MotoGP Argentina: 'Vinales may be the new alien, but Rossi is the original'
Well, that was eventful…
The Argentina Grand Prix promised to be an exciting one, largely thanks to the Termas de Rio Hondo track which is, quite simply, beautiful; despite it also being dirty, abrasive and bumpy. It brings brilliant, fast racing while the surface has the ability to surprise everyone.
Of the 23 riders that started the race, only 16 finished it. While we began with 12 factory riders, only 5 made it to the chequered flag, with only Yamaha and KTM keeping all their bikes upright. Both Repsol Hondas fell at turn 2, both Ducatis fell, 1 Aprilia crashed while the other retired and 1 Suzuki also hit the floor. It was a day of team-mates sticking together with the factory Yamahas locking out the top 2, Tech 3 secured 5th and 6th, Pramac took 7th and 8th, and KTM took their first points in 14th and 15th.
Teamwork makes the dream work…
Speaking of dreaming; Maverick Vinales says he feels like he's in one at the moment. While his lack of wet experience on the Yamaha held him back in qualifying, in the dry he had already shown he had the pace in Argentina. Once he inherited the lead he grabbed the chance and ran with it, eventually crossing the line 2.9 seconds ahead of Rossi.
Is it surprising Maverick won? No, but it wasn't a certainty either. In Qatar he worked his way to the front after showing patience, in Argentina he seized the opportunity of Marc Marquez crashing and never wasted a second of it. There's still a lot more to come that we haven't seen yet from this new alien. His win made him only the second rider in MotoGP to win the first 2 races (the other being Marquez in 2014) and the first Yamaha rider to do the same since Wayne Rainey in 1990.
But if Vinales is the new alien, then it's important to remember that the original was Valentino Rossi and one of his greatest tricks in recent years is the Sunday turnaround; in no small part thanks to the invaluable team on his side of the Yamaha garage.
In Argentina the weekend didn't get off to the best start for the Italian; on Friday he was uncomfortable in corner entry, experiencing the same feeling as the pre-season tests and he wasn't in the top 10 for any of the practice sessions, leaving him to fight through from Q1. While Saturday's rain hampered some of his efforts to correct the issues, Sunday's warmup proved key. He was able to find a setting that improved the balance of the bike, which in turn helped braking. Practice struggles mean little on the podium and Rossi is seems to be the comeback king.. can he keep it up? Almost certainly. Can he catch Vinales? If Michelin bring the stiffer front and if he can find a bit more in corner entry, there's no reason to say he can't.
But while the race was perfection for the Yamaha team, it was anything but for Repsol Honda. Marc Marquez got a storming start off the line and soon left everyone else behind; although he says he wasn't pushing *that* hard and lap times do back that up. He was quicker and was surprised by the gap he pulled out but he hadn't gone crazy. But despite the fairly easy lead, Marquez soon ran into trouble when he crashed early into turn 2 on lap 4. He wasn't alone for long though, with team-mate Dani Pedrosa crashing at the same corner 10 laps later.
Why did turn 2 hate the Hondas? Well, it really comes back to the same thing; what they lack in acceleration they're trying to make up in braking (yes, I know you've heard that before). A stiffer front setting to help them do so leaves them slightly less stable, so when they do hit the bumps not only is it a lot more visible for those of us watching (Pedrosa, in particular, was really wrestling his RC213V) but it means that their grip is at risk, with Pedrosa calling it "on-off" and saying the limit becomes narrow.. as shown by the fact both of them ended up in the gravel.
Of course, one Honda did make it onto the podium thanks to Cal Crutchlow, although he admitted the bike was difficult to ride. Crutchlow was hindered due to a warning light (suspected to be a fuel related warning) that meant he had to manage his race carefully. The British rider is also heavier than both the Repsol riders, which could possibly help him keep the front a little more stable over the bumps. Crutchlow kept a good pace throughout the race despite the warning light and it was a welcome podium considering he hadn't finished a race since his win in Australia last year.
The factory bad luck didn't just stay with Honda though, it extended to the Ducati garage as well. Jorge Lorenzo had been hoping to get some valuable track time under his belt, especially because he'd gone back to a higher seat that he tested in Valencia, which gave him a better feeling. But his grid position of 16th left him in the middle of a large pack of riders and coming into the first corner he ran into the back of Andrea Iannone (who later had to serve a ride-through penalty for a jumpstart), crashing out of the race just seconds after it started. While on paper things don't look great for Jorge, there's still a lot of time to get things sorted and he remains positive.
If anyone needs some positivity after Sunday, it's his team-mate Andrea Dovizioso. In Dovi's own words "here in Argentina, I don't have any luck at all..I'm bitterly disappointed" which pretty much sums it up. Once again, the Italian was taken out by someone else; Andrea had been following Petrucci who braked late, meaning he had to go wide to avoid him, this, in turn, left Aleix Espargaro having to take a tighter line before losing the front and taking both himself and Dovi out of the race. Taking someone else out is almost as unpleasant as being the one taken out and Aleix went straight over to Andrea to check he was ok, apologising for his mistake and giving him a hug.. one thing MotoGP doesn't lack is gentlemen.
Aside from the obvious Yamaha brilliance and Crutchlow determination; the standout performance of the whole weekend has to be the Aspar team. With Karel Abraham qualifying on the front row for the first time in MotoGP and Alvaro Bautista finishing 4th, the two satellite Ducati riders really impressed with their pace in Argentina and will hopefully be more permanent faces in the top 10 this season. Another special mention has to go to the KTM duo of Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith, who finished 14th and 15th; picking up KTM's first points in MotoGP. The Austrian team are lacking speed on the straights so overtaking doesn't come easy at the moment, but they're working in the right way.
Final thumbs up goes to Tech 3. Johann Zarco took everyone's breath away when he led in Qatar but he again showed great pace in Argentina, moving through the grid (despite smoking his rear tyre all over the place) and making some brilliant passes, particularly in his battle with Dani Pedrosa. While Jonas Folger came back from illness the night before to finish behind his team-mate in a solid 6th. The rookies are doing well.
