Deborah Lee James also told Pentagon reporters Wednesday that she is planning to pay drone pilots a $US35,000 ($A45,436.84) a year retention bonus to encourage them to stay in the service.

The 35,000 a year retention bonus would be an increase over $US25,000 ($A32,454.89) bonus the service has been allowed to provide. And all drone pilots would be eligible once their service contract is up.

Led Zeppelin to pay copyright legal costs

L

ed Zeppelin may have won the copyright war over its creation of “Stairway to Heaven,” but it’s lost its battle to recoup nearly $US800,000 ($A1.05 million) in legal fees.

Judge R Gary Klausner ruled on Monday that the band’s songwriters, record label and associated companies were not entitled to claim legal fees and other costs because the copyright lawsuit against them was not frivolous.

A Los Angeles federal jury in June found that guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant did not lift the introduction of “Stairway” from an obscure instrumental written by the late Randy Wolfe, founder of the band Spirit.

The trust for Wolfe, better known as Randy California, claimed Page and Plant were familiar with his work and stole a riff from the short tune “Taurus” that

repeats throughout the first two minutes of their 1971 classic rock anthem.

Wolfe’s trust had been seeking credit for the song and millions of dollars in damages. But jurors found the tunes were not similar enough for Led Zeppelin to have violated the 1968 copyright protection of “Taurus.”

Lawyers for Led Zeppelin sought legal and other fees totalling $US793,000 after insurance companies rejected covering such an old claim.

They argued the lawsuit was frivolous, it was intended to shake down the rock stars for money and that awarding defence costs would deter future meritless copyright claims.

Klausner rejected those arguments, saying he had found the lawsuit had enough merit to go to trial and there was no evidence the plaintiff “harboured nefarious motives.”

Sheeran faces music copyright lawsuit

H

eirs of the composer for Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” are suing British musician Ed Sheeran, claiming his hit song “Thinking Out Loud” copies core elements of the late soul singer’s 1973 track.

Women say they were horrified after the man relieved himself at the show in February.

But, feeling its warmth, she turned around to see a man doing up his fly.

“We are so appalled at this awful and disgusting behaviour and that our valued fan Belle has had to endure (this) at one of our shows,” Spiderbait posted on its Facebook page late on Monday.

“I was really shocked,” she told 3AW on Tuesday.

He said fighter pilots are leaving at a higher rate, and that improving their quality of service as well as beefing up the retention bonus will help address the problem. Fuelling that problem, he said, has been the persistent overseas deployments as the US has been engaged in air wars for more than two decades.

"If we take a balanced approach, we're hoping that we can get these folks to stay," he said.

Goldfein said that so far the pilot shortage isn't affecting air operations over Iraq, Syria and Libya. But the ongoing deployments continue to affect pilots' decisions on whether to stay in the service.

Pope treats homeless to swim and a pizza P

ope Francis has been treating dozens of Rome's homeless to a day at the beach and dinner in a pizzeria on the way back.

The pontiff's almsgiver, Polish monsignor Konrad Krajewski, told the La Stampa daily he drives a van with 10 people to a beach near Rome for a dip in the sea, sunbathing and then pizza. The Vatican supplies the swimsuits and beach towels.

Krajewski told Italian state radio on

Sunday the afternoon outings reflect the homeless' "desire for normality" in their lives.

Many of them live near Vatican City, where, at the Pope's direction, showers and barbers have been set up on the edge of St Peter's Square for their use.

Aided by Swiss Guards, the almsgiver also distributes hot meals to homeless people at Italian train stations.

Rare typo adds $$$ to Potter book

A

first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone containing a rare error is expected to fetch up to STG20,000 ($A34,000) when it goes on sale.

The edition is one of only 500 hardback copies printed which contains the mistake on page 53 of the repetition of "1 wand" in Harry's list of school supplies for Hogwarts, which was removed in subsequent editions.

Described as being in exceptionally fine condition, the copy of JK Rowling's first novel in the boy wizard series is estimated to reach STG15,000-20,000 at Bonhams Fine Books and Manuscripts Sale in London on November 9.

Bonhams' Head of Books and Manuscripts Matthew Haley said: "As the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has a special place in the affections of the millions of readers across the world and the proof reading error about the wand in the first edition has, of course, become a treasured piece of Harry Potter arcana.

