Police officers shot dead in Louisiana A

decorated former US Marine sergeant has opened fire on police in Baton Rouge, killing three officers.

It came nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, including one shattered by the massacre of five Dallas policemen.

The suspect, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, was shot to death minutes later in a gunfight with police who converged on the scene of a confrontation that Mayor Kip Holden said began as an "ambush-style" attack on officers.

Two Baton Rouge Police Department officers and one sheriff's deputy were killed, and one sheriff's deputy was critically wounded. Another police officer and one other deputy suffered less severe wounds and are expected to survive.

Colonel Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, told a news conference the gunman was believed to have acted alone.

It was not immediately clear whether there was a link between Sunday's bloodshed and unrest over the police killings of two black men under questionable circumstances earlier this month - Alton Sterling, 37, in Baton Rouge on July 5, and Philando Castile, 32, near St Paul, Minnesota, on July 6.

had reason to believe an emergency 911 call may have been used to lure police.

Police did not name the suspect but a US government official told Reuters the gunman had been identified as Gavin Long, of Kansas City, Missouri, and was black. He was reported by other media to be 29 years old.

President Barack Obama has condemned the attack and vowed that justice will be done and called on Americans to focus on rhetoric and actions that united the country rather than divided it.

According to Long's military record, released by the Pentagon, he served in the Marines from August 2005 until August 2010, achieving the rank of sergeant. Listed as a data network specialist for the Marines, he was deployed to Iraq from June 2008 until January 2009, earning several medals and commendations.

A second government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigators

Edmonson said several officers came under fire as police were responding to a report of a man dressed in black standing behind a store holding a rifle shortly before 9 am.

The wave of violence has heightened security concerns across the country, notably in Cleveland and Philadelphia, hosts to this week's Republican National Convention and next week's Democratic National Convention, respectively, which are expected to formally nominate Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the

November 8 election.

In a Facebook posting on Sunday afternoon Trump said, "We demand law and order".

France truck killer sent 'laughing' photo

he man who mowed through a crowd with a truck, killing 84 Bastille Day revellers in Nice on Thursday, had phoned home hours earlier and sent a "laughing" picture from the French city, his brother has told Reuters.

jihadist gunmen killed 130 people in Paris.

During a visit to Nice on Sunday, French Health Minister Marisol Touraine said 18 people, including a child, were still in a critical condition, while about 85 people in total were in hospital.

In the photograph, "he seemed very happy and pleased, he was laughing a lot".

The attack by delivery man Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel at peak holiday time on the Riviera plunged France into new grief and fear, just eight months after

"That last day he said he was in Nice with his European friends to celebrate the national holiday," Bouhlel's brother Jabeur told Reuters in their native Tunisia.

Reuters could not verify the existence of the photograph, which Jabeur declined to share.

The attacks, along with in Brussels four months ago, have shocked Western Europe, already anxious over security

French hooded police officers leave the building where lived Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, in Nice, southern France, Saturday, July 16, 2016. The man responsible for turning a night of celebration into one of carnage in the seaside city of Nice was a petty criminal who hadn't been on the radar of French intelligence services before the attack.

challenges from mass immigration, open borders and pockets of Islamist radicalism.

Two more people, a man and a woman close to Bouhlel, were arrested in Nice early on Sunday and another person in the afternoon.

Four others arrested previously were still being held, but Bouhlel's estranged wife was released without charge after being held since Friday.

In a pointer to a possible accomplice, one of these seven people still held by police had received a text from the killer thanking that person for providing a weapon, a source close to the investigation told Reuters.

Islamic State has claimed the attack, calling Bouhlel one of its soldiers, but authorities have yet to produce evidence that the 31-yearold, shot dead by police, had any actual links to the militant group.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said there was no doubting the assailant's motives.

"The investigation will establish the facts, but we know now that the killer

was radicalised very quickly," he told newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche.

As of Sunday no evidence had been produced to show how he underwent that rapid transformation from someone with no apparent interest in religion.

Relatives and friends interviewed in Nice painted a picture of a man who at least until recently drank alcohol, smoked marijuana and according to French media even ate pork, behaviour that would be unlikely in a devout Muslim.

A report in the Nice Matin newspaper said investigators had found no radical material in his flat, although they were still looking at his telephone and computer.

Speaking from his home town in Tunisia, Bouhlel's sister told Reuters he had been having psychological problems when he left for France in 2005 and had sought medical treatment.

Rape acquittal ‘a disincentive to report’ T

he quashing of serial rapist Adrian Bayley’s conviction over an attack on a sex worker will be a further disincentive for those in the industry to report crime, a Victorian advocacy group says.

A sex worker identified Bayley as the man who raped her in 2000 after seeing his photo in a Facebook post about Jill Meagher, who he raped and killed in 2012.

The Court of Appeal overturned Bayley’s conviction for that rape in St Kilda because the identification evidence risked unfair prejudice.

