James Franco Says He Might Consider Having Sex On Screen for His Film
James Franco has recently debuted not just one but three of his sex-driven movie projects at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. They were "Interior. Leather Bar.", "Kink" and "Lovelace". A no stranger to NSFW-themed films, Franco admits that he won't hesitate to really have sex in front of the cameras but only in certain "circumstances."
Asked if he'd pull a Shia LaBeouf, who claimed he would have sex on screen for Lars von Tier's "Nymphomaniac", Franco responds carefully, "I'd say under the right circumstances. There are a lot of circumstances." He adds, "Who's involved? Both behind-the-scenes, behind the camera, in front of the camera."
Franco goes on explaining what drove him in capturing sexuality in his movies like "Kink" or "Interior. Leather Bar." He says, "It's hard to put certain kinds of sex in film. Now, I could sort of understand that if it wasn't so easy to put other kinds of things in film, like violence. Obviously, there's some weird standard here that is just illogical."
"Sex and sexuality are such big parts of our lives - the ways that we define ourselves, the ways that we interact with each other," he reasons. "Everyone thinks about it. Everyone knows about it. Even if you insist on living an incredibly chaste life and you're chaste in your thoughts, that's a conscious and concerted effort to keep sex from your thoughts. So you're still engaging with sex even if it's in a negative capacity. It's a huge part of our lives. It's part of being human."
Franco will next be seen in another sexy film "Spring Breakers" on March 22. His film "Lovelace", in which he stars as Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, is also set to come out in the U.S. cinemas later this year. Apart from the steamy pics, he will also be seen in Disney's family movie "Oz: The Great and Powerful" which will arrive nationwide on March 8.

"We have been hearing a lot about Rule 41 after the US Department of Justice has pushed an update to the rule. The change to the Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure grants the FBI much greater powers to hack legally into any computer across the country, and perhaps anywhere in the world, with just a single search warrant authorized by any US judge. However, both civil liberties groups and tech companies have blasted the proposed change, saying it is an affront to the Fourth Amendment and would allow the cops and Feds in America to hack remotely into people's computers and phones around the world."

Family rally round as Bee Gees star Robin Gibb battles liver cancer
Robin Gibb is battling liver cancer.
The 61-year-old Bee Gee has been undergoing treatment for the disease for several months, and is now being cared for by his wife Dwina.
In recent weeks the star has appeared in public looking increasingly frail.
He was taken to hospital last week following a 999 call from his £8million 12th-century home in Oxfordshire.
Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, 61, has been secretly battling liver cancer for several months
He spent five hours in hospital on Tuesday before being allowed back home, where he was joined by his mother Barbara, 91, and older brother Barry, 65, who have flown in from America to be by his side.
Gibb was well enough to promote this year's Poppy Appeal single, a cover of the Bee Gees hit I've Gotta Get A Message To You, on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV last month – but his gaunt appearance fuelled concerns about his health.
He had been treated for inflammation of the colon two weeks earlier. Last October he had surgery on his intestine following the same medical emergency that took the life of his twin brother Maurice eight years ago, and he cancelled a U.S. tour this April due to extreme stomach pain.
We rely on each other: With brothers Barry (left) and Maurice (centre) in 1990. Maurice died from a heart attack in 2003
Family support: Robin's older brother Barry, pictured with him this week, has flown in from the US to be near him
Last month the singer tried to quash rumours about his health, saying:
'I'm feeling great, absol-utely great.'
But despite his optimism, the NHS says the outlook for those with liver cancer is poor as most cases are detected late.
A close friend told the Daily Mail: 'We should be thinking about Robin's incredible talent as a singer and songwriter, and the wonderful gift of music that he and his brothers gave to the world.'
Mr Gibb, who does not smoke or drink and eats healthily, told the Mail last
year that he spends 20 minutes a day sweating in a 'detoxification
He and Dwina, 58, an ordained druid priestess, are reportedly considering a visit to a Native American medicine man for a possible natural cure.
Fighting spirit: The 61-year-old insisted last month that he was 'feeling great'
The couple famously have an 'accepting' marriage, which has survived Gibb fathering a daughter with their housekeeper, Claire Yang.
Miss Yang, 35, and Snow Robin, three, now live in Oxfordshire, five miles from the converted monastery where the Gibbs and their 28-year-old son Robin-John reside. Gibb also has two adult children from his first marriage to secretary Molly Hullis.
Last night, in an interview for Sky Arts, he described the loss of Maurice, who died from complications following an operation to correct an intestinal blockage, as 'something I haven't accepted'. He added: 'I just imagine he is out there somewhere and I will bump into him one day.'
Rallying round: Brave Robin, who is very clean-living, has been joined at his £8 million home by friends and family to ensure he has all he needs
Last December, he said of his surgery: 'The gastroenterologist told me my intestine was two hours from bursting.
'You realise that however much you don't think about death – or think "that's for other people" – you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here. Losing people makes you realise you've got to grab life – not put things off. I don't have too much faith in destiny, or an afterlife. This is it.'
The Bee Gees disbanded after Maurice's death, having sold 200million records. The brothers had lost sibling Andy in 1988, aged 30. He had struggled with cocaine addiction.

