Maine's highest court Thursday that school officials who prevented a transgender student from using the girls' bathroom violated state anti-discrimination laws.
In the first ruling of its kind, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court concluded that a transgender person should use the bathroom consistent with the gender with which they identified. The decision overturned a lower court's ruling which found that the school district acted within its discretion.
Fifth-grade student Nicole Maines, her family and the Maine Human Rights Commission filed a lawsuit in 2009 after school officials required Maines to use a staff bathroom.
"This is a momentous decision that marks a huge breakthrough for transgender young people," said Jennifer Levi, director of the Boston-based Transgender Rights Project for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, GLAD, after the court ruling on Thursday.
GLAD said the decision marks the first time that a state high court concluded that transgender people have the right to use the bathroom of their choice.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – They're popular, sleek and smooth, but may not be the best option for canning.
Many manufacturers recommend against using smooth cooktops for canning, said Vera Massey, University of Missouri nutrition and health education specialist.
Cooktop damage can occur when excessive heat reflects back down on the surface, she said. This is especially true if canners are too large. Damage can range from discoloration to cracked tops, she said.
Some manufacturer guidelines may allow canning on smooth tops, but scratching can occur if the aluminum canner is pulled or slides across the cooktop. If your stove warranty covers canning, use a flat-bottom pot. There are few of these available, Massey said, as most canner bottoms have some curvature.
Massey said another concern is that many cooktops have automatic shut-offs on their burners when the heat gets too excessive. Drops in heat and pressure may cause underprocessing, resulting in botulism and waste.
Be safe, rather than sorry, Massey said. Contact your stove manufacturer before making a decision to can and when possible, opt for conventional stovetops.

Perception is everything at a time where common-sense banking is much needed
What does it mean to be a business bank in 2016? To my mind, success requires a mindset that values relationships over products, that is socially conscious and engaged in the community in which it operates, and which understands that what people think and say you do - as opposed to what you say about yourself - is one of the biggest determinants of long-term sustainability.
For an industry that has been heavily focused on numbers, this is a fresh challenge - particularly because it can feel like innovation that is reshaping the industry is pulling in the opposite direction. Industry standards are evolving with new data technologies available, like blockchain, and consumers are also looking for more information, innovation and accessibility through mobile apps.
Yet in spite of this, I believe banking also has as much to do with humanities as it does sciences.
Furthermore as the number of things that a bank can do increases, a common-sense approach is needed to keep banking, focused and clear about what it can do really well.
That might sound aspirational - but in fact it's essential.
Otherwise your research and development has the potential to lead you away from customers.
At Ulster Bank, we keep ourselves grounded through two main strands - our support for the local business environment and early stage entrepreneurs, and through tailoring our products and service offerings to meet the changing nature of business.
For example, through the Entrepreneurial Spark hatchery, we're helping to provide the space and expertise needed to prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs - providing them with the tools and raw materials they need to build great businesses.
Our support isn't about looking for an immediate return - it's founded on a belief that a local business environment that is broad, strong and varied lifts all boats.
And I know that dealing with these exciting early stage businesses, who are very clear about what they expect from a bank, is exactly the kind of direct engagement and feedback that is needed.
We also seek to match innovation with practicality when it comes to our products, by being on the lookout for business trends that are shaping the local economy.
Invoice financing, for example, is an area that has room to grow in Northern Ireland.
Financial providers helping businesses to release working capital from unpaid invoices, enabling firms to smooth their cashflow and put in place plans for growth and investment is certainly positive for the overall environment.
But the suitability of any solution like this is based on a face-to-face meeting with customers, and getting under the skin and truly understanding their business.
So as 2016 progresses, and we deal with the challenges and opportunities ahead, we look forward to pressing on with our eyes firmly focused on our customers and their future needs with our feet firmly on the ground.

Arsenal Must Buy Big!April 21, 2008
In the past eight weeks Arsenal's season has crashed to earth harder than a ballet-dancing Philippe Senderos, and they have taken about as long to pick themselves up again.
Arsenal competed bravely for two trophies this season, but faltered at the wrong time. In being eliminated from the Champions League by Liverpool, and stuttering in the Premier League before being put out of their misery by Manchester United last weekend, they showed their lack of strength in depth and lack of experience.
The fatal blows were delivered by Fernando Torres and Cristiano Ronaldo, the season's two outstanding hitmen, both now reaching their peak at this crucial stage of the season.
Arsenal fans are wondering where their own executioner is.
There is not much that needs to be changed in North London, but for the first time is recent memory there have been murmurings among fans questioning the great man at their helm.
Arsenal are of course, victims of their own success, and not only this season. Last summer few fans expected them to challenge for the title; the pleasant surprise of seeing Arsenal set the season's pace before Christmas was quickly replaced with a sense of expectancy after Christmas. It is a problem Wenger has brought upon himself.
By winning trophies so regularly over more than a decade at the club, and by playing some of the finest football ever seen in Britain, Wenger has raised a generation of new Arsenal fans accustomed to success.
The same fans drawn to Arsenal by the trophies are the fans now grumbling under their breath about their manager; anyone who watched George Graham's teams grind out endless 1-0 scorelines twenty years ago will know better than to complain about Arsene's Arsenal.
While the neutrals and the purists can enjoy the style without worrying about the score, some corners of the Emirates are now making noises about a little less style and a little more success.
Wenger has long been the purest purist of them all. His dedication to playing entertaining and attacking football is legendary; in the wake of Arsenal's collapse this season he reiterated his commitment to winning "the right way."
This purism applies to matters on and off the pitch. Two years ago he labelled Chelsea's endless riches "financial doping," a way of undermining the fairness of the league; and throughout his career has steadfastly refused to compete financially with Europe's big clubs.
He has spent only occasionally, and usually on youngsters for the future. In the past Arsenal have not had the resources to compete financially but that is no longer the case.
Years of success under Wenger allowed Arsenal to make the expensive move to the Emirates, and spending was restricted for several years. Now the revenues from the two-year old Emirates Stadium are beginning to drip down; soon it will become a torrent.
Arsenal were named the fifth richest club in the world in the latest rankings by the accountants Deloitte; their turnover of £264.2m in their first season at the Emirates was a 50% increase from the year before.
The revenue from each home match tops £3m.
To put that in context, the club now make more money from the corporate boxes at the Emirates than they made from the whole of Highbury. As if that wasn't enough, Highbury is now being converted into luxury apartments which will eventually net the club over £100m.
So there is money available for Wenger to spend: the Managing Director, Keith Edelman, has publicly stated that there is over £70m for new players. It is unusual for a football club to publicly announce the amount they can spend on new players, for fear of driving up the price of any transfer targets.
Though the board have faith in Wenger, it seems they are keen to let the fans know that any decision not to spend is Wenger's decision alone. Wenger's commitment to nurturing young players and growing teams, as opposed to buying established stars, is a noble pursuit.
What better way to win than with players schooled in the club's distinctive style, moulded together through the youth teams, all while playing the most attractive football in Europe?
However, success brings pressure, and the hope of a trophy this season has brought the demand of one next year.
Arsenal fans love their manager, and the way he plays the game, but how many would dispute that if Wenger had spent the £20m plus on Fernando Torres last year (or a player of his calibre), they would now be preparing for a Champions League semi final rather than their summer holidays?
Wenger would dearly love to see his idealism triumph over the kind of pragmatism epitomised by Liverpool and Chelsea, but all fans want to win trophies, and Arsenal fans are no different. The point has come where Wenger must be realistic.
Arsenal were nearly good enough this season. They will be strong again next season, and their youngsters will be stronger for the experience of this season, but so will their rivals.
Their realistic challengers for next year's Premier League are all playing Champions League semi finals this week; and they will certainly improve their squads this summer.
Until Arsenal do the same, competing with the top European clubs to buy quality and experience, they will continue to fall short.
Second place, no matter how beautiful, is still second.