"Like most enduring books aimed at younger readers, the Harry Potter books also have wide appeal to adults and there is a strong market among collectors for first editions.

"This copy is in excellent condition - one of the very best I've seen - and we're expecting a lot of interest."

No information is available about the current owner.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first published on June 30 1997 by Bloomsbury and became an instant bestseller. Over 400 million copies of the Harry Potter series have been sold worldwide.

Carpageddon plan 'could kill native fish'

U

sing a herpes virus to wipe out European carp plaguing the Murray River could ultimately kill off native fish as well, a researcher warns.

The plan, dubbed "Carpageddon", is slated to begin in late 2018 and will eradicate 95 per cent of the pest's population over the next 30 years.

While the virus doesn't affect other fish, University of Adelaide research shows that decomposing carp, if they're left in the water, will dissolve oxygen levels.

And this will endanger native species such as Murray cod, silver perch and rainbow trout, as well as crustaceans.

"If we're removing oxygen from the water column, native fish will die because they have a

much lower tolerance to low oxygen levels than carp," PhD student Richie Walsh told AAP on Sunday.

He said native populations would start to suffer with oxygen levels of less than 4mg per litre, and that huge numbers of dead carp could bring it down to at least this level.

"It would be ironic. In trying to remove the carp we'd be potentially causing extinctions in local native fish," Mr Walsh said.

"Obviously it's a good idea to remove carp but not without trying to figure out what the side effects will be.

"We've had carp in these sorts of numbers for about 60 years.

"So there's no rush. We have time. We should do the research."

California wildfire destroys 4 homes

F

lames racing through dry brush have destroyed at least four homes and forced more than 1000 people to flee a northern California lake community that was evacuated in a devastating wildfire last year.

Authorities ordered about 1200 residents to leave 500 homes on Sunday as the blaze surged east of the town of Lower Lake.

The wildfire spread and crews faced hot weather and little cloud cover as they tried to get a handle on the flames burning largely out of control.

"The fire activity could change in a moment's notice right now," said Suzie Blankenship, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

More than 700 firefighters are battling the wildfire burning east of Highway 29 in Lake County, and many more are expected to join the fight throughout the day, Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said.

A blaze raging through dry vegetation in Northern California jumped a containment line, setting several houses on fire and prompting firefighters and volunteers to evacuate horses, goats and other animals as homes burn around them.

N

issan Motor Co., Ltd recently unveiled the working prototype of its futuristic BladeGlider vehicle, combining zero-emissions with highperformance in a revolutionary sports car design.

The vehicles, developed from concept cars first shown at the Tokyo Auto Show in 2013, have arrived in Brazil to symbolise future technologies that will combine Intelligent Mobility, environmentally-friendly impact and sports-car driving capabilities.

Carlos Ghosn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., said: “These prototypes epitomise Nissan’s drive to expand its Intelligent Mobility strategy, where driving pleasure combines with environmental responsibility.

Nissan believes that enthusiasts should look forward to a zero emission future and BladeGlider is a perfect demonstration of that.

It’s the electric vehicle for car-lovers.”

The debut of the BladeGlider prototypes forms part of Nissan’s ongoing commitment to the development of zeroemission vehicles and new automotive technologies including autonomous drive systems and connectivity. Nissan already sells the world’s highest-volume zeroemission car, the LEAF, and is pioneering Intelligent Mobility systems that will be deployed in a range of vehicles over coming years.

With the BladeGlider, Nissan’s vision was for an agile, efficient EV that would provide new dimensions of driving fun and excitement - a car that would ‘glide’, thanks to the near-silent performance of its electric powertrain and aerodynamic shape.

After two years of work on design, engineering and development, Nissan BladeGlider has evolved further into an exciting, real-life study into the potential of advanced EV performance.

NISSAN BLADEGLIDER

Brings Cutting-Edge Intelligent Mobility to Life

BladeGlider epitomises Intelligent Mobility, a philosophy to make its cars more exciting by redefining how they are driven, powered and integrated into society.

The demonstration models feature an advanced chassis configuration with a narrow front track and wider rear track for optimum aerodynamic efficiency and handling stability.

High-waisted, rear-hinged dihedral doors provide a dramatic entry and exit to the cabin. The open roof of BladeGlider is reinforced with an integrated rollover protection structure, providing the

Power is 100 percent electric, with exceptional powertrain performance delivered by Nissan’s technical partner for the BladeGlider project, UK-based Williams Advanced Engineering.