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative auction prices decline
Prices of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission allowances in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) have fallen for the second auction in a row, to $4.53 per metric ton (mt) of CO2. The auction prices on June 1 were 40% below their previous peak value of $7.50/mtCO2, reached on December 2, 2015.

Panama Canal expansion unlikely to significantly change crude oil, petroleum product flows
On June 26, the Panama Canal Authority, the body that operates the Panama Canal, will inaugurate a third set of locks, which will allow for the transit of larger ships. This is the first such expansion since the canal was completed in 1914. With the exception of U.S. propane exports, the expansion of the Panama Canal is not likely to drastically affect crude oil and petroleum product flows.

U.S. crude oil storage capacity utilization rises even as storage capacity grows
Weekly U.S. commercial crude oil inventories have increased by more than 71 million barrels (15%) since the end of September, pushing crude oil storage capacity utilization to a near record high of 73% for the week ending June 10.

Clean Power Plan implementation decisions affect CO2 emissions and electricity prices
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan (CPP) regulates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at existing fossil-fueled electric power plants, but the ultimate energy-related emissions effect depends to an important extent on how the rule will be implemented by states. Because the CPP provides the flexibility to choose different compliance options for reducing CO2 emissions, EIA has produced an Issues in Focus analysis that considers several compliance paths.
EIA launches data add-on tool for Google Sheets
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has released a free data add-on for Google Sheets. Similar to EIA's Microsoft Excel extension, the new Sheets add-on allows users to browse EIA's energy API data categories or search keywords to find domestic and international energy data for the production, consumption, and price of different fuels, as well as EIA's short-term forecasts and long-term projections. EIA currently has 1.2 million data series available through the Application Programming Interface (API), developed as part of EIA's Open Data program.

EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case projects that natural gas-fired electricity generation will exceed coal-fired electricity generation by 2022, while generation from renewables—driven by wind and solar—will overtake coal-fired generation by 2029. The shift away from coal-fired generation to a combination of higher natural gas-fired and renewables generation and greater energy efficiency is expected to be accelerated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan (CPP).

Total U.S. electricity sales projected to grow slowly as electricity intensity declines
Electricity sales, as projected in the U.S. Energy Information Administration's most recent Annual Energy Outlook (AEO2016) Reference case, increase in each sector through 2040. In 2015, 3.7 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) of electricity were sold, and total electricity sales are projected to rise 0.7% annually through the projection period. The residential sector currently purchases the most electricity, with a 38% share of total electricity sales in 2015. However, sales in the commercial sector are projected to surpass those in the residential sector in the early 2020s.
First new U.S. nuclear reactor in almost two decades set to begin operating
The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Watts Bar Unit 2 was connected to the power grid on June 3, becoming the first nuclear power plant to come online since 1996, when Watts Bar Unit 1 started operations. Watts Bar Unit 2 is undergoing final testing, producing electricity at incremental levels of power, as TVA prepares to start commercial operation later this summer. The new reactor is designed to add 1,150 megawatts (MW) of electricity generating capacity to southeastern Tennessee.

