With everything going on (regardless of where you stand), it seems there is just as much coverage of doping incycling as there is news of races. The bottom line for me is that until it's all sorted out, I will probably tune off a bit as you really don't know who is/isn't clean.
The bottom line is that it doesn't matter one bit to me personally. I still go out uand ride my bike with the same reckless abandon as before and dream of flying up hills like the .. er .. pros(?) do. What it is making me do is question every win or storied performance. Who's fault is that? Who cares?
I'll pass a cursory glance at race results. I might even go check out pro races that are close enough to me, but I will be back when the time is right and all the second shoes have dropped ..
Just curious what others think ..

As a defensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts last season, Brock saw a potential championship ring taken away by Drew Brees & Co. in Super Bowl XLIV.
RENTON — Motivation isn't hard to find in the NFL playoffs, but Raheem Brock has a little extra when it comes to the New Orleans Saints.
As a defensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts last season, Brock saw a potential championship ring taken away by Drew Brees & Co. in Super Bowl XLIV. He hasn't forgotten that loss heading into Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Saints at Qwest Field.
"I definitely would be happy about taking the defending Super Bowl champions out after they beat me in the Super Bowl last year," Brock said. "I still feel some type of weight about that."

These days opposing quarterbacks are feeling his weight. All 274 pounds.
In his first year with the Seahawks, Brock has a career-high nine sacks and completes one half of a surprisingly fearsome pass-rushing duo with Chris Clemons. The two have combined for 20 sacks, the NFL's third-highest total this season for a pair of defensive ends.
Only the New York Giants' Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora (23 combined sacks) and Brock's former Colts teammates Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis (21) have more.
"We actually had a little bet — me and Clemons against Dwight and Robert, back in Indy," Brock said with a smile. "They beat us by one."
Few might've guessed the Seahawks duo, each under-the-radar league veterans, would have been able to match production with the NFL's best. And few were better than Brock in the final weeks of the season.
The 32-year-old recorded six sacks in the past five games, including at least a half-sack in four of them. In a division-clinching win against St. Louis in the regular-season finale, Brock had a personal-best 2.5 sacks, including two on the Rams' final drive.
"Raheem was all over the place," Carroll said of his performance Sunday. "Not just in the passing game."
Being well-rounded has demanded more playing time, said Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, especially on first and second downs. Defensive schemes have been altered to utilize Brock's abilities as well.
"We changed some things defensively so it'd better fit his style, just because we thought we needed even more rush, and he's come through," said Bradley, who equates the soft-spoken Brock to a "quiet storm."
And Clemons also has been there to assist — whether it's trying to unlock pass protection or a new playbook.
Brock signed with Seattle as a free agent less than a week before the start of the regular season after spending essentially his entire career with the Colts. When he struggled with a new scheme, Clemons offered a hand.
"He's a great leader," Brock said. "He helped me out a lot trying to understand the defense."
Ultimately, all Brock wanted was a chance to shine. Pass-rushing options were limited in Indianapolis due to the prolific Freeney and Mathis. That chance has come in Seattle, and on Saturday, so might a little revenge.

Owain's Profile
About Owain
Having finished his time on British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme, Owain was accepted onto the Academy Programme in October 2012. He was selected for his debut world track championships in Belarus in February 2013 and put in an encouraging performance in the scratch race which saw him finish fifth overall against a strong field.
Owain became European champion in the team pursuit at the 2013 European Track Championship in Apeldoorn, riding with Steven Burke, Ed Clancy and Andy Tennant to take the Gold medal from Russia.
Owain went on to win the gold medal at the first round of the UCI Track World Cup Series in Manchester, again with Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Andy Tennant.
In the second round, Doull won the bronze medal in the team pursuit along with Steve Burke, Jon Dibben and Sam Harrison on the first day of competition and he backed that up the second day by winning the gold medal in the scratch race. Owain took a lap with King Lok Cheung and beat the Hong Kong rider to the line to take the victory.
In April 2014, Doull won the Triptyque des Monts et Chateaux stage race in Belgium riding with the Great Britain Olympic Academy road team. In June 2014 Doull was selected to represent Wales in the Commonwealth Games. Owain was crowned the 2014 European in the team pursuit.
In the second round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in London, Owain won two gold medals - one in the team pursuit and one in a blisteringly fast madison with fellow team mate Mark Christian.
At the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Paris, Owain and the team pursuit squad won the silver medal which was an excellent turnaround following their disappointing result of 8th place in 2014.
Doull went on to have a strong 2015 season on the road and track, winning two stages and the points jersey at Fleche du Sud before taking the points jersey and third overall at the Aviva Tour of Britain. On the track, Doull was part of the Great Britain team that retained the European team pursuit title in Grenchen, Switzerland.
In 2016, Owain won the silver medal with the team pursuit squad at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in London.