Michael Jackson VICTIMS A

new US legal team representing choreographer Wade Robson is planning to fly to Australia

to interview Michael Jackson sexual abuse victims or witnesses to any of the late pop star's acts.

"This case is a worldwide case and we will be doing some travelling.

"Most people don't know that even though they were abused in Australia, Britain or Morocco or wherever, they have a right to seek counsel in the US against a corporation.

"What happened to Wade is what I'll call survivor 101," Mr Manly said.

Mr Manly is requesting Jackson's estate release other Jackson victims from confidentiality agreements they signed as a condition of large monetary settlements.

"The standard of proof is we have to prove the corporation knew or had reason to know that Mr Jackson was a pedophile before or during the time he was abusing Wade," he said.

"I want to go to the people responsible, the corporate officials and others involved who knew and did nothing the people who stood by and watched those children be walked into that bedroom.

Mehajer ordered not to contact wife would not challenge three of the orders sought by police which bar him from assaulting, harassing or threatening his wife, engaging in any conduct that would intimidate her or stalking her.

But his client will fight other elements of the orders, including bans on him approaching or contacting his wife by any means.

“It is opposed, your honour. We’re willing to accept without admissions (the first orders sought),” Mr Ward told the court.

He added Ms Learmonth had not given a formal statement and had told police she would not attend court.

The case was adjourned to August 17, but in the meantime Deputy Chief Magistrate Chris O’Brien said he would keep an AVO imposed by police on a provisional basis in place.

“I will continue the order but I will transform it into an interim order,” Mr O’Brien said.

“The defendant may seek a hearing on the terms of the order on the next occasion.”

ontroversial Sydney property developer Salim Mehajer will be in breach of court orders if he wishes his wife a happy first wedding anniversary.

Mehajer - the former deputy mayor of Auburn - first grabbed public attention in 2015 when he shut down a local street in the suburb of Lidcombe for his lavish nuptials, which included a fighter jet flyover, $50 million worth of luxury cars and an ARIA-award-winning wedding singer.

But after less than a year of married life, NSW Police sought an apprehended violence order against Mehajer on behalf of his wife Aysha, whose last name was recorded in court documents as Learmonth.

Neither Mehajer nor Ms Learmonth, a trained beautician, appeared in person when the application was brought before Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court for the first time on Wednesday.

Mehajer’s lawyer Matt Ward said his client

Wednesday’s result means that when the couple’s first anniversary rolls around on August 15, Mehajer will still be legally restrained from contacting his wife.

The 30-year-old has repeatedly denied rumours of a marital rift and earlier this year responded to rumours of a split by posting a wedding photo on social media with the caption: “Only God and indeed death can do us apart”.

Under another post - this time a holiday snapshot - he wrote: “Our love is too great to destroy”.

rominent Australian socialite and "loving mother" Lady Susan Renouf has died in Melbourne.

Her daughter, Ann Peacock, shared the news to Instagram on Friday morning with a black and white throwback photograph of herself, her two sisters and their mother.

"Happy Birthday Mummy, we love you sooooo much, rest now in peace," the photo's caption reads.

Peacock, Caroline Cordeaux and Jane Chapple-Hyam - before they divorced in 1977.

She married British gambling millionaire and racing identity Robert Sangster in 1978, and was handed the Melbourne Cup in 1980 after Beldale Ball was the first horse to cross the line in the race that stops the nation.

DIES

Born Susan Rossiter and raised in Melbourne's beachside suburb of Brighton, she was a regular in the social pages since the 1960s and graced the cover of The Australian Women's Weekly on more than one occasion.

She became one of Australia's bestknown political wives from her marriage to prominent Liberal politician Andrew Peacock in 1963.

"Vale Lady Susan Renouf who passed away this morning aged 74. Much loved by all and passionate racing fan, condolences to her family," renowned race caller Bryan Martin OAM posted to Twitter on Friday.

After her second divorce, she remained a flamboyant stalwart of the racing scene and acquired the title of Lady Renouf in 1985 from her short marriage to New Zealand businessman Sir Frank Renouf.

In a February interview with the Seven Network's The Morning Show, Ms Peacock said despite three failed marriages and a cancer diagnosis, her mother still had "the strength of an ox".

"She is an absolutely brilliant, kind, loving, generous mother," Ms Peacock said.

"Having a mum like mum and being brought up in the family that I have, my soul is all about my family, so the strength is there."

Vic baby had signs of being shaken: court A

three-month-old Victorian baby allegedly murdered by her father showed signs of brain damage and haemorrhages linked to shaken baby syndrome.

Joby Anthony Rowe, 24, faced Bendigo Magistrates Court on Friday where he was committed to stand trial on a charge he murdered Alanah in August last year.

haemorrhages, which she alleges is a result of shaken baby syndrome.

Bleeding was also detected in other parts of the infant's body.