Maximum speed of the demonstration models is in excess of 190km/h*, with 0-100km/h taking less than 5 seconds*. The rear wheels’ drive is provided by two 130kW electric motors – one for each wheel.

The system features torque vectoring, controlling the torque delivered to the driven wheels, improving the handling even further.

With torque vectoring, if the car starts to understeer, it automatically sends more torque to the outside wheel to restore the handling balance.

Designed to add to the driving experience rather than govern it, the torque vectoring systems has three settings: off, agile and drift mode.

Power is supplied by a high performance five module lithium-ion 220kW battery. Bespoke cooling systems have been developed for both the battery and the motors.

The interior of the BladeGlider reflects the vehicles’ sporting intentions, with four point safety harnesses for each occupant. The seats offer exceptional support to sides and legs of the driver and exhilaration of an open-topped race car with passengers. The seats are trimmed in a highly tactile blend of fabric and epoxy resin the safety of a coupé. coating, resulting in a tough and grippy Wheel-mounted controls for BladeGlider’s material that has the effect of comfortably systems feed into an advanced display adhering occupants securely in place. showing speed, state of battery charge, There are two colour trims – Cyber Green regeneration mode and torque map. and Stealth Orange.

AUSSIE TEST COULD HELP RARE, UGLY FISH

“Australia is one of the last places where it can scientists have still reliably Aussie developed a cutting-edge test that could give the ugly but be found” endangered largetooth sawfish a better chance of survival.

They’ve found a way to reliably test large bodies of water for the DNA of the prehistoric-looking fish, and that will make key habitats easier to identify.

Until now researchers have had to rely on costly fish surveys and the knowledge of locals to understand where the critically endangered species lives, but the new test promises to change that.

Professor Colin Simpfendorfer, from James Cook University, says the technique has proven to be accurate at remote water holes in the Northern Territory.

It’s less effective in flowing rivers, but he expects that will be overcome as the technology is refined.

“This is very much a trial phase and it will be solved quite easily given some more time,” he says.

The test is no small development for the species, which may already be extinct in 50 countries. Northern Australia is one of the last places where it can still reliably be found.

“We don’t even know if they still exist in many countries.

Applying this approach globally will enable us to rapidly find threatened populations and prioritise their protection.”

The testing technique is known as eDNA, or environmental DNA. Prof Simpfendorfer says its applications are not limited to fresh water or conservation applications.

“There is a big push to roll it out globally. It has many other potential uses, such as detecting invasive pest species at ports.”

A sawfish caught in Papua New Guinea. Australian scientists have developed a cutting-edge test that could give the critically endangered largetooth sawfish a better chance of survival, by testing large bodies of water for the DNA of the fish, promising a easier way to identify where it lives.

Gaming improves school grades: study O

nline gaming may be making students smarter but Facebook is no good for their grades, according to new research conducted in Melbourne.

Associate Professor Alberto Posso, from RMIT’s School of Economics, Finance and Marketing, says moderate use of video games could help students to apply and sharpen skills learned at school.

Posso investigated the links between gaming and school scores by testing 12,000 Australian 15-year-olds in maths, reading and science using the globally recognised Program for International Student Assessment.

Data on the students’ online activities and habits was also collected.

It was found the students who played online games almost every day scored 15 points above the average in maths and 17 points above the average in science.

However, those who played every day didn’t perform quite as well, said Posso. It has been a theory among many psychologists that there are characteristics in games that can improve the cognitive ability of players, but there hasn’t been much empirical evidence to point towards whether there is an affect on not.

Posso says his study, published in the International Journal of Communication, found that in terms of school grades, online gaming has a positive effect.

“When you play online games you’re solving puzzles to move to the next level and that involves using some of the general knowledge and skills in maths, reading and science that you’ve been taught during the day,” Posso said.

Lydia Winters, at podium, shows off Microsoft’s “Minecraft”, a popular game with school aged kids.

Too much Facebook, however, doesn’t mean they won’t do games into teaching - so long as they’re not violent ones. well outside school in the labor market, added Posso.

This said, he’s not advocating daily use of video games.