The information below is based on the Report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council (A/69/926–S/2015/409) issued on 5 June 2015.
Armed clashes between Government armed forces (Tatmadaw) and ethnic armed groups continued in Kachin, Northern Shan and, to a lesser extent, in Kayin State. By December, growing tensions between the Government and armed groups were negatively affecting progress towards a national ceasefire agreement. In October, four Karen armed groups, including the Karen National Liberation Army and the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army formed the Kawthoolei Armed Forces Alliance, allegedly in response to increased Tatmadaw operations.
A total of 357 cases of child recruitment and use by the Tatmadaw were reported through the Country Task Force-operated phone line, the forced labour complaint mechanism of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and community monitoring. At least 27 of the children, as young as 14 years of age, were newly recruited in 2014. Children were either enlisted owing to economic circumstances and family problems, or were deliberately tricked or forced into joining. The Government-led awareness campaign launched in November 2013 resulted in an increase in reports to the United Nations of child recruitment.
The United Nations received reports that children were deployed to the front line as combatants and in support roles and reported 15 such cases to the Tatmadaw, after which nine children were discharged and the others removed from the front line. A total of 389 boys and young males recruited as children were released from the Tatmadaw. Those released received reintegration assistance from the United Nations and its partners in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare.
Detention of children as "deserters" remained a concern. Of the 53 documented cases of children escaping from the Tatmadaw, 13 were arrested on charges of desertion, with cases increasing towards the end of the year. The United Nations also received a worrisome report of a 16-year-old boy who had allegedly committed suicide while associated with the Tatmadaw in a battalion in Kayah State.
In addition to children recruited into the formal ranks of the Tatmadaw, several incidences of informal association of children were recorded, including as porters and scouts. For example, a 12-year-old boy from Chin State was approached by a soldier and taken to eastern Shan State where he was forced to carry out camp management tasks for five months. In Rakhine State, two battalions have been using a 16-year-old boy for support duties one day per week under abusive work conditions since he was 11. Up to 50 children were used by the same battalions.
Children also continued to be recruited by armed groups, including through abductions. For example, the United Nations verified five reports of children associated with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). On 12 March, two girls, aged 15 and 16 years, were abducted by two KIA elements in Mansi Township. After four days in captivity, they were asked to join KIA in support roles. In another incident, a 12-year-old boy was allegedly used as a combatant by KIA and was injured during a firefight with the Tatmadaw in Namkhan. Owing to access issues and limited capacity, the United Nations was largely unable to monitor the presence of children in armed groups.
Three children were injured in Kachin and northern Shan States and one child was reportedly killed in crossfire. For example, on 29 July, two boys, aged 16 and 17 years, were injured in shelling during clashes between the Ta 'ang National Liberation Army and the Tatmadaw. According to a credible report, on 28 July, a 16-year-old boy was allegedly killed by the Tatmadaw because of his perceived association with the KIA in northern Shan State.
In the absence of a peace agreement, demining and marking explosive remnants of war remained impossible and children continued to be maimed and killed. For example, a 17-year-old boy stepped on a landmine in Kayin State and lost his right leg and injured his left leg seriously. In Mansi township, the KIA allegedly used civilians and internally displaced persons to clear areas of landmines. Of particular concern are landmines laid by the Tatmadaw and KIA in close proximity to schools in Kachin and northern Shan States.
The United Nations verified the rape of a 14-year-old mentally challenged girl in northern Shan State by a Tatmadaw private who was initially convicted by a military tribunal for neglecting his duty. Following pressure from civil society, the case was transferred to a civilian court, which sentenced the soldier to 13 years in prison for raping a minor.
The Tatmadaw continued to use a vacated school building in Bhamo, Kachin State. Also in Kachin, the Alen Bum boys' dormitory in Laiza was used by KIA-affiliated militia elements as a training facility during summer. After advocacy by the United Nations, KIA instructed the militia to vacate the school and committed itself in writing to prohibit its military use.
Humanitarian access to areas outside of Government control in Kachin and northern Shan States improved compared to the previous reporting period, but remained severely restricted, owing also to administrative delays. Twenty-eight cross-line missions provided assistance to approximately 30,000 persons.
Positive steps have been taken by the Government to advance the implementation of the action plan to end and prevent the recruitment and use of children. This included the regular discharge of children from the Tatmadaw, regular review meetings with the United Nations to expedite discharges, strengthened training efforts to sensitize Tatmadaw troops and, in September, the endorsement of a workplan for full implementation of the action plan. In January, the United Nations was granted monitoring access with 72-hour notice to the Border Guard Forces and experienced increased access to Tatmadaw facilities in 11 monitoring visits. The Government and ILO have also been actively cooperating to eliminate forced labour, including recruitment and use, by 2015. Despite progress made, children continue to be present in the Tatmadaw ranks. I urge the Government to take action to prevent recruitment and to exercise due diligence to ensure that children escaping from the Tatmadaw are not arrested as "deserters". Prevention of child recruitment, as well as oversight mechanisms at all stages of the recruitment process, need to be strengthened urgently.