"Alanah did have some blood around her spine," Dr Tully told Rowe's committal hearing on Friday.

"I think the most likely cause was impact."

Rowe pleaded not guilty to murdering his daughter.

No trauma was detected on Alanah's skull, she said.

The baby became critically ill at her central Victorian home on August 29 and was airlifted to the Melbourne Royal Children's hospital, but died the next day.

When asked by defence lawyer James Fitzgerald if subdural haemorrhages from a traumatic birth could have caused started bleeding again before Alanah's death, Dr Tully said that was unlikely.

Forensic paediatrician Joanna Tully said brain scans revealed Alanah had suffered subdural

and was in cardiac arrest by the time a paramedic treated her.

But the forensic paediatrician said this was a contentious area of medicine and referred to research that showed rebleeding of earlier subdural haemorrhages could occur.

"If re-bleeding occurs, it may cause some symptoms... but it is not generally thought to cause catastrophic collapse," Dr Tully said.

"There was no evidence in this case where that was a predisposing factor," she said.

Alanah was born about six weeks premature but a maternal health nurse was satisfied with her progress and the care she was receiving from her parents.

Dr Tully also said re-bleeding wouldn't have caused Alanah's life-threatening symptoms.

Alanah had stopped breathing when her mother began CPR

An ophthalmologist also found retinal haemorrhages in Alanah's eyes, the court heard.

Rowe told paramedics he had been giving Alanah a bottle of baby formula when she choked, vomited and fell unconscious.

Pathologist Greg Young said choking would not have caused the injuries detected in Alanah's autopsy.

"Subdural haemorrhages ... are very unlikely to be caused by choking," he told the hearing.

Wrong kind of fats ‘linked to early death’ C

lear evidence that eating the wrong kind of fat can shorten your life has emerged from a major study in the US.

from more than 126,000 men and women in two large study groups whose progress was followed for up to 32 years.

Higher consumption of saturated and trans-fat was associated with a greater risk of early death, the scientists found.

Dietary fat intake was assessed on recruitment and updated every two to four years.

In contrast, people whose diets were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Pufa) and monounsaturated fatty acids (Mufa) - the kind of fat obtained from plant foods, vegetable oils and fish - had a reduced risk.

Participants in the study were split into five groups ranging from low to high consumption of different kinds of fat.

Saturated fat chiefly comes from animal sources such as red meat and dairy products, while trans-fats are mostly derived from processed oils.

Over the study period, a total of 33,304 deaths were recorded.

Replacing five per cent of calories from saturated fats with the equivalent amount of energy from Pufa and Mufa was associated with a 27 per cent and 13 per cent lower likelihood of death respectively.

The researchers analysed data

Writing in the journal Jama Internal Medicine, the authors led by Dr Frank Hu, from the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health in Boston, concluded: “Replacement of saturated fats with unsaturated fats can confer substantial health benefits and should continue to be a key message in dietary recommendations.”

British expert Dr Ian Johnson, from the Institute of Food Research, said: “The findings indicate that diets containing relatively high levels of saturated fat were associated with higher mortality compared to diets richer in unsaturated fats.

“Remarkably, replacing only five per cent of total calorie intake from saturated fat (around 15g) with the same quantity of polyunsaturated fat was

associated with a 27 per cent lower risk of death from heart disease, cancer and other causes.

“These findings are consistent with current public health recommendations in the UK and elsewhere, and particularly with the concept of a beneficial Mediterranean-style diet, rich in unsaturated fats from plants, fish and olive oil.”

t's been over two weeks since Melbourne mum Karen Ristevski was last seen and her family is desperate for answers.

Ms Ristevski was last seen at her home about 10am on June 29 and she hasn't used her phone or accessed her bank accounts since.

The search for the 47-year-old was suspended on Friday after police had been looking around grassland behind her Avondale Heights home.

It's understood she went for a walk to get some fresh air after a heated discussion with her husband Borce.

Inspector Stephen Dennis said Ms Ristevski's disappearance is still being treated as a missing person investigation but they had grave concerns for her welfare.

"We've laughed together, dressed and undressed together, and shared our highs and lows," friend Connie Johnson posted on the Love Your Sister Facebook page.

Police questioned Mr Ristevski last week over the disappearance and he has been released pending further enquiries.

Ms Ristevski is 160cm tall, with a slim build and shoulder length brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a black jacket and jeans and is known to frequent Taylors Lakes.

Stand-alone power trialled in regional WA S

tand-alone power systems are being trialled at rural properties on the edge of Western Australia’s electricity grid as utilities explore alternatives to poles and wires.

Six of the systems, comprising solar panels, battery storage, an inverter and a backup diesel generator, have been installed at households around Ravensthorpe, Lake King and Ongerup.

Energy Minister Mike Nahan (right) and Eyre MLA Graham Jacobs at one of the six standalone power system trial sites in WA.

alone systems could become an option to maintaining or replacing ageing power poles and lines in rural and remote areas, potentially reducing bushfire risk.