Samsung launches water resistant Note 7 S

amsung Electronics has unveiled its new phablet, Galaxy Note 7, a curvededge smartphone that comes equipped with a stylus, is fully water-resistant and boasts of an iris scanner, to the media in Seoul.

The smartphone will hit the stores in the United States and South Korea on August 19, after which it will be available to buy in other countries till September, a company representative said.

The phone is priced at around $900, although it may vary from one market to another, he added.

Available in four colours - black, golden, silver and metallic light blue - the phone has a 5.7 inch screen, 12 and 5 megapixel cameras, as well as an S-Pen stylus.

Measuring 153.50 x 73.90 x 7.90mm, and weighing 345 grams, the Note 7 can be charged wirelessly, although its 3500mAh battery is not removable as in the case of an earlier version, the Galaxy S7 that was launched in February.

At the presentation, the company also demonstrated the new phone's complete resistance to water, making it suitable for use in the shower and even while shallow-diving.

"All features of the phone can be used under water, from sending messages to writing notes using the stylus," a public relations official of the firm told EFE.

The latest offering from Samsung can also scan the owner's iris, allowing it to block the phone or certain functions "faster than the fingerprintidentifying feature," she added.

The phone is powered by a quad-core

Snapdragon 820 processor in the US and the octa-core Exynos 8890 in the rest of the world, has a 4 GB RAM and can store up to 32 GB of data, expandable up to 256 GB with a Micro SD card.

Your Horoscopes ARIES At the start of the week an exciting opportunity could come your way. Your first reaction is that you think that’s wonderful but when you start to think about it you will realize that you’ll have to perform really well and you could be a bit scared about that. You are confident enough, Aries, so don’t let this throw you off balance.

TAURUS This week will be a week to search for things. You’ve probably made a few decisions lately or taken some steps that lead you to a new path. The new thing is gone now and the glamour disappears as well. That’s only natural. As soon as you get to know something better you will start to see the less beautiful sides as well.

GEMINI This week you will realize that you have made so much progress compared to a while ago. You have come further than you thought was possible. That gives you a wonderful feeling.

You have the idea you have reached a new height, a height that offers you the sight of new possibilities.

CANCER Lately you have been worried about what people think and say about you. You found it important that they had positive thoughts about you but you weren’t sure about that. As a result you would make extra efforts or you started feeling very insecure about yourself and that’s not a good thing of course.

LEO Things are becoming better. You are starting to notice it on all kinds of levels. You will notice it even more this week. Some planets are in very favourable positions for you right now. You feel strong and conscious but you also have a very optimistic view on life.

VIRGO On one hand this week is going to be a quiet week but on the other hand it won’t be. It’ll be quiet because you are doing the things you like and that are useful as well. Not so quiet because there are changes coming that you can’t do anything about.

LIBRA Last week was a week of renewal and movement. This week will bring you the same thing. On top of that ambition and goal orientation will become important. You’ll be able to use a lot of energy to make an effort to make progress. That’s what is meant to happen: progress.

SCORPIO Every Scorpio knows its moments where (s)he is insecure and wonders if (s)he can do what others ask from him/her. A lot of Scorpio’s look confident while deep inside they don’t feel confident at all but that makes others expect a lot of them. If that’s the case with you as well you could be bothered by that once in a while. But not this week.

SAGITTARIUS You have been in a rut lately. You didn’t see it clearly last week because you were occupied with other things but this week it will become very clear that you are ready for some new challenges. Funnily enough you also get scared with every idea that comes up because you’re afraid to leave the familiar things behind.

Mila Kunis recalls bad mom moments A

few weeks ago Mila Kunis, Christina Applegate, Annie Mumolo and Kathryn Hahn were curled up on couches in a West Hollywood hotel discussing topics most mothers would prefer to avoid.

The actresses, stars of the new comedy Bad Moms, were recounting some not so successful moments raising their children.

Kunis and Mumolo told how they forgot to strap their daughters in their car seats, then took off down Los Angeles’ freeways without realising.

Hahn remembers playfully tossing her baby son in the air and forgetting a fan was whirling above at high speed.

“I almost decapitated my son,” Hahn sheepishly said.

Applegate told how she tried to convince her five-year-old daughter Sadie it was OK to use dental floss picked out of a rubbish can.

“She said, ‘No, you just took that out of the trash can’,” Applegate laughed.

