Tom Girardi, former high-profile lawyer, sentenced to 7 years for fraud
Thomas Girardi, a former high-profile attorney who appeared on the reality-television show 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' was sentenced Tuesday to more than seven years in federal prison for embezzling tens of millions of dollars from his clients. He was best known for representing residents of Hinkley, California, during the 1990s in a lawsuit against Pacific Gas & Electric, which paid hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements over claims of contaminated groundwater. The case was later made famous by the 2000 film 'Erin Brockovich.'

Port coach moves to defuse Rioli row with Bulldogs
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has moved to defuse tensions with the Western Bulldogs amid continued fallout from the Willie Rioli case. Rioli returned to action on Saturday in a 76-point loss to Geelong after serving a one-match suspension for threatening opponents. The Power forward initially avoided sanction for threatening Bulldog Bailey Dale, before two other similar incidents in separate games surfaced and Rioli was banned. Port linked Rioli's abuse of Dale, via a social media message to a Dogs teammate, to what Power chairman David Koch called "cultural disrespect" during their round-eight fixture. Koch's accusation was rejected by Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge, who on Friday retorted: "Will he (Rioli) learn from it if his own club is enabling him by making excuses for him?" Port boss Hinkley, after his side's loss to Geelong, said his club's intention was to shine a light on Indigenous issues - not on any individual at the Bulldogs. "The club is on record: we're trying to make some change," Hinkley said. "It was certainly not to point the finger at any particular individual, but other than to say that, as a competition, we need to do better with lots of things in as far as Indigenous players go. "That's the point we're trying to make, certainly not lay blame on any individual." Asked if he would seek out Beveridge or the Bulldogs to clarify, Hinkley replied: "I am sure the clubs would have had some sort of conversation at some point and maybe they will have another one, I don't know. "It's not for Luke and Ken to sort out. I think this is a club discussion that needs to go on. "But again, I take you back to the start, what our club was trying to do is shine a light on something that still needs to get better, I think the competition and the AFL are clear on that. "The reality is, all we are trying to do is make sure the game is a better place for Indigenous players to play, where they feel like they want to play ... we just want to shine a light on what we have got to get better at still."

Port suffer 'short-term memory' loss, says Hinkley
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley reckons his players suffer "short-term memory loss". "Sometimes we forget what it is that is really critical to us," Hinkley said ahead of an acid test against Geelong at Adelaide Oval on Saturday. "We get a reminder (in a loss) and then we come out and play pretty consistent footy - that is the team we want to be and the team we need to be." The 13th-placed Power have struggled for consistent traction with a three-game winning run followed by consecutive losses entering the Cats game. And seventh-placed Geelong travel with fresh recent Adelaide Oval success. Coach Chris Scott's side pulverised the Power in an 84-point qualifying final belting last year and downed the Crows by 15 points in Gather Round last month. Geelong are on a four-game winning stretch in the SA capital, with seven victories from their past nine games at Adelaide Oval. "They have been in pretty good form, it was a pretty good game last week that I watched," Hinkley said, referring to the Cats' four-point home loss to GWS. "Absolutely our best is going to be needed. "We have seen them only a few weeks ago come over and have a win so they don't mind playing at Adelaide Oval, I think it's pretty similar to what they're used to playing on. "High-quality team, incredibly well coached and run, we know it's going to be a challenge." Port goalsneak Willie Rioli returns after a one-game ban for separately threatening three opponents. Logan Evans also returns for the Power with halfback Kane Farrell (knee) out for at least a month and Jed McEntee dropped. Geelong made two changes with Jack Henry and Lawson Humphrey replacing Ted Clohesy and Jhye Clark. Hinkley forecast a torrid tussle between two clubs on the rebound from narrow losses. And while his Power fell by five points to the Crows, Hinkley took some solace from their response to copping a 90-point flogging from the Western Bulldogs the week prior. "We look at the opportunities we had versus the result that we got (against Adelaide), clearly the result wasn't exactly what we wanted," he said. "But the brand of football we played was quite positive from the previous week. "We got further clarity on who we should be and how we should play like."
