This has been a great year of results for Dominique

Dominique Mayho and Nicole Mitchell were crowned the 2012 Male and Female Riders of the Year at the Bermuda Bicycle Association (BBA) awards ceremony on Saturday night.

The pair were clear favourites to claim the honours on a night that also acknowledged the performances of athletes throughout the year.

Mayho had a season to remember, winning national titles in the mountain bike series, time trials, road circuit and criterium series.

“Dominique has had a wonderful year, winning all four National Championship titles and won all road races locally but one, all the mountain bike races and turned in several awesome time trial series performances,” said BBA president Peter Dunne.

“He bested Garth Thomson’s Harrington Sound time trial course record and came within four seconds of Tyler Butterfield’s Shelly Bay course record. This has been a great year of results for Dominique and there is certainly pressure for him to continue at this level and go further.”

Mitchell’s performances were equally impressive, winning the Time Trial, Road circuit, and Criterium series, along with a silver medal at the Caribbean Cycling Championships (CCC) time trial and a bronze in the CCC road race in Antigua.

“Nicole has continued to progress her racing and carried a basketful of National Championships titles with time trial, road race and criterium which were capped with a silver and bronze CCC time trial and road race respectively,” said Dunne.

“She was the standout in the local women’s field and has her sights to go even further.”

Mark Godfrey won the Junior Rider of the Year after a series of impressive results.

Among his achievements for 2012 included an eighth place in Adult ‘A’ road race series, and was the junior road race champion.

He was also third in the junior time trial championship plus a first place finish in stage three, second at the Tour de FCCC, and eighth in the junior CCC time trial.

Vashon Cann won the Most Improved Junior, while Clifford Roberts and Richard North won the Most Improved Rider and Club Person of the Year awards.

Attending the dinner as the BBA’s guest was Lauren Tamyao, a silver medallist from the 2012 London Olympic Games and her husband Mike Tamayo, manager of the top US men’s cycling team United Healthcare Pro Cycling.

Meanwhile, 14 candidates successfully completed the introductory level course for race officials, courtesy of the BBA last week.

The two day course was the first time the BBA has held such a programme to develop the officiating of local racing and with the number of successful completions the association is in a strong position to become more self sufficient at local races.

Led by top official Diane Fortini of the US and the administrator for cycling in New England, the newly qualified officials will also be capable of working the Island Games cycling events.

Mrs Fortini has been a frequent visitor to Bermuda to help with officiating at major events and will be the Chief Referee for the Island Games cycling in July.

Groovy Sandra ready to sizzle on the dance floor

German golfer Sandra Gal may not have set the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) on fire during the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia last week, but she’s hoping to bring some sizzle to the dance floor.

Gal, who carded a one-under 283 to finish joint 30th with Americans Lexi Thompson, Mina Harigae, Gerina Piller and South Korea’s Chella Choi, hopes to one day put on her dancing shoes and compete on the hit US dance show Dancing with the Stars.

“Yes, I would love to one day. Probably on the US version but the German version would be nice too, yeah,” said Gal.

The show, a dance competition in which celebrities are paired up with professional ballroom dancers, is currently in its 15th season – the All-Stars edition, in which 13 returning contestants get a second shot at winning the mirror ball trophy.

Born in Cologne, Germany, the 27-year-old who now resides in Orlando, Florida, tries to catch as many episodes of the show when she’s not busy travelling on the Tour.

“I think it’s a great challenge and it’s a lot of fun. I mean you get to dance with a professional and learn all these moves. I think I’d be good at it,” said the world No. 30.

Sports personalities have proven to be dancing revelations on the show with seven out of 14 previous champions being current or former athletes.

In fact, Olympians Apolo Anton Ohno (speed skating), Kristi Yamaguchi (figure skating), Shawn Johnson (gymnastics) as well as Indy 500’s Helio Castroneves and the NFL’s Hines Ward, Emmitt Smith and Donald Driver have all won it before.