Strike One: Believe In The Beavers
LOS ANGELES—In a top-10 showdown between Pacific-12 Conference heavyweights, visiting Oregon State reaffirmed its status as the team to beat in the league, taking two of three in Westwood.
When senior shortstop Tyler Smith is on the field—as he was in the late innings Saturday and Sunday—the Beavers are a dangerous, complete team. Smith had missed the last three weeks with a hairline fracture in his hand, and OSU's defense suffered in his absence, leading to a series loss at San Diego last weekend. Smith entered as a defensive substitute Saturday and Sunday, sliding Andy Peterson from short to second, and the Beavers seemed to play with more confidence as soon as he stepped on the field.
"What's really been difficult, and we never want to use an excuse, but we haven't had Smitty for a couple of weeks," OSU coach Pat Casey said. "Then you're moving a second baseman to short, your third baseman to second, so you're a little out of whack, and we haven't defended the way we want to defend. The first 18, 19 games of the year, our defense was better than it's ever been. All of a sudden you lose your heart and soul—Conforto's our best hitter, but Smitty's our best player. He runs, he hits, he defends, he drives in runs. He couldn't swing the bat (this weekend), but I think he'll get cleared next week and be ready to go. I thought our guys played extremely well against a very good club."
Like UCLA, the Beavers are very deep on the mound, but what separated them this weekend was the experience and tenacity of their offense. While the young Bruins made repeated mistakes on the basepaths and struggled to produce quality at-bats in their losses Saturday and Sunday, Oregon State kept grinding out at-bats, hit situationally and kept the pressure on. Neither game was a blowout—OSU broke open a 2-0 game Saturday with three runs in the ninth, then took an early lead and never looked back in Sunday's 5-2 lead.
"I think they outlasted us, really," UCLA coach John Savage said. "Three pretty good ballgames, but I thought their experience and their toughness, they basically outlasted us. We showed our inexperience in some spots . . . You know, we've got to get better. It's a measuring stick.
"I saw a good club in Oregon State. Nothing really surprised me about Oregon State—they were what I thought they were. I thought that we played with them, but they were better at the end of the day. But it's April."
Oregon State has more physicality in the middle of the lineup than UCLA, but even when 3-4-5 hitters Michael Conforto, Dylan Davis and Danny Hayes went a combined 0-for-13 on Saturday, the Beavers still rapped out 10 hits and scored five runs against a good pitching staff. Senior Ryan Barnes set the tone out of the leadoff spot, singling twice and drawing two walks Saturday, then adding two more singles and a sacrifice bunt that led to a run Sunday. Oregon State ace Matt Boyd, sitting in the stands charting pitches Sunday, described Barnes perfectly, calling him "one of those Coach Casey Oregon State guys—he just finds a way." The Beavers are loaded with players like that, from Barnes and Peterson to Jake Rodriguez and Kavin Keyes.
"I think we always have guys like that," Casey said. "And I think those guys are always there, going and going, don't get a lot of the recognition. One thing we need to do is hit better in the middle of the order; we've scuffled there the last couple of weeks, but we've faced good arms."
Conforto and Davis did get their bats going Sunday, as Conforto reached safely in all four trips (singling twice and scoring twice), and Davis also reached four times (singling twice). When that duo is locked in, Oregon State is one of the most fearsome offensive teams in the West. But even when they scuffle, the Beavers have the experience and depth in the lineup to wear down opponents.
And the pitching staff is elite. Freshman righthander Andrew Moore showed a quality four-pitch mix Saturday, locating his 88-91 mph fastball down and at the corners. His 80-82 slider is an out pitch. On Sunday, junior lefthander Ben Wetzler turned in his best outing of the year, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings to pick up his first win. The Beavers built Wetzler up slowly this year while he worked his way back from a pulled muscle in his back, but now the reins are off. He didn't show the plus velocity he has flashed in the past, working mostly in the 85-88 range and bumping 90 early, but his fastball has good angle and he showed good feel for his 78-81 slider.
"I think (the key was) finally just getting ahead of guys," Wetzler said. "I've had a lot of short outings this year because I haven't been around the zone very much, walking a lot of guys. I've still got to cut down on that today."
Righthander Scott Schultz has emerged as a shut-down closer thanks to his competitiveness and the excellent sink on his 88-92 fastball. Taylor Starr worked in the 91-93 range Sunday, and the Beavers have reliable low-slot options from the left side (Max Engelbrecht) and the right (Brandon Jackson), giving hitters plenty of different looks. And lefthander Jace Fry, perhaps the best arm on the entire staff, is close to returning from Tommy John surgery.
"It's exciting to see how far we can take this team with the group of guys we have," Wetzler said. "Our bullpen's real deep. We've got a lot of arms coming out."
Strike Two: Campbell Scoop
Campbell has made steady strides since Greg Goff took over as head coach before the 2008 season. The Camels won a school-record 41 games last year, and they are on pace to cruise right past that win total this year, going 28-5 through eight weeks of play. They did not play the most rigorous nonconference schedule, but they have beaten East Carolina twice and Duke twice in midweek action. After sweeping Presbyterian this weekend, the Camels improved to 9-3 in the Big South and broke into the Baseball America Top 25 for the first time ever. The Camels have started to get used to winning—and it feels good.
"The food tastes a little better, the drinks taste a little better," said the gregarious Goff. "We had so many guys returning from last year's team. If you look at most of the clubs around the country that have had success, most of them are junior- and senior-laden teams, and we fall into that category. Especially now the way the bats are, if you have the experience, if you can play good defense and pitch, you've got a chance to win."
That simple formula has worked well for Campbell, which got three quality starts this weekend from senior righthander Ryan Mattes, junior lefty Hector Cedano and sophomore righty Heath Bowers. None of the three has overpowering stuff, but Mattes works down in the zone with an 85-87 fastball that bumps 88-90 early in games, pitching to contact with his solid three-pitch mix. The Camels turned five double plays behind him Friday. Cedano works in the 84-87 range with a cutter and a split-finger, and Bowers had outstanding sink on his 86-88 fastball, prompting the Camels to move him from the midweek role into the weekend rotation this weekend.
Campbell is a conservative Baptist school in tiny Buies Creek, N.C., and until this year the school's administration did not allow the Camels to play any games on Sundays. They still cannot play on Sundays at home, but this year they are able to play on Sundays on the road, which has helped Goff stretch his pitching staff. When they are at home, the Camels play three games in just over a 24-hour period, opening the series Friday and then playing a doubleheader Saturday. This week, they had to use sidearming closer Ryan Thompson for 4 2/3 innings in an 11-inning win Friday, but because they were on the road, he was able to come back to close the final game of the series Sunday.
"If we were at home with a doubleheader Saturday, he's done for the weekend," Goff said. "Now we're able to play on Sunday on the road, you can spread out your midweeks a little more. This is the first year we can play on Sunday at all, and you can tell the difference in our program. It just helps us tremendously with our pitching. Plus it's just a grind to play three nine-inning games in 24 hours."
Offensively, the Camels are built around team speed. Senior outfielder Ben McQuown leads the nation with 35 stolen bases in 37 attempts, helping the Camels rank among the national leaders in steals. Seven Camels have at least five stolen bases, and Goff said almost every player in the lineup has a green light to run most of the time.
"I like for our guys to play loose," Goff said. "We educate them which counts to run in. I want to play on a fearless field.
"I was a pitching coach for a number of years. When I became a head coach, I basically turned our offense into what I did not like as a pitching coach—guys who can run, push and drag. I feel like that levels the playing field as a mid-major team against those more talented teams. It gives you another opportunity to score instead of waiting for the three-run home run. So we recruit guys who are athletic."
There is plenty of excitement around Buies Creek about Campbell baseball, which just moved into new Jim Perry Ballpark this year. Goff said when the team bus arrived home from Presbyterian at 10 o'clock last night, there was a group of people waiting to welcome the team home from a winning weekend.
"I'm very thankful for the environment they've created here in Buies Creek—who'd have ever thought it?" Goff said. "I'm thankful to our administration for allowing us to build this facility, and to Jim Perry for stepping up and doing the naming rights. For us, it's perfect. It's nothing huge, it's just really nice—it's got some nice picnic areas between the seating and the dugouts where families can come and have a nice picnic. We're in Buies Creek, so we felt like that was important for us to get a fan base, to get families here, have an environment that's friendly for the kids to watch us play.
"Hopefully our guys will continue to make the alumni and the fans proud."
Strike Three: Golden Spikes Spotlight on Trea Turner
Trea Turner established himself as one of college baseball's most dynamic players as a freshman last year, hitting .336 and leading the nation with 57 stolen bases in 61 tries. There might not be a better catalyst in college baseball, but as a sophomore Turner has proven that he can also handle hitting in the No. 3 spot in North Carolina State's order. In just 24 games, he has already matched last season's home run total (five) and has boosted his slugging percentage from .459 to .723. He's hitting .436/.509/.723 with 28 RBIs, showing that there is much more to his game than speed.
So when Turner injured his ankle during N.C. State's first conference game against Clemson, the Wolfpack was losing its best run producer, not just its fastest player and its starting shortstop. A piece of bone chipped off Turner's ankle, producing a lot of swelling and sidelining him for most of the first three weekends of conference play. Without him, the 'Pack lost the Clemson series and was swept at Virginia.
Since Turner has returned to shortstop, the Wolfpack has gotten hot—and that's not a coincidence. N.C. State has won eight of its last nine games, including a series win against Maryland last weekend and a sweep of Virginia Tech this weekend. Turner had three hits and two RBIs out of the leadoff spot in Saturday's 13-4 win, then went 2-for-4 in the No. 3 hole Sunday, sparking a critical four-run eighth-inning rally with a leadoff single.
"There's no question, before he went out, he was involved in almost every part of our offense—he either began a rally, was in the middle of it or finished it," N.C. State coach Elliott Avent said. "He came back a lot quicker than we anticipated. It was a great job by the sports medicine program and Trea Turner, the toughness. It's made a big difference for our team. He's still not the basestealer he was, still not 100 percent, but having him back in the lineup is a big, big difference."
Speed was Turner's defining skill as a freshman, but he has just 11 stolen bases in 13 tries this year, and his ankle injury has limited his basestealing since he has returned to action. But he has emerged as a more dangerous hitter this year, filling a new role for the Wolfpack.
"Obviously he's got tremendous hand-eye coordination," Elliott Avent said. "He's got great balance at the plate, he's a great athlete. And he's got tremendous bat speed. Because of the bat speed and his balance, he doesn't chase a lot of pitches out of the zone."
Turner played third base as a freshman and then played second base last summer for Team USA, so he is playing shortstop this year for the first time since high school. He has handled the position well, and his ankle injury is affecting him less and less.
"When you go through what he went through, the big thing is, 'Am I 100 percent, can I make that quick step?' I think he's starting to trust that thing now," Avent said. "It's a whole different position as far as going to get the ball, he was getting so good right before the injury. My question was when he came back, would he pick up where he left off, and he pretty much has. He made a couple big time plays this weekend; he's playing pretty good defense for us right now."
Turner also has had a major impact on N.C. State's clubhouse. Avent said Turner's calming presence reminds him of the way Troy Tulowitzki affected the clubhouse on the 2004 USA Baseball collegiate national team, for whom Avent served as an assistant.
"The guy's a winner," Avent said. "He's a winner in everything he does. He's a good teammate, keeps the clubhouse loose. He's not just a good baseball player—he's a great clubhouse guy."