Dr Nahan said the households would document their experiences during the 12-month experiment.

If the trial is successful, Western Power will investigate the future use of the systems as part of a solution for other edge-of-grid customers,” he said.

Energy Made Clean, which constructed the systems and will maintain them, has also developed an app that will allow customers to view their power consumption and system performance in real time.

Animal cells could help stop extinctions C

loning techniques could in the future allow a “Noah’s Ark” of cells to save animals from extinction, British scientist Professor Sir Ian Wilmut predicts.

“We are looking some distance into the future but people are beginning to develop abilities to produce gametes from iPS cells,” said Sir Ian.

The idea would be to create an animal biobank in much the same way that seeds of rare plant species are currently preserved for posterity.

“I would presume that one day with the species which are really studied we will be able to produce gametes, and therefore embryos.”

Sir Ian led the team that produced Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, at the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute on July 5, 1996.

This would “revolutionise” the business of conserving endangered species, he said.

Part of the cloning process involved reprogramming adult cells to turn back their developmental clock.

The risky manoeuvre began as planned, as Juno soared through the vacuum of space at more than 257,500km/h.

NASA expects Juno to be in position for its first close-up images of Jupiter on August 27, the same day its science instruments are turned on for a test run.

Only one other spacecraft, Galileo, has ever circled Jupiter, which is itself orbited by 67 known moons. Bolton said Juno is likely to discover even more.

The spacecraft, built by Lockheed Martin, is expected to last for 20 months. On its final orbit, Juno will dive into Jupiter’s atmosphere, where it will be crushed and vaporised.

Like Galileo, which circled Jupiter for eight years before crashing into the planet in 2003, Juno’s demise is designed to prevent any hitchhiking microbes from earth from inadvertently contaminating Jupiter’s ocean-bearing moon Europa, a target of future study for extraterrestrial life.

Your Horoscopes ARIES You love to travel. It does not only relax you but it also opens your mind. Don’t be obsessed with traveling alone but the planning process as well. Go through the details with your partner starting with the savings plan.

TAURUS Your week will be filled with a lot of discussions about money. At work, not everyone is happy with how the budget is divided. Same goes at home. Someone doesn’t feel good with taking too much responsibilities. If it’s not your business, it’s best to stay out of the discussion.

GEMINI Your mind is working double time this week. You continue to make great strides in the communication field as well. It helps you with all matters concerning writing, speaking and learning. Fortunately, you are surrounded by like-minded people, so discussions about issues will be deep and critical.

CANCER You’re looking at a hectic week but it’s not something that you can’t handle. A lot of things demand precision and all you need to do is focus. If there’s any project that you’ve always wanted to initiate, this week is a perfect time to act.

LEO You’re not in the mood to see other people this week. It’s not that you don’t want to be with your friends but you just don’t have a lot to tell them. There are a lot of other things to do apart from talking. You can invite them to do something active together like a sport.

VIRGO You could have doubts about your own abilities on a new project you’re working on. Well Virgo, you’re about to be a master your craft. Just be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do whatever work is required to become the expert. Block any possibility of comparing your qualities with those of others because you are worth more than you think.

LIBRA You could have doubts about your own abilities on a new project you’re working on. Well Virgo, you’re about to be a master your craft. Just be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do whatever work is required to become the expert. Block any possibility of comparing your qualities with those of others because you are worth more than you think.

SCORPIO You are specially skilled with anything that has to be done with your hands like painting, cooking, baking, etc.

Don’t hesitate to monetize your special skills because financial problems are starting to weigh heavy on your shoulders.

SAGITTARIUS It’ll be a challenge to stand your ground because of the different criticism around you. You know in your mind that you are on the right track but something inside of you is telling otherwise. Pause for a minute, Sagittarius and go through the process again.

It’s alright to be sluggish every now and then but not for the entire week, so get those legs moving, Capricorn. You will miss out on a lot of great opportunities if you slouch around too long.

AQUARIUS Friendship is slowly turning to romance.

Unfortunately, this is not the right time for a date. Timing is important so don’t give up. Try again next weekend. You can easily turn to your friends for fun as well as comfort when needed.

PISCES The emotional side of you is more active than usual.

You will see your own shadow in someone else and you prefer not to recognize its existence. It’s important to set a realistic view of yourself, Pisces. Everyone has weaknesses because we’re all humans.

Three Spice Girls record new material T

hree of the Spice Girls have recorded new music together as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut single Wannabe.

Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie Brown have been in the studio together amid reports they are reuniting for a one-off concert in Hyde Park in London next year.

Songwriter and producer Eliot Kennedy told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “We have been in the studio, with just three of them - Mel B and Geri and Emma and we had a fantastic couple of days.