“I’m like, ‘It was in there for two seconds and no-one has used it’.

“She said, ‘It was in the trash can, Mum’!”

Bad Moms, also starring Kristen Bell, Jada Pinkett Smith and Wanda Sykes, follows Amy Mitchell (Kunis) as she attempts to raise two children, hold a job, put up with a slacker husband and satisfy the high expectations of the head of the parent-teacher association (Applegate).

When it all gets too much, Amy goes rogue, aligning herself with two other rebel mums.

Applegate says there is too much pressure on parents and children to be perfect and the movie explores that.

“Is it the internet?” Applegate asked.

“Is it because everyone has an f-ing opinion about everything.

“Are people so damn scared our kids won’t be perfect?

“I don’t want my kid to be perfect because then she will be complacent.

“I want her to always know practice is progress, it’s not perfect.

“I think that’s what this movie is about.

“It is OK to be a bad mum.

“It is OK to fail.

“We don’t need to be perfect

because that is setting a standard for our kids that is unrealistic.”

Kunis, who welcomed her daughter with actor husband Ashton Kutcher in 2014 and is pregnant with their second, said she grew up poor in Russia, a life her children will not have to endure.

Kunis is not sure if that is a good thing.

“They are going to be so privileged and will grow up in a world where everything is so accessible from information to material things.

“How do you teach a work ethic to a child that doesn’t need a work ethic?

“I grew up so poor I was like, ‘Doesn’t everybody drink ketchup with water for soup’?”

“For her, she is going to have everything.”

When Kunis’ nieces came to visit her in Los Angeles she did not take them to a premiere or Hollywood parties.

She took them to skid row, a notorious area in the city’s crimeriddled downtown area populated by the homeless, drug addicts and mentally ill.

“That’s real life.” * Bad Moms opened in Australia on August 11.

Ozzy Osbourne having sex addiction therapy O

zzy Osbourne has revealed he is undergoing therapy for a “sex addiction” that nearly resulted in the disintegration of his marriage to Sharon Osbourne.

The 67-year-old Black Sabbath singer said in a statement that he was “mortified” at the effect of his behaviour on his family.

The announcement came after hair stylist Michelle Pugh told People magazine she had a “very real relationship” with the rocker, lasting four years.

Earlier this year, Osbourne moved out of the family home, with Sharon Osbourne suggesting in May that their 34-year marriage could come to an end.

After reports of the split, the 63-year-old told US television chat show The Talk that she had “no

idea” if she shared a future with her husband.

However, the couple later indicated they were back together.

Osbourne said in a statement: “Over the last six years, I have been dealing with a sex addiction. I’m sorry if Ms Pugh took our sexual relationship out of context.

“I’d also like to apologise to the other women I have been having sexual relationships with.

“Out of bad comes good.

Since the press exposed this, I have gone into intense therapy. I am mortified at what my behaviour has done to my family.

New Voice For Trial Kennedy Tim T

im Morrison’s been on a rock n’roll road trip since re-appearing on The Voice and becoming one of the top four finalists on Delta Goodrem’s team. Before moving in a solo-music direction, Tim toured extensively out front for Melbourne rock outfit Trial Kennedy. Once touted as the next big thing in Australian music, the band also received great praise for their debut album New Manic Art with some critics claiming it should be nominated for album of the year.

THE INFERNOS ROCKABILLY RAGE E

xciting rockabilly trio The Infernos are bringing a burning new energy in the Australian music scene with their unique ‘pommiebilly’ sound. Local music and dance fans are in for a real treat when The Infernos finally make the trip ‘Down South’ to Sunday Soultrain at Davey’s Hotel in Frankston on September 4.

Citing influences from The Deltas, The Polecats, Restless and The Jets. The Infernos repertoire is a smokin’ hot bag of original songs and obscure covers performed with a modern day energy and fiery attitude.

UK lead singer/songwriter/bassist Don Wycherley played with various UK bands before forming The Infernos with guitarist Rob Citroni and drummer David Rogers and deciding to hit the Australian rockabilly scene with their 80s influenced neo-rockabilly.

With this classic three-piece set up, The Infernos can be seen and heard playing their style of up-tempo, backbeat-driven rockabilly at festivals and major events all around the country.

Since their inception, the trio have released two albums “On Fire” in 2011 and their most recent “Still Fired Up” which has rocketed them into the limelight attracting rave reviews, radio airplay and full houses at all their shows.