* Prices may differ from that shown
This is a fantastic compact product which is deal for use at home. Its a sturdy piece of kit whallows you to scan, copy and print all in one. The machine itself is solid, looks good and whats more is very compact.
Not being very technically savy I was alittle anxious about setting up a new printer. But I found this printer really easy to set up, and comes with everything you need including a USB cable. It comes with all the instructions you need to set up the printer. You can print from anywhere in your home with the use of WIFI which is perfect if you want the printer set up in a seperate room from where your working. The printer allows you to connect to your computer, laptop or tablet - which we have all three connected and it works perfectly without the need to readjust settings etc. Printing written documents or small photos where fantastic quality.
Ive read it also supports AppleAir time - Although we havent used this yet, if its anyhting like the ease of the other mediums then im sure this will also be really easy to set up and use.
Downside - The printer cartridges are a little expensive, but they do last a very long time. Printing photos in large format can cause the picture to go a little grainy but this also depends upon the quality of the photo youre printing from.
With both of us working from home we wanted a device which could handle the work load and this is certainly something you can rely on. We're extremely happy with our purchase.
My old printer decided to choose the start of school, when I need it most, to decide it had enough and died. I was as you can imagine frustrated, and not having access to a great deal of money, needed a cheap and reliable option. I also required it to be compact to fit on my shelves. I thought I was asking a lot.
I browsed online but could not decide. So I went out to PC World, and was looking at the bottom end options when this printer caught my eye. It cost £49.99 and came with a set of inks one black and one colour. The printer takes PG-540 and CL-541 inks. You have a choice of two colours white or black. I opted for the black. They are gloss finish and look very sleek.
The quality was evident straight off, the casing was sturdy unlike the other printers in this price range, I opened up the scanner and the hinges seemed strong and the lid wasn't wobbly like I have found on other all-in-one printers. It is Wi-Fi which is a fantastic bonus. The Wi-Fi was simple to setup, although it isn't plug and play. You need to connect your pc to the printer and use and install disc which is all self-explanatory, although does take a bit of time, but very simple. This is a Wi-Fi 'n' CERTIFIED printer. It is a two ink cartridge printer but for me that is fine.
I have found the inks rather expensive at around £25.00-£30.00 to replace both, but saying that they do last longer than my old HP printer inks. You can also purchase larger inks at small additional charge of around £5.00-£10.00 but I have never tried these so am unable to comment. The ink cartridges are incredibly easy to insert and replace, simply open the front panel and slot them in. The print quality is excellent, the print speed being 9.2 ipm mono & 5.0 ipm colour, not that I use it for photos very often. Because this printer is a pixma the print quality is great. The photo prints are good, 10 x 15 cm (4" x 6") photo printed in approximately 44 seconds, with a resolution of 4800 dpi. I have had absolutely fantastic results from this printer. The printer is also surprising quiet when printing too.
You are also able to capture and print stills from movies; however I have not used this facility.
This printer has the added facility of printing direct from memory or flash card or scan to them, which can save lots of time.
There is the added ability of the Canon MP Navigator EX software so that you are able to convert hard copy documents to searchable PDFs and also add a password.
The scanner is in the usual place on top and you simple lift the lid access it. Scanning quality is excellent, 1200 x 2400 dpi. It scans exceptionally fast and I was extremely impressed with the quality.
The cord is about three metres long, which I personally would have prefered to have been longer for convenience. The wire is simply plugged into back. The paper is inserted in the front at the bottom; pull down front panel and pull out the clip to place paper on. The instructions are extremely clear and straight forward.
The printer is compatible with XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Mac os10. However it has no blue-tooth facility or Ethernet connection and has no memory card slot, but you can print from a smart phone, which is a useful option.
Overall this has been one of the best printers I have purchased and have had absolutely no complaints so far. The printer is fantastic value for money, this printer is suitable for both family use and for students, and I would highly recommend it.

Possibly the finest piece Levi's Vintage Clothing have produced in the last 5 years, I first laid eyes on this number during the Levi's Spring Summer Preview event and have been obsessed ever since. Hopefully these shots will give you some idea of just how beautiful the fabric and cut really is. Always wary of anything pre-faded or 'aged', it does what every great repro should – make you look twice. Initially this seemed like an archive piece ready to be transformed into an LVC special, part of the 'Miner's Story', haggard in all the right places. Deep blue squares remain true in some areas, barely visible in others. Buttons rusted, pleats pulled as if from wear, carefully placed nicks here and there…ok, I'm getting a bit poetic on this, the point is this 1878 Triple Pleat Jacket is something very special. Get to know it in our gallery and make it yours over here.

"I WENT to stand up, only to find the tip of her sabre at my throat, and I realised I was in love."
Those are the words of 27-year-old Richard Hill, on meeting his girlfriend Nichola Middleton-Stewart at university. Welcome to the romantic, dangerous, swashbuckling world of fencing.
Mr Hill, who now practises with the Abingdon Fencing Club, was a second year student at Bath University, chairman of its fencing club, and testing out the new recruits.
He said: "She picked up the épée, so I did the same. We started fencing as normal, but I quickly realised she was better than me. I went for a hit and she countered back at me. I lost my footing and fell to the floor. "I thought that I was it, so I went to stand up, only to find the tip of her sabre at my throat."
Mr Hill started fencing at university when he was 19, spurred on by a childhood swashbuckling with sticks in the back garden.
He joined Abingdon Fencing Club when he and Miss Middleton-Stewart moved a year ago.
Fencing is swordplay, essentially, with three different sections fought with different swords.
A foil is a light training weapon, whose target is the trunk of the body: points are scored in the sport by hitting your opponent with the tip of the sword.
An épée is heavier and more closely aligned to a dueling sword, but points are scored in the same way.
A sabre is a very light variation on a cavalry sword, and points are scored by hitting your opponent with the blade.
Abingdon Fencing Club chairman Andrew Banks describes it as "a bit like high-speed chess".
"You are trying to maneuvre your opponent into a position where you can hit them," he explained. "It is not just swashbuckling.
There is a lot of discipline and control involved. You have to be quite safe, fit and balanced."
Before the Olympics the club had one or two requests a month, but it is now receiving two or three requests a week to join the junior section.