KHL: Ringing in 2013

Canucks Total Player Charts
Thomas Drance
January 03 2013 04:17PM
Among nerdlinger types who value advanced stats in hockey, ice time is seen as perhaps the single most invaluable stat. Tom Awad, for example, has argued that ice-time is the best proxy we've got at the moment for determining overall player value.
If you're like me, and tend to think that NHL headcoaches, who are paid millions of dollars to maximize the effectiveness of their hockey teams, have a better overall grasp of which players are effective in particular roles than your average fan or hockey scribe; then understanding the way a player is deployed can tell us an awful lot about that individual's skillset and value.
In an effort to visualize this concept in an accessible way, Ben Wendorf came up with the "total player chart" in a must read NHLnumbers post in mid-December. On Tuesday he put together detailed charts for every Canucks player over the past five seasons (the image at the top of this post is the TPC for the Canucks last season), and I figured I'd share the images and caption them with some analysis for your reading pleasure.

Thomas Drance
January 02 2013 04:59PM
In discussing our "top Canucks story lines to watch for in 2013," we briefly discussed the likelihood of a salary cap that would fall significantly (by as much as 14%) by 2013-14 in a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). With the league reportedly standing firm on a 60 million dollar salary cap for the 2013/14 season, the upcoming cap-crunch should make for cap-wizard Laurence Gilman's "greatest test yet."
There could be some balm for the Canucks' cap-itch in the form on a "one time amnesty buyout" provision, but even so, balancing the need to ice a contending team, and retaining the services of Alex Edler, with the necessity of getting under a 60 million dollar cap in 2013/14 could prove to be a painful proposition.
Let's look at some of the team's options.
Canucks Story Lines to Watch for in 2013
Thomas Drance
January 01 2013 06:06PM
From the trade of beloved rookie Cody Hodgson, to the team's unceremonious first round exit at the hands of the eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, to the mystifying, frustrating NHL lockout - 2012 was a tough year for the Canucks and their fans. If you want to relive a bleak twelve months, Harrison Mooney broke it down exhaustively over at Pass it to Bulis on Tuesday morning.
Rather than looking back at the wasteland that was the Canucks' 2012, we figured we'd look ahead to what promises to be a very intriguing 2013. I've singled out five primary story lines that I anticipate we'll be following closely in the new year, and you can read all about it on the other side of the jump.

