The province of Bali becameofficially smoke free as of June 1,2012.

Quoted by Republika.co.id,Bali's governor Made Mangku Pastikasaid the ban on smoking in publicplaces will be phased in, commencingwith an immediate ban on smoking in

government offices.The ban on smoking in Bali is

covered in Bali's Provincial Law No. 10of 2011 on No Smoking Zones.

Pastika explained that theprinciple behind the no-smoking zonesis to make these areas 100% free ofcigarette smoke in public areas andenclosed spaces. The law alsocontains sections limiting advertisingand the promotion of smoking.

Advertising that promotes

smoking is effective inl u r i n gb e g i n n i n gsmokers; forthis reason itmust be limited,pr imar i ly byl imiting areas in which theseadvertisements can be displayed,explained the governor.

The governor promises thatafter eliminating smoking in public

areas and banning advertising fortobacco products he will introducefurther anti-smoking steps. Amongfuture programs the governor plans tolimit places where tobacco can be sold,and eliminating the sale of cigarettes intraditional markets, shopping centres,public transport terminals and airports.Details concerning these steps will beaddressed in future gubernatorialdecrees.

claims the change willcause disruption to the life-style ofpeople living in the far east and farwest of Indonesia. Saying 200million Indonesians will beaffected by the change, Kallabranded the time-change plan asillogical and unheard of in anynation covering the widelongitudinal area such as thatoccupied by Indonesia.

Kalla said China's use ofa single-time zone was a politicaldecis ion adopted by theCommunist Party in 1949.

Ridiculing arguments ofgreater economic productivityresulting from a single time zone,Kalla points to the U.S.A. withnine time zones and Australia withthree time zones, where he saysproductivity and multiple timezones have no linkage.

The Sunlight FactorLargely ignored in the

current debate over changingtime zones in Indonesia is the factthat Indonesia, as an archipelagic

nation stretched alongthe equator, sees an averageday 's sun l igh t vary l i t t lethroughout the calendar year. Fore x a m p l e , S u r a b a y a , a sIndonesia's second largest city,experiences sunset and sunsettimes that vary by only 20 minutes

across the course of a year.As shown on the chartprovided by Balidiscovery.com, asingle time zone would limit theamount of "waking" or "working"daylight hours available to localresidents and, by extension,tourist visitors, In a simulation fora specific day in March 2012, thenew time zone would see peoplein North Sumatra experience theirsunrise and sunset one hour laterat 7:32 am and 7:37 pm,respectively. This compares withIndonesia's far east, Jayapura, inPapua, where for the same date inMarch the sunrise and sunsetwould occur one hour earlier at4 : 4 2 a m a n d 4 : 4 0 p m ,respectively.

The current proposalmandate that all areas ofIndonesia follow a single timezone of GMT + 8. Under thisscheme, there would be nochange in Bali's current timezone.

Impersonating teen worked at cop shopAn 18-year-old man hasallegedly impersonateda police officer andworked at t he East PerthW a t c h H o u s eunchallenged.

Police Inspector Bill

Munnee confirmed the securitybreach.

He told The West that theman had been charged andwould face court later this month.

Insp. Munnee said policewould not comment on thebreach until an investigation wascomplete.

"There is an ongoinginvestigation," Insp. Munneesaid.

Last night, the ABC

revealed an 18-year-oldman obtained a police uniform andworked on several occasions atthe watch house in East Perthbefore being detected.

He had a full police utilitybelt, complete with handcuffs,police issue baton and holster, andwas apparently able to work in thewatch house unchallenged.

It is not clear if theimpersonator had direct contactwith prisoners or was able toaccess police computers while hewas in the building, ABC reported.

Shadow police ministerMichelle Roberts told ABC TVquestions need to be answeredimmediately.

"This is truly frighteningand it points to a major systemsbreakdown," she told ABC Radio.

"It's an incredible breach ofsecurity and some questions needto be answered immediately."

P o l i c e U n i o n v i c epresident Denis Hayden said theunion wanted assurances that noofficers' personal details had beencompromised.