Moto2 and Moto3 completed a weekend that saw the same winners as Qatar; with Franco Morbidelli and Joan Mir topping their classes.
From Argentina, there's a week off (to avoid travel chaos) before MotoGP hits the States and heads to crazy COTA in Austin. Marquez has made it his hunting ground, but Vinales expects to be competitive there.. what will happen?
It's MotoGP so just about anything.
Fire it up in the comments below:
MotoGP Austin: Marquez is King COTA
Austin as a venue for Grand Prix motorcycle racing is excellent; it's large (obviously, it's Texas), it's colourful and the city itself is a great place to spend time.
As a track you either love it or hate it; it's technical and incredibly physical but there's a little bit of everything. If you're looking for a racing spectacle, you won't find it at COTA, but if you want to witness a display of utter dominance there's nowhere else where it's clearer.
Argentina took MotoGP's natural thirst for drama to fever point and knocked everything out of balance. The World Champion Marc Marquez was roundly, and rightly, criticized for his actions at Termas after riding carelessly. Deliberately dangerous? No, just not quite engaging his brain.
After so much scrutiny there were really only two ways things were going to go; sink or swim. And anyone who thought it would be the first of those options clearly doesn't know Marc Marquez.
The Circuit of The Americas is his domain, his kingdom if you will. Every year we've raced there he has won with ease. This year wasn't going to be any different.
The only two hiccups in his total dominance this weekend came on Friday afternoon when Andrea Iannone topped the second free practice session and when he was given a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Maverick Vinales in qualifying.
His pole position will still go in the records as his 6th at COTA and 9th in the USA, as well as being number 46 in MotoGP on his 93rd start in the class. But he didn't start from that prime spot on the grid, instead, he was heading the second row in 4th next to Valentino Rossi. But if you thought that would hold him back or make things more difficult, you were sorely mistaken.
When the lights went out, it was Andrea Iannone who got the best start, tearing forward from second on the grid as the riders made their way up the steep incline to the hairpin of turn 1. By this point, Marquez was already through into second, but the real miracle came when everyone made it through turn 1 safely and still onboard. Vinales had inherited pole from Marquez and slipped behind the World Champion into third as they made their way through the continuous changes of direction that weave from turn 2 to turn 9.
At turn 12, at the end of the back straight, Marquez made his move and passed Iannone for the lead, while two corners later Rossi and Zarco battled for 5th as the two almost came into contact with each other, which would've been the last thing this race needed.
On lap 3 Iannone decided to live up to his nickname of "The Maniac" and passed Marquez into turn 11, unsurprisingly he couldn't quite keep tight to the line and Marc cut back into the lead. Realistically, Andrea knew the move wouldn't stick but thought he'd try to keep things exciting anyway.
By the next lap, Marquez had pulled the pin and opened a gap of 1.3 seconds over Iannone. In previous years he'd been happy to stick around to stop the race feeling so long as he roamed at the front, but this time he was out to prove a point and he simply cleared off.
Vinales made the move into second past Iannone on lap 7, as he took the inside line into turn 1 and with 14 laps to go the podium was complete, while Marquez continued to pull away giving him a 4 second lead by the next lap.
Further back Cal Crutchlow passed Zarco for 5th but ran wide at turn 12 giving the Frenchman plenty of room to retake the position. Things then got worse for the British rider when he lost the front at turn 20, crashing out of position and his place as championship leader before he rejoined back in 19th.
Karel Abraham made the decision to pit at this point, after completing just 8 laps, due to pain. The Czech rider had crashed heavily in Q1 and was experiencing a lot of pain in his wrist, fingers, palm, arm and back. Karel was, unsurprisingly, struggling to turn or brake and his team told him to come in.
But while Abraham was forced to retire, there was a gladiator still on track, with Dani Pedrosa running in 7th despite breaking his wrist just 2 weeks earlier.
Hafizh Syahrin soon became the next rider to fall, as he lost the front at turn 1. Like Abraham, Hafizh wasn't in perfect condition ahead of the race after he had a very hard and fast crash in the morning warmup.
He was soon followed by Alex Rins, who crashed out 3 laps later at turn 12, giving the Spanish rider 2 DNFs in 3 races, and a bitter followup to his first podium last time out in Argentina. Alex lost the front late in the corner, which left both him and his bike right in the middle of where riders were exiting the turn. Thankfully, due to some avoidance tactics from riders, including Jorge Lorenzo and Aleix Espargaro, no-one else was caught up in the incident.
By this point, the top 4 were all having pretty lonely rides. Marquez was so far gone he was almost racing in Houston, Vinales had cleanly dispensed of Iannone, who in turn had a steady gap over Rossi. In 5th Dovizioso was chasing Zarco, but behind them, Pedrosa was exceeding all expectations, including his own, as he clung on in 7th.
The next real piece of excitement came on lap 16 when Jack Miller went in hard up the inside of Jorge Lorenzo at turn 1, forcing the Spaniard to sit up. There was definitely space at the entry of the corner, although things got a little tight as Lorenzo turned into the apex. There was no contact between the pair and while it was undeniably a hard pass, it was a fair one, and Lorenzo would've made the same move a thousand times if roles were reversed.
One lap later and Dovizioso made his move on Zarco down the back straight (hello horsepower) and gave no opportunity for the Tech 3 rider to fight back.
Apart from a late battle for 8th between Miller and Rabat, the rest of the field pretty much followed each other home, as Marc Marquez took the chequered flag 3.5 seconds ahead of Maverick Vinales. In reality, his gap was over 6 seconds, but he sacrificed that when he stood up to do a dance over the line.
Marquez had spent a bit of time in Brazil after the Argentina race, working with UNICEF and visiting a local school in Sao Paulo. The students shared some of their dancing with the World Champion, as part of the project that aims to use dance and music to boost education. Marc had told the kids that if he won, he'd dance for them, and true to his word, as always, he did.
Following him, eventually, to the chequered flag was Maverick Vinales who took his first podium finish since Australia last year and Andrea Iannone who secured his first top 3 with Suzuki and marked a return to the podium for the first time since Valencia 2016.