Baylor among Gaston's recommendations
Baylor among Gaston's recommendations
"I've given a few names," said Gaston, who is retiring from managing at the end of the season. "But a lot of the names I give are because people come to me. They come to me and I just pass it along sometimes. That's what a lot of it has been."
One person that Gaston has suggested is Rockies hitting coach Don Baylor. On Thursday, a report on SI.com indicated that Colorado has granted permission for the Blue Jays to conduct an interview with Baylor.
Gaston was pleased to hear that Baylor was being considered.
"I think Don deserves an interview and another chance," Gaston said. "Don was a good player. He's a hitting coach also, and he's managed before. You guys who have seen him play and know him a little bit, you know what kind of player he was and what kind of guy he is.
"He does bring a presence when he walks in the room. I think it'd be good for him [to interview], whether he gets it or not. I'm happy to hear they are going to consider him and take a look at him. That's good."
Baylor managed the Rockies from 1993-98 and also served as the Cubs' skipper from 2000-02. Gaston would not say whether he mentioned Baylor's name to the Blue Jays on his own, or if the Rockies' hitting coach came to him.
Gaston said one name he floated to the Jays' brass is Juan Samuel, who worked as an interim manager for the Orioles earlier this year prior to Baltimore's hiring of Buck Showalter. Beyond Samuel, Gaston would not go into detail about the names he has discussed with Anthopoulos.
"I don't want to mention names," Gaston said. "Some of the guys, they're qualified for it."
Two internal candidates for the Blue Jays are third-base coach Brian Butterfield and bench coach Nick Leyva. Other names that have been linked to Toronto's search have been Yankees third-base coach Rob Thomson and former big league managers Bob Melvin and Eric Wedge.
"Really, I don't know what sort of manager you need here," Gaston said. "I don't know what kind of team they're going to have here next year, because there's a lot of unanswered questions as far as free agency and adding some people.
"So I don't know. Are you looking to win next year, or are you looking to win two years or three years from now? I think you'd have to get somebody that's experienced."