The Infernos have the songs, the energy, and most of all – they have the right attitude. See for yourself when The Infernos bring their rockabilly rage to Davey’s for Sunday Soultrain from 3pm on September 4.

SAFARI MOTEL – Five Star Soul S

afari Motel burst onto the scene back in 2012 and quite literally has been exploding ever since. With a big band sound seeped in soul, funk and blues it’s little wonder their mix of feel-good, high energy original funk grooves has earned them a place in the thriving Melbourne music scene as one of the most sought after live acts.

Nicole Nehemia’s voice holds that intensity of range and she projects her voice powerfully. I reckon she could break glass if push came to shove. However, just as easily she can do soft, mellow and sensual lyrics making her perfect as front woman for the band. With the bands combined cool bass licks, edgy lead riffs, groovy keys that glues together with some mighty tight drumming, you can see why they’re hurtling towards stardom fast while leaving fans grasping for more.

Constant demand from their loyal legion of fans inspired the Peninsula based group to release their second album Safari Motel Live @The Factory recently to rave reviews. Its sophisticated, sexy sound doesn’t disappoint, especially with the teaser of an original song thrown in the mix entitled Trouble, which ultimately is preparing everyone for their third album consisting of all originals.

Safari Motel have certainly sky rocketed to the upper stratosphere and it ‘aint lookin’ like they’ll be stopping any time soon. Their popularity grows with each performance so expect to hear a lot more from this band.

Catch Safari Motel and their unique blend of five-star soul when they return to Mornington’s Royal Hotel from 3pm on Sunday September 4. For more information find Safari Motel on Facebook.

I’m on the lookout for a new companion that I can share the next stage of my life with. My favourite friends have only two legs, so I will need to be the only fur-child in our home. I am really good at meeting new people, and I love being social with my human friends!

I have a very impressive coat, and I will need some assistance to keep it looking tip top. I may be an older boy, but I still like to be active each day. If you like going for runs, I am sure I can still keep up!

Chimps' similarity to people "demands special consideration and respect," NIH director Francis Collins said in 2011.

Spraetz said those to be moved to Louisiana include about 140 in the Alamagordo Primate Facility in New Mexico, 138 in Bastrop, Texas, at M.D. Anderson's Keeling Centre for Comparative Medicine and Research, and 81 at Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio.

NIH said Alamagordo officials will begin transferring chimpanzees as soon as possible, with the last animals expected to be in Chimp Haven in autumn 2021.

Federally owned animals at Keeling will be moved next, followed by federally supported chimps at Texas Biomed. The last of that facility's federally owned animals were moved this spring, the statement said.

FISHINGREPORT I

n today’s report we provide an insight into the secrets behind some of the biggest winter gummy sharks we’ve seen in a while. I don’t recommend keeping these 20kg+ fish. However, don’t let that stop you targeting them as it’s a massive achievement due to their sheer size and power. These toothless sharks will smash the bait like a steam train; take off upstream in the effort to gain as much oxygen as possible, while fiercely shaking their head and tail with the intent of dislodging the hook. All of this occurs in a split second so be sure to be prepared. This leads me to the three main steps to capture the gummy shark of your dreams.

Step 1: Preparation

there are some specific areas that produce good sharks at certain times. During summer and winter offshore is underrated as it can consistently produce 15kg+ fish.

The key to track them down is to look for structure like a reef, a pinnacle, a gutter or hole of some sort. Basically something that will shelter bait fish from the current. This method can be used inshore as well. All you have to do now is present your baits without them spinning in the current, kick your legs up and wait. Good luck to everyone and check out our face book page at ‘Amazing Bait and tackle’ to see where and when people are catching these amazing sharks.

Enjoy your time out there and send through pictures to our face book if you manage to catch one!

Being prepared is arguably the most important step towards landing any gummy Todd shark, especially a big one. Before you even think about targeting the shark itself, bait should be your main priority. Freshly caught bait is ideal as it still has 100% of its natural oils and odour. This is important for gummy’s as they rely on their sense of smell for hunting. This is also why they are referred to as the smooth hound shark.