The cooldown lap then brought the moment of the weekend for me. COTA had done a great job remembering Nicky Hayden, naming the area under their iconic tower Hayden Hill and painting 69 onto the grass, and many riders had been carrying their own tributes to the Kentucky Kid as well. But as he made his way back round to the pits, Marc carried a 69 flag and brought it back with him to Parc Ferme.
Speaking about Nicky after the race, Marc said that honouring Nicky had been a special motivation and that he'd told his team he wanted Nicky's flag at the end of the race. "He was a good friend.. I think this was the moment.. I enjoy a lot to make that lap for his memory".
But Nicky wasn't the only extra motivation for Marc Marquez this weekend.
After Termas, COTA was the perfect track to make a point. He changed his strategy to avoid having to spend time with other riders, going so far as to say "I didn't have the confidence to battle", and instead simply left them all for dust (which there was a lot of this year, thanks to the track grinding).
Marquez knew that he would be under more scrutiny this weekend. In Friday's Safety Commission, riders were told that rules would be enforced more strictly from now on and that was demonstrated when both Marquez and Pol Espargaro were given 3 place grid penalties for riding slowly on the racing line and getting in the way of other riders in qualifying.
Now that rule isn't new, it's as old as racing itself because trust me you don't want to see a fast rider hit a slower one from behind, and it would certainly have been a penalty in Moto3 after the rules were made stricter to stop them always cruising when looking for a tow. So, it's right that it was also a penalty in MotoGP, we have to have consistency and parity in the rules and their enforcement. Marc had his attention on Iannone in front of him and didn't realise Vinales was behind him until it was too late, but that's no excuse, he's a 6 times World Champion and he knows better.
But that extra scrutiny and the increased pressure that comes with it only served as more motivation for Marc. After qualifying Marc made an important comment "my style is my style, but I want to learn from my mistakes". His riding style was questioned after Argentina when that wasn't the problem, his lack of thinking was, and in Austin, he had a point to prove.
It took Marquez all of 12 corners to lead, and apart from Iannone's brief moment of madness on lap 3, he was unchallenged from there to the chequered flag. If you want a definition of sheer domination, it would simply read: Marc Marquez in Texas. If you're not already impressed, and you should be, he was actually a little bit ill this weekend so by his own admission wasn't even performing at 100%.
Marquez is essentially a certainty for COTA, the only way he won't win there is if he screws up and there was very little chance of him doing that on Sunday. But behind him, things weren't so set in stone.
His team-mate Dani Pedrosa was performing miracles by even getting on the bike on Friday. He pushed himself to the limit in qualifying and then beat all expectations in the race. 7th place in MotoGP can be a hard fought position to take when fully fit, so 2 weeks after breaking his wrist and having surgery, it's nothing short of incredible. Unsurprisingly, he didn't particularly enjoy himself and he was struggling to control the bike towards the end, but he made it through 20 laps and 400 corners of one of the most physical tracks of the year and brought home some precious points thanks to painkillers and adrenaline (which is better than any analgesic). With more time to heal before Jerez, he should be feeling considerably better when we return to Europe. The Little Samurai is one tough cookie and for me it was the ride of the weekend.
Maverick Vinales had made some substantial steps forward with the electronics that were letting him ride in a more aggressive way, something that suits "Top Gun" and the benefits were evident as he took the flag in 2nd and showed the closest pace to Marquez at COTA. He's found a good feel on the bike and while there's still work to do, both with the electronics and the front feel, he's ready for Jerez. Interestingly, he feels that his season will really start after he's had some testing time to devote purely to setup, and the next test is immediately after the next race.
The other Yamaha was brought home in 4th by Valentino Rossi. It was a good weekend for The Doctor overall and the Italian showed pretty decent pace in the cooler practice sessions. But it was the heat on race day that prevented his podium aspirations as he struggled with the front tyre. He had been given little option but to run the medium as the harder compound simply didn't work for him, but he felt the balance of the bike might have contributed to some of his issues so there's still work to do.
Regardless, the Yamahas are definitely making progress and moving in the right direction. It hasn't been the ideal start to the season, especially for Rossi, but the return to Europe promises more to come from the boys in blue.
It was back to back podiums for Suzuki, although with different riders as Andrea Iannone secured 3rd after his excellent start. Andrea seems to look happier and calmer this season, and he reaped the benefits in the race as he stayed sensible (mostly) and brought the bike home. He'd shown good pace throughout the weekend and was the only rider to beat Marquez in a session. He didn't have enough to hold off the World Champion or Vinales but it's a very good result as he looks to prove his worth to Suzuki ahead of contract-talk time.
For Alex Rins it was a bumpy fall from the highs of his first podium at the last race. He struggled for much of the weekend; lacking confidence and feel, although he had felt better on Friday when the track was very dirty and grip levels were low. He was obviously disappointed to crash but keen to point out the positives of Iannone showing that the bike was working well.
5th went to Andrea Dovizioso, who had another weekend of damage control. Ducati expected to struggle in Austin and their concerns over turning proved true. Their issues with turning and wheelie when accelerating from low speed out of corners led to Dovi joining Lorenzo in running the aero fairing and he felt that it had definitely been the right decision. The concern for Dovizioso and Ducati is that much like last year they've shown that there are tracks where they struggle, and the thing that really held Dovi back in 2017 was not being on the podium when he couldn't win. On the other hand, he goes to Jerez leading the championship, albeit by 1 point, which puts him in a much better position than last season, the flipside of that being that there are even more strong riders than 2017.
There was no such optimism on the other side of the Ducati garage though, as Jorge Lorenzo finished in 11th and called it a "race to forget". The 2018 chassis proved to be more unstable over the bumps for the Spaniard and while over one lap he was able to put in a good time, with used tyres his pace simply wasn't good enough, which is what ultimately held him back in the race as he struggled with spinning from the tyre. We are now heading to more Jorge-friendly circuits and with just 6 points from 3 races the improvements need to come fast.
Johann Zarco brought his Tech 3 Yamaha to the line in 6th after a tricky weekend that never really saw him looking comfortable. He didn't have a particularly good start, and while his pace was pretty constant it simply wasn't fast enough, especially when he came under pressure from Dovizioso, but he did secure the position of the top independent rider.