FTR 2011 write-up and awards presentation
January 30, 2011 § 5 Comments
Some of what is written below is potentially true. All errors, omissions, exaggerations, and falsifications become the property of the finder.
Pass the cyclonite, please
We sat there in the living room, awash in panic, anxiety, and the hormonal flood that comes from having suddenly assaulted our stomachs with the lard count of twelve delicious sausages, a plate of tasty bacon, half a loaf of a bread sopped in the Jaegers' famous French toast dip, and a scalding cup of coffee. This was the briefing room of Dave Jaeger's FTR, otherwise known as Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger's bedroom, where seven of the day's nineteen participants were hurriedly stripping, dashing into the bathroom, clogging the plumbing, and dashing back out to put on their cycling clothes. If you've ever wondered what a group of near-50-ish naked men looks like prancing around in a small bedroom together, you have problems. Plus, I can tell you that it isn't very pretty.
The key characteristic of the morning was that it was flat fucking cold. Taking 43 degrees and subtracting 10 degrees for the wind chill, it meant that everyone was digging around in their duffel bags trying to find the leg warmers they'd left at home because the forecast said the high was going to be 63.
"Yeah, it's going to be 63," Jeff said with a laugh. "At 11 o'clock. So you'll only have to freeze your balls off for about three hours." Jeff had brought a plastic windbreaker, arm warmers, and leg warmers.
I, on the other hand, had eschewed the bulky choice of extra clothing in favor of an embrocation produced by a company called Mad Alchemy. I'd used it the day before for the first time, just a very slight amount on my legs, and it had heated them up for the entire 2-hour ride.
"Wanna try some of this?" I asked my semi-nude bedroom mates.
"Oh, hell yeah. Gimme some of that," they more or less said in unison, scuffling to be the first to dip their fingers into the tawny red gel.
GFT DS Dave J. looked in. "What the fuck are you guys doing?"
"We're putting on embrocation to keep our legs warm. Like the pros in Europe. That's how they ride Paris-Roubaix without leg warmers."
"Listen up, dumbshits. Don't ever try new stuff on race day. What happens when you get an hour into the ride and find out you're allergic to that crap, and you break out in hives? There ain't no sag on this ride, remember?"
By this time everyone was ignoring him as hard as they could, and really ignoring the label on the Mad Alchemy tub that listed the active ingredient "rapeseed oil." I don't know what rapeseed is, but it sounds pretty hard core, so to speak.
MMX, whose motto is, "If the bottle says 'take one' always take six" was smearing on the Mad Alchemy like icing on a birthday cake. Bull, ever the competitor, saw how much MMX was using and doubled the application. SternO, who actually uses embrocation, carefully applied a very modest amount. The other nitwits smeared it on like putty.
This stuff is great man my legs are hot
When we rolled out of the driveway, the cold morning air hit us hard. Happily, those of us who'd been pro enough and smart enough to ignore Jaeger had toasty, pre-warmed legs which seemed to get warmer with every pedal stroke. Wind, schmind.
The only person having issues was MMX, who fidgeted and rotated around on his saddle in obvious discomfort. "You okay? You're not cold, are you?" I asked.
"Nah, but I'm ah, warm in the wrong place."
"What do you mean?"
MMX pointed at his crotch. Just before rolling out he'd dashed into the bathroom and grabbed his plumbing with the mitt he'd used to smear on the heat cream. He now had a fearsome case of hot dick, and since the embrocation is gradually absorbed by the skin over several hours, things were literally just heating up. Of course he couldn't reach into his shorts and readjust his package because that would just smear more embrocation around the danger zone. All he could do was fidget, kind of like you'd do if someone made you set your balls on a hot skillet.
"How long does this shit last?" he asked.
"Well, I was talking to Patrick Brady about it yesterday, and he said that it will keep you warm for eight hours, no problem."
Fillmore was a worthless president
After half an hour we hit the first small climb, with MMX and his fiery junk driving us to the top until JK sprang out from the back and summited far ahead of everyone else. We descended and began the short climb that screamingly descends to the city limit sign at Fillmore, for which there is a mad dash for the line.
I rode up next to G3, who was doing the FTR for the first time, and told him that whatever happened, he'd better not get separated on the descent. There's a 3-mile run in on the flats to the city limit sign, and even if you're just five or six bike lengths off on the downhill, you'll never catch back on once the lead group hits the flats. We bombed the descent, and Alex, a young pro who rides for Team Type 1, came unhitched, wrongly figuring that he'd just catch back on at the bottom. He never did.
Harry turned on the flatback gas and started a whipping rotation with MMX, JK, G3, and Bull. With about half a mile to go a second group consisting of Napoleon, Hegg, DJ, and several others bridged up. The big, fat, green sprint sign sat in plain view and Napoleon attacked, smashed the group, and shelled himself out of his own breakaway. MMX took a huge pull, and JK found himself on the front and not at all displeased as he took out the big paddle and prepared to deliver a spanking.
He jumped, followed by Harry, with me locked on Harry's wheel. The center line had these giant divots spaced at ten foot intervals so that if you hit one of them at speed you were going down. I charged Harry on the left and he eased me right up against the divots. I hit the gas again and shot clear, raising my arms in a victory salute to myself. Harry and JK rolled up after a while, as the finishing gap was big enough to park a semi in. Both looked sour. "I let you win," Harry said. "Yeah, me too," said JK, who had been even farther back than Harry. "I didn't want to push you over the center line."
What happens when Harry doesn't let you win
The next section of highway was fast and long and tailwind. SternO, the next oldest participant after Gil at 60 years old, took a big gnarly pull up the long incline. Bull hit the front and kept the pace high. MMX and his hot balls continued the whipping pace he'd been setting all morning. Before long we reached the second sprint point at Santa Paula, which Alex took without even trying.
After meandering through Santa Paula we began the medium climb that would take us into Ojai. JK launched early, followed by DJ and Alex. I sat in the back, reasoning that I was going to need everything I had when we hit the climb to Casitas Lake in another half hour. MMX went to the front to organize the chase, but Napoleon elbowed him aside and set a phenomenal tempo all the way up the climb, such that by the time we crested we were not far at all from Jaeger and Alex.
Harry unleashed on the downhill, reeling in the two breakaways. JK was so far off the front that we couldn't even see him on the long straight stretches, but with monster pull after monster pull by Harry, MMX, Bull, Alex, and Napoleon, we reeled him in just before the twisting descent into Ojai. We screamed down to the bottom, paused for a minute, and then I launched with Alex. We were quickly brought back, just in time for the little green city limit sign in Ojai.
I sat up and Harry hit the turbo, surprising everyone as it was still 600 or 700 meters to the line. They belatedly organized a chase, with Bull screaming through for the win…almost. Harry's hand shot up at the sign, pipping Bull by the width of a tire.
My group, which rolled into Ojai several seconds behind the sprint group and with room for at least twelve semis, was bisected by an Elmo in a POS rusted out pickup who pulled out in front of us making a left turn onto the highway. As he piloted his craft to port, the giant plywood dresser in the bed of the pickup, which was filled with rags, dirty underwear, dirty magazines, tools, and credit card bills came flying out of the truck and smashing down into the middle of the road.
Like any good redneck who's carting around crap from one mobile home to the next, he casually looked out the window, saw the massive wreckage, and just kept on driving. Welcome to Ojai, about as far from LA County as you can get without hardly leaving it.
Dialing up the heat
By now everyone was warmed up, the sun was doing its job, and it was another gorgeous day in sunny Ventura County, served up as ordered by DJ for the FTR. We stopped at the Chevron to void and load up, and several of my bedroom mates sidled up to me, twitching and looking kind of funny.
"Say, Seth,have you ever used this Mad Alchemy stuff before?" they asked.
"Yeah. Once."
"Well, man, like, um, how long does it last?" Awkward twist and shuffle.
"About eight or nine hours. Why?"
"My fucking legs are on fire. Feels like they've been dipped in hot chicken grease."
"It should wear off by tonight. Just be sure not to touch your pecker when you pee."
We remounted, wended our way along the highway and turned onto the climb to Casitas Lake. I had bitter memories of this climb from last year, when, hanging onto JK, G$, and Jaeger's wheel for dear life, they had dumped me like so much refuse about a half kilometer to the summit. I had chased the entire rest of the way, catching them only after they'd stopped pedaling, just past the sprint for the Santa Barbara county line.
Evan D. sprang free past the lake, and JK dialed him into the cross hairs and slowly ramped up the pace. We passed him as our group dwindled to six, five, four, and then with the grenade blast of Alex coming unhitched, to three. JK pulled 80% of the way, with DJ doing monster efforts to keep the pace high and my confidence low.
They took turns looking back at me as I sucked wheel for all I was worth. A pull meant certain extermination. Wheel sucking meant almost certain extermination. What's a gassed hacker to do? After DJ's last hard pull, JK turned, saw me, and attacked again. I struggled to follow his acceleration, which kicked DJ out the back. This alone was sweet, because DJ had left me gasping and broken the year before.
JK paused, winded from his effort, and I jumped him. He latched on, waited until I faded, and countered. I held his wheel ever so tenuously as he took the KOM. We crested and as I rolled by him he said, "Hey, let's wait for Jaeger."
"Sure, I thought. In Santa Barbara." I dropped it into the 11 and hammered as hard as I could, forcing my good friend, my generous and kind host, the guy I like and respect above all others, to chase his guts out and suffer like a dog. I'm not sure how much he suffered, but he caught us and we drilled it all the way to the county line, fully aware that Harry and Co. weren't far behind.
DJ led out the sprint and JK accelerated hard, opening a gap as I tried to get his wheel. I finally got on top of the gear, but not soon enough nail him at the line. "Great sprint," he said with a smile. "But I beat you." I didn't bother to tell him that I'd let him have it.
Moments later Harry, Napoleon, and Hegg came flying by. Hegg had whipped up the chase throughout the descent, and they nearly reeled us in. We took a brief break and waited while the pack regrouped. My legs ached. Incipient cramps had begun in my left leg. I'd burned most of my matchbook. And we were only halfway through the ride.
I'm not waiting on a lady…I'm just waiting on a friend
FTR confirms a universal truth among cyclists: you have no friends. Once astride your mount it's combat, and the only meaningful outcome is the one in which you crush the other guy. We'd only had a couple of punctures, and coming out of Ventura I picked up a staple and flatted. Half the group waited. SternO, Jim B., Rod G., and the Long Beach contingent sprinted up the road.
Although it was a quick tire change with the aid of Harry, the others were long gone by the time I remounted. DJ started off the chain gang with a monster pull, followed by Harry, who had already towed the gang along the entire stretch of the 101 at 30+. Bull, MMX, JK…each guy in our crew pulled harder than the guy before, but we didn't see the others again until Santa Paula.
"Thanks for waiting," I said when we finally rejoined them.
"Oh, we were just cruising," they answered. I noticed that they were all lathered in sweat.
At this point the Ogre of Ventura County loomed. Balcom Canyon Road is a short, one-mile climb with 21-22% pitches for most of the way. Ordinarily it would be a beast. But coming at the 100-mile mark after a battering day in the saddle it is your worst nightmare. Added to the difficulty of the climb there is a 2-mile run in up the canyon before you hit the climb itself. The run in is uphill, of course, and straight into a howling headwind that blows down out of the canyon.
My strategy was simple. There was no way I could beat JK in a one-on-one race to the top. He's lighter, he's stronger, he's faster, he's better. However, with a well-timed attack after a group roadside pee, I reasoned that a strong breakaway partner like MMX could get me to the base of the hill with enough time to take the KOM.
That pose is called Arching Cat with Shattered Spine
MMX's motor only gets stronger the longer he rides. We hit the gas and held a hard, steady tempo until we picked up LRon, who had soft pedaled ahead of those who had stopped to pee. LRon jumped into our rotation, and at the turn into the canyon we overtook the group containing Jim B., he-who-always-goes-on-ahead, and SternO, he-who-everyone-waited-for-when-he-flatted-in-Ventura-but-who-charged-on-ahead-when-I-punctured-shortly-thereafter.
The battering headwind in the run-up hit us like a wall, but we forged ahead, slightly upping the pace and increasing our gap. A couple of minutes before we hit the canyon proper, I fell off my bike. The cramps were so sudden and so complete that I couldn't even writhe. Instead, I leaned up against the guardrail, waiting for the most awful, horrific moment of my cycling existence…and I'm not talking about getting up Balcom Canyon with fully cramped quads, hams, and calves.
I grimaced, then wrested control of my face, legs sticking out unbent as rulers, and did my best May-I-please-have-a-cigarette-now-that-we're-done-with-sex pose, trying to look as nonchalant and natural as I could, as if leaning against a hard piece of aluminum on a sweltering day at the bottom of a canyon in a howling headwind with rigor mortis legs was exactly where I had planned to be all along.
And then came the pain. JK's group rounded the bend and the beams from their smiling faces were bright enough, and their malice-filled grins were cruel enough to easily slice through even my toughened exterior. All of their whining and complaining at having been dumped after the pee stop evaporated in a giant Kum-ba-ya of catcalls and mock sympathy.
"Which pilates pose is that?" hollered Napoleon.
"Good job holding up that guardrail!" snickered another.
And cruelest of all was DJ: "Anything I can do to help?"
I shouldered the abuse as they whizzed by, and they were soon followed by SternO's grupetto. John W. and finally LRon came up. LRon dismounted, clapped me on the back, and smiled. "You gonna be able to pedal?" he asked.
"No," I said. "But I don't see any other way of getting up this bastard."
The climb up the canyon was forgettable, except for the complete cramping that I pedaled through with each stroke. With my DFL finish, I reached the summit to a small knot of happy faces. "Good job, Seth," someone piped up. Good job, indeed.
Home sweet home
Sixteen miles later we arrived at the Jaegers' home, where they had prepared a feast of sandwiches, cold water, and beer for those who wanted it. Whatever humiliation I'd endured on the guardrail was but a tune-up for the barrage of laughter and whoops that kicked in once the beer began to flow.
G3 put his arm around me and thanked me. "You just gave me a lifetime's worth of funny memories," he said. "Thanks from the bottom of my heart."
A couple of hours later I was back home, thoroughly pleased with the results of the best day I've ever had on a bike, and already looking forward to FTR 2012.
FTR 2011 Awards, in no particular order
1. Victor, Champion, and Overall Destroyer of Egos (especially mine) Award: Jeff K., who won a sprint, took the KOM at Lake Casitas, the KOM at Balcom Canyon, and who let me win a sprint.
2. Guy Who Everyone Hopes Doesn't Lose Ten Pounds Award: MMX, who took second at Balcom, provided daylong horsepower, and whose fearless attack leading up to Balcom demonstrates his conviction to live by the words of Steve Prefontaine—"Most people race to see who's fastest. I race to see who's got the most guts." On FTR 2011, buddy, that was you.
3. Horse of the Day Award: Harold M., who won the Ojai Sprint, got 2nd at Fillmore, reeled in the break after the Santa Paula climb, almost caught the break before the sprint at Santa Barbara, pulled the entire group at 30+ for ten miles along the 101, did the lion's share of the work chasing the cheaters after Ventura, and still whipped most of the others up Balcom Canyon. Plus he let me win the sprint at Fillmore.
4. Best New FTR'er Award: Dan S., who took two second place sprint finishes, a fourth, and who spent more time at the front than most other riders, even after he'd pretty much hit the wall an hour or so before Balcom.
5. Guy Who Rode Through the Worst Pain Award: Rod G., who started cramping at the 66-mile mark, and gutted out the entire rest of the ride with nasty cramps.
6. Funniest FTR'er Award: Martin H., for his hilarious comments, his refusal to be the least bit intimidated by the ride, and his unforgettable crack about the pilates…not to mention his picture of Napoleon on a horse. Martin also spent a big chunk of the day on the point.
7. Godlike Icon Award: Steve H., who blazed up Balcom for third even though he tips the scales at 190+. A true monster in every way, and proof that they don't hand out Olympic gold medals just for good looks.
8. Redemption Award: Alex B., "The Kid," who came back after an epic FTR fail in 2009 to complete the ride, take the Santa Paula sprint, and ride tough from beginning to end.
9. Tough as Nails Award: Gil, who, at 65 years old, not only finished the ride in fine form but kicked my butt up Balcom and up the golf course.
10. I'm Not a Wussy Award: SternO, who proved what no one has ever seriously doubted, which is that he is tough as nails and broken glass. Plus, when he saw me flailing on Balcom, he didn't laugh. "I really felt sorry for you," he said, and he meant it.
11. It's Only a Bike Ride Award: LRon, for his selfless effort in our doomed breakaway, and for actually stopping at the guardrail. He's not just the best coach around, he's a great humanitarian, too.
12. Most Lashing Pull Award: Jim B., for his herculean pull towards the end of the ride that was so hard it almost shelled me off the back. Thank goodness he doesn't find his way to the front more often.
13. Fluffiest Saddle Award: G3, who hands-down had the cutest little orange puffball hanging from the back of his saddle. G3 also had the happiest demeanor, and of the first-timers did lots more time on the point than common sense should have dictated.
14. Best Perspective on Life Award: Doug P., who participated, enjoyed, but took the whole thing in stride, just happy to complete the ride without making it into a soap opera, unlike the writer of this blog.
15. Most Hopeless but Daring Attack Award: Evan D., for attacking Jeff K. on the climb to Casitas Lake. That took balls, son, but it looked like it might have cost a nut and a half, too.
16. Quietest Award: Gil's son Wyatt, who did the entire ride without saying anything and without even breaking a sweat. With legs like that, on your next FTR you'll be expected to be ladling out the pain soup.
17. Guy You Better Hope Doesn't Get Race Fit Award: John W., best descender, toughest rider, and guy who by all rights shouldn't have gotten past mile 70 but who nonetheless completed the whole damn ride in glorious style.
18. Guy Who Doesn't Need an Award Award: GFT DS Dave Jaeger. Thanks and words won't do it. You trolled the back to make sure no one got left behind, you hammered on the front to stamp your authority on the ride, you smiled from start to finish, and you've made each of our lives better and happier thanks to your selflessness.
19. People Who Made it All Possible Award: Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger, Lynn, Macey, and Carly. We're in your debt. Again. You're the best!
—Please note…this next part is NOT an award—
20. Clueless Bums Who Missed the Girl Scout Cookies Sign-Up Non-Award: In case you missed it, because it was hidden openly in the middle of the table between the beer and hot sauce on a giant white piece of paper with a pen next to it, there was a Girl Scout Cookies sign-up list. I was astounded to see that only a handful of you bums signed up. So the ride wasn't worth four bucks for a box of cookies to help the girls who made your freaking breakfast?
Of course the real explanation is that you were so whacked by the FTR and so famished, and so enamored of the good beer and good food, and having so much fun at regaling each other with Seth on the Guardrail and Seth the Pilates Instructor jokes that you just overlooked it. Get it? That's your excuse, bonehead, "I just overlooked it." Now that it's been pointed out, please contact DJ and order your danged cookies.