Natural gas flaring in North Dakota has declined sharply since 2014
The volume of North Dakota's natural gas production that is flared has fallen sharply in both absolute and percentage terms since 2014. In March 2016, 10% of North Dakota's total natural gas production was flared, less than one-third of the January 2014 flaring rate, which was at 36%. Flaring rates and volumes have significantly decreased as North Dakota's total natural gas production has continued to grow, setting a monthly total natural gas production record of 1.71 billion cubic feet per day in March 2016. The North Dakota Industrial Commission established targets in September 2015 to reduce natural gas flaring.

Just before anyone jumps to conclusions, I am a home owner, and a "portfolio-ist" (i never sell my properties as i have bought each one for specific humanitarian reasons)
I would like to know how many of the people waiting outside the Emaar office for ridiculous hours on end are ACTUAL REAL HOME OWNERS?? They all want to make their "quick buck".
This proposed community is specially designed for families who want to own, not for "investors" who will rip off the families with ridiculous rents, and won't sell unless they are making stupendous profits. Unfortunately the majority of the so called "investors" are "new money" people (just saw green in the last generation). They may have big pockets, but small brains (money cannot buy knowledge)...truth hurts...desert dream Monday, 15 April 2013 10:21 PM - UAE
Sorry but your comments don't hold ground..Firstly you cannot judge people by appearance. Secondly it is a free market there is a huge demand for emaar villas and they are are free to fund a percentage and sell it for a ridiculous profit to another investor or end user. That's how bull markets work.
Coming back to your first point - despite what you may think, there was a huge number of home owners present. Do you know how successful the real estate agents in Dubai are? They make a killing every month and are lining up buying 3-4 units and will end up selling a unit OP for 1 million at 3 million to a 'homeowner' like you. These are market dynamics and you should accept them or kindly step aside, and let the investors do their thing. Wish you all the best
Ameet Monday, 15 April 2013 9:44 AM - UAE
Why has Arabian Business not done any story on the launch fiasco? They are always ready to report on developers' shoddy treatment of investors'. This is a big story anyway you slice it so why the silence? It was a poorly managed launch and any other developer would have gotten slammed by the media, govt, RERA. Why does Emaar get away with this? Wake up AB, show us the same courage you have in taking on Nakheel. Havent you seen the videos?

Another puppet show condoned by a Dubai company which does everything else right. It just feels that an event like this is when they have their arm twisted into being part of something that is irrational. If its a lottery, just use random.org rather than take pictures of proxies who are hired to stand in artificial queues. A cheap way to get publicity on the " revival " of property ?
Samara Pope Sunday, 14 April 2013 9:55 AM - Dubai
People desperate to trade millions for something of 'value'.
'Value' is based on people's belief.
Belief is a psychological contruct.
The best way to create a psychological belief in the population that something is valuable and make them desperate to part with their wealth for it is the introduce the illusion of scarcity, rarity, and a resulting feeling of being at a loss or deprived if we dont get our hands on a particular grain of desert sand for a rediculous price that seems justified by our emotional desperation to not 'loose out'.
Saurabh Killa Sunday, 14 April 2013 9:55 AM - United Arab Emirates
i went to the launch centre at 4 am to queue and there were no signboard and the security guards were not giving any information.
finally got a token at 1 pm and at 8 pm was told all units have been sold.
Dinesh Shroff Sunday, 14 April 2013 9:54 AM - United Arab Emirates
How can a developer condone such a thing. If there is any regret for the stampede and for the mad rush that ensued, this launch should be cancelled.
Shame on you investors for even supporting such a launch and actually buying. If you want things to change, you should change yourself first and stand up for yourself and have some respect.