"I believe that they've got aright to feel very, very insecure,"Mr Hayden told ABC Radio. "If he'saccessed them in anyway I've gotserious concerns about our ownpeople's security."

A spokeswoman for PoliceMinister Rob Johnson told ABCRadio the Minister had beenbriefed about the investigation, butthat it was inappropriate for him tocomment.

day again folks and here we go for another shot, burparrghhh that's better. I must admit I don't mind a slipperynipple or a B-52 every now and then, it's those damnG

tequila shots that wreck me. I sat with a few Balinese mates the othernight who just so happened to have an old plastic water bottle filled withsome local Arak, apparently it comes from the north of the island, andboy oh boy did this stuff have a kick. The lads kept passing a shot glassaround and one by one, slowly over the course of the evening welistened to one of them playing a guitar, with every single one of them

smoking cigarettes that absolutely stunk of cloves plus the many very good looking young women walkingpast or coming into the little shop we sat out front of to grab a bottle of water or a drink, we all got as pissed asyou can imagine. At one point the boss cocky even sent one of his underlings to go fetch another bottle ofthis poison as the stock had almost run dry. I sat back and watched the world go by and couldn't help thinkingto myself whether we are all doing the right thing living here in Bali, hanging around with our crowd thatdoesn't do anything at all except sit and tell the same stories over and over with most making up stories ofconquest that simply put couldn't be true.

I mean I understand that most people had a life before coming to live here but please don't tell meyou've walked on the moon or you've invented inventing. You, like the most of the expat community here aregenerally only here because you found it was a basic easy lifestyle and being much easier and cheaper thanexisting in Australia you decided to stay. Getting out of bed at 10.30 and cruising through your day is great,and staying awake all night belting back as many greenys as possible the same, but in thinking about it, isthis the way it's going to be for the rest of your life?? Have you worked all your life to reach the pinnacle beingthis?? Does anyone travel anymore or go fishing? Is life all about those little green bottles and tuning intoLBFM?? Anyways it was great to have been invited to sit with the local crew and watch how they worked thepretty young girls who just seemed to wanna sit and join with us. Strange things happen when you drink the

Arak I can tell you and it was only a few months ago that a bad batch of the brew hit the streets and wasdropping people like flies, I do remember something like that and in saying so be sure to be in good companyand be very careful if you are gonna have a session on the stuff.

Anyways moving along I see the Mighty Pies had a sensational win this weekend bringing the winsin a row to seven. For those of you that can't count that's the number after 6 and before 8, and at any rate it'sa great result for almost 2 months of top level football, especially with so many key players being droppedout due to injury. Well done The Mighty Pies. I see Richmond had another solid win over the Saints, albeit byonly 9 points, but a win none the less costing me yet another tip, so putting the Saints on my shit list. Theeagles had a surprise loss to Brisbane Lions, and I think the biggest surprise was Melbourne knockingEssendon out for the day, I don't think anyone would have seen that coming. Now we have four teams allshuffling for equal top on the ladder, Eagles, Pies, Essendon, and Adelaide (three birds and a bomber). It willbe seriously interesting to see how the lads run on for the next three months in pursuit of the big game at theend of the season and just who is the hungriest dog, as in the boxing ring the old saying goes the hungrydog gets the bone !!! Woof woof woof. The Gold Coast Suns are still winless at the moment so I'd belooking for some decent odds over the next few games, as they have to win sooner or later.

Finishing up this week I will congratulate the queen of England on her diamond jubilee being 60

years on the throne. I must admit I enjoyed watching the pomp and ceremony and all the boats on theThames in celebration. Well done old girl. Lastly I believe the week just gone had the local boys in bluecatching another crew of idiots who think they can bring drugs to the island and not be caught. I hope you getthe book thrown at you and the authorities extend the full extent of the law to your sentence, as I have alwayssaid, if you do it in Bali you are a fool.

Ok my loyal readers I hope you have enjoyed reading this week's ramble as much as I have enjoyedwriting it for you. I hope the most of you stay safe, happy, healthy and always remember Don't worry aboutwhat people say behind your back, they are the people who are finding faults in your life instead of fixing thefaults in their own life.