His team-mate Hafizh Syahrin definitely had a worse time though as he lost the front on the brakes and crashed. He had lost time in warmup due to crashing so was forced to run his setup from practice, which in the higher temperatures proved to be a little too soft. It was a rude awakening for the rookie who had otherwise been pretty impressive so far this year. Hopefully, it doesn't knock his confidence and he can come back strong in Jerez.
Tito Rabat had a great race to finish 8th, a good improvement on his grid position of 14th. He'd taken a risk choosing the hard rear tyre but made it work. Tito had to make some hard overtakes but enjoyed the battles, especially with Jack Miller towards the end.
Avintia team-mate Xavier Simeon finished 20th after lacking confidence at the start but found a decent rhythm later on. Every lap is still good experience for Simeon who hasn't had the easiest transition into the premier class and he's the first to admit that he's still holding back slightly to avoid making mistakes and crashing.. understandable but at some point, he's going to have to lay it all on the line.
The star of Argentina, Jack Miller, took the flag in 9th after being beaten by Rabat late on due to a mistake he made that made him lose the front, but the Aussie had ridden a strong race and did well to make up so many places after starting 18th. It's a 6th consecutive top 10 for Jack and with him looking so much more comfortable onboard the Ducati the season should only continue to get better.
Fellow Pramac rider Danilo Petrucci had a difficult weekend and lost time in the beginning as he struggled with his harder rear tyre and was ultimately disappointed with 12th place. The track might have been a tricky one for Ducati, but finishing behind Rabat, Miller and Lorenzo won't have sat well.
Aleix Espargaro took the final place in the top 10 on his Aprilia after working hard to make up positions early on. Aleix felt the bike was working well, something that would've been a great relief after he said he barely recognised it on Saturday due to chattering and lack of traction, but he ran out of rear grip towards the end and couldn't fight for higher positions.
Scott Redding brought the second Aprilia home in 17th after lacking rear grip, an issue that was influenced by the work they had done on improving the front-end of the bike.
The other Espargaro brother finished 13th with Pol bringing the KTM home in a pretty good position despite having issues with the changes of direction that make up so much of COTA. Pol felt the setup could've been a bit better and the soft front tyre might not have been ideal, but he had looked like they'd made good improvements on Saturday so hopefully, they can carry that forward.
Bradley Smith ended a few places behind his team-mate in 16th after his front tyre gave up and left him battling understeer from lap 12. Until then he'd had good pace and had made up a lot of places, but the British rider will be disappointed to just miss out on the points.
LCR's points came from rookie Taka Nakagami on Sunday as the Japanese rider took the flag in 14th. He had hoped for more but experienced a difficult race. While his team-mate Cal Crutchlow could only manage 19th after rejoining following his crash and was obviously not happy ending an otherwise good weekend with decent pace that way.
Alvaro Bautista took the final point for the Angel Nieto team in 15th, despite lacking rear grip in the race. That issue had largely been the consequence of improving the turning, which in turn affected traction on corner exit. Team-mate Karel Abraham was unable to finish after retiring due to pain.
18th went to Tom Luthi who lost a lot of places at turn 1 as he got caught up in the group, before then having issues with front grip from the halfway point that made it difficult for him to negotiate COTA's many turns.
The final finisher was his fellow Marc VDS rookie, Franco Morbidelli, in 20th. The Italian found himself struggling to ride the way he wanted to and put the focus on the need to get the setup to suit him and his style better.
At the end of the day, the Circuit of The Americas is almost provisionally marked down as a Marquez win as soon as the calendar comes out. He certainly doesn't take it for granted that he will remain undefeated on US soil but no-one has brought forward a real challenge yet and 2018 was his 6th win at the track and 10th in the US in MotoGP.
This year he had a point to prove and he did it in the best way he knew how; by obliterating the rest of the field.
When asked what makes Marc so successful at COTA, Andrea Iannone responded "he's more strong than everybody, it's simple" and it really is. Austin goes left which suits him and he tames the challenging circuit in a way almost unheard of in motorsport.
Marquez remains the undisputed King of COTA and to those that boo him, he has one simple message "another motivation, that's it". If you think that you'll break him, you picked the wrong rider. It will only make him stronger and quicker. Your act of stupidity is self-defeating. It marks you out as a fool and is blatant disrespect to every single rider that risks their life every time that they go out on track. Silence would suit you a lot better.
MotoGP now heads back across the ocean to Europe. This is the meaty part of the season. The tracks are often as narrow as they are familiar and we get closer and harder racing with battles for positions up and down the grid. It'll be another 11 races before we leave the continent again and by then things could look very different. Next up: Jerez, and I can't wait.

WorldSBK Assen: Sykes wakes up and smells the victory
For the first time this season, Tom Sykes woke up and smelt the victory in race two at The Cathedral of Speed.
Starting from pole position after finishing race one in fourth, Sykes led the 21 lap race from start to finish, never faltering in what could only be described as a flawless performance by the Yorkshireman.
There wasn't much to write home about as race two returned to its normal form. Jonathan Rea made a stellar start to come through to second, only occasionally coming under fire from home hero Michael van der Mark.
As Sykes was quick to pull a lead at the front, Rea and van der Mark stayed locked together for a few laps, with Rea eventually cutting back in front to ease a two second gap over the Dutchman.
Ducati will be leaving The Netherlands with their heads in their hands after a less than ideal weekend. Although they made it onto the podium with Chaz Davies yesterday, today they weren't so lucky.
Davies ran steady in fifth with a healthy gap between himself and Jordi Torres in sixth, but ran into tyre wear troubles in the closing laps.
Meanwhile his team mate Marco Melandri was cruising around in seventh, after working his way back up from outside the top ten due to a disastrous first few laps that saw him pushed backwards continuously.
It seems that just as we start to see an exciting couple of races, a race like this comes along.
Today's race certainly wasn't as close as we have seen in other races this season, and that's where the excitement comes from. What do the organisers have to do to make it a little bit more exciting for the fans to watch?
World Superbike returns in three weeks time for the first of two Italian legs in Imola.