I think two workable ideas to restrict property sales to genuine buyers can be: (1) the homes only to be sold to/registered in the name of the person standing in the line verifiably matched against his photo ID card/passport and (2) no resale permitted for 3 years and then too, only once 60% of the home is paid for.

Amazing! I took the option in step 4 and served over linquine and had this for dinner.....super delicious! I added no salt...none needed. These simple ingredients turned into a gourmet meal that I will happily make again and serve to "foodie" guests! Boomie, you have a winner here.
For me, the "surprise" is how well this turned out! This is very unusual, and sure to please the adventurous palate! The instructions didn't say to finely chop the jalapneo, so I did it anyway. It made enough for 2 endives and serves 4-6 as an appetizer. Thanks, Boomette! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

Fox was able to fabricate our job the way we wanted it. We had lots of complicated details and they were executed beautifully. In addition to our kitchen and vanities, we went for the "dimensional stone" fireplace - it is now the focal point of our home and a conversation piece - I think there is a picture of some similiar to ours on their website. We'd use Fox again and are planning on using them when we remodel out pool house and outdoor bbq/bar area next year.

Sawtooth Winery 2012 Pinot Gris, Snake River Valley, $14
By Great Northwest Wine on August 23, 2013
Best Buy! Idaho has only recently begun to increase its production of Pinot Gris, which has become so popular in other Northwest regions. And this is a delicious example of why the Snake River Valley could prove to be a strong contendor with the bright white grape. This opens with aromas of fruit cocktail, lime zest and lychee, followed by flavors of pear, cherry and pineapple. It's all backed with bright acidity. Pair this with trout, salmon or scallops.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 720 cases
Alcohol: 13.5%

The state's Small Business Express Program, which has pumped more than $7 million into southeastern Connecticut's economy, reached a milestone over the past few weeks by helping fund its 1,000th company statewide.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, announced the milestone Monday while visiting Microboard Processing Inc. in Seymour, the thousandth company to get grant or loan assistance from the job-creation program. The program is available only to businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
"I have introduced legislation to continue funding this critical program so we can help even more employers grow jobs," Malloy said in a statement.
The 2-year-old Small Business Express Program, hatched during Malloy's special legislative jobs session in 2011, has been under attack recently after revelations in The Day Lazy Burrito restaurants in Mystic and East Lyme, which had been funded by the state, had closed down. The program had given Gilbertie's Restaurant LLC of Colchester nearly $150,000 to fund the eatery's expansion, despite the fact that owner Tyler Gilbertie of Waterford, according to court records, had $728,000 in debt and his company was facing bankruptcy.
Records supplied by the DECD show that 11 other Small Business Express funding recipients, including Coastal Consulting of Stonington, also have closed down.
But Steve MacKenzie, executive director of the Southeastern Connecticut Enterprise Region, said these failures have to be put into perspective. Financial institutions normally can tolerate delinquencies in the 3 percent to 4 percent range, he said, which is significantly above the Business Express failure rate of 1.2 percent.
"That's meeting an industry standard with riskier-by-nature loans," MacKenzie said.
A list of businesses statewide that have received Business Express loans or grants shows that nearly 70 companies in the region have benefitted - from a construction company to a paintball park and from manufacturing to dance instruction. The DECD estimated about 700 jobs had been created or retained in southeastern Connecticut as a result of the program.
Statewide, the Malloy administration said about 3,600 jobs have been created and 10,400 jobs have been retained thanks to the Business Express program. Initially a two-year, $100 million program, it later was expanded to four years and $260 million.
"We definitely support the program and have from the beginning," MacKenzie said.
Dudley Molina, chief executive of the New London technology firm ePath Learning, said his company received a $50,000 low-interest loan and another $50,000 matching grant from the program, helping him develop a variety of new software products while hiring seven people.
"There's a great interest rate on grants," Molina joked, describing the funding-approval process as diligent. "I'd like to see more investments in this area in terms of software development. I think it's a great area to invest in."
Another Business Express funding recipient, chief executive Matt McCormack of QDiscovery - a technology firm formerly known as Quantum Discovery - said his business made a leap from three employees to 25, with a significant part of the growth - seven jobs - coming thanks to a state loan and matching grant totaling $200,000.
"It helps accelerate growth," McCormack said.