Enjoy your week,

Queen minus companion for Jubilee concertThere was a star-studdedinternational cast and theflag-waving fanfare of anadoring public, but it was as u b d u e d Q u e e n w h oattended a Diamond Jubileeconcert in her honour,w i t h o u t h e r d e v o t e d

consort.As Prince Philip

recuperated in hospitaljust a few kilometresaway receiving treatmentfor a bladder infection,the Queen was a latearrival for Monday night'sconcert outside the frontgates of BuckinghamPalace, part of thecelebrations for her 60-year reign.

"The only sadthing about this eveningis that my father couldn't

be here with us becauseunfortunately he hastaken unwell," Prince Charlestold the crowd.

Arriving at the custom-built arena in the palaceforecourt, some 90 minutes afterthe concert officially kicked off,the 86-year-old Queen wore afull-length dark cape, gave only asimple wave, and was laterreportedly seen wearing yellowearplugs.

While the monarchmissed performances by upbeatJessie J, hula-hooping Grace

Jones, salmon-suited CliffRichard, Welsh crooner TomJones and a duet by Gary Barlowand Cheryl Cole, Australiansongstress Kylie Minogueperformed to a full royal box.

Dressed in a black shortssuit with silver trim, including theoutline of a crown on the back ofher jacket, Minogue entered thestage with her trademark skipbefore singing a medley of herhits including Spinning Around,

Can't Get You Out Of MyHead, Step Back In Time, and AllThe Lovers.

Fellow Australian RolfHarris also took to the stage as apresenter throughout the concert.

"We have seen tonightsome incredible performances.We have had opera, pop, rock,

swing, punk, wrap, instrumentsand trumpets and drummers. If Ihad known I would have broughtalong my didgeridoo and wobbleboard," Harris said.

"We are here celebrating agenerous and compassionatelady who has given 60 years ofservice to the people of GreatBritain and the Commonwealth.She has been an inspiration tomillions, she's touched heartsthroughout the world ... We wishyou a healthy and happy and long

reign."Indigenous Australian

guitarist and vocalist Gurrumulcame on stage for a liveperformance of Sing, a songspecially written for the Queen'sDiamond Jubilee and featuringsome 200 artists from across theCommonwealth.

Flags waved madly andsome dancing movement could beseen from the royal box whichhoused many senior family

m e m b e r s i n c l u d i n gCharles and wife Camilla, PrinceWilliam and wife Catherine, PrinceHarry, Prince Edward and wifeSophie.

F o l l o w i n g r o u s i n gperformances by a swinging andsuited Robbie Wil l iams, asparkling Shirley Bassey, and

Elton John who offeredt h e Q u e e n h i s"congratulations on agreat achievement",came an amazingfinale.

From atop thepalace, British bandMadness played theirhits Our House and ItMust Be Love, beforehanding over the stageto Sir Paul McCartneywho presented someBeatles classics andthe theme from the

James Bond movieLive and Let Die during

which the stage came alive withfireworks.

"Your Majesty, a DiamondJubilee is a unique and specialevent. Some of us have had the joyof spending three jubilees with youand I have the medals to prove it,"heir to the throne, Charles said,inspiring audience laughter.

"This is an opportunity tothank you and my father for alwaysbeing there for us ... and formaking us proud to be British ...proud to be part of something as

unique as the Commonwealthwhich through your leadership,has given us that essential senseof unity through diversity."

Appearing on stage in agold lame cocktail dress, thesovereign remained tight-lippedthrough her eldest son's speechand a moving rendition of GodSave The Queen, before lightingthe national beacon and triggeringa spectacular fireworks display.

How low can Facebook go?Two weeks after the largest,most anticipated IPO inyears, Facebook shareskeep going down. And down.And down. And investorswant to know how far theycan go.

During trade on early in the

week the shares hit $26.44, morethan 30 percent below the initialpublic offering price of $38, beforerebounding slightly to $26.90.

"It is difficult to argue forowning the stock today," saidBernstein Research analystCarlos Kirjner in a research notethat added to the sellingmomentum.