South Bay Form Report: The truth about Charon
January 24, 2011 Comments Off on South Bay Form Report: The truth about Charon
First time I ever saw Charon I thought, "Who is that guy? What's wrong with that crazy guy who doesn't know how to glue on a freaking tire?"
We were barreling into the turn before the finish line at Eldo, it must have been April 2008, and this Sho-Air guy a few wheels ahead of me rolled a tubular on his fancy carbon rims. He went down quicker and harder than a hooker on a thousand-dollar trick, bounced off the tarmac and stood there in the middle of the field with bikes whizzing by, dodging, swerving, cussing, and doing everything you couldn't imagine except slam into him, the stink from his melted carbon wheel spitting smoke and dust into the air and that rolled tire hanging off the busted rim like a twisted old dog's tongue lolling on the pavement.
That was Charon, he of the not-real-well-glued-on-tire, soon to be he-whose-tires-were-always-glued-on-so-hard-that-you'll-need-vicegrip-pliers-to-get-them-off.
I did a few more Eldos that year, and never saw him roll another tire. Actually, I never saw him much at all, except at the beginning of the race. No matter where I finished, he was always across the line so far ahead of me that to have really effectively congratulated him I would have needed to have sent him a letter or called him on his cell. Thing about Charon was that he was always smiling, always happy to meet people, always in a good mood.
Sure, he was happy. Sure, he was nice. Sure, everyone liked him. Sure, he was handsome. Sure, he was a rocket on a bike. None of that mattered to me, though: I saw through to the real Charon. And I'm going to introduce him to you here.
You pays your nickel and you takes your chance
If you will do me a favor, scroll down a few blog entries and you'll see one of my posts regarding "Who's Hot." It lists, down at the bottom, Dan G., who celebrated his first race yesterday with a win. See? I was right. It also lists, higher up, Charon S., and gives the inside tip: he's fully prepared and ready to rock. On Sunday at the Dominguez Hills crit put on by Chris Lotts and world-renowned California Bicycle Racing, 90+ knuckleheads showed up to blast around in a circle for an hour in the 30+ race.
I was one of them. Charon was one of the others. I finished in the churning, heaving, hopeless middle of the pack. Charon took fourth, and would have won if Bert G. hadn't decided to lead out the sprint by digging a pedal and launching four hundred feet into the air and onto the pavement head-first. 90 guys. Fourth place. Think it's easy? There's another one on February 20 where you can come out and show us how it's done.
Charon's placing wasn't just impressive because I labeled him an uber-hammer in my galactically-famous Form Report. It wasn't just impressive because he beat out 86 other idiots in a mad, high speed death scramble for a moldy snack and cheap bottle of wine. It was impressive because to get to the line he had to pick his way through an earlier mass pileup, hold his position with five laps to go, bull his way onto the right wheel in the closing lap, fight off the scavengers and jackals trying to edge him out for position in the sprint, avoid a death crash in the final turn, and do all of that without expending any more energy than absolutely necessary so that when it came time to uncork the champagne bottle, it would uncork with a vengeance. It was a risky, nasty business that required a big, fat, hairy nutsack about the size of a shotput.
Will the real Charon please stand up?
Of course he won't. That's because, like I said earlier, he's got a secret side. It's soft-spoken or utterly mute, it's hidden behind a smiling mask, and it never, ever grins. The only prisoners it ever takes are already dead. This is Charon the bike racer: dialed in and focused on winning, and in case you didn't notice, or didn't want to notice, or weren't smart enough to notice, it means he's intent on beating the snot out of the competition, all of it, including YOU.
What makes Charon the bike racer even scarier is that he doesn't ride dirty. No nasty moves (aside from the occasional poorly glued on tire), no cheap shots, nothing mean or sleazy or low. He rides fair and he beats you fair and whips your ass with class.
So those of you who know and love Charon the nice guy are asking, "Who the hell are you? How are you pretending to know Charon? He smacks you around in bike races like a boxer beating a legless chicken. Where do you get off with all this crap?"
Where I get off with all my crap
The answer, of course, is that I don't really know any of those things about Charon–except that he's the nicest guy in the peloton and he really did screw up that time by not gluing on his tire. I'm just speculating from afar, as I've never gotten close enough to him in a finish to see how he rides; he's just too damned fast. Mostly I'm guessing, because even old man bike racing is fast and hard and tough, and when you place that highly in a 90-man field with half the guys going for the win, you have to be hard and smart and quick and possess a big old hairy, gnarly pair.
So where I'm going is this, South Bay Cycling Prediction Number Two for the season: Charon is going to win a whole bunch of races this year. And just because he's smiling at you and giving you training advice and inspiring you with his positive attitude doesn't mean he isn't going to squash you like a bug when there's only a couple hundred meters to the bright white line.
The early years: the secret training life of Andy Coggan, Ph.D.
January 20, 2011 § 3 Comments
This all happened, if it happened at all, more than twenty-five years ago. My memory is not terribly reliable over that stretch of time, and my imagination sometimes has a way of making stories differ from the way that other people remember them. Still, I'd vouch for everything that follows except for the parts that are wrong. Hopefully someone in the great wide blogosphere will identify the errata and let me know. Not that I'd change anything, because it's such a good story.
When I was racing bikes as a student at the University of Texas in the mid-1980's, I went to a "Health Fair" being held at the UGL. There were various stops and you'd go around from station to station, testing various aspects of your health and fitness. The final station was an ergometer with a VO2 facemask. I think it was a Tunturi, with green lettering on the side and a giant flywheel in the front.
The guy standing at the ergometer was a fit-looking student with a clipboard. I think he had dark brown hair, medium build, and cyclist legs. He took down my name and phone number, I signed the waiver and did the test to failure. I weighed about 145 pounds and was 6'1″. He told me my VO2 max and sent me on my way.
The next day I got a call. "Hi. I'm the guy who did the VO2 max test yesterday. Your results weren't bad. Are you a cyclist?"
"Yes," I said. "Why?"
"I'm a grad student doing research on human physiology and wondered if you'd be interested in doing some testing at the lab."
I laughed, and politely declined. This was the mysterious Andy Coggins, the cyclist from the Midwest who had come to Texas to experiment on cyclists in his mad cycling lab. The tales had already grown into awful legends about how Coggins would approach cyclists, get them to agree to testing, and then put them through the most horrific workouts imaginable, followed by the occasional muscle biopsy to determine lactate levels. We heard that he was testing some carbohydrate replacement drink or other and that the tests measured the efficacy of the various products.
One of our buddies, Bob L., was a test subject and never failed to regale us with stories of twice weekly two-hour ride-to-failure sessions that were more painful and draining and crushing than any ride, ever. I knew enough to steer clear of the mad scientist's laboratory, even though one of my buddies from the Midwest, Jeff F., had this to say about Coggins: "He knows how to race a bike."
For someone who was so focused on cycling performance, we wondered why Andy never showed up on the group rides, and laughed at his conspicuous absence from the races. "Typical professor," we said. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
Occasionally we would see him out on Loop 360. Rumor had it that he did a single 60-mile workout a couple of times a week, and that was pretty much it. To say he was on the periphery of our consciousness is to overstate it. We only noticed that the more workouts Bob L. did with the mysterious scientist, the worse he raced.
In those days the biggest race of the year was the state road race. It was a 110-mile event usually held outside of San Antonio in the blistering heat. The contenders for the crown were a small cadre whom everyone knew: Mike Murray, Jerry Markee, Stan Blanton, Dean Buzbee, John Morstead, Mike Adams, Mark Switzer, Jeff Fields…these were the heads of state. I may have the year wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it was in 1985 that Coggins showed up to race. I was living in Colorado at the time, and got the race report second hand, the day after the race.
He was unknown as a racer, and only vaguely known at all–he was certainly no one that any of the big guns took any notice of whatsoever. Their familiarity with his racing ability never got much more intimate, however, because Coggins parted company with the field halfway through the race and no one ever saw him again. He motored to victory in the longest solo breakaway in the history of the race. He chewed up the field and spit it back out on the hot Texas tarmac, and to rub salt into the gaping wound, that was his first and last race in Texas that I ever heard of. Rumor had it that the only reason he even showed up was to test some theory about training that he'd concocted in the lab.
Two decades later I came across the name of Andrew Coggan, Ph.D., and made the connection–I'd had his name wrong all those years. Was that tour de force at the Texas state championships an early test of his theories about power and training? Or did he just want to kick everyone in the teeth before moving on to greener pastures?
Will we ever know?
Andy posted the following on the Google Wattage Forum, clarifying the finer points of the race itself:
"Thank you for that little trip down memory lane!
"I did not actually solo to victory, though – rather, I had to outsprint Stan Blanton after we first got away from Bob Lowe and two others with one lap to go, then dropped Scott Dickson at the start of the final, gradual climb to the finish line.
"My training prior to that race consisted mostly of a few months of commuting either to or from campus via Loop 360, which took ~1 h. On Sundays, I would do the Bee Caves/Mansfied Dam/Bull Creek/Loop 360 route, which took ~2 h. The only structure or intensity was imposed by my "must-catch-and-drop-any-cyclist-I-see" rule…I can still recall some really painful chases, when I'd see somebody up ahead of me in the afternoon heat, groan to myself, then suck it up and get on with
the required task.
"A week after the road race, I did the state TT, but those were the only two races I did while I lived in Austin.
"Anyway, thanks again for the Andy Warhol moment…if you or anybody else have pictures from those events, I'd love to see them."
Andy Coggan