Educate to Accumulate
The right instruction and products can help stop children wasting their wealth
Wealthy families live in fear of the old adage that the first generation creates the wealth that the third generation wastes.
Many rich parents worry about how their children will manage the money that they will inherit. Some are concerned that it will inhibit ambition or result in family disputes.
Journal Report
See the complete Wealth Adviser Europe report.
The Bettencourts, the family owners of the L'Oréal Group, and Italy's Agnelli family, owners of car manufacturers Fiat, have both seen their inter-generational disputes played out in the media in recent years.
Financial advisers say that mistakes can be minimized and disputes avoided if children are given a good financial education and the right financial products are used to manage their wealth.
"Kids need a purpose in life," says Joline Godfrey, chief executive of Independent Means, a California-based company that provides financial education for wealthy young people. "Parents who say: 'My kids are set for life, they don't need to worry about money', are unintentionally denying their children an opportunity to explore money as a vehicle for achieving a purposeful life."
As the rich get richer, they stand to leave ever larger legacies to their offspring. A study by US wealth research specialist Prince & Associates found that most wealthy parents plan to leave at least 75% of their estates to their children, with the proportion increasing according to the size of the fortune.
"This is about how to move money successfully from one generation to the next and ensuring that the children understand the responsibility associated with the wealth," says Duncan MacIntyre, head of Coutts private office. "It's about children understanding the value of money."
Among the most common vehicles used to help this process are discretionary trusts. The trustees are the legal owners of assets held in the trust. They are responsible for running the trust for the beneficiaries. They can decide how much is paid out, how often payments are made and what conditions to impose on the recipients. However trustees are also responsible for declaring and paying tax on income received by the trust, which will also be subject to inheritance tax.
"There are limitations with regard to the nil rate band but the real beauty is that the trustees have control," says Stephen Jackson, senior client partner and financial planning specialist at Coutts. "There is the latent threat that if [the beneficiaries] don't comply with the parents requirements the next generation may be disinherited."
Bear trusts are less popular with wealthy families as the child can gain control of the money when they are 18 years old.
However, Family Limited Partnerships are one form of investment product that have recently come to the fore. These take the form of a limited partnership that hold assets on behalf of a family. Parents can give partnership interests to their children when they think the time is right. Family Limited Partnerships are also avoid the trust rules associated with inheritance tax.
The partnerships are covered by corporate law rather than trust law. They can be structured with a general partner, usually the parent, who has a 1% interest in the assets. The children will be the limited partners with a 99% in the assets but no management control.
Property investment is another option. A house can be bought when a child is young and the title transferred over at a certain age or cash is set aside so children can buy a property themselves perhaps in their university town.
No matter what products are chosen, the financial education of children is key to their success in managing wealth. Both Coutts and consultancy Scorpio Partnership, which has worked with UBS, provide financial education through tailored course for all family members regardless of age.
"Banks are missing a trick," says Sebastian Dovey, Scorpio's managing director.
"They pay lip service to next generation education programs and see them almost as a goodwill gesture so Johnny can be kept busy for a week while mum and dad go to the Maldives. "Our clients want to know how to manage wealth and to engage with wealth management professionals. They are thirsty for knowledge."
Scorpio provided a full curriculum for UBS that covers 10 topics, under three main themes: investment strategies, corporate finance and managing family wealth. Two levels of tuition are available for each topic, to cater for varying levels of knowledge. Each course lasts between two and three days. Numbers are limited to between 25 and 30 clients on each course.

Measure M projects
It is 14 years since the Measure M school construction and modernization bond was approved by voters. In that time, the $150 million bond was leveraged to more than $330 million using a combination of funds from the State Office of Public School Construction, the Deferred Maintenance Fund, and interest earned. With those funds, the District built five new schools, numerous multi-purpose rooms, a high school science wing, classroom buildings, lunch shelters, computer labs, playground structures, new and renovated athletic facilities, renovated front offices, and performed major overall renovation at several schools. All 30 schools on the original list benefited from Measure M funding.
Thank you for the support of our students and the Measure M Bond which has now concluded. Below is a link to the book that details the major projects accomplished with the bond.
Hope to see you at an upcoming meeting!

Art lessons led 2016
Elementary Teacher of the Year
to seek career in education
Rochelle Moss, a fifth grade teacher at Cortez Elementary School in Chino, has been named the 2016 Elementary Teacher of the Year by the Associated Chino Teachers union.
A teacher for 16 years, she joined the Chino Valley Unified School District as a long term substitute in 1999 at E.J. Marshall Elementary School in Chino.

Although Moss did not attend school in the Chino Valley Unified School District, her children have attended Newman Elementary, Ramona Junior High, and Don Lugo High, all in Chino.
"While my children were attending Newman Elementary, a new program called Art in Action was started by parents in the District," she said. "I was a parent volunteer who taught the Art in Action lessons in my children's' classrooms. I enjoyed teaching the art lessons so much I decided to finish my education to be an elementary teacher."
"I love teaching children" Moss said. "It brings me great joy to see my students having fun while they are learning. I want to be a teacher who inspires and motivates my students, but most of the time I find they are really inspiring me."

