Three new national records set on long weekend
At the national championships in Lae, Toea Wisil ran a time of 11.36 seconds in the 100 metres race, taking 1/100th of a second off the time set by Mae Koime in Brisbane in March 2007.In Jacksonville, Florida in the USA, Theo Piniau smashed Nelson Stone’s 200m record and became the first PNG athlete to run under 21 seconds as he won his race in a time of 20.97 seconds.The performance catapulted Piniau ahead of Mowen Boino in the race for a spot on the team to Rio.This means that Boino now has to run close to 51 seconds in the 400m hurdles in his last race to better Piniau’s performance.Jacklyn Travertz set the third PNG national record of the long weekend in Lae when she threw the hammer 38.27 metres to improve on her own record by 1.04 metres.
Warning against knee-jerk reaction to fan trouble
The Football Supporters’ Federation has cautioned clubs and authorities against what it called a “knee-jerk reaction” to the recent spate of pitch invasions by supporters.A Birmingham fan has been jailed for 14 weeks after invading the pitch and attacking Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish during Sunday’s derby, while the home club have indicated he will be banned for life.Also on Sunday, Manchester United defender Chris Smalling was pushed by a fan during his team’s defeat to Arsenal, while there have been recent unseemly incidents in Scotland.But the FSF’s director of case work, Amanda Jacks, insisted lifetime bans are not the answer and also dismissed calls in some quarters to return to the days of physical deterrents such as fences.Jacks told Press Association Sport: “The Football Supporters’ Federation would join everybody in football in condemning the actions of the individuals that ran on the pitches at the weekend.“It’s not unusual that fans go on the pitch. It is, however, exceptionally unusual that supporters enter the field of play to attack a player, which is what we saw yesterday and yes clearly, there has been a huge outcry over it.“[But] unless people want to see football stadiums turned into fortresses, I think there needs to be some acceptance that unfortunately within any large crowd, be it at a football match or a concert, there may well be one or two people that break the law either deliberately or not.”Jacks said the FSF cautioned against handing errant fans a lifetime ban from the game because it ruled out any potential for rehabilitation.“The football clubs have imposed lifetime bans which is entirely their prerogative,” she added.“But we don’t really consider lifetime bans fair in every single case, particularly when you are dealing with younger fans, not least because it doesn’t give them a chance to rehabilitate and learn from their mistakes.“I think, frankly, it’s hugely disappointing to hear anybody talking about fences bearing in mind what happened at Hillsborough.“Given that over any given season, upwards of a million people attend a football match and not even double figures would go on the pitch with malicious intent, is it really proportionate to be talking about these measures, or is it purely and simply a knee-jerk reaction?”

It’s been one heck of a journey Oklahoma!” Westbrook posted on his Instagram account.“You have supported me through all of the ups and the downs, and stood by me through the good times, and tough times. For that I am eternally grateful to you.“I’m leaving Oklahoma with so many friends and so much gratitude. I could never thank you all enough for sticking with me.

(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, file)Now he joins a Rockets backcourt alongside NBA scoring leader James Harden, a former NBA MVP and Westbrook’s ex-Thunder teammate who has been the scoring spark for Houston since leaving Oklahoma City in 2012.“When I left OKC, I was sad. Then Houston made a home for me,” Harden said Friday, according to ESPN. “Rockets is my home. And now an opportunity came available where Russ wasn’t happy. Now we’re back. It’s going to be a lot of fun this year, I guarantee you that. Believe it.”Earlier reactions to the move worried that one basketball a game might not be enough for two players who are accustomed to handling the ball much of the time and producing the bulk of their club’s scoring.The pairing unites the NBA’s two top scorers over the past five seasons.But reports said both players wanted the deal, suggesting they understand they would need to adapt to create the most formidable force for opponents.Harden often draws double teams from defenders while Westbrook’s versatile playmaker skills could make the Rockets more difficult to stop beyond Harden’s scoring heroics.Westbrook’s posting also spoke of how much he has grown over 11 seasons in Oklahoma City, one of the NBA’s smaller markets.“When I came here, I was 18 years old, bright eyed, and completely unaware of all the amazing things that would soon take place,” Westbrook said.“I grew up in Oklahoma with an amazing bunch of people. The people here are what makes this place so special… You are all what makes Oklahoma such a beautiful place, and the reason I’ve loved playing here all of this time.“I’ve met so many amazing people who have helped shape me into the man that I am today. I hope I have impacted the Oklahoma community as much as Oklahoma has made an impact on me and my family.” Russell Westbrook declared Friday he would be “eternally grateful” to Oklahoma City Thunder supporters while his new NBA Houston Rockets teammate James Harden predicted “a lot of fun” next season.

