed to meet the lifestyle needs of our customers, plus true 4x4 ability (with ALLGRIP models).”

Moore continued “Suzuki is a youthful, vibrant brand so we want to see fun, fresh colours out on the streets – not just the standard monotone colours.”

Aside from initial stock shortages in 2015, the launch of Vitara has been extremely popular and a great step forward for Suzuki Australia.

A key strength of the Suzuki Vitara is its exciting colour range and vast number of personalisation options.

Andrew Moore states “The challenge now for Suzuki is to build awareness of Vitara, to ensure that we’re on the shopping list for those considering a compact SUV. I strongly believe that if more Mazda CX3 or Honda HR-V customers had experienced the Vitara, there would have been many different purchase outcomes.”

The S Turbo doesn’t fail to deliver, introducing a brand new two-tone colour to the range, with a bright red body with black roof, exclusive to the S Turbo.

This newly-developed boosterjet turbo engine, directly attaches the turbocharger to the cylinder Andrew Moore advised “Whilst we’re head and incorporates the exhaust manifold into the excited to introduce the cylinder head casting. bright red colour This design ensures optimum gas flow with minimal for S Turbo, heat loss through the turbo unit – delivering extra we haven’t power and torque, with outstanding fuel economy. forgotten Suzuki Australia General Manager Automobiles, Andrew Moore stated: “With many customers in small hatches considering compact SUV’s, we offer what our competitors can’t – better performance and value combined with light car fuel economy.”

The Vitara S Turbo, designed and manufactured in Europe delivers a high level of quality and premium features, all for a value-packed price of $29,990 Driveaway.

FISHINGREPORT I

n this week’s fishing report we discuss what species are on the bite and how the quality of fishing does not stop over winter. The cold water in fact entices pelagic fish of all sizes to the Continental shelf which is a shallow extension of land mass in which has a shallow depth of roughly 200meters. Compared to the thousands of meters in the open ocean, this allows warmer ocean currents to flow around Australia attracting Blue fin Tuna, Yellow Fin Tuna, striped tuna, Albacore, Sharks and other apex predators.

IN THE BAY: Whiting - Westernport has been on fire lately with bag limits of whiting still being achieved late into the season. The Middle spit has been a reliable area all season with some monster whiting being pulled out late season as well.

Other hot spots such as Crib point, Balnarring and Somers are good places to search for that trophy fish.

Snapper - There has been mass amounts of pinkies in Westernport this season in 2040ft of water with fish ranging from 30-40cm.

However, large snapper up to the 8kg mark have come on the bite towards the top end of Westernport creating prime opportunity for anglers of all ages to land the hard fighting fish of their dreams.

Squid -The Squid have been going crazy in Westernport and Port Phillip Bay with larger squid schooling up on Tyabb and quail bank.

Similar to Westernport, Port Phillip Bay has been producing some great bag limits in close by the weed beds off Mornington and Mt Martha.

Brought to you by:

Gummy Sharks - If you’re in the mood for some flake grab your rod and head to Westernport straight away! Good size fish are on the prowl around the western entrance feeding amongst the fast moving water.

Balnarring and Somers are also providing good numbers of fish up to 15kg.

WEST COAST: Tuna - Blue fin, Albacore and striped Tuna are currently spread throughout the west coast providing anglers with a chance to experience the speed and agility of these torpedo like fish.

Blue fin Tuna have been the main target as they provide great sports fishing with a challenging fight. As far as action goes there has been plenty of smaller albacore and striped tuna caught with some big Blue fin scrambled among them. So get your heavy gear ready and go and get them!

Happy Fishing Todd

NBA STAR CURRY OUT AT LAST TWO WEEKS S uperstar Stephen Curry is set to miss at least two weeks of the NBA playoffs, throwing added responsibility on Andrew Bogut and the rest of his Golden State Warriors team to defend their title.

Reigning league MVP Curry has been diagnosed with a grade one medial ligament strain in his knee and will miss at least two weeks before he is reassessed.

Warriors general manager Bob Myers said Curry's type of injury was historically one that keeps a player out for anywhere from two to three weeks.

"We'll know a little bit more hopefully after the first week. It's how his body responds to rest, treatment and things like that," Myers said.

The injury means he'll miss the rest of Golden State's first-round series against the Houston Rockets - Warriors lead 3-1 - and if the team progresses, probably a good portion of their second round, most likely against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Curry tweeted: "Thanks 4 all the prayers & messages. Can feel all the positive energy. God is Great! All things considered I'm Gonna be alright!"

four win in Houston on Sunday when he slipped on a wet patch on the floor.

The Warriors will look to close out their best-of-seven, first-round series against the Rockets on Wednesday and will take comfort from the way they have stepped up in Curry's absence.