“We wrote a brilliant song and the energy was exactly like it was 20 years ago, just as enthusiastic, just as much to say, just as much to celebrate.”

When asked if the group were in a place to have a reunion, he replied: “I think it’s a great time, it’s 20 years, that’s a serious amount of time and they’ve had such a massive influence on women around the world.

In a video posted online by the three women, Brown said: “We’ve been thinking, we have the best fans in the whole entire world ... and we want to celebrate and have a party and when we do you’re all invited.”

Echoing the lyrics of Wannabe, a message written on screen at the end reads: “We hope to tell you soon what you want, what you really, really want.”

The three singers have reportedly agreed to a London show in July 2017, but Victoria Beckham has previously ruled herself out of a reunion, while Melanie Chisholm has said she is focusing on her solo album.

Wannabe was the band’s breakthrough hit, spending seven weeks at the top of the UK charts and earning them a Brit award for best single.

SAMMY OWEN

BRINGIN’ THE BLUES H

By Terri Lee Fatouros.

e comes on givin’ lip like your younger brother after a night on the turps. He’s all cheek and twists and a wry smile to keep you fooled. Then launches into some of the best driving blues you’ll hear in yonks. Sammy Owen jumps and jives like a young George Thorogood, he shreds, his lyrics tease, and soon you’ll be yellin’ for more. That’s exactly what to expect when Sammy Owen Blues band hits town for some local shows in August.

It’s always a good fit when you are a left- handed lead guitarist in your own band and luck it in with a left handed bass player. Such was the case with the Sammy Owen Blues Band. Owen, lead vocals and left handed guitar player met Michael Landells, a left handed ’78 Fender Precision bass player some time back and the two hit it off instantly and have been gigging together since.

Both guys love playing in the blues vein and being younger musicians, endevour to keep this tradition alive by being traditional, yet expressing the music in their unique bent.

Adding magic to the mix with his Hammond B3 is Liam Kealy who has been with Owen since 2012. They perform songs to certain traditional blues guidelines but add huge amounts of improv and literally play ‘in the moment’ with the vibe of their audience. They all feel this is what blues music is all about.

Jessie Bates is the drummer whose Latin and reggae rhythm influence adds a unique version with his smooth rim shots and easy fills amongst spontaneous waw waw riffs, thus making the combo work really well.

The Sammy Owen Blues Band plays energetic on the

edge style with influences of Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Albert Collins. The original material written is based on everyday Melbourne life with the occasional comical experiences infused, so expect to hear exciting tunes laced with contemporary, funky, lively blues.

Next time the boys are in town, get your serious listening ears on and get on down to the Sammy Owen Blues Band cause you’re in for an electrifyingly, intense, ‘give everything’ approach gig. These guys simply dig entertaining a live crowd, whether it is a room full of regular fans or blues fans alike.

Sammy Owen Blues Band perform two Sunday arvo shows at Mornington’s Royal Hotel on August 14 & 28 from 3pm and then at Seaford Hotel for Friday Night Blues Club at 8pm on August 26. For more details visit pearlhq.com.au or find Sammy Owen Blues Band on Facebook.

Geoff Achison, The Souldiggers & Soultrain

S

unday Soultrain at Davey’s in Frankston is recognised as one of Melbourne’s integral Sunday sessions presenting some of Australia’s finest Blues, Soul and Rock’nRoll artists ‘Live & Free’ every week. On Sunday July 24 Soultrain welcomes back sentimental gentleman Geoff Achison & The Souldiggers for an afternoon of heartfelt soul and enough funky grooves to wash away your winter blues.

Locals love Geoff and his backround tells us why.

Born on Phillip Island, Achison taught himself guitar in the isolation of rural Australia and forged his own path to a successful career with an explosive blues/funk style and top-notch vocals.

However, Peninsula fans aren’t the only admirers Achison has earned along the way, having toured relentlessly throughout the U.K, U.S and Australia. With each country toured, our blues wizard performs his popular acoustic solo shows

or enlists the best local musicians to recreate his brainchild band The Souldiggers as he goes.

Forming the group, Souldiggers is meant to convey the tapping into of ones soul for honesty and truth, and this is expressed through their music and Achison’s hard work, which continued in 1994 setting up his own record label Jupiter II Records.

These early recordings were received well by fans and critics, which led to him representing the Melbourne Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis winning the coveted Albert King Award for his guitar skill.

Since then, he has won a swag of awards, using Australia as a home base keeping fans enthused with several live releases from different corners of the globe.

Sunday Soultrain presents Geoff Achison & The Souldiggers on Sunday July 24 at Davey’s Hotel, Nepean Hwy in Frankston. Geoff and the boys perform three big sets from 3pm with no cover charge.

SCIENTISTS RESTORE VISION IN BLIND MICE

S

cientists have restored vision in blind mice, offering hope for new therapies to treat people with eye disorder glaucoma.

the eye-to brain-connections resembled glaucoma, the world's second-leading cause of blindness after cataracts.