This is for all you Venus flyers? Right now Tower has the GP Venus 40 ARF on sale right now for 139:99 I have a NIB B50-10L 5.2 to 1 and HM 70-3P and several 16 zapped RC 2400 packs. Since the Venus is such a good price and I don't have a plane for my motor how do you think it will work on a 14X10 APC E Prop and 16 Zapped RC 2400's? I realize its not the motor that is recommended for the Venus but its been sitting for 2 years in its box waiting for a plane? What do you guys think, will it fly the plane well? I can even go with a 3 blade prop and I will eventually use a Thunder Power 5S4P 7600 10C. I need an airplane that fly's well for my motor. Since the Aeroworks Edge didn't pan out I know the Venus is a better quality ARF.
Thanks Everyone

You would have to play with props some to get the performace where you want it, but that motor should fly this plane with ease. You may have to open up the fire wall a bit to allow the motor to come back far enough for the cowl to get on ok, but that should be about it.
As for the 3p vers the 2p lipo setups, my guess is that Kyle is doing it for CG reasons. I fly a 5s2p setup and have it broken up into 4 packs. 2 3s packs and 2 2s packs. I have my 2 3s and 1 of my 2s packs in the front as far foward as it will go. I then have my remaining 2s pack sitting right in the slot where the wing saddle is as farward as it will go up against the other three packs. This puts my CG right on the mark or about 1/8" behind the mark depending on where I get my wiring harness mess buttoned down at each time I go fly it.
Just some thoughts. I think the 16 cell packs will give you more flexablity as far as getting the CG on.
Thunder Power 7600 10C Packs
David yes what you say is true but I originally bought two of the 10C 6S4P packs in 7600 mahr for my EDF Jets I have a couple of Twin EDF's that need the power and duration. I will probably fly the Venus on 16 zapped RC 2400's for a bit then get a 5S2P 10C for it or 5S3P.
Thanks Much Bill, The Venus just caught my eye since it was on sale. The plane I really want to convert is the Kyosho Corsair and its probably the one I will do with the B50-10L 5.2 to 1 and a 5S3 or 4P not sure which yet but I will probably start on 16 RC 2400's since I have a box of them.
Thanks allot for the help and insight guys I appreciate it.