Kirjner forecast a priceof $25 over the next 12 months,but added that a real possibleslowdown in Facebook revenuegrowth "wi l l l i ke ly dr i veadditional downside pressure onthe stock beyond what is alreadyreflected in our price target."

Other critics echoed that."There are some real signs

that Facebook may be in realtrouble and could turn out to be adisastrous investment," said OliverPursche, President of GaryGoldberg Financial Services, aNew York money manager.

"We told people to stayaway because we didn't and stilldon't know how it was valued," hesaid.

By far the Internet'sdomi nan t s oc i a l ne two rk ,Facebook went public on May 18 in

a $16 billion share sale, the secondlargest IPO in the United Statesever.

The run-up to the sale wasmarked by bubbly enthusiasmreminiscent of the dot com era, tothe extent that lead underwriterMorgan Stanley agreed to raise theoffering price and increase thenumber of shares issued.

But the shares barely heldabove the $38 level on the openingday and have fallen ever since,

delivering real and paperlosses of some $4.6 billion to thenew investors.

Price forecasts are all overthe place, from $10 to the upper$40s, as more questions are beingraised about the company's realpotential to turn an audience ofnearly one billion users into an

advertising bonanza.Bernstein Research's $25

estimate takes note of thecompany's great potential but alsoits still-unproven ability to fully tap

that potential -- whether it canmake social network-basedadvertising as effective as, forinstance, Google's search-basedads, and if it can do so as fast asmany investors expect.

"We do not think it is likelythat the issues associated with theeffectiveness of social advertisingwill be addressed, or that upsidefrom new opportunities willbecome materially clearer in a fewquarters," Kirjner said.

"To the contrary, webelieve that Facebook's revenuegrowth over the next twelve

months will at best stabilize, andprobably further decelerate."

Pursche said the selloffhas nothing to do with thedarkening clouds over theeconomic landscape or anythingnew learned by investors since theIPO.

Nor does it have much todo with the revelation that theunderwriters quietly reviseddownward their forecasts of

Facebook's earnings justdays before the IPO.

Instead, inst i tut ionalinvestors bought expecting anopening day price surge "becauseit is an exciting company. Whenthat didn't happen, they have beendumping the shares, he said.

"The sentiment is very

negative, the technicals arebroken," he said.

"Real structural issues"over Facebook 's earn ingspotential aside, Pursche said, fund

managers are likely now lookingto how their performance andportfolios will look the end of thesecond quarter, and are sellingto minimize the damage.

"If you are a well-knownfund manager, you probablydon't want Facebook in your top10 holdings" in the half-yearreport.

"I wouldn't be shocked ifon June 30 it could be tradingbelow $20."

Trip Chowdhry of GlobalEquities Research called the IPO"totally mispriced."

Valuations are "anywherefrom $8 to $50. The price is all overthe place," he said. "I think the IPOshould have been priced from $10to $15."

There are optimist icanalysts out there, and more arerecommending the stock as it falls.

B u t P u r s c h e a n dChowdhry both said the selloffcould continue until the companyc o n v i n c i n g l y c l e a r s u p

longstanding questions about itssources of revenue and itsbusiness direction.

"There is one thing thatFacebook needs to answer,"Chowdhry said.

"I think an investor willwant to know what percent ofcurrent revenues are comingt h r o u g h t h e i r c u r r e n tshareholders," which includeMicrosoft and game-maker Zynga.

High-Speed, DependableInternet Connections areAbsolute Prerequisite toD e v e l o p i n g B a l i ' sTourism Indust ry

Bali Daily has reported onthe close link between Internet

usage in Bali and the rapid growthof the island's tourism sector.Zulfadly Syam, chairman of

the Bali chapter of the Associationof Indonesian Internet Providers(APJI), described the Internetbusiness in Bali, saying: TheInternet users are mainly foreignv i s i t o r s , h o t e l s , t o u r i s mbusinesses, offices and urbanresidents.