He missed the whole second half after being injured on Sunday but his teammates picked up the slack to complete a comfortable win.

Curry also missed games two and three with a right ankle injury.

"When you have a team that is as together as ours is and cares about each other like ours does, you tend to pick up the fight a little bit," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr.

"Our guys sensed that we needed to come together."

Australian centre Bogut made it clear the Warriors backed their allround depth to overcome the loss of their point guard and main scoring weapon.

"Steph's our leader and MVP, but at the same time and without sounding insensitive to Steph, we have a game we are trying to win," Bogut said after the game four win.

"... We weren't around here lighting Curry suffered the injury during the game candles and holding hands."

Adelaide Utd take heart from Wanderers

A

delaide United hope Western Sydney have already played their biggest game of the season, Reds defender Michael Marrone says.

"You have got to enjoy these moments.

They don't come around too often, especially being at home, so we will enjoy it and prepare ourselves as best we can."

Western Sydney's incredible 5-4 extra-time semi-final victory set up a Sunday decider against United in Adelaide, with Marrone hoping the thriller was sapping for the Wanderers.

Adelaide's form striker Bruce Djite, who scored twice in the semi-final, jogged laps as his United teammates trained lightly on Tuesday.

Brisbane on Sunday, Adelaide waltzed into the grand final with a comfortable 4-1 semifinal triumph against Melbourne City on Friday night - securing two days' extra rest, and home ground advantage.

"We have been pretty lucky injury-wise, we are leading into a home grand final and really we have only got Eli injured," he said.

But Marrone said there was no fitness "Hopefully they have played their grand concern over Djite, leaving Adelaide with final. Hopefully. It was good for it go to extra- just one player unavailable for Sunday's time," Marrone told reporters on Tuesday. playoff - Eli Babalj, who had a knee reconstruction early in the season.

"Apart from that, (coach Guillermo Amor) has got a full squad to pick from.

The victory capped a remarkable rise for the "So when there is so much competition for Reds who were winless and last after eight places, you really have to perform to keep rounds. Since then, they have lost just once your spot on the park." in 20 games (15 wins and four draws).

Marrone said.

"But it's a big deal. It's a big thing to get into the grand final.

McGregor ends retirement speculation

T

wo days after announcing his UFC retirement, featherweight Conor McGregor says he hasn't quit at all before taking aim at the media circus surrounding the sport.

"I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting," the 27-year-old Irishman said in a statement on Thursday.

he refused to travel to Nevada for media work associated with the event.

Despite his insistence that McGregor should have honoured those obligations, UFC boss Dana White adopted a conciliatory tone following McGregor's original retirement announcement.

"I need to isolate myself now," McGregor said.

"I am facing a taller, longer, heavier man.

"There comes a time when I need to prepare properly this time. I can you need to stop handing not dance for you this time." out flyers and get back to the damn shop."

McGregor is widely acknowledged to be the biggest draw in the UFC, and his the statement was peppered with references to how much revenue he has generated and how much media work he had to do.

McGregor surged through the featherweight ranks before knocking out champion Jose Aldo of Brazil in 13 seconds in December.

He has become the UFCs hottest property with his outrageous trash-talking and vicious fighting skills.

Currently training in Iceland, McGregor was pulled from the card at UFC 200 in Las Vegas on July 9, where he was due to face Nate Diaz in a welterweight rematch of a bout he lost in March, after

Juventus win fifth straight Serie A crown J uventus won Serie A for the fifth season in a row without kicking a ball on Monday after Napoli, the only team who could have caught them, were sunk 1-0 by a late Radja Nainggolan goal at AS Roma.

Juventus, who have led the table since beating Napoli 1-0 in February, were left with an unassailable 12-point lead with three games each left to play as they clinched a record 31st league title.

The match, played at a half-empty Stadio Olimpico on a sunny bank holiday afternoon, was an anti-climatic end to a season which had at one stage promised to be one of the most exciting Italian title races for years.

The game between Serie A's two highestscoring sides was threatening to peter out into a tame goalless draw until Nainggolan

slotted the ball home in the 89th minute following a move started with a delicate pass from Roma substitute Francesco Totti.

During the first half of the season, the lead had changed almost weekly with AS Roma, Napoli, Inter Milan and Fiorentina all taking turns at the top.

But, as their rivals faltered, Juventus, who beat Fiorentina 2-1 on Sunday, put together an astonishing run in which they took 73 points out a possible 75 to win the title with games to spare.

Roma had more possession but Napoli, whose top-scorer Gonzalo Higuain returned after a three-match ban, carved out the better chances and Jose Callejon had a first-half goal ruled out by a hairline offside decision.