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine coaxed optic-nerve cables, responsible for conveying visual information from the eye to the brain, into regenerating after they had been completely severed.

Glaucoma, which is caused by excess pressure on the optic nerve, affects an estimated 70 million people worldwide. One in eight Australians over 80 will develop the condition, for which there is no cure.

They did this through combining the use of high contrast visual stimulation therapy - which involved the mice staring at changing patterns of black lines - and gene therapy to boost the protein mTOR in the retina's ganglion cells.

It was noted in the research paper that the way the mice's optic nerves were crushed for the experiments did not mimic the typical way people are blinded through diseases or injuries.

The "unprecedented", if partial, restoration could pave the way to future work that would enable some blind people to see, the authors of the study say.

The animals' condition prior to the scientists' efforts to regrow

Lead author Andrew Huberman from Stanford University and his team will next examine the effects of high contrast visual stimulation in mice with glaucoma.

The study has been published in the latest edition of journal Nature Neuroscience.

Hi there, my name is Sunny and I really enjoy being around people, so I would love to spend lots of time inside with you. I’m a real lap dog. I’d love to be your best friend. I’ll need to be groomed daily to keep me looking my best. I would suit a home with secondary schoolaged kids. I may be happy living with a friendly desexed female dog, but I prefer a home with no cats.

“Otto” Otto is a typical young ferret. Very boisterous and playful. Otto can nip during play but with more one on one attention and training he should stop the nippy behaviour. He gets along great with everyone although can get a little rough with placid ferrets. We have various coloured ferret kits available for adoption.

“Squeak” Little “Squeak” is a young semi-tame Rainbow Lorikeet who is looking for a forever home. “Squeak’s” age and sex is unknown, but at times has been observed displaying some Male type behaviors.

‘HYPER-HATCH’ - 2016 Ford Focus RS now on sale

“...sets a new benchmark for driving exhilaration”

T

he hugely anticipated 2016 Ford Focus RS brings Ford’s most advanced and capable performance hatch to Australian customers. With more power, as well as a driver-focussed Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive, the RS brings scintillating performance and technical innovation at a lower Manufacturer’s List Price than its predecessor.

“The all-new Focus RS is a very serious machine with highperformance technology and innovative engineering that sets a new benchmark for driving exhilaration,” said Raj Nair, group vice president, Global Product Development, Ford Motor Company.

“The RS line has a proud history of technical breakthroughs that have gone on to benefit all Ford customers, and the new Focus RS is no exception.”

The all-new Focus RS is the 30th car to wear the legendary RS “Rallye Sport” badge, reserved for Ford models that have pioneered performance technologies. Focus RS follows in the footsteps of Ford models including the 16-valve 1970 Escort RS1600, turbocharged Sierra RS Cosworth of 1985, and four-wheel-drive 1992 Escort RS Cosworth.

The bold, muscular stance and wind-tunnel tested aerodynamic improvements give the 2016 Ford Focus RS an unmistakable performance posture. With a goal of zero lift front and rear, the RS boasts a uniquely aggressive front bumper, raised rear spoiler and dramatic yet functional rear diffuser. While its exterior’s bold colour palette, 19-inch alloys with Michelin Super Sport tyres and Brembo brakes scream athleticism, the RS badge signifies that its performance story is not merely window dressing.

The EcoBoost engine itself shares its backbone – including block, crankshaft and therefore 2261cc capacity – with the 2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost. Produced in Valencia, Spain, especially for the Focus RS, it has been significantly reengineered to deliver not only more power and torque, but a sharper acceleration response backed with a cack-and-burble from its larger exhaust system on lift-off for an entertaining drive both on- and offthrottle.

The Focus RS is offered exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission that remains true to the RS goal of the most exhilarating, engaging driver involvement. It continues the RS tradition of using manual transmissions as the ultimate in driving pleasure.

The 2016 Focus RS comes standard with Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive – a Focus first. Ford engineers didn’t stop there. The sophisticated AWD system enabled Dynamic Torque Vectoring, which means that the Focus RS can split its torque not only front-to-rear, but also side-toside for unprecedented road-holding.

Sport Mode is one of four selectable drive modes – the first RS model to offer such a feature – that maximise the livability and enjoyment of the Focus RS. Each of these modes alters the steering, which has been recalibrated for more linearity, as well as the ESC, engine and exhaust settings. They also alter the adjustable dampers, another first for the 2016 Focus RS. Normal and Sport are calibrated for road use, with Track and Drift modes for the occasional closed course and racetrack experiences only.

The high-performance character of the RS is reflected inside the car with heavily-bolstered partialleather Recaro sports seats as the centrepiece of the cockpit.