And many have come close too, with the NFL’s Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp, Jason Taylor and figure skater Evan Lysacek taking second place in seasons two, seven and 10 respectively while boxer Laila Ali finished third in season four.

It’s high time a golfer features on the show and Gal would be the perfect candidate, having studied ballet for 15 years and taking up salsa lessons and swing dancing whilst studying at the University of Florida.

“I love to salsa. I really enjoy it and there’s so much variety to it. You can do so much. And it’s very sexy!” said the advertising graduate.

The six-foot tall Gal has already set her sights on three-time champion Derek Hough to partner her on the show.

“Yeah, I’d like to have Derek as my partner. He’s won a few times and, yeah, he’s really, really good but maybe I’ll be too tall from him though,” said leggy German.

Another pro, Maksim Chmerkovskiy may be a better match height-wise.

“Which one is he again?,” she asked quizzically.

“Oh yeah, the tall one! With the dark hair, right? Oh yeah, sure! I’ll take him too! Because I’ll probably need a taller partner,” she laughed.

Will Jets give Tebow his shot at starting?

Where that ultimately leaves the New York Jets— and Mark Sanchez, who remains on the marquee as starting quarterback — is anyone's guess. Sanchez, who once was considered can't-miss, has watched his bright light flicker with diminished performances.

The question that begs to be asked: Is it only a matter of time before Tim Tebow — the NFL's most unique, scrutinized player — takes over as the Jets' starter?

Welcome to the football theater of the absurd, according to the Jets' critics.

Tebow's mere presence creates an intriguing dynamic and a compelling story line. The franchise has waited 44 often-painful years for a sequel to Broadway Joe Namath's guarantee, and deliverance, of a Super Bowl trophy.

The Jets, and head coach Rex Ryan, lost swagger during a tension-filled, non-playoff 2011 season, even as their MetLife Stadium cohabitants, the New York Giants, took home their second NFL championship in five years. The Jets envision that Tebow's unconventional playmaking ability, peerless work ethic, positive locker room influence and looming presence will help lift the franchise to its first AFC East Division title since 2002.

So can the Jets gamble on a quarterback whose best single-season completion percentage is an underwhelming 56.7% and whose career passer rating is a pedestrian 73.2?

That would be Sanchez, by the way. So is New York headed for an unavoidable quarterback controversy?

"You just can't make this stuff up," ESPN analyst Cris Carter said. "We know what is going to happen. It's going to end badly for Mark Sanchez."

The Jets maintain that Sanchez remains their unquestioned leader. "He is the cornerstone of our franchise," Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum told USA TODAY Sports.

"We're just bringing in this other guy to enhance our offense," Tannebaum said, a reference to Tebow's deployment in new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano's Wildcat option package.

Except, this "other guy" is no other guy: Tebow generates some of the most polarizing opinions in pro football.

"Whatever my role is," Tebow told USA TODAY Sports, "I will make the most of it. I am going to be the best quarterback I can be in whatever they ask me to do. I think that sometimes people don't really grasp that. It's a great situation. I'm excited."

But ominous clouds gather overhead that could create turbulence for Sanchez and the Jets. Of course, the chief reasons that prompt a head coach to make a change at the critical position are injury and ineffectiveness, particularly if the fan base and the news media are restless. In 2011, 59% of NFL teams (19 of 32) started the same quarterback every game.

If the Jets have difficulty in pass-protection schemes, which they did in the preseason, Tebow's sturdy legs make him an appealing alternative. After the third preseason game, the Jets traded former starting right tackle Wayne Hunter to the St. Louis Rams for tackle Jason Smith, 2009's No. 2 overall pick who had also moved into a reserve role. For now, journeyman Austin Howard remains the starter at right tackle.

The Jets also have a difficult early-season schedule that includes road games with the Pittsburgh Steelers and two AFC East rivals, the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, plus home games against the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans, two 2011 division champions.

Sanchez and Tebow, both 25, were friends before sharing the green and white.

"He's a great teammate," Sanchez said.