Four nations want to host pink-ball Tests

F

our Test nations are looking to play day-night cricket in the next year according to Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland.

Reporting back from International Cricket Council (ICC) meetings in Dubai on the weekend, Australia's cricket supremo believes the pink-ball format has won over world cricket.

"There is a very broad-ranging commitment to Day-Night Test cricket," he said on Tuesday.

"Three or four member countries are planning on hosting Test cricket under lights in the course of the next 12 months."

attendances at Adelaide Oval.

Negotiations are ongoing between Australian and South African cricket officials, with A.B. De Villiers' side touring Australia this summer.

Sutherland said the sell-job to the South Africans would pick up pace in June.

"I continue to be optimistic about the Adelaide Test match being played as a daynight Test match," he said.

"It's a big opportunity. It will be a bigger crowd than the South African players have ever seen before.

"We probably won't see any firm decisions on that until after IPL is over and their players get back home.

Sutherland revealed subcontinental giants India and Pakistan, as well as trans-Tasman "Things are heading in the right direction." rivals Australia and New Zealand were the countries looking to host pink-ball Tests.

Australia has offered to provide the pink balls to South Africa well in advance of their Australia is still yet to lock in a follow-up to visit, and to craft a schedule including plenty the Adelaide day-night Test against New of suitable practice while on tour.

Irrespective of whether the Adelaide Test

is played under lights, Sutherland reported an inexorable shift towards the new format beyond the four countries keen to play in the next cycle of the calendar.

"Other countries subject to ensuring their lights have the appropriate lux levels (are interested)," he said.

"To a person, full member countries and their CEOs stated their absolute support for Test cricket being played under lights."

The ICC board minutes, released on Monday, confirm that support.

"It was reiterated that administrators must embrace innovation and understand the demands and expectations of the spectators and fans, keeping alive and growing interest in the traditional format of the game," the statement reads.

Last week, Sutherland foreshadowed a blockbuster Ashes Test on Australian soil when England tour over the 2017/18 summer.

Storm face fight to keep Koroibete M

elbourne coach Craig Bellamy concedes the Storm have a fight on their hands to keep Marika Koroibete beyond this season with the Australian Rugby Union reportedly trying to poach the electrifying winger.

Koroibete, who played union while at school in Fiji, is off-contract at the Storm and looms as a likely target for the 15-man game.

"I don't know anything about that but if that's the case Marika will have a decision to make," Bellamy said of reports of the poaching raid.

"It's going to be his decision and hopefully he decides to stay with us."

The Melbourne Rebels would be his most likely destination if he was to shift to union, with the Super Rugby club understood to be in the market for a powerful winger.

Koroibete also remains close with fellowFijian Sefanaia Naivalu who is signed to the Rebels until the end of next season.

The pair played together as juniors and Naivalu's quick success could be a motivating factor given he was recently named in an extended Wallabies squad for a training camp.

However Koroibete's loss would be another blow to an already ailing Storm backline, given he was their leading tryscorer in 2015 after crossing 16 times.

"We'd really like to hang on to him -

obviously he's been a wonderful contributor to our team since he's been here," Bellamy said.

"You'd probably nearly class him as a crowd favourite with the way he plays ... he just does everything flat out."

Winger Matt Duffie shifted to the 15-man game last year when he departed the Melbourne club for the Auckland Blues, while Sisa Waqa and Kurt Mann have also recently moved on.

"We wouldn't like as a code, and certainly us as a club, we wouldn't like to lose Marika to rugby union ... I think that would be a bad thing for our game to lose a player like him," the coach continued.

"Everyone loves watching him play but it's probably going to happen more and more ... we just need to be a little bit aware it's ok to be luring rugby union players over here but we don't want to be losing our top players to rugby union either.

"That might be something for the NRL to think about."

Emotional Rance Bucks backs Pies' says sorry for Cloke to return to AFL Watts hit R C ollingwood coach Nathan Buckley is confident Travis Cloke's best football isn't behind him but he can't say when the key forward will be back in black and white at AFL level.

going to be very important for us as our year progresses," Buckley said on Fox Footy.

In his first VFL game since being dropped, Cloke managed two goals and five possessions in a side well beaten by Essendon's reserves.

"This is short term but he needs to find that thirst for the contest again and the second, third and fourth efforts that were so prevalent in him when he plays his best footy ... we're looking for that."

His replacement, American beanpole Mason Cox, won widespread praise for his role in the Pies' Anzac Day demolition of the Bombers, and is likely to keep his spot for the side's trip to Perth to take on West Coast.