Thanks to a new Launch Control function – the Focus RS finds itself in There’s also a flat-bottom steering wheel, while the Focus RS offers the company of premium dedicated technologies new to the RS marque sports cars. including Ford’s SYNC connectivity This RS has more power than its system. Simple voice commands predecessor, its all-alloy 2.3-litre such as “Find a race track” enable EcoBoost four-cylinder boasting RS owners to get instant directions to a twin-scroll turbocharger and a substantial 257kW2. Maximum torque the nearest public circuit. of 440Nm is delivered between 2000 “The Focus RS sees the return of one of our most revered models,” and 4500rpm, with 470Nm available said Graeme Whickman, CEO and for up to 15 seconds on transient overboost during hard acceleration1.

SPURS’ DUNCAN CALLS TIME ON NBA CAREER S

an Antonio Spurs stalwart Tim Duncan, a model of consistency during an illustrious career during which he won five NBA championships and established himself as the game’s greatest power forward, is calling it a career.

overall in the 1997 NBA Draft and went on to turn the Spurs franchise into one of the best in North American sports for nearly two decades.

Duncan was a force on both ends of the court while racking up numerous individual awards that will ensure he is Weeks of speculation about Duncan’s inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame playing future came to an end on Monday in his first year of eligibility. as the Spurs said the 40-year-old face of “For two decades Tim represented the the franchise was retiring after 19 NBA Spurs, the city of San Antonio and the seasons spent entirely with the small league with passion and class,” said market San Antonio franchise.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

The towering figure was selected first

“All of us in the NBA family thank him for

his profound impact on the game.”

After a sucessful college career, Duncan scaled the heights of the NBA where he helped San Antonio reach the playoffs in each of his 19 seasons and became the only player in league history to start and win a title in three different decades - his final ring coming alongside Australian teammate Patty Mills.

Duncan, who was the league’s rookie of the year in 1998 and twice named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player, finishes his career as the Spurs’ leader in total points, rebounds, blocked shots, minutes and games played.

“Even tho I knew it was coming, I’m still moved by the news. What a HUGE honor to have played with him for 14 seasons! #ThankYouTD,” tweeted Spurs guard Manu Ginobili.

The Spurs had the NBA’s second-best record in the 2015-16 season but lost in the Western Conference semifinal, after which Duncan said he was contemplating his playing future.

He averaged 19 points and 10.8 rebounds during his career and retires as one of three NBA players along with John Stockton and Kobe Bryant to spend 19 seasons with one franchise.

Mitch Marsh ready to be third quick M itch Marsh is ready to step up as Australia's third seamer during the three-Test series against Sri Lanka if required.

starting on July 26.

The turning sub-continental pitches could see Australian selectors opt to play both Nathan Lyon and Stephen O'Keefe in at least some of the matches, meaning allrounder Marsh could be called upon a little earlier than usual.

"If I get a chance with the new ball hopefully I can take a few wickets for us."

And it's a challenge Marsh, who has now played 15 Tests, is more than willing to accept.

"If we've got two spinners I'll probably bowl a little bit more with the newer ball being the third seemer," said Marsh in Colombo ahead of the first Test in Kandy

"It's always nice in these conditions to bowl when the ball is a little bit harder and potentially swinging a little bit.

Marsh has only twice before fulfilled the role of third seamer.

The first was on debut three years ago in Dubai against Pakistan, and again against the West Indies at the SCG earlier this year.

However on that second occasion he was only required to bowl four overs as rain ruined the match.

Regardless, Marsh can't see his attacking style changing, given it has netted him 25 wickets at a strike rate of 58.6.

"I'll be attacking the stumps as much as I can with fields that allow me to bowl like that," he said.

Hayne shouldn’t return to NRL in 16: Benji

B

enji Marshall says it would be unfair for Jarryd Hayne to turn out for Parramatta this year and has cast doubt on whether the codehoping star will return to the NRL at all.

Hayne’s future is uncertain after he was cut from the Fiji Rugby Sevens squad, quashing his Olympic dream.

He was been linked with a return to the Eels - the club he quit to pursue a career in the NFL in late 2014 - as early as this month.

Skipper Kieran Foran’s decision to quit the embattled club, to address personal issues, has seemingly opened the door for the Eels to fit Hayne under the salary cap for the rest of the season.

However St George Illawarra playmaker Marshall said it wouldn’t be right for the NRL to rubber stamp Hayne’s contract because Foran was already set to miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury and his salary should still count towards their cap.

Fox Sports’ NRL 360 on Tuesday night.

“Kieran Foran was out for the season already through injury. How could they wipe him off the cap this year?

“If he’s wiped off the cap next year and so on, then fair enough. But for the rest of this year he wasn’t going to be playing anyway.”

Marshall, who played six Super Rugby games for the Auckland Blues after quitting the NRL in 2014, said he doubted any NRL club would be able to sign Hayne because his worth would have sky rocketed over the past one-and-a-half years.