But how will the fourth-year signal-caller respond if he is yanked routinely in favor of Tebow in the red zone? Or if the Jets offense sputters, as it did in the preseason, and Ryan replaces him?

Preferring the element of surprise for the regular season, Ryan and Sparano declined to unveil the change-of-pace Wildcat package in the preseason. Sparano estimates using it about 100 snaps during the season (less than 10% of the team's offense).

"Just because we have a player in the building that has some history running the football ... doesn't necessarily mean that's exactly what we're going to do," he said.

The Jets failed to score a touchdown in their first three preseason games.

"The way I see it," Sanchez wryly told news reporters, "we are saving all the good stuff for the regular season."

Fans will know more when the curtain rises Sunday with the Jets' season opener at home against the Buffalo Bills. For now, Tebow, a 6-3, 245-pound tough-to-tackle left-hander, carries the proverbial clipboard — and the knack for being an instant game-changer.

"Tebow makes plays," said Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, who watched the quarterback, then with the Denver Broncos, beat the Jets 17-13 with a 20-yard scoring run in the final minute of a 2011 game, capping a 95-yard drive. "I really don't know where his role is going to go, (but) he gets respect because that Wildcat is hard to stop. I'm sure he's going to do great things for us this year."

South-West PDP and its discordant tunes

WHEN will the suffering of the Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State chapter, abate? The political elephants involved in the battle for the soul of the party are hell bent in seeing their battle to a logical end, but an uphill task lies ahead of the party, especially its resolve to wrestle power from the Action Congress of Nigeria in the state in the 2015 general election.

Except the major players in the crisis that has lingered on for so long put aside their personal interests and forge a common front, the party’s ambition to unseat the Senator Bola Tinubu-led ACN may remain a mirage. Even though members of the party, at different fora, had insisted that all was well with the party, political observers know that it is not yet uhuru. Notable players in the party includes its former Deputy National Chairman, Chief Olabode George; former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, Dr Abayomi Finih, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, Dr Wahab Dosumu; former deputy governor of Lagos State, Chief Kofoworola Bucknor Akerele, to mention a few.

The crisis rocking the party dated back to 2006, shortly after the assassination of its governorship candidate, Chief Funso Williams, in the build up to the 2007 general election. Members of the party were said to be divided over who should step into the shoes of Williams before they later settled for Senator Obanikoro. The party lost the election to the ACN candidate, the incumbent governor of the state, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN).

While the party was still nursing the injury of its defeat by the ACN, its chieftain and foremost leader, Chief Bode George, was arrested and convicted of financial impropriety while serving as the Board Chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority. His conviction dealt a severe blow to the party, as it now became a sheep without a shepherd. This led to the emergence of various factions, which some notable members prefer to refer to as caucuses.

With the release of George from prison, political pundits thought the end had come to the leadership tussle rocking the party but they were proved wrong, as his release, rather than ending the crisis, amplified it. Members of the party were divided along interest lines. While some aligned with George, others pitched their tents with Senator Ogunlewe, Dr Finih, Dr Ade Dosumu, Senator Obanikoro and Chief Bucknor-Akerele.

Noting the danger inherent in the division among the rank and file of the party in the state, the PDP National Working Committee waded into the matter, hoping to proffer lasting solution and map out a strategy to conquer the state in 2011. But this was not to be. The emergence of Dosumu as the candidate of the party in 2011 further rubbed salt in the injury of some notable members of the party, who then saw Chief George as an impositor. But George insisted that Dosumu was a product of the primary conducted by the party. In one of the interviews he granted, he said “But you people (press) covered the primaries. It is like saying that we imposed President Jonathan, did you not watch the primaries live? Was the Lagos State primary done in secret like in the other parties? So, how could you say we imposed? I was not even there, I was in prison and the people decided.’’

Describing himself as the symbol of the party in the state, Chief George said other people that were parading themselves as leaders of the party lacked honesty of purpose, commitment and loyalty, adding: “They don’t even understand these two words: loyalty and commitment. That is why they are junketing. They think they can just come through the back door and hit the rooftop; it does not work that way.’’