Syam estimates that 90%of Internet-dependent businessesare gathered in the island's south inorder to take advantage of theconcentration of Internet networks,with service to many more remoteareas of the island still plagued bylow connection speeds.

Steps, however , a reunderway to improve and expandthe Internet infrastructure in Bali.BIZNET Networks held a receptioncelebrating the expansion of itsFiber Optic network to Ubud inCentral Bali.

BIZNET Network is

Indonesia's leading fixed-l i n e a n d m u l t i - m e d i atelecommunications provider,providing network, Internet, datacentre, cloud computing and PayTV service, BIZNET Network alsooperates the nation's biggest datacollection centre in West Java.

In addition, theIndonesian governmentis launching a NationalInternet Exchange (NIX)in cooperation with Bali-b a s e d I n t e r n e tp r o v i d e r s . T h egovernment is taking

these steps following asurvey showing thatIndonesia's Internetconnection speeds arethe slowest amongA S E A N m e m b e rnations.

Armpit odours,from pads sewn into T-shirts, were collectedfrom volunteers ofyoung, middle-agedand old participants.

Th e d o n o r shad to wash nightlywith odourless soap

and shampoo, had toavoid spicy foods,cigarettes and boozeand sleep alone in their T-shirts forfive consecutive nights.

Each day the T-shirtswere stored in airtight bags, saidthe researchers, led by JohanLundstrom of the Monell

Chemical Senses Centerin Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Their paper, printed in thejournal PLoS ONE, said thedonated smells were evaluated bypeople who were asked to rate theintensity and pleasantness of

each odour ,identify which of twoscents came from theolder individual, andestimate the age of thei n d i v i d u a l w h oproduced each sample.

Dr Lundstromsaid the participants

w e r e a b l e t odiscriminate betweenthe three donor agecategories and therereally was a distinct "oldperson" smell.

"But old personsmell is less intenseand less unpleasantthan body odours ofmiddle-aged and youngindividuals," he said.

" T h i s w a ssurprising given thepopular conception ofold age odour as

disagreeable."Dr Lundstrom

said this might just be theirarmpits.

"It is possible that othersources of body odours, such asskin or breath, may have differentqualities," he said.

A pa i r o f w omen ' sunderwear that fell out ofa Brazilian legislator'sbriefcase on the floor of

Congress two weeksa g o h a s b e e nincinerated after no onestepped forward to claimthem.

A group of five legislatorswas rushing into the Chamber ofD e p u t i e s t o v o t e o n acybercrimes-related bill on theevening of May 15 when one of

them apparently droppedthe offending red and whitepanties.

Security guards quickly,but discreetly, swooped in to pickup the panties and turn themover to the chamber's lost andfound office. Security staff thendecided to incinerate theunderwear late on Wednesdayshortly after a story about theincident first appeared online,and went viral on Brazilian socialmedia.

Legislators said theywere aware of the incident, but

"It must have been a trickthey played on somebody," saidMarco Maia, the ruling WorkersParty's leader in the chamber.

"I was in the coffee shopand two colleagues called me into show me the panties," saidFrancisco Everardo OliveiraSilva, a professional clownknown as "Tiririca" who won aseat in Brazil's Congress in 2010as a kind of protest candidate.

"We have a suspicion asto who the owner is," Oliveirasaid, "but we're not going to turnhim in.

Squat toilets will boost shareholders ProfitWith investment banksfacing an uncer tainfuture, one Nomurashareholder has comeu p w i t h a n o v e lsuggestion to help toboost its share price,

replace all office toiletsw i th Japanese-s ty lesquat facilities.

"All toilets within thecompany's offices shall beJapanese-style toilets, therebytoughening the legs and loinsand hunkering down on a dailybasis, aiming at achieving four-d ig i t stock pr ices, " theshareholder said on the bank'swebsite ahead of this month'sannual meeting on June 27.

"The company can

surely avoid failure if theystraddle over a Japanese-styletoilet every day and strengthen

their lower body. If itcannot, it can only be acceptedas a bad luck."

Under Japanese law,shareholders who have held atleast 30,000 shares for sixmonths or more can make theirown proposals at annual

meetings."When considering the

proposals for the shareholdersmeeting, we take relevantaction in accordance with thelaw," a Nomura spokeswomansaid.