Rogge backs Beckham Olympic snub
0Shares0000Rogge said that it was British coach Stuart Pearce’s job to select the best players to give the host squad its best chance for success when the London Olympic tournament kicks off later this month. “If the head coach decides not to field the player that’s the end of it,” Rogge said.“This is not an issue for sentiment. It’s not an issue for nostalgia. It’s about being the best athlete in the world in your own place, in your own sport.”Rogge, 70, said he would have “loved” to have seen former England football captain Beckham, a major player in the bidding to bring the Games to London, on the field in the Olympics.“He has done a great job in bidding for the Games,” Rogge said. “He has a great personality. He has a very likeable person. But it’s the law of sport.”Rogge said he plans to watch competition in all 26 sports on offer at London, looking forward to seeing a swim showdown between US stars Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte and the men’s 100-meter athletics final on August 5.“I want to see the fight between Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake in the sprint,” Rogge said.Blake defeated Bolt, the reigning 100m and 200m Olympic champion and world record-holder, in both events at last weekend’s Jamaican Olympic trials.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today)
Scientists say SoCal overdue for Big One
AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MORE11 theater productions to see in Southern California this week, Dec. 27-Jan. 2The analysis was published in today’s issue of the journal Nature. Experts have estimated that a quake on the southern San Andreas of magnitude-7.6 or greater could kill thousands of people in the densely populated greater Los Angeles area and cause tens of billions of dollars in damage. It was the 800-mile San Andreas fault, which runs down California like a scar, that caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that led to about 3,000 deaths. But scientists know very little about the 100-mile dormant southern segment, which slices through Southern California from San Bernardino, east of Los Angeles, to near the Mexican border. The section last popped in 1690, producing an estimated 7.7 magnitude quake, but caused little injury or damage because hardly anyone lived there at the time. LOS ANGELES – New earthquake research confirms the southern end of the San Andreas fault near Los Angeles is overdue for a Big One. The lower section of the fault has not produced a major earthquake in more than three centuries. The new study, which analyzed 20 years of data and is considered one of the most detailed analyses yet, found that stress has been building since then, and the fault could rupture at any moment. “The southern section of the fault is fully loaded for the next big event,” said geophysicist Yuri Fialko of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. Predicting exactly when that might happen, however, is beyond scientists’ ability. Using satellite radar and global positioning data, Fialko measured the movement of the southern San Andreas between 1985 and 2005. Small movements along a fault can relieve strain. Calculating those subtle motions allows scientists to figure out how much strain is building up. Fialko found that the southern end of the fault has shown little movement and that significant strain is building up. The fault’s slip rate, or average annual movement, was measured to be about an inch a year – similar to previous estimates. Surprisingly, Fialko found that the two sides of the southern San Andreas behaved differently, with one side showing more flexibility than the other. This could help scientists understand potential earthquake risks, he said. Ken Hudnut, a U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist in Pasadena, who had no role in the study, said the latest research reaffirms the need to study the mysterious southern San Andreas more closely. In the fall, Hudnut will head a $240,000 project that would conduct tests on the southern segment to get a better idea of the threat it poses.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

Camarillo Heralds’ ace in the hole
12:00 p.m. Your quarterback who passed for more than 1,300 yards and 18 touchdowns and led your team to an 11-1 record and the CIF semifinals has graduated. How do you make up for his loss? If you are Whittier Christian High School football coach Jon Caffrey, you hand the ball to senior tailback Esteban Camarillo as usual, only this year, you ask him to carry it an additional dozen times. Sounds simple enough. In two seasons, Camarillo has rushed for more than 2,700 yards and 29 touchdowns. Last year, he averaged about 22 carries and nearly 9 yards per trip before finishing with 2,107 yards and 25 touchdowns. nds simple enough.