When it comes to specific baits, juvenile fish like yakkas, Australian salmon and silver Trevally are great with the inclusion of squid and eel. Most of these species can be caught in shallow water with sabiki rigs (squid jigs for the squid). If you don’t have time to catch these fish Seaford bait provides a very fresh alternative. Now that you’ve got your bait you need to rig up.

A heavy rod is good to have when fishing Westernport due to the fast running current.

So, 6-10kg or similar to that is a good place to start. Overhead and spinning combos are both good. As far as what rig to use, you can’t go wrong with a running sinker rig. It is also important to have a big enough sinker to hold bottom. 20 ounces is sometimes needed in Westernport! Although, 6-10 ounce depending on where your fishing and what depth is a good start. Next up is finding the gummy sharks.

Step2: Finding the perfect spot In Westernport, gummy sharks cruise through basically everywhere. However,

SBW injury adds to All Black centres doubt

S

onny Bill Williams' season-ending injury has widened a rare chink in the All Blacks' armour for the Wallabies to exploit in their bid for Bledisloe Cup glory.

News that Williams will miss New Zealand's entire Rugby Championship/Bledisloe Cup campaign after partially rupturing an Achilles tendon in the Rio Olympics sevens is major blow to the world champions, who were already casting around for a new centre combination.

They were counting on Williams to be the main man in their midfield following the Test retirement of centre greats Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith after last year's World Cup triumph.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's uncertainty over his centres was highlighted in the recent 3-0 home series win over Wales as he experimented with combinations in Williams' absence.

A veteran of two successful World Cup campaigns, Williams had been expected to miss only the opening Test against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday week before making his return after sevens duty.

His injury leaves Hansen with three centres in his squad Ryan Crotty, Malakai Fekitoa and George Moala - though he'll surely add another.

While Crotty is dependable, Fekitoa has struggled to kick on at international level and Blues' strongman Moala could get his chance after impressing in his outing against Wales, despite having just two Test caps.

Which ever way Hansen turns, they'll take time to develop as a midfield combination, potentially disrupting the All Blacks' usually lethal wide attack.

Against them, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika can field his World Cup combination of Matt Giteau and Tevita Kuridrani to capitalise on any defensive lapses.

Not that the Wallabies are likely to admit they see the centres as weakness to exploit as they bid to defend their Rugby Championship title and win back the Bledisloe for the first time since 2002.

They keep insisting the depth in New Zealand rugby means the All Blacks can cope with the loss of greats including Nonu, Smith, Richie McCaw and Dan Carter after the World Cup and also Williams.

"We're not worrying about who they're fielding, who they're missing, who's playing where," said veteran Wallabies winger Adam Ashley-Cooper.

"It's about just getting our systems in place, believing in what we're doing, going out there on the night and just being as accurate as we can."

The All Blacks haven't lost since falling 27-19 to the Wallabies in Sydney last August, but are equally wary of their transTasman rivals ahead of Saturday week's showdown at the same venue.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects only subtle changes to the Wallabies' game plan and believes the return from injury of David Pocock and the likely inclusion of European-based backline stars Giteau, AshleyCooper and Drew Mitchell will strengthen the hosts.

Pocock was sorely missed in the second and third Tests of Australia's 3-0 series loss to England in June, while firstchoice World Cup lock Kane Douglas is also expected back from a knee injury to bolster the Wallabies set pieces.

"I don't know that we have ever played a poor Australian rugby team," Hansen told reporters in New Zealand.

"It's like our own local (Super Rugby) derbies. You might play a team that is out of form but put them against a local team and all of a sudden their form lifts up and it is the same with the Aussies.

"They hate losing to us and we hate losing to them. They are desperate to get the Bledisloe back."

Four-Peat?

Hawks want pre-finals lift-off

E

veryone at Hawthorn agrees: it doesn't matter where the premiers finish, if they don't lift their game, there will be no historic fourth-straight AFL flag.

Coach Alastair Clarkson's message was as abrupt on the final whistle of their win against North Melbourne.

It was a victory that ensures the Hawks head into round 22 on top of the ladder.

Given the league's tightness, they could still finish as low as seventh.

Friday night's blockbuster against West Coast - a replay of last year's grand final - could determine whether the Hawks hit their longheld target of finishing in the top four.

Greater Western Sydney's surprise last-gasp loss to the Eagles means four more premiership points seal the top-four deal for Hawthorn.

But there's a greater issue at stake for Clarkson; lifting their form.