The bank's share pricedropped below 1,000 yen($12.75) late in 2008 and hasnot reached the four-digit marksince then.

T h e u n n a m e dshareholder submitted 100proposals to be voted on at the

meeting, including changingthe company's name to"Vegetable Holdings", though

only 18 met the bank'srequirements for them to besubmitted to shareholders. Thebank's board of directorsopposed all 18.

Other suggest ionsinclude abolishing the practiceof giving three banzai cheers at

the annual meeting becausetoo many shareholders havingstrong armpit odor.

The proposals aren't allas far-fetched, however. Oneof the more conventionalsuggestions was that anycapital increase should befunded by rights issue ratherthan public stock offering, andthat any decision on publicstock offerings should besubject to a resolution atshareholder meetings toprotect shareholder rights.

A judge sentenced Tisch totwo years probation and she mustalso undergo mental healthtreatment and receive help foralcohol dependency as a conditionof her sentence. She may still face arestitution hearing.

North boss quits after board reviewNorth Melbourne chiefe x e c u t i v e E u g e n eArocca has quit t he AFLclub after reports of a riftbetween himself andboard members.

Arocca handedin his resignation,effective immediately,saying his position hadbecome untenable.

"As a result ofmatters beyond mycontrol, I have handedin my resignation toJ a m e s B r a y s h a weffective immediately,"he said in a statement.

"I will remain aproud and passionatemember of the NorthMelbourne FootballClub and will fondlyremember my time as

CEO."I want to thank

my loyal staff for theirincredible hard workand support and I wantto pass on my bestwishes to the playinggroup, Board andfootball department fora successful future.

"I would alsolike to acknowledge ouramazing supportersand urge them to continue to backthe club in and get right behind themighty royal blue and white.

"North Melbourne hasbeen a big part of my life for thepast five years and I hope toremain part of the Kangaroofamily for a long time to come.

Kangaroos presidentJames Brayshaw said the boardhad met last month to set in placea process to decide whetherArocca should continue in the jobbeyond the expiry of his contractin October, or be replaced.

But he denied that Aroccahad delivered an ultimatum overthe timing of the decision or that hehad a personal feud with the chiefexecutive.

"It was decided weneeded to embark on a process ofeither re-signing Eugene or

beginning to search for whoevermight replace him," Brayshaw toldreporters.

"It's just proper boardbehaviour. It had begun, it wasongoing, he knew everythingabout it, there was no cloak anddagger about it."

B r a y s h a w s a i dsuggestions of rifts betweenArocca and himself or betweenArocca and the club's footballmanager Donald McDonald wereuntrue, although he admittedthere had been friction at times.

there had been friction attimes.

"In footy clubs, regularlyyou get times when people don'tsee eye to eye, it's a robustenvironment," Brayshaw said.

"I th ink Donald andEugene have great respect for

each other.

"I'd be lying if Isaid they always seeeye to eye, the sameway I'd be lying if I saidEugene and I alwayssaw eye to eye.

"You don't, it'sa brutal industry andthere are times whenyou need to havebru ta l and f rankd i scu ss i o n s w i thpeople."

B r a y s h a wsaid Arocca's "streetfighter" nature had

caused him to buttheads with other clubfigures at times, butwas also part of whathad made him good athis job.

H e s a i dArocca had achieveda lot in his five years,notably spearheadingthe creation of theclub's $15 milliont r a i n i n g a n dadministration facility,

helping transferring club control tothe members and increasing

revenue.Chief operating officerCam Vale will be acting chiefexecut ive , wi th Brayshawexpecting it to take two or threemonths to find a permanentreplacement.

Brayshaw said Arocca hadbeen asked whether he wanted tof r o n t T u e s d a y ' s m e d i aconference, but declined.

The baby fell off thecar in the middle of anintersection and was foundunharmed and strappedinto the seat, Phoenix policespokesman James Holmessaid.