"We need to get the best out of him and we need to work out what that looks like.

ichmond defender Alex Rance has apologised for the cowardly hit on Jack Watts that has landed him a two-week AFL suspension and, in his own words, placed him at the lowest point in his career.

Rance elbowed the Melbourne forward in Sunday night's loss to the Demons but said the action was out of character, pleading with the AFL public not to let it define him.

It wouldn't appear to be a quick fix, with Buckley admitting injuries and form had hampered Cloke for the past two seasons.

"It's certainly something I don't want to be remembered for. It was a really stupid emotional act," he said.

"The discussions I had with him were about getting back to enjoying his footy and finding that thirst for the contest that's missing at the moment," Buckley said.

Lions got ahead of themselves

Buckley said Cloke, who managed five goals in the first four games of the AFL season, would be given time to rediscover "We'll give him as much opportunity as we his best form. need to at VFL level to get that back, to "I think Trav can still be a really damaging prove his worth to come back in." player in this competition ...

T

he Brisbane Lions are copping coach Justin Leppitsch's stinging criticism that they got ahead of themselves after their first AFL victory of the season, squarely on the chin.

Defender Darcy Gardiner conceded the Lions might have let their Q-Clash boilover a fortnight ago get to their heads, resulting in a 53-point belting at the hands of the Western Bulldogs on Saturday.

"It was our first win, everyone was quite happy - as you are with your first win of the season," Gardiner said on Tuesday.

"I guess our preparation probably wasn't as good leading into the Bulldogs game as the Gold Coast game was.

"That's a big focus this week for the team to make sure they're on top of it - don't get ahead of ourselves, if we win or lose.

"We've just got to get back to what was working for us."

The result has brought the battling AFL side back down to earth with a thud.

The Lions had 51 fewer contested possessions than the Bulldogs and 40 fewer inside attacking 50 entries.

It gets no easier with in-form Sydney, one of the AFL's premier sides when it comes to contested football, set to visit the Gabba on Sunday.

Gardiner admitted there is more than a sense of deja vu about Brisbane's season to date.

"Over the last couple of seasons, it's been happening, but we're looking to change that and fix what went wrong last week," he said.

"We've got a lot of challenges early in the season so if we can stay positive and build through them, we've got plenty to look forward to."

Bombers need to regroup for Blues I

n an AFL season like no other, the challenges "We haven't done anything different in the other keep coming for Essendon and their coach two weeks but we need to address why that John Worsfold. may be the case."

Without their 12 suspended stars and relying on top-up players, the Bombers have exceeded all outside expectations in the opening month, having beaten Melbourne and been largely competitive in losses to Gold Coast, Port Adelaide and Geelong.

They took a significant step backwards in the first half against resurgent Collingwood on Anzac Day, with the Magpies leading by a whopping 76 points at the long interval.

Essendon did at least stem the bleeding by outscoring the Magpies by seven points in the second half of the 22.10 (142) to 11.7 (73) trouncing, but the damage had already been done.

Papley given AFL Rising nod

T

om Papley's outstanding start to his AFL career has earned the Sydney youngster the latest Rising Star nomination.

The sluggish starts are sure to be a major topic heading into Sunday's clash against traditional rivals Carlton, who claimed their opening win of 2016 away to Fremantle on Sunday.

The 19-year-old kicked two goals and had 20 disposals on Saturday as the Swans beat West Coast by 39 points.

Having spent several years as a Blues assistant coach, Worsfold is well aware of the depth of the rivalry between the two clubs.

"He was fantastic in that first half, so lively and added some real bite all over the ground," said Sydney coach John Longmire.

"I know from being at Carlton in the past it's seen as a really traditional clash, being neighbouring suburbs," said Worsfold.

"A few Essendon people even back before Christmas did say to me that they look forward to the Carlton clash as much as any clash throughout the year."

The match will have an added edge as the two "Three out of five of our starts have been pretty clubs were widely predicted to fill the bottom average and two have been OK," said Worsfold. two spots on the ladder in 2016.

"That puts the weighting in favour of we've got to do something about it.

"He was right up and about which was a real credit to him.

"West Coast are a good team and it was a hot game and he was right at the forefront of it."

The Swans took Papley with pick 14 in the rookie draft at the end of last year and he has played every game so far this season.

Tigers' morale hit by another poor start FOOTBALL

ichmond star Jack Riewoldt admits morale isn't great at Punt Road after another disappointing start to an AFL season but he backed the Tigers to pull off their almost-customary Houdini act to play finals for a fourth year running.

Skipper Trent Cotchin has borne the brunt of the criticism leveled at the Tigers for their poor start and Riewoldt took the opportunity to fire back at a perceived media bias against him.

"I could probably go into a few words on what I think about the way he's been treated with a few expletives," he said.