Two First-Half Goals Lift GW Men's Soccer Past LIU Brooklyn, 2-0
Colonials Record Second Straight Shutout
Sep 6, 2013
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Sophomore Jonny Forrest gave the Colonials an early lead which they would not relinquish as the George Washington men's soccer team defeated LIU Brooklyn, 2-0, on Friday evening at LIU Field.
Forrest scored his second game-winning goal in as many games, and sophomore Ross Higgins tacked on an insurance tally just before halftime. Sophomore goalkeeper Jean-Pierre van der Merwe recorded four saves in his second straight shutout.
Forrest put GW (2-1-0) on the board just 4:48 into the game, striking from 15 yards out on the right side. Seniors Bailey Hinners and Tyler Ranalli were each credited with assists.
The Blackbirds (0-3-0) rattled off a flurry of six shots in the next three minutes, but none found the target.
With just 2:14 remaining in the first half, Higgins collected a through ball from freshman Sam Summerlin and tucked it inside the far post from eight yards out to give the Colonials a 2-0 lead with his second goal of the year. Sophomore Philip McQuitty was also credited with an assist on the play.
The two-goal advantage was all GW would need, as van der Merwe turned away all three of the Blackbirds' shots on goal in the second half.
The Colonials outshot the Blackbirds, 14-13, and held a 9-5 advantage on corner kicks. LIU goalie John Connolly recorded five saves.
After defeating Howard, 2-0, on Sunday, GW has posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time since Nov. 4-6, 2011.
The Colonials return to action on Sunday when they visit NJIT for a 4 p.m. kickoff.

Community Fibre wins £18m from UK.gov infrastructure fund
if the fixed line operators dont sort their lives out soon the mobile operators will take all their business.
the average 4G speeds in the UK are 20Mbps down / 10Mbps up and if they can add more spectrum with LTE+ this is showing in current areas at 42/20 which is as faster than FTTC (infinity1) (38/10)
and if they can use the FTTC infrastructure to do fibre backhaul, they could get 5G going too.
Brexit has shafted the UK's space sector, lord warns science minister
@fruitoftheloon Statistics
the fact remains that 51.9% of 72.2% of the voting population voted in a non-binding referendum to leave the EU (the remaining 27.8% not bothering to vote.)
this result is in contrast to the only other national referendums, 1975 EC referendum where 67.23% voted to remain (a two thirds majority) and the 2011 UK AV referendum where 67.9% voted to not change. turnouts were 64% and 42% respectivley.
there is no argument that the EU as it stands is a less than effective organisation, but the only way to fix it is with a seat at the table. The Leave campaign were pushing the "Norway" option throughout the campaign, which leaves the UK part of the customs union and subject to the majority of eu rules, with no seat at the table, and lower commitments to EU institutions. the Idea of a hard brexit and its stark economic relaities were downplayed, and the slight yes on the soft option, taken as a hard yes of the extreme option by the May Cabinet.
consiquently there are some leave voters jumping up and down saying, this is nt what we voted for, and the remainers sticking to there you got to be in the club to fix the club.

Re: Cynical? Moi?
@Nick Kew - I think your statistics are a little out of date, the uk doesnt amke it into the top 5, as we dont have any decent manufacturers any more. All the ones we had have borged into BAe Systems, and they're only a float because of gov.uk contracts. the only report that ranks us behind only the US is written by the UK.gov and is definatley not credible. How many british made and still used weapons systems can you name compared to US or Russian? the biggest deal recently has been 48 typhoons to saudis, but the US has "sold" F35s right left and centre, even to us. Sukoi and MiG out sell BAe too, and the french have been selling rafaeles to world+dog.

Security By Design and Default
Its baked into GDPR, things have to change, we know the momment time pressures come in, the first three things to go are documentation, testing and security.
But by changing our ways of working, so security isnt the afterthought, its just the way we do things, will lead to more efficient, more secure, programming and less patches and hapier customers who will pay more.
If you design in the security in the first place, using never conditions, error handling, input validation, not hardcoding passwords etc. then it solves a lot of the issues before they become vulnerabilities.

World celebrates, cyber-snoops cry as TLS 1.3 internet crypto approved
Still think it should be TLS2.0
its a major overhaul of the entire protocol, not the simple patch and perfect a dot release is meant to be, but that lead to more infighting and options than you can imagine.
Suggestions on the Mailing list came wide and varied
you cant have TLS2.0 as its too close to SSL2.0
you should call it 4.0 cos so peopl know its better than SSL3.0
you should call it 3.4 if you take it back to the start of SSL
I like 2.0
it shouldnt be TLS 2.0 it should be TLS/2 like HTTP
bunch of winers copped out and stuck with 1.3
Its TLS not SSL, its a new version, so increment main number, return sub to zero.

Brit MPs chide UK.gov: You're acting like EU data adequacy prep is easy
Considering the EU-Canada trade deal took 9 years, and thats just trade. Brexit is going to take considerably longer to negotiate as its a lot more that needs decided on. Tentativley i recon to fully Brexit it will take at lest twice that and the relationships are so deep that it might even never complete (NI-Eire border etc.) and adequacy is going to be a hard sell as the people that decide it (Article 29 Working Party) have always had issues with how the 1998 DPA implemeted 95/46/EC and there are more concerns that were brought up in the article.
There are already some lessons learned for the next EU exit process (probably Grexit or Itexit), article 50 will be modified to: anyone wishing to leave must agree a transition period which must end as the next EU budget cycle begins, or extend their membership for another budget cycle.
Windows Server 2019 coming next year and the price is going up
MS revenue run rate is due to Azure being +$$$$ than AWS and you can grow faster when you're smaller.
AWS are still inovating, wheras MS are still playing catchup.
Amazon dont care how cheapit is as long as it covers the costs (just) and provide everything you need to just get it going. MS factor cost + profit into everything and then screw you for add-ons, integrations, and stuff to make it actually work. Hence MS top the revenue table, but i bet customer wise and usefull workload wise AWS is far ahead.