T h e m o t h e rCatalina Clouser, 19, wasbooked into jail on childabuse and aggravatedassault charges, he said.

The infant was taken to alocal hospital as a precaution andis in the custody of state ChildProtective Services.

"It appears the suspect

put the baby on the roof ofthe car and drove off, forgetting hewas still on the roof," Holmes said.

Police said Clouser andher boyfriend had been smoking

marijuana in a park and left withthe toddler to buy beer.

Officers stopped the carand the boyfriend was arrested forsuspicion of driving under theinfluence while driving with the

baby in the 2000 FordFocus.

P o l i ce l e a r n e d th a tClouser was so upset about thearrest that she drove to a friend's

home and "admittedlysmo ke d o n e o r twoa d d i t i o n a l b o w l s o fmarijuana", Holmes said.

She le f t aboutmidnight with the babyasleep in the car seat,placing the child on top ofthe vehicle, he said.Clouser apparently did notrealise that the baby wasmissing until she arrivedhome.

H o l m e s s a i dwitnesses who were friends

of the mother advised officers thatthe child belonged to Clouser. Themother then arrived at the sceneand "made admissions to whathad occurred".

Lorenzo boosts title bid with winJorge Lorenzo tightenedhis grip on the MotoGPchampionship lead whenthe Spanish Yamaha ridercame out on top ina b a t t l e w i t hcompatriot Dani

Pedrosa to win theCatalunya GrandPrix on Sunday.

Under dark skiesand with spots of rainfalling on the Montmelotrack, Lorenzo snatchedthe lead with just undersix laps left and pulledaway from Honda'sPedrosa to secure histhird victory in five racesthis season.

Italian Andrea Doviziosowas third on his Yamaha, with

Pedrosa's Honda team-mate anddefending champion CaseyStoner of Australia fourth andBritain's Cal Crutchlow, anotherYamaha rider, fifth.

A f t e r p l a n t i n g h i ssignature flag in the gravel in front

of his ecstatic fans,Lorenzo told Spanish television itwas "fantastic" to win in front ofhome support.

"It was a finely balanced

race," added the flamboyant 25-year-old, the 2010 MotoGPchampion.

"I didn't want to do

anything crazy as we were ridingvery close together and there wasa danger of colliding and endingup on the ground.

"I had to wait for mychance and as you saw I

managed to get pasthim."

L o r e n z o ' s v i c t o r yextended his lead over Stonerin the standings to 20 points

and the Spaniardnow has 115 afterfive of 18 races.Stoner, who said last

month he wouldretire at the end ofthe season afterfalling out of lovewith the sport, has95 and Pedrosa 85.

P e d r o s aadmitted to being "abit disappointed"w i t h h i s r a c e ,especially after herocketed from fifth

on the grid to lead into theopening corner.

"I thought I would be

able to perform better towardsthe end of the race but I had tosettle for second," he said.

"I tried my hardest but Ifound it very hard to control thebike when braking on the finallaps.

Australian cricketers won't rule out strikeAustralia's top cricketershave refused to rule outstrike action if a June 30deadline passes withouta new pay agreement

with the country's cricketboard, the players' unionsaid.

Austral ian Cricketers'Association (ACA) chief PaulMarsh said his organisation andCricket Australia (CA) had hit astalemate over negotiations for anew five-year deal and werelooking at all their options.

However, he insisted anystrike would be "an absolute last

resort".Marsh said the ACA was

looking for about $30 million but it isnot clear yet how much CA has puton the table.

Marsh said Australia'sparticipation in the Twenty20 World

Cup in Sri Lanka in Septembercould be under threat, along withAustralia's one-day internationaltour of England in June-July.

"You can't rule anythingout. I don't want this to sound likethe players are all preparing to goon strike because that's not thecase at all," Marsh told SEN Radio.

"That type of action is anabsolute last resort."

Marsh said if a new deal

could not be agreed uponby the end of this month, the ACAwould prefer to keep the currentdeal rolling along in the shortterm.

"If Cricket Australia don'twant to do that, then we're forced

with a decision to make," Marshsaid.

"We either accept theposition that they put forward orwe look at what our other optionsare.