A pair of veteran financial services analysts at Canada's National Bank is gearing up to launch a hedge fund next year.
Hamilton Capital is the brainchild of Rob Wessel and Jennifer Mersereau, both late of National Bank's NBC Alternative Investments. The new fund is set to debut in February, seeded by National Bank.
Hamilton will focus on financial services. "The time is right for such a fund," Wessel told the National Post. "We will be specialists in a field of generalists."
Wessel said that the continuing credit crisis and ensuing "echo effect," as well as specifically Canadian circumstance, offer many opportunities for a new hedge fund.
"Financials are 25% of the TSX and of that, about 80% is in nine companies," Wessel said. "It's been fine over the last 20 years, but going forward more consideration may have to be given to that concentration."
The long/short fund will invest across 15 subsectors and choose stocks from a universe of more than 1,000 names. It will not use leverage.
To assist on their new venture, Wessel and Mersereau have hired a pair of analysts, Babak Assadi and Derek Smith, and has named three financial executives to its board of directors and advisory committee.

Video: HHS still has no idea how many ObamaCare enrollees were previously uninsured
posted at 10:21 pm on April 10, 2014 by Mary Katharine Ham
"Toodles, chumps. Why, no, we still have no idea if this law is accomplishing the No. 1 thing we said it was going to accomplish. Imma take my pension and peace out."
This is a fitting farewell:
This week, in a fit of his standard intellectual honesty, President Obama asked why opponents of Obamacare are "so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance." Would that the administration had enough of an interest in that idea to even keep track.

Stunning 48 kilometre thread installation arrives at South London Gallery
Californian artist Pae White has just arrived at Peckham's South London Gallery with an installation made up of a 48 kilometre network of threads. Characterised by its transient nature, Pae's work is often constructed from fragile materials that are utilised en masse to build large-scale sculptural works. Previous installations have include gold-lined popcorn kernels suspended from transparent thread and tapestries of billowing smoke plumes.
In this instance Pae's threaded installation forms a dark cloud of criss-crossed black and purple across the gallery roof with individual threads trailing back to the wall where they spell out motivational super graphics, reading TIGER TIME and UNMATTERING, inspired by recent bouts of insomnia. It's a beautiful, immersive installation that's equally admirable for its conceptual motivations as for its complex construction. It's also free, and who doesn't love free things?

Hooray for naked gay wrestling - they are really into this, working their bodies against one another in a bid for dominance. Of course you know that neither are really in it for dominance, they just want an excuse to let off some steam and really relax together on the mat. Pleasure and Bob Cat are their names, and there's nothing to stop them from getting into it once they're done with the wrestling part of this scene. They slow down and start getting much more passionate before they really get into the hardcore part of things.

Creating replica copies to tolerate a certain number of failures is easy, but very expensive at cloud-scale.

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage.