It's begun: 'First' IPv6 denial-of-service attack puts IT bods on notice
IPv5 = RFC1819 Internet Stream Protocol
EUI-64 is just a way to extend a MAC-48 to give a unique IPv6 address (adding FF:FE between OUI and Device Identifier)
The MAC address 0021.86b5.6e10 (48 bit) becomes
the EUI-64 address 0221.86ff.feb5.6e10 (64 bit)
if you employ the same space saving measures used in IPv6 with the smaller address space and extend the ASN field from IPv4 you end up with plenty addresses to use!
2^48 is more than enough address space, and when your talking 4 addresses in an IPSEC packet, it makes a huge overhead difference.
I think we need a v7 with an address space that is less overkil, and a bit more privacy built in.
if we used a MAC address sized space (2^48) rather than the Ipv6 monster
headers get smaller, and there is plenty of address space for use, along with scope for nat and feasable dotted decimal repreentations ....
Symantec ends cheap Norton offer to NRA members
See previous post -> The NRA are a JOKE
private non-military gun ownership per capita in the US is twice the next highest country
The NRA are a JOKE
on average a US citizen owns at least 1 gun this average is a bit on the skewed side as 3% of the population own over half the guns (at least 17 each) and 57% of housholds don't own one.
the NRA has 5 million members (or less than 1% of the population.)
7.7 million Americans own over 40 guns, so theres at least 2.7million people who own over 40 guns who arent NRA members.
So how do they claim to speak for US gun owners?
Oh and all this second ammendment stuff is really a reach, here it is in all its glory:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"
so its basically saying that the individual states have the power to retain an armed force that can be used to defend the freedom of the people and this will not be infringed by the forming of the United States. the NRA et all like to forget the first part of it.
The NRA try to whip up the gun owners by saying gun regulations will remove their right to own any, but even talking to NRA confrence delegates or Trump supporters, they accept that some people shouldn't have guns, and that some controlls are nessacary.
limit legal arms to Hunting rifles and Handguns, except where stored secureley at a licenced gun club, that is inspected and controlled.
Mandatory check on applicants for mental illness, violent convictions or other relevant crimes.
Mandatory training on safe use and storage
that will not impinge the avarge gun user, apart from the time to carry out checks, but but any sensible person will build that into there scheduling.

UK.gov's Brexiteers warned not to push for divergence on data protection laws
Brexit, GDPR and FUD
I got the best advice about brexit from a Data Protection Specialist from one of our local law firms back in October 2015
She set out 5 options for what the UKs relationship with the EU will look like after brexit and i still think not much has been decided either way.
The basic options are Remain, EEA/EFTA, Bilatteral agreements, Customs Agreement, WTO rules.
Remain means we are subject to all regs, but have a seat at the table to decide them
EEA/EFTA, like Norway/Iceland means we have to apply most rules, dont have to pay in as much, get the free-trade and free-movement, but dont get a seat at the table
Bilateral agreements, Like Switzerland - takes forever to set up, will probally end up with us haing to follow most regulations, gives us custom agreements for each sector, no seat at the table either.
Customs Agreement like turkey - Allows access to free trade, sets external tariffs, covers most goods, but no services
WTO Rules - no Regs, no free-trade, no support, tarrifs and border checks increased cost of goods http://stat.wto.org/TariffProfiles/E28_e.htm
During the referendum campaign, the leave campaign talked up the norway/Iceland senario, but it looks increasingly likely that they are going for a swiss senario, but the agreements woont be in place in time, so we will end up with the WTO cliff edge.
but untill we actualy have some information, its all FUD.
Oh and BTW Data Protection equivalance is not a foregone conclusion, the EU working party for data protection (WP29) have three large grounds they dont think our current regieme is inline with the old directive (that the 1998 dpa is based on) starting with the Five Eyes agreement and the snoopers charter.

Garage. Saturday , April 14th , 2018 - 02:21:15 AM
There are a lot of things that we can do to protect and beautify our home. Sometimes, protecting and enhancing their looks can go hand in hand. One of the most used and abused parts of the house is the garage. It is where you park your motorcycle or car, fix stuff, change the oil or just hangout and drink with buddies.
The shelving manufacturer will measure the load carrying capacities of each individual component and together as a shelving system to come up with a maximum shelf capacity and rating. It is very important to note that the rating given to a shelving system is based on slowly adding weight, evenly distributing it over the entire shelf. It will not support that weight if concentrated on one part of the shelf. The manufacturers rate their shelves as light duty, medium duty etc. Do not to let these ratings determine your design selection as every manufacturer rates their shelves differently and there is no commonly adopted rating system. Only careful consideration of the shelf's intended use should be given when choosing a shelving design to prevent catastrophic structure failure.
The retrofitting process in general is to replace the engine with the electric motor. All of the existing fuel tank, fuel pumps, fuel lines, radiator etc are to be removed from the vehicle. However, the existing drive train such as the transmission, clutch system and drive shaft can still be used. The torque produced from the electric motor will be sufficient to propel a car forward to a substantial speed.

Twenty-seven years in the past, a gaggle of physicists made an unintentional discovery that flipped arithmetic on its head. The physicists had been attempting to work out the main points of string principle once they noticed a wierd correspondence: Numbers rising from one form of geometric world matched precisely with very completely different sorts of numbers from a really completely different form of geometric world.
To physicists, the correspondence was attention-grabbing. To mathematicians, it was preposterous. They'd been learning these two geometric settings in isolation from one another for many years. To assert that they had been intimately associated appeared as unlikely as asserting that in the meanwhile an astronaut jumps on the moon, some hidden connection causes his sister to leap again on earth.
"It regarded completely outrageous," stated David Morrison, a mathematician on the College of California, Santa Barbara, and one of many first mathematicians to analyze the matching numbers.
Practically three a long time later, incredulity has lengthy since given solution to revelation. The geometric relationship that the physicists first noticed is the topic of some of the flourishing fields in modern arithmetic. The sphere known as mirror symmetry, in reference to the truth that these two seemingly distant mathematical universes seem someway to mirror one another precisely. And for the reason that remark of that first correspondence—a set of numbers on one aspect that matched a set of numbers on the opposite—mathematicians have discovered many extra cases of an elaborate mirroring relationship: Not solely do the astronaut and his sister leap collectively, they wave their arms and dream in unison, too.