"We should be makingsure we know what all thedifferent options are so if thattime comes, we can sit down withthe players and say 'what do youwant to do?'

Cecchin d ropped as Maroons name squad

Referee Matt Cecch in has beendumped from game two ofState of Origin at Sydney'sO l ymp i c s ta d i u m, to b ereplaced by veteran TonyArcher.

B e n C u m m i n s , w h oofficiated in the opening game of theseries alongside Cecchin, hasretained his place despite both mencoming under intense criticism forawarding a controversial late try toGreg Inglis in game one.

Cecchin was axed after justone game in charge while Archer hasbeen appointed for his 11th Originclash.

Referees' boss Bill Harrigan

admitted there were several

candidates for the role."We were pleased with

the performances of the officials inOrigin I but there is also enormouscompetition within this squad fromofficials who are striving to be apart of these big matches,"Harrigan said.

Video referee SeanHampstead has also been

dumped and replaced by Steve Clark.It was Hampstead who gavethe green light for Inglis' controversialfour-pointer against the Blues in gameone.

Queensland coach MalMeninga said he is not concerned byrefereeing matters and has no plansto meet with the whistleblowersbefore the game.

"The referees have copped afair beating in the last 10 days, which Ithink is unfortunate," Meninga said.

"(But) it's not necessary forme to see the refs."

Queens land se lec torsnamed Broncos veteran Corey Parkeras 18th man in an otherwise

unchanged squad for the Sydney

showdown.Utility man Parker replaces

Manly half-back Daly Cherry-Evans,with speculation mounting Matt Scottcould miss the game to be with hissick mother.

Scott's mother Diane isbattling throat cancer and Meningatold reporters in Brisbane heexpected the Cowboys front rower to

decide soon on whether he wouldtravel to Sydney for the match."Matty's with family at the

moment and he'll be with family untilhe makes a decision to come backdown here," Meninga said.

"He wants to play but that'sall conducive on what happens to hisfamily."

Scott's potential absence isMeninga's only concern although theMaroons coach indicted back rowerAshley Harrison was carrying aniggling groin injury.

"Ashley Harrison's got a bit ofa problem with his groin area butaside from that everyone should beokay for the game."

"It was easily more intense than in aTest match," the recently-cappedKangaroos rising star said.

"I can remember parts of the gamewhere you run around to get back on-sideand they are already running at you.

"I've never experienced that before.Now I have and I'll be ready for game two."Tim will be quite an addition to the

team. Any team that plays the PenrithPanthers will always do video on him and Iam glad I'm on the same team as him.

Panthers prop Tim Grant is ready to use thelessons learnt from Petero Civoniceva to lead NewSouth Wales to victory in next week's State ofOrigin clash in Sydney.

The Origin debutant says is now ready to put thoselessons into practice and upset the Maroons in next week'sState of Origin clash in Sydney.

Grant will go head-to-head with former Panthersskipper Petero Civoniceva, and the 24-year-old said it will be

a special occasion when he takes on his mentor at theOlympic stadium.

"It's a great opportunity being here and playingagainst Pet will be a great moment for me as he's helped somuch throughout my career," Grant said.

"I've learnt everything from him off the field and now Iam playing against him and I am sure I will learn more fromthat experience too and try to use it to my advantage."

While Grant is full of admiration for thestatesmanlike figure of Civoniceva, he credits formerQueensland prop Steve Price with opening his eyes to whatis required to be an elite-level prop.

"Having the size I always went well in the juniors inthe front-row," Grant said.

"But I remember in my debut season playing againstSteve Price and I learned a few lessons that night that I still

value today."It was the way he was working on the field for histeam-mates and the amount of stuff he did without the ballthat really gave me a better understanding of my position."

Grant will pack down with North Queensland front-rower James Tamou, who had a superb debut in game one,and the 194cm bookend is looking forward to lining upalongside him.

"I've met Jimmy before and no doubt we'll have agood chat over the camp and if I can play anywhere near asgood as he did, then I've done well," he said.

Tamou said the opening fixture in Melbourne was