Where is the President on the debt and deflect he made under his watch? His plans to reform entitlements?Tax Reform? The 26 different job programs the Republicans have in the House but Senator Reed refuses to bring it out in the senate. Raise our standings with Standard and Poor? General Services Administration? Or is he simply going to blame Bush again?
I don't suppose those 26 "jobs programs" that the GOP just can't get past that mean old Harry Reed might actually contain substantial tax breaks for "job creators" that would actually further deplete the revenue to the treasury and cause more debt, would they? Things aren't always as they seem Kat.
Most of those programs had surport from both parties in the House. It seems when Harry Reed gets them they are lost and when Republicans and Democratics bring it up Senator Reed refuses to bring it out.
I think he might be using the bathroom.
mmmmmm that must tell me one part of our government smells really bad. Did you know if they dont do anything with with Bush tax cuts and Obama's increases come Jan. 1th tax will go up for a family $5200.00 more. Ouch!
and did you know that the $5200 dollars is being implemented by the republicans? Not Obama? Did you know that Bush is the one who said the Bush tax cuts would expire in 2010? Ouch!!!!
Would this be one of those episodes Alberto was talking about? I just bumped Kat to the top of the list ..... ouch!

The Yankees got their offense going last night in a season-saving 7-2 win over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium.
Curtis Granderson had three hits, including a homer and double, and two RBIs. Nick Swisher homered. Jorge Posada had two hits and an RBI.
Robinson Cano? He didn't need to get going. He was already there.
In his first game as the injured Mark Teixeira's replacement in the third spot in the batting order, Cano hit his fourth home run of the series, going back-to-back with Swisher in the third inning as the Yankees took a 5-0 lead off lefthander C.J. Wilson.
Cano joined fellow AL MVP candidate Josh Hamilton of the Rangers with four home runs in the ALCS. He also became the 25th player in baseball history (and the fifth Yankee) to hit as many as four in one series.
And there's one, possibly two, more games left.
"It's as good as it gets," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Robbie has been big in our lineup all year and he has been big in the postseason. He's swung the bat extremely well, and it just seems like he's getting the barrel of the bat to the ball all the time."
Cano is hitting .421 in the ALCS after going 4-for-12 in the Yankees' sweep of the Twins in the ALDS. Overall, he's 12-for-31 (.387) in the postseason.
"I feel good at the plate, but the bottom line you just won the game," Cano said. "If you didn't win, it doesn't mean anything. So just go out there and win the game. You stay alive and just do anything. I mean, I don't look at my stats right now, how I'm doing. Just go out there and try to win the game."
Cano's homer in the third went to rightfield. He joined Reggie Jackson (1977), Hank Bauer (1958), Lou Gehrig (1928) and Babe Ruth (1926) as the only Yankees to hit four home runs in a postseason series. The others were in the World Series.
"Right now, I'm just trying to focus more than the regular season, because here, you either win or go home," Cano said. "After we won [last season], we know what it feels like to go to the World Series and win a championship, and now I want to go back again and just keep having fun."
To do that, the Yankees will need continued offense from Cano and to stop Hamilton. The Rangers' centerfielder, who went 1-for-4 last night, received an unintentional compliment from Yankees fans when he was announced for his first at-bat: a shower of boos only reserved for a player you fear.
"Two dangerous guys on both sides," Granderson said. "Both teams would be happy to have either one. Both teams are happy to have the guy that they have. You hear the constant MVP chants both here [and] in Texas, it's going to be interesting to see who gets it when it's all said and done. Both of those guys have lived up to what they have done during the course of the 2010 season. Seems like there's no stopping any of those guys."

Academy News
The Graduates: No.15 Jonathan D'Laryea
Johnathan Dlaryea Grad1
Midfielder Jonathan D'Laryea made one first-team appearance after graduating from City's Academy, but has since enjoyed a long career in football at a variety of lower league clubs.
Born in Manchester but of Ghanaian descent, D'Laryea joined the Blues' youth programme at the age of nine alongside his twin brother Nathan and progressed through the ranks.
He was selected by Kevin Keegan to make his senior debut at the age of 19 against Arsenal in the Carling Cup, a game that City lost 2-1, but he never featured for the Blues in a League match.
After struggling to establish himself in the first team, the midfielder headed to Mansfield Town on an initial one-month loan that was extended by a further two months before D'Laryea joined the Stags permanently in January 2006.
He became a crowd favourite at Field Mill and overcame an ankle injury in the summer of 2007 to return and become a regular performer in the first team for Mansfield.
During his time playing for the Stags he made 149 appearances and scored three goals, before going out on loan to non-league Northwich Victoria in the pursuit of first-team football.
During his initial period at Northwich he made 12 appearances and subsequently signed a permanent deal for the Vics in November 2009. D'Laryea played 20 times for Northwich but in February 2010 decided to sign for Nottinghamshire outfit Eastwood Town in the Conference North.
The holding midfielder scored twice in 22 appearances during his spell at the Badgers then moved east to Lincolnshire to join Conference North rivals Gainsborough Trinity in June 2011.

Putting a virtual machine on a partition thus being able to boot into it.
I asked /g/ (4chan) if it was possible to take a Linux virtual machine and somehow put it on a partition and booting it, instead of running it as a virtual machine.
Some said it was possible and I was given a rundown of what needed to be done, however I don't know how to do most of it (although I understood it)
I was told to "cp -a" everything to a partition with a compatible filesystem and add an entry in the grub.
Regardless of what /g/ said, can anyone give me some info on how I would go about doing this?
Only if it's a Windows VM :)
A virtual machine is (for this discussion) a real computer with a real file system. Any method that can be used on a real computer can be used on a VM. People tend to use dd or other clone apps to do what. You have to understand that the VM also has the entire hard drive not just a partition so you'd have to adapt the partition to be booted by your bootloader or chain it over.
So what method would you use to clone or copy a partition to a partition?
Jefro -
I think the OP was asking if it's possible to take a VM and have it boot itself. "Instead of running as a Virtual Machine".
Homey don't think so ;)
Well I have no clue on how to do it or even if it is possible but if it is, I would love to give it a try.
I was told I could only do this if the guest operative system was a Linux system, then it could work but if the guest operating system was Windows it wouldn't.
I was told to "cp -a" everything to a partition with a compatible filesystem and add an entry in the grub.
This statement leads me to believe that one is trying to copy a partition. I would not use cp myself but it can be done.
I still offer this statement. Almost any virtual machine can be cloned or copied just like any real partition. Then it could be in most cases booted to the new hardware. This makes some assumptions too. That the OS either doesn't care about new hardware or it can be repaired somehow. One can not take a sparc VM and try to run it on a x86 for example.
Slackware can be a VM running under Xen.
Slackware can be the DomU running directly under the Hypervisor.
And, of course, Slackware can be a bare metal install (the PC boots and runs Slackware).
The same can be true of pretty much any distro.
But I can't believe the *SAME* install can be used in all three roles. It might happen to be Slackware (or SuSE, or Debian) ... but it's a *different* install and a *different* configuration for each of the three roles.
Isn't it?
For example:
1) Install Xen hypervisor with NetBSD dom0;
2) install Slackware/Scientific Linux/Debian as normal, on bare metal, completely apart from Xen, on separate partitions or in logical volumes;
3) make sure kernel in Slack/Debian etc. is compiled with Xen domU options and also change /etc/fstab values to UUIDS so the system boots in both environments; Debian and Scientific Linux have the kernel options enabled by default so no change necessary there, and SL has UUIDs in fstab so no change needed there either;
4) boot into Xen and start one or all of these Linux distros as domUs, using XDMCP to bring up full-speed desktop;
5) alternatively, boot normally again and select one but only one of these Linux installations to run as bare-metal install, completely outside XEN.
I now have Scientific Linux and Debian doing the same as Slack. To my mind it's the best kind of virtualisation: it allows me to run the same installation virtualised or natively. The only thing I don't have working yet in domU is audio forwarding to dom0. Otherwise everything is perfect, with minimum fuss and configuration.
thanx, gezley :)!