Lately, the examine of mirror symmetry has taken a brand new flip. After years of discovering extra examples of the identical underlying phenomenon, mathematicians are closing in on an evidence for why the phenomenon occurs in any respect.
"We're attending to the purpose the place we've discovered the bottom. There's a touchdown in sight," stated Denis Auroux, a mathematician on the College of California, Berkeley.
The hassle to provide you with a basic clarification for mirror symmetry is being superior by a number of teams of mathematicians. They're closing in on proofs of the central conjectures within the area. Their work is like uncovering a type of geometric DNA—a shared code that explains how two radically completely different geometric worlds might probably maintain traits in widespread.
Discovering the Mirror
What would finally turn out to be the sphere of mirror symmetry started when physicists went searching for some further dimensions. Way back to the late 1960s, physicists had tried to elucidate the existence of basic particles—electrons, photons, quarks—when it comes to minuscule vibrating strings. By the 1980s, physicists understood that to be able to make "string principle" work, the strings must exist in 10 dimensions—six greater than the four-dimensional space-time we will observe. They proposed that what went on in these six unseen dimensions decided the observable properties of our bodily world.
"You may need this small area you can't see or measure straight, however some points of the geometry of that area would possibly affect real-world physics," stated Mark Gross, a mathematician on the College of Cambridge.
Finally, they got here up with potential descriptions of the six dimensions. Earlier than attending to them, although, it's value considering for a second about what it means for an area to have a geometry.
Contemplate a beehive and a skyscraper. Each are three-dimensional buildings, however every has a really completely different geometry: Their layouts are completely different, the curvature of their exteriors is completely different, their inside angles are completely different. Equally, string theorists got here up with very other ways to think about the lacking six dimensions.
One methodology arose within the mathematical area of algebraic geometry. Right here, mathematicians examine polynomial equations—for instance, x2 + y2 = 1—by graphing their options (a circle, on this case). Extra-complicated equations can kind elaborate geometric areas. Mathematicians discover the properties of these areas to be able to higher perceive the unique equations. As a result of mathematicians typically use advanced numbers, these areas are generally known as "advanced" manifolds (or shapes).
The opposite kind of geometric area was first constructed by fascinated by bodily methods comparable to orbiting planets. The coordinate values of every level in this sort of geometric area would possibly specify, for instance, a planet's location and momentum. Should you take all potential positions of a planet along with all potential momenta, you get the "section area" of the planet—a geometrical area whose factors present a whole description of the planet's movement. This area has a "symplectic" construction that encodes the bodily legal guidelines governing the planet's movement.
Symplectic and complicated geometries are as completely different from each other as beeswax and metal. They make very completely different sorts of areas. Advanced shapes have a really inflexible construction. Assume once more of the circle. Should you wiggle it even slightly, it's not a circle. It's a completely distinct form that may't be described by a polynomial equation. Symplectic geometry is way floppier. There, a circle and a circle with slightly wiggle in it are nearly the identical.
"Algebraic geometry is a extra inflexible world, whereas symplectic geometry is extra versatile," stated Nick Sheridan, a analysis fellow at Cambridge. "That's one motive they're such completely different worlds, and it's so shocking they find yourself being equal in a deep sense."
Within the late 1980s, string theorists got here up with two methods to explain the lacking six dimensions: one derived from symplectic geometry, the opposite from advanced geometry. They demonstrated that both kind of area was in step with the four-dimensional world they had been attempting to elucidate. Such a pairing known as a duality: Both one works, and there's no take a look at you may use to tell apart between them.
Physicists then started to discover simply how far the duality prolonged. As they did so, they uncovered connections between the 2 sorts of areas that grabbed the eye of mathematicians.
I feel we're attending to the purpose the place all the large "why" questions are near being understood.
Denis Auroux
In 1991, a workforce of 4 physicists—Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Paul Inexperienced and Linda Parkes—carried out a calculation on the advanced aspect and generated numbers that they used to make predictions about corresponding numbers on the symplectic aspect. The prediction needed to do with the variety of various kinds of curves that could possibly be drawn within the six-dimensional symplectic area. Mathematicians had lengthy struggled to rely these curves. They'd by no means thought-about that these counts of curves had something to do with the calculations on advanced areas that physicists had been now utilizing to be able to make their predictions.
The end result was so far-fetched that in the first place, mathematicians didn't know what to make of it. However then, within the months following a unexpectedly convened assembly of physicists and mathematicians in Berkeley, California, in Might 1991, the connection grew to become irrefutable. "Finally mathematicians labored on verifying the physicists' predictions and realized this correspondence between these two worlds was an actual factor that had gone unnoticed by mathematicians who had been learning the 2 sides of this mirror for hundreds of years," stated Sheridan.
The invention of this mirror duality meant that in brief order, mathematicians learning these two sorts of geometric areas had twice the variety of instruments at their disposal: Now they may use methods from algebraic geometry to reply questions in symplectic geometry, and vice versa. They threw themselves into the work of exploiting the connection.
Breaking Up Is Arduous to Do
On the similar time, mathematicians and physicists got down to establish a typical trigger, or underlying geometric clarification, for the mirroring phenomenon. In the identical manner that we will now clarify similarities between very completely different organisms via components of a shared genetic code, mathematicians tried to elucidate mirror symmetry by breaking down symplectic and complicated manifolds right into a shared set of primary components known as "torus fibers."
A torus is a form with a gap within the center. An atypical circle is a one-dimensional torus, and the floor of a donut is a two-dimensional torus. A torus will be of any variety of dimensions. Glue numerous decrease dimensional tori collectively in simply the fitting manner, and you'll construct the next dimensional form out of them.
To take a easy instance, image the floor of the earth. It's a two-dimensional sphere. You possibly can additionally consider it as being constituted of many one-dimensional circles (like many strains of latitude) glued collectively. All these circles caught collectively are a "torus fibration" of the sphere—the person fibers woven collectively right into a better entire.