As much as Marshall admitted he’d like to see Hayne back in rugby league, he doubted NRL clubs had the hip pockets to compete with cashed-up European rugby union.

“In terms of him coming back to the game, there’s going to be a lot of money offered from rugby,” Marshall said.

“I think he’d be worth more money (now).

“First of all they’d have to be under the “His off-field and marketing potential cap to do that, but I don’t think they (has gone up), as well as what he’s could fit him under the cap in their done in the NRL.” current situation,” Marshall said on

"I had some real struggles."

Baddeley shot a closing five-under-par 66 to finish at 18-under 266 and match Kim who had a 63 and led before making a bogey on the last hole.

Both men parred the first three holes of the playoff.

On the fourth playoff hole Kim sent his approach

"I was just telling myself, 'Let's end this right here. Come on,'" Baddeley said.

"The first couple of putts (in the playoff), I didn't quite swing it the way it needed to be swung.

"I just let it swing and it was going up over the hill and I was like, 'Oh wait, this looks really good'."

The pair finished one shot clear of American pro debutant Michael Johnson who shot a closing 65 on the course just a few miles from his former college campus of Auburn.

ROONEY LOOKING FORWARD TO MOURINHO ERA M

anchester United striker Wayne Rooney admits the arrival of Jose Mourinho has given him added motivation for the season ahead.

Former Chelsea boss Mourinho has suggested he preferred to play Rooney in a more attacking role, rather than see him pull strings from midfield as he did under predecessor Louis van Gaal.

Rooney will be looking to forge a formidable strike partnership with new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after a dearth of goals under the Dutchman last season.

“I’m really excited to be working with Jose this season,” the 30-year-old told the club’s official magazine.

“He’s one of the best

managers in the world and it’s an exciting time for Manchester United.

“I’ve always respected him both as a man and a manager.

“I like to think I’m always motivated as a player but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit more motivated when a new manager comes in.

“He’ll bring all these qualities with him and I’m sure he’ll have his own ideas, but one of the biggest assets will be his experience.”

United begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Bournemouth on August 14.

Lesnar faces potential doping violation

F

ormer UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has been flagged by the US AntiDoping Agency for a possible doping violation, the UFC said on Friday.

Will Power closes in on IndyCar title W

ill Power used pit strategy to grab his third victory of the season and close in on Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud in the race for the IndyCar championship.

Power's victory in Toronto on Sunday (Monday AEST) on the temporary road course at Exhibition Place was his third in four races, and he was second last week at Iowa.

He has moved within 47 points of championship leader Pagenaud in the standings, and the two are tied for the most wins in IndyCar this season with five races remaining.

He noted that Scott Dixon snatched the IndyCar title from teammate Juan Pablo Montoya last year with a strong late surge.

- had yet to pit, they were behind Power and stuck in traffic when they did make their stop.

"As long as it's mathematically possible, you should never give up," Power said.

It brought out a caution and "If we can close that gap going into (the season finale) Sonoma, we can do this. We can win this championship, absolutely."

"I couldn't believe I came down pit lane and saw the yellow lights come on," Power said.

Because Dixon - along with Pagenaud and five others

UFC said it was notified late on Thursday of the potential violation that stemmed from an out-of-competition test on June 28, just days before Lesnar had his first UFC fight in more than four years.

"USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC AntiDoping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case," the UFC said.

"The Nevada State Athletic Commission also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed in close proximity to Lesnar's bout at UFC 200 in Las Vegas."

Lesnar, 39, competed in UFC 200 on July 9, beating Australian-based New Zealander Mark Hunt by unanimous decision in his first appearance in the octagon since December, 2011.

The sample was analysed at the World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA).

Helio Castroneves rallied from an early flat tyre to finish second.

Newgarden crashed to set up the race-deciding pit sequence and finished last in the 22-car field.

Pagenaud finished ninth - his eighth finish of ninth or better through 11 races this season.

The next race in the IndyCar series is in Lexington, Ohio on July 31.

S

t Kilda were at their best and most frustrating all in one quarter during Sunday's AFL win over Melbourne.

Instead of killing the Demons off in the third term, they somehow managed to lose ground.

First they missed some easy shots on goal, then Melbourne rallied and turned a 29-point deficit midway through the quarter into a very gettable 11-point margin at threequarter time.

It took some stern words from coach Alan Richardson at the last break and a big rally in the final quarter before the Saints shook

off Melbourne by 36 points.

The win means the Saints remain in the finals hunt, at two games plus percentage behind slumping North Melbourne.

Overall, Richardson was pleased with how his team played on Sunday - but admits consistency remains elusive.

"We weren't great last week, so we're still learning to be consistent with our footy.

"We're impatient, we want it to happen sooner rather than later.

In their previous three matches the Saints had pulled off one of the upsets of the season against Geelong, then lost to Gold Coast and had come back late last week to beat Essendon.

"Hopefully (Sunday) was a turning of the form."