In the build up to the state congress, the PDP constituted a reconciliatory committee led by Senator Obanikoro with the aim of reconciling the aggrieved members prior to the conduct of the congresses. The group met with notable members of the party but the meeting did not yield any fruitful result, as some factions of the party rejected the candidacy of Honourable Tunji Shelle as the state chairman of the party.

Chief Ogunlewe faulted the conduct of the primary, adding that members people should be allowed to elect their own leader. The issue had lingered on for long and, according to him, it was high time the national leadership of the party intervened.

On why peace seemed to have eluded the party, he submitted, “you need a lot of goodwill for people to believe in you. The moment you start practising exclusion, you will end up laying the foundation for failure. Everybody must be accommodated, everybody must feel important.

“We told the state leadership of the party to let us know which of the zones is expected to present the positions to be contested for. We also made it clear that on no account should any of the zones be excluded, on no account should political powers be concentrated in one zone. As a party, we need to rotate the state leadership of the party because it is a constitutional matter; both the constitution of the party and constitution of the nation.’’

Disturbed by this development, a delegation from the leadership of the party, led by Chief Segun Oni and Senator Iyiola Omisore, came to Lagos to broker peace and let the members see why they must work together as a team and ensure the success of the party in subsequent elections. While some members were present at the meeting, others were absent, thereby sending a wrong signal.

Also, a party delegation led by Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun visited Chief Bode George and other notable members of the party, with the sole aim of restoring normalcy back to the party and positioning it for the local government election, but to no avail. The ACN capitalised on the division among the members of the PDP to further confirm its supremacy, even though some of its representatives were accused of non-performance.

But the PDP spokesperson, Taofik Gani, said it was going to be a different ball game in 2015, arguing that there was no faction within the party but caucuses, which, to him, was not peculiar to the PDP. He said the state executive committee put in place a reconciliatory committee aimed at reconciling aggrieved members but, rather than accepting the olive branch, some members headed to court.

With the present development, coupled with the issue of litigation, can the party challenge the dominance of the ACN in 2015? Time will tell.

Gage gets victory lap before retiring as AFGE leader

Even now, days from retirement, Gage is “still caught up in TSA land,” he said, dealing with cases that will go to a new arbitration system, a contract ratification process and continuing the union’s membership drive.

He has gained respect for being a fierce advocate of his members even from people who are not always on the same side of an issue.

“John Gage has been a passionate and highly effective labor leader for years,” said Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director John Berry. “John long ago recognized a simple and profound idea — that labor and management achieve more when we work together.”

After nine years as president, Gage is ready to move on. His June letter to members announcing his retirement said, “I’ve never been able to put the union in the proper place; I’ve never been able to be the activist and simultaneously take care of those who love me. For once, I’m putting my family first.” That family includes an AFGE lawyer, his wife, Patti McGowan.

For Gage, the long TSA fight encapsulates his view of what it means to be a union leader.

The main elements of his job are “communications, representation, organizing, political action, and I don’t pay attention to anything else,” he said. “TSA was kind of all four. What a struggle.It was heroic.”

That struggle included battles with a Bush administration that was not union friendly, an Obama administration that was friendly but slow, in the union’s view, on granting TSOs collective bargaining rights, and an organizing campaign that became quite unfriendly.

The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) is the second largest federal worker union and the two labor organizations regularly are allied to protect employee pay, benefits and jobs. But they fought a bitter battle against each other to win over the TSOs, a huge prize in labor organizing. And the wounds apparently haven’t healed.

Asked for a comment about Gage on the eve of his retirement, NTEU President Colleen M. Kelley offered this: “For nine years, John Gage has been a presence in the federal labor-management environment, serving the interests of those represented” by AFGE. The rest of her four-sentence statement didn’t even refer to him.

That contrasts sharply with praise from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka:

“John Gage has been a fearless advocate for working people. He’s been a tireless leader who has sought to create an economy that works for everyone. His recent success in helping 40,000 TSA workers secure union representation is  just the tip of the iceberg of a long career filled with passion and dedication on behalf of his members and all workers throughout the country.”