Torus fibrations are helpful in just a few methods. One is that they provide mathematicians a less complicated manner to think about difficult areas. Identical to you possibly can assemble a torus fibration of a two-dimensional sphere, you possibly can assemble a torus fibration of the six-dimensional symplectic and complicated areas that function in mirror symmetry. As an alternative of circles, the fibers of these areas are three-dimensional tori. And whereas a six-dimensional symplectic manifold is not possible to visualise, a three-dimensional torus is nearly tangible. "That's already an enormous assist," stated Sheridan.
A torus fibration is helpful in one other manner: It reduces one mirror area to a set of constructing blocks that you may use to construct the opposite. In different phrases, you possibly can't essentially perceive a canine by taking a look at a duck, however in the event you break every animal into its uncooked genetic code, you possibly can search for similarities which may make it appear much less shocking that each organisms have eyes.
Right here, in a simplified view, is the best way to convert a symplectic area into its advanced mirror. First, carry out a torus fibration on the symplectic area. You'll get quite a lot of tori. Every torus has a radius (similar to a circle—a one-dimensional torus—has a radius). Subsequent, take the reciprocal of the radius of every torus. (So, a torus of radius four in your symplectic area turns into a torus of radius ¼ within the advanced mirror.) Then use these new tori, with reciprocal radii, to construct a brand new area.
In 1996, Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau and Eric Zaslow proposed this methodology as a normal strategy for changing any symplectic area into its advanced mirror. The proposal that it's at all times potential to make use of a torus fibration to maneuver from one aspect of the mirror to the opposite known as the SYZ conjecture, after its originators. Proving it has turn out to be one of many foundational questions in mirror symmetry (together with the homological mirror symmetry conjecture, proposed by Maxim Kontsevich in 1994).
The SYZ conjecture is difficult to show as a result of, in observe, this process of making a torus fibration after which taking reciprocals of the radii is just not simple to do. To see why, return to the instance of the floor of the earth. At first it appears simple to stripe it with circles, however on the poles, your circles can have a radius of zero. And the reciprocal of zero is infinity. "In case your radius equals zero, you've received a little bit of an issue," stated Sheridan.
This similar issue crops up in a extra pronounced manner whenever you're attempting to create a torus fibration of a six-dimensional symplectic area. There, you may need infinitely many torus fibers the place a part of the fiber is pinched down to a degree — factors with a radius of zero. Mathematicians are nonetheless attempting to determine the best way to work with such fibers. "This torus fibration is absolutely the nice issue of mirror symmetry," stated Tony Pantev, a mathematician on the College of Pennsylvania.
Put one other manner: The SYZ conjecture says a torus fibration is the important thing hyperlink between symplectic and complicated areas, however in lots of instances, mathematicians don't know the best way to carry out the interpretation process that the conjecture prescribes.
Lengthy-Hidden Connections
Over the previous 27 years, mathematicians have discovered lots of of tens of millions of examples of mirror pairs: This symplectic manifold is in a mirror relationship with that advanced manifold. However relating to understanding why a phenomenon happens, amount doesn't matter. You possibly can assemble an ark's value of mammals with out coming any nearer to understanding the place hair comes from.
"We now have large numbers of examples, like 400 million examples. It's not that there's an absence of examples, however however it's nonetheless particular instances that don't give a lot of a touch as to why the entire story works," stated Gross.
Mathematicians want to discover a normal methodology of development—a course of by which you may hand them any symplectic manifold and so they might hand you again its mirror. And now they consider that they're getting near having it. "We're transferring previous the case-by-case understanding of the phenomenon," stated Auroux. "We're attempting to show that it really works in as a lot generality as we will."
Mathematicians are progressing alongside a number of interrelated fronts. After a long time build up the sphere of mirror symmetry, they're near understanding the principle causes the sphere works in any respect.
"I feel it will likely be executed in an inexpensive time," stated Kontsevich, a mathematician on the Institute of Superior Scientific Research (IHES) in France and a frontrunner within the area. "I feel it will likely be confirmed actually quickly."
One energetic space of analysis creates an finish run across the SYZ conjecture. It makes an attempt to port geometric data from the symplectic aspect to the advanced aspect and not using a full torus fibration. In 2016, Gross and his longtime collaborator Bernd Siebert of the College of Hamburg posted a general-purpose methodology for doing so. They're now ending a proof to determine that the tactic works for all mirror areas. "The proof has now been fully written down, however it's a large number," stated Gross, who stated that he and Siebert hope to finish it by the top of the yr.
One other main open line of analysis seeks to determine that, assuming you've gotten a torus fibration, which provides you mirror areas, then all an important relationships of mirror symmetry fall out from there. The analysis program known as "household Floer principle" and is being developed by Mohammed Abouzaid, a mathematician at Columbia College. In March 2017 Abouzaid posted a paper that proved this chain of logic holds for sure varieties of mirror pairs, however not but all of them.
And, lastly, there's work that circles again to the place the sphere started. A trio of mathematicians—Sheridan, Sheel Ganatra and Timothy Perutz—is constructing on seminal concepts launched in 1990s by Kontsevich associated to his homological mirror symmetry conjecture.
Cumulatively, these three initiatives would offer a probably full encapsulation of the mirror phenomenon. "I feel we're attending to the purpose the place all the large 'why' questions are near being understood," stated Auroux.

30 Days of Thanks #3
This weekend I am thankful for friends who include me in their major life events--like weddings. I got to have dinner with one of my soul mates this weekend. Renny has found THE CUTEST little man and I am ecstatic for her. We had a great time on a double date dining at probably my favorite Park City restaurant, Windy Ridge.
Last night we attended the wedding reception for this guy (you may remember him from my "Love Story" series--he and his cuter than cute wife are not in the photo...but a bunch of old L.A. friends are!). His wife is as cute as they come. We got to spend some time with them last month in Park City. I only wish they were going to be living in Utah because she and I are the same size...shoes and all. As a closeted clothes horse (combined with being on a small budget), this is always an exciting thing--to find a potential clothing swapper/sharer/friend person.
For my friends everywhere I want more than anything for them to be happy. I want them to find a wonderful companion to spend their lives with. (As frustrating as it is to be married sometimes). It made me so happy to see this goodness happening for my friends this weekend.