THURSTON WARNS OF COWBOYS HUMILIATION

S

kipper Johnathan Thurston has warned his North Queensland teammates they face a humiliating end to their NRL premiership defence if they don't find form fast.

The Cowboys slumped to their third successive defeat to Sydney Roosters on Sunday, their worst losing streak since the opening three rounds last year.

The premiers sit on 28 points with three rounds to play, but their playoffs spot is yet to be confirmed given other results from round 23.

And if Canberra beat Melbourne on Monday night in the nation's capital, the Cowboys will sit two wins adrift of fourth place with three regular season games remaining.

The Cowboys face a challenging road to the finals, which they will start by hosting the unpredictable Warriors before travelling to Belmore Sports Ground to face Canterbury the week after.

In the final round they'll return to Townsville to meet Jarryd Hayne's Gold Coast.

It wasn't that long ago the

Cowboys were considered top four certainties. But according to superstar Thurston they are struggling simply to make the finals after losing four of their last five games.

"Finals are the furthest thing from my mind," he said. "It is about getting confidence back.

However we get it, we need it.

"Finals could be out the back door if we don't fix it quickly."

The loss of Jake Granville, who is could be out for another three weeks with a broken hand, hurt the Cowboys against the Roosters.

Interchange prop Ben Hannant could also be sidelined for three more weeks.

But the Cowboys need more than just their grand-finalwinning 17 together.

"We are not urgent enough or mentally tough enough, we need to be better," Thurston said.

"We need to get around that quick. We need to fight our way of this hole we have dug ourselves, we need to have a look at ourselves."

"We need to play better," he said.

"I don't think (the form shown against North Melbourne) is going to win us a key final or a grand final.

"It's a long campaign. Our goal all along the way is to add up the wins, hopefully finish top four and then make sure we try to play our best footy in September."

One area where Hawthorn need to find improvement is up front.

Clarkson's side have reached triple figures just twice in their last eight matches.

Luke Bruest says the Hawks would need to "get close" to the 100-point mark to stay in contention for the history-making premiership.

"You're going to have to kick that against good defences like Sydney (Swans) and those sort of teams," he told radio station 3AW. "The confidence is there that come September if we need to kick 100 points in a game we can still do that."

Given all the talk of September, defender Grant Birchall admitted he was keen to get into the finals.

But the Tasmanian said the Hawks didn't need to go far back in the memory for a reminder of their fallibility.

"We're keen to get to finals but we've got two important games," he said.

"We can't afford to take the eye off the footy or it will happen like it did last week (against Melbourne)."

aul Pogba believes it was his destiny to return for a second spell at Manchester United and says he has unfinished business with the club.

The France midfielder rejoined the Old Trafford team from Italian champions Juventus for a world record fee of STG89 million ($A151.7 million) this week, signing a fiveyear contract with the club he left in 2012 for Serie A.

Long, 20, showed all the promise anyone would want from a rookie on debut in the Bombers' sixpoint win over the Suns at Etihad Stadium.

"The reception from the crowd was amazing.

I think the Bomber fans have come out in numbers and it's great to see them all and the love that they give Joey and Jobe (Watson).

"I saw Dad's face and he was just overwhelmed and excited that his son was going to play AFL footy for Essendon," Long Jr. said on Monday.

Broken nose won't stop Nic Naitanui

est Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui has revealed he was nursing a broken nose when he kicked the match-winning goal against GWS on Saturday.

Naitanui broke his nose in a ruck contest with Shane Mumford, before kicking the winning goal with just seconds remaining on the clock.

The win has kept West Coast's top-four hopes alive, but they face another huge challenge in Friday night's clash with ladder-leaders Hawthorn at Domain Stadium.

Melbourne City prepare to unveil Cahill SOCCER

"It's been 19, 20 years since I left as a young kid to go follow my dreams," he told Fox Sports News.

Cahill, the Socceroos' all-time leading scorer, will wear City's sky blue kit this season after signing a two-year playing deal with the A-League club.

Cahill listed several reasons for joining City at this stage.

The 36-year-old said he was excited to be playing his club football in Australia for the first time.

"To come around full circle I have to admit it's an exciting time for me and my family."

Family reasons topped the list, followed by the lure of joining the City Football Group and the opportunities the football conglomerate could bring after his playing days, while he also