Statement on Former Chino Valley Unified Board of Education
Member Lonnie Truett
May 13, 2016
Mr. Lonnie Truett began his service to Chino Valley Unified School District by serving on committees and being involved in the Ayala High School Booster Club. The Truett family dog, Buster, was Ayala's bulldog mascot for several years. Mr. Truett's presence on the sidelines of Ayala football games and the committee work gave him exposure to people who urged him to run for a seat on the Board of Education. He stood for election in 1999, won a seat and continued to serve through 2004. He served as clerk in 2000 and 2001, president in 2002, board member in 2003 and vice president in 2004. His service came at a time when enrollment was growing and a successful bond measure provided for five new schools to be built which complemented his background in construction.
Mr. Truett always made sure that children were first when dealing with tough issues before the Board. Throughout his years of service, Mr. Truett was dedicated to the betterment of Chino Valley Unified. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
Mr. Truett passed away May 12.
Chino Hills High student finalist in Music Center's scholarship, training program
Chino Hills High freshman Ria Aldachi, who is enrolled in Chino Valley Unified School District's virtual high school online program, has been named a Grand Prize Finalist in the Los Angeles Music Center's 28th annual Spotlight awards program.
Ria is one of 14 student artists from Southern California to receive the honor and a $5,000 scholarship. She was one of two students named a finalist in the ballet division. Other categories in the contest included acting, non-classical dance, classical voice, non-classical voice, classical instrumental, and jazz instrumental.
The finalists, who were selected by a panel of judges, will perform June 11 at the Spotlight Grand Finale Performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Approximately, 1,100 participants auditioned for Spotlight this year. In February, Ria was selected as one of the 111 semi-finalists from Southern California. Semi-finalists attended master classes with highly regarded artists, and were offered feedback on their performances. Each semi-finalist also received $300.
Numerous Spotlight participants have gone on to successful professional careers, according to the Los Angeles Music Center. Among those artists are pop recording singers Josh Groban and Adam Lambert; and Misty Copeland, who made history as the first African American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre.
Good job, Borba Elementary!
Borba Elementary School students raised $1,700 in two weeks in April to help purchase duffel bags that foster children can use to carry their belongings.
Foster youth are traditionally provided trash bags to carry their personal items when they are placed in a foster home or agency.
Representatives from Bienvenidos Foster Care Agency in Montclair plan to accept the donation at 9:00 a.m. Friday, May 20 at Borba Elementary in Chino. Representing the school in the donation ceremony will be members of Borba's Safe School Ambassadors, a student-run anti-bullying group.
For the fundraising effort, Borba partnered with Together We Rise, a local non-profit group that assists foster youth. Borba students and staff members also discussed the "Character Counts" trait of caring in April as part of the fundraising effort.

Each grade level participated by presenting the garden through songs and poetry. Earlier in the week, kindergarten through third grade students released earthworms, butterflies, ladybugs, and praying mantis in the garden.
Students and guests were amazed by two magnificent murals created by Ayala High art teacher, Sergio Robleto. The garden project was the vision and hard work of Eagle Canyon parent, Rebecca Sabatino, who was awarded a grant from the Inland Empire Utilities Agency.
The garden at Eagle Canyon will serve as a learning center for students to explore nature through a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach to education.
Great job, Don Lugo!
Congratulations to Don Lugo High for receiving a six-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges!

Resource centers successful
in aiding CVUSD families
More than 700 families were provided help from July 2015 to January 2016 through the HOPE Family Resource Centers located at schools throughout the Chino Valley Unified School District, according to a report provided earlier this year.
The five centers, which provide resources and referrals to Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) families in need, are located at the Chino Valley Adult School, Dickson and Walnut Avenue elementary schools in Chino; Alternative Education Center in Chino Hills, and Dickey Elementary School in Ontario.
The HOPE Resource Centers are the vision of CVUSD Superintendent Wayne M. Joseph who wanted to help families in need in the school district after realizing that many academic problems stem from issues children have at home. In February 2014, he established a HOPE Committee of local community leaders to address those issues, and in November of that year, the school district opened the five centers with $250,000 it had set aside for the project.
Recently the program was named a recipient of the Educational Excellence Award from the Association of California School Administrators, Region 12. The award will be presented April 18 in San Bernardino.
For information about the Resource Centers, call (909) 628-1201, ext. 8960 or 8964.

We want your feedback
The Chino Valley Unified School District serves a vital role in our community by providing quality education to local students. Our award-winning schools significantly outperform the County and state averages, and our teachers continue to be recognized as educators of the year on both County and state levels.
However, most of our local schools were literally built decades ago – with some built in the 1950s – and need basic health and safety improvements. We know that if we want to maintain a high-level of academic excellence for our students, we need to invest in our aging schools and technology, improve classrooms, and keep our children safe.
As we plan for the future of our schools, we need your input! Join the Community Conversation and let us know your priorities for local schools.