Latoni Crowder rushed to Scranton from Harrisburg after a 3 a.m. call saying her oldest child and only son had been shot.
Her worst fears were realized when she arrived and was directed to the coroner's office, where she found her son, Rahsan Crowder, dead.
"He was on the stretcher," Ms. Crowder said. "He looked like he was sleeping, but he was so, so cold."
Mr. Crowder, 22, died at Geisinger Community Medical Center early Sunday from bullet wounds to his chest and right thigh, Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland said.
Police said the shooting stemmed from a verbal dispute that escalated into gunfire after a party near Vine Street and Madison Avenue. Acting Police Chief Graziano said it is possible alcohol was involved. As of Tuesday, no arrest had been made. Chief Graziano police continue to review security camera footage, but no suspects have been identified.
Ms. Crowder can't believe her son, a polite, jovial young man who loved his sisters, family and sports, was gunned down.
"He was just trying to go to school and become something," she said. "He was in physical education, wanted to be a gym teacher. No one could believe it, because he wasn't confrontational."
Family friends of Mr. Crowder are raising money to help his family bury him.
Donation jars have been placed at Ice Cream Heaven & Bar-B-Que Cottage, 5890 Derry St., Harrisburg, said restaurant owner Jeanne Webster. Since the jars went out, the Websters have been able to give Ms. Crowder $150.
"She's getting ready to buy his outfit this weekend," said Catherine Webster, 20. "She has been extremely grateful; says she can't thank us enough."
Ms. Webster is Mrs. Webster's daughter and Rahsan Crowder's ex-girlfriend. The couple broke up two years ago, but remained close friends.
"I wish I could do more," Mrs. Webster said of the collection for Ms. Crowder. "I am trying to set up something online so she can bury Rahsan and not have to worry about finances. This is a time she should be grieving, and not have to worry about it."
Mr. Crowder will be buried on Monday at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, 1439 Market St. Harrisburg.
Mrs. Webster will keep the jars out for 30 days.
"If we have to do spaghetti dinners or fund-raisers on top of that, then that's what we'll have to do," Mrs. Webster said.

Monaco GP – A challenge for seventy years
Monaco GP – A challenge for seventy years
By: Ferrari S.p.A.
At the previous round of the championship in Barcelona, where Fernando Alonso produced yet another fantastic drive in his Ferrari F2012 to take second place, the majority of teams had introduced new packages to coincide with the first European race of the season. If some elements had failed to deliver a clear picture of their benefits, there was usually talk of waiting to see how they would perform in Canada. Had the designers and engineers forgotten that, before going to Montreal, the F1 circus stops off at its most famous venue in Monte Carlo? Not at all, it's just that the Monaco Grand Prix throws up such a unique technical challenge it simply does not fit into the overall picture of how the season is evolving. 'You have to set the car up quite differently for Monaco,' explains Scuderia Ferrari's Technical Director, Pat Fry. 'On the street circuit you don't attack all the corner entries as hard as you would on a normal circuit, because the barriers are so close to the track at the entry and exit. However, trying to get the right car balance is as difficult as at the other venues.'
The Monaco Grand Prix is older than the World Championship itself and in fact it celebrates its seventieth birthday this year. One element that has not changed in all that time is that the lap is short and very slow, the slowest on the calendar in fact. 'This means it is more about downforce and less about efficiency and engine power,'' continues Fry. 'You need as much downforce as possible and a car that behaves consistently.' Even if Monaco is unique, many of the updates introduced on the F2012 in Spain were aimed specifically at generating aerodynamic downforce and will therefore prove useful this weekend. 'As a result of a lot of work in the wind tunnel and on the track, we had a lot of updates including a different front wing, floor, turning vanes, brake ducts and a new rear wing. All in all, we're reasonably happy with the update we made, but obviously we've still got a long way to go and we have to keep on working at a similar rate. In fact, we will have a few more small updates this weekend to add a bit more downforce to the car and, as usual this season, it will be interesting to see how each car uses its tyres.'
It is true that tyre behaviour has been the single most influential factor on the evolution of the five races so far this year and Monaco's unique characteristics will not make this weekend's race immune to that. 'We have seen that just a small change in track temperature can have a large effect on tyre performance,' maintains the English engineer. 'And apart from this sensitivity to temperature, they are also quite sensitive to the way the drivers use them. In a race where three pit stops would be considered the norm, if the driver is very very careful on the rear tyres, you might be able to keep them in good enough shape to do just two stops. But if you push hard on the tyres they degrade and a driver can damage them a little bit by pushing. So, when you are fighting in traffic, you take more out of the tyres than you would do if you're running in clean air.' Given that Monaco is synonymous with traffic, whether or not a race is taking place, finding that elusive clean air is the main challenge for the strategists. 'Monaco is a short lap, so your thinking time is reduced,' says Fry turning to the subject of race planning. 'While you look at all the usual factors such as tyres degradation, you have to be very aware of trying to keep the drivers out of traffic so as to try and give them a clear run. So if you are starting from the mid-field it's always a challenge, therefore starting at the front of the grid makes the job a little bit easier.'
After two pairs of back-to-back races to kick start the season, we are now back in the classic routine of a race every fortnight all the way through to the Germany-Hungary double-header at the end of July. Therefore, while for Fry and the team the immediate focus is on Monaco, the work never stops on developing the car for each coming race. 'In the medium term we are constantly driving to bring in updates, as indeed is the case for all teams,' reveals Fry. 'For Canada, we will have a different rear wing and front wing package, which will deliver a slightly different downforce level for this circuit. Work on the exhaust system is ongoing and we have new versions to test. Having learned a lot at the start of the year, we were able to address some of our problems at the Mugello test prior to the Spanish GP and I think now we have a good understanding of our car, trying to add performance to it in a constant drive that will go all the way through to the final race.'
As for this weekend, on the streets of the Principality, Fry believes that much of the improvement in lap times over the weekend comes from having good trouble free practice sessions, which allows the drivers to reacquaint themselves with the idiosyncrasies of the circuit, gaining confidence with each passing lap. Both the Scuderia's current drivers have proved they have that confidence. In fact, Fernando Alonso will be trying to record a third Monegasque win with a third different team, having won twice before in 2006 and 2007. The Spaniard also finished second last year and has twice started from pole position. As for Felipe Massa, he has two third places to his name, in 2007 and '08, the latter after he started from pole, while the following year, he set the race fastest lap. As for the Prancing Horse, the most famous team in the sport does not have the greatest record at the most famous race in the world, with a total of just eight wins since the championship began in 1950. In a topsy turvy season, could this be the weekend for Scuderia Ferrari to end a Monegasque drought that dates back to Michael Schumacher's win in 2001?