How Gage’s tenure is viewed depends on where you sit, said Dan Blair, president and chief executive of the National Academy of Public Administration. Acknowledging that AFGE’s members have reason to be pleased with Gage, Blair, a former OPM official under President George W. Bush, also said “some would think his leadership is shortsighted” because Gage hasn’t prepared his membership for fundamental changes to the civil service system that Blair said need to happen.

Gage, a former minor league catcher, likes to wear black high-top gym shoes, no matter what else he has on. He’s leaving during a time when federal employees have been forced into a two-year freeze on basic pay rates and more cuts are looming. Pressure is building for structural reforms to the pay classification system, reforms that organized labor is unlikely to support.

Today’s atmosphere for federal workers is “worse than toxic,” Gage said. “I can’t think of any good thing to say about it.” No matter who wins the presidential election, federal employees are going to take “a very significant hit,” he added.

Gage understands that protecting against those hits is a job that is larger than the largest union. International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers President Gregory J. Junemann said he appreciates the way Gage reached out to smaller labor organizations.

“He really understood that AFGE was not in the fight alone,” Junemann said, adding: “This is the best thing about John. He left AFGE better than he found it.”

Handbags, shoes and Sex in the City

Women who are more threatened by idealised images of females in media tend to own more shoes and handbags, but not trousers, according to research being led by University of Canterbury PhD student, Jessica Boyce.

Studies of 922 female students at the University of Alberta, Canada, and 286 students from the University of Canterbury came up with two main findings:

Women who feel more insecure after exposure to media body ideals own more attractiveness-conferring accessories such as shoes and handbags, but not trousers

Women who are, in general, insecure, own fewer accessories

"What the research suggests is that shoes and handbags are more appealing to insecure women because they increase physical attractiveness without drawing attention to one's figure. Trousers, on the other hand, tend to draw attention and that is why they are shunned by this group of women," Jessica said.

"Those who are insecure irrespective of media body ideals tend not to accessorise, perhaps because this would draw attention to themselves, something they do not want. We suspect that they want to dress anonymously, whereas those who are insecure because of the media like buying shoes to affirm their attractiveness, either because the shoes are particularly attractive themselves or perhaps because, as with high-heeled shoes, they increase height and apparent slenderness," said Jessica, a self confessed handbag and shoe lover, but not in the same scale of Imelda Marcos or Sex in the City's Carrie Bradshaw.

Worldwide the female shoe industry is enormous. In the United States alone, 886 million pairs were sold in 2008 compared with 144 million trousers, dresses, skirts, cotton shirts and blouses combined.

"If you look more closely into the findings, it could be that advertising campaigns unknowingly or knowingly capitalise on this struggle with insecurity about appearance," Jessica said.

"Some women may see shoe advertisements in stores, negatively compare themselves to the models and consequently purchase a pair of shoes. Given the increasing size of the average woman and the decreasing size of models, threats to appearance are likely becoming more frequent."

Jessica's thesis for her PhD in health psychology, studies the media's effect on female body image and dieting. This particular study examining the media, body image and accessories is one small part of the thesis. She hopes to finish her thesis by the end of the year and begin a postdoctoral research fellowship focusing upon body image and women's dieting behaviours.

Adriana Lima vs Amber Heard - Who wore it best?

Guaranteed to make you feel bad about yourself, a Victoria Secrets Angel wearing the same dress as you!

Stunning Brazilian model Adriana Lima wore this floral and leopard print dress by Dolce & Gabbana last week. She teamed it with killer peep toe black heels and simple gold jewellery. The body con dress shows off her amazing figure and the leopard prints tones complement her olive skin tone, well jeal!

American Actress, Amber Heard was also snapped wearing the same dress back in January at the Pre-Golden Globes New York Times Style Magazine dinner in LA. The film star kept in simple with black court shoes and a small black clutch. Not sure whether her pasty legs are doing justice to this uber sexy dress D&G dress though?

You decide, who wore it best?