CAG reports prompt stronger Meghalaya assembly audit cell
Shillong: Upset over the damning CAG
report which showed legislators in poor light, Meghalaya
Assembly Speaker Charles Pyngrope on Thursday said the secretariat?s
audit cell would be strengthened and commerce lessons
imparted to the legislators.
Claiming that the assembly secretariat?s audit
division was not performing efficiently and this caused the
embarrassing CAG report, Pyngrope said a senior accounts
officer has been brought on deputation to the accounts
"We have also asked the state?s accountant general to
provide us with a senior audit officer," he said.
Putting the blame on his secretariat for the
anomalies, Pyngrope said, "had the audit wing of the
secretariat been efficient, such discrepancies would not have
happened. Before passing the bills, the same should have been
"In some cases, the audit branch did not reply to the
queries of the accountant general," he said.
Proposing to hold an interface between legislature and
audit officials, he said audit is an integral part of the
"The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Committee on
Public Undertakings and Committee on Estimates are the
financial panels of any assembly. For them to function in an
effective manner and take care of the CAG findings and
observations, they should have adequate audit knowledge," he
Any MLA who is a member of such committee and having
no prior knowledge about its functioning, should be trained
for it, the speaker observed.
"Such an interface will help them understand their
functioning better and also aid the effective functioning of
the legislature. The MLAs will understand the audit reports
better and the importance of the CAG," Pyngrope said.
This year's CAG report had stated that items worth
several lakhs were missing from the speaker's official
residence when Pyngrope's predecessor MM Danggo had vacated it
in 2008. The report had also said that a fictitious bill of Rs
11.81 lakh was claimed even though no such construction took
place at the speaker's residence.
Last year's CAG report had alleged that 16 Meghalaya
legislators faked travelling allowance bills and claimed Rs
1.67 crore during one of their trips to Paris, Rome and
Amsterdam in 2006.
The proposed interface would be held soon for which
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India would be invited,
the speaker said.
