Why fashion beats sport if you want to win immortality.

BY Luke Leitch | 06 July 2012

Until chronic bronchitis forced his premature retirement from tennis in 1929, Ren Lacoste won three French Opens, two Wimbledon Championships and two US Opens in just four years as a professional. It was a feat that earned him membership of the Four Musketeers, France's greatest-ever group of players.

Yet say "Lacoste" today, and what do most people think of? Not the ballistic precision of Ren's baseline play, but the clothing company he founded, and its famous crocodile-logo polo shirt (12 million sold in 2011 alone, with a total company turnover of 1.6billion euros). The story of Ren Lacoste is a smashing example of why, should you hanker after immortality, it's better to triumph in the fashion business than strive for sporting greatness. After all, can you name the other "musketeers"?*

READ: Mencyclopaedia: Orlebar Brown

To aid his training, Lacoste, born in 1904, invented a ball-lobbing machine so that he could practise without a partner. That ingenuity continued when, by now a champion, he ran up some shirts that resembled the impractically formal, starched numbers that were the tennis uniform of the time - but made of a light, piqu cotton to allow freedom of movement and maximum coolness. "The Crocodile" became Lacoste's nickname after his wager over a crocodile-skin bag with France's Davis Cup coach was reported by the Boston Globe in 1923. He played up to the nickname when, while still a player, he began to wear an embroidered crocodile patch on the left breast pocket of his tennis blazer.

READ: Mencyclopaedia: Duchamp

These factors all combined after that early retirement, when he launched a company producing those lightweight "L.12.12" shirts, complete with a scaled-down crocodile on their chests. This means Lacoste has the highly dubious - considering the blight it has spawned - honour of being the first ever company to display its logo on the exterior of its clothes.

After their introduction to the US in the Fifties, the shirts became available in various colours and popular among golfers. They were (and still are) rather expensive compared to other polo shirts, but by the late Seventies they - along with chinos, no socks and loafers - became the chosen uniform of America's "preppies", WASPy, privately-schooled college students. This in turn sparked a backlash marked by the 1981 publication of a book called Save an Alligator, Shoot a Preppie (Americans tend to confuse their Lacoste reptiles).

NASA launches sun-scanning instrument

WHITE SANDS, N.M., July 5 (UPI) -- A rocket carrying an instrument to study changing magnetic fields on the sun was launched from the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico Thursday, NASA said.

The Solar Ultraviolet Magnetograph Investigation, or SUMI, will study the intricate, constantly shifting magnetism in a hard-to-observe area of the sun's low atmosphere called the chromosphere, the space agency said in a release.

The chromosphere is a thin layer of solar atmosphere sandwiched between the visible surface, the photosphere, and its atmosphere, the corona.

The magnetic fields lie at the heart of how the sun can create huge explosions of light such as solar flares, and eruptions of particles such as coronal mass ejections, referred to as the solar "wind."

While there are already instruments, both on the ground and in space, that can measure these fields, none of them can see the layer SUMI will observe, NASA said.

Understanding the structure of the magnetic fields in this region will help scientists understand how the corona is heated and how the solar wind is formed, the release said.

The flight of SUMI, lasted about 8 minutes, and is considered a test flight to make sure the instrument works and to assess possible improvements, researchers said.

"With the knowledge we get from a successful SUMI mission, we can go on to build space-based instrumentation that will help us understand the processes that form flares and CME's and help us predict space weather," Jonathan Cirtain, a solar scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., said.

Liberty sign G-F Katelan Redmon

Posted on by

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Liberty signed guard-forward Katelan Redmon on Thursday.

The former Gonzaga star was a third-round selection, 36th overall, by the Liberty in this year's WNBA draft. She appeared in one preseason game for New York, scoring 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting in 16 minutes against Connecticut, before being waived during training camp on May 27.

The 6-foot-1 Redmon averaged 13.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in three years with the Lady Bulldogs. She began her collegiate career at Washington and led the team in scoring (11.8) during her one season with the Huskies in 2007-08.

The Liberty waived veteran guard Kelly Miller on Monday.

Ali to receive Liberty Medal

Posted on by

Muhammad Ali will be honored as the 24th recipient of the Liberty Medal on Sept. 13 at the National Constitution Center at Philadelphia's Independence Hall. The National Constitution Center is the national headquarters of the Constitution's 225th anniversary celebration, and part of the celebration includes honoring Ali with the Liberty Medal, which is awarded to individuals of courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe. Among the past winners of the Liberty Medal are former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, movie director Steven Spielberg, former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Colin Powell, Sandra Day O'Connor and Nelson Mandela. Ali is the first former athlete to be awarded the Liberty Medal. "It is incredibly fitting that Muhammad Ali, a representative for , the bicentennial of the Constitution, be awarded the prestigious Liberty Medal in 2012, as the nation celebrates the 225th anniversary of our founding document," former President Bill Clinton, Chair of the National Constitution Center and past Liberty Medal recipient, said in a statement. "Ali embodies the spirit of the Liberty Medal by embracing the ideals of the Constitution - freedom, self-governance, equality, and empowerment - and helping to spread them across the globe." As well as being a gold-medal winner and one of the greatest boxers in history, Ali has been an outspoken advocate of religious and civil rights domestically and throughout the world. When selected for the military draft, he became a conscientious objector. He took his battle to the Supreme Court and won, even though it cost him his boxing title and time in the ring. Ali, who turns 70 this year, has been an ambassador for peace and justice worldwide throughout his adult life. He has become an advocate for those suffering from Parkinson's disease, a disease that has afflicted Ali. He was selected in 1987 by the California Bicentennial Foundation for the U.S. Constitution to personify the meaning of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. "Muhammad Ali symbolizes all that makes America great, while pushing us as a people and as a nation to be better,'" National Constitution Center President and CEO David Eisner, said in a statement. "Each big fight of his life has inspired a new chapter of civic action. We look forward to welcoming him back to the Center, particularly during this momentous 225th anniversary year." Ali flew to Lebanon in 1985 to help achieve the release of four hostages, and traveled to Iraq to help secure the release of 15 United States hostages during the first Gulf War. He has participated in goodwill missions to Afghanistan, North Korea and Cuba, and he traveled to South Africa to meet Nelson Mandela when Mandela was released from prison. Ali has devoted time domestically, too, and in November 2005, Ali and his wife Lonnie opened the Muhammad Ali Center in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. The center encourages people to commit to personal growth, integrity, and respect for others.

Libertarian governor candidate won't be on ballot

Posted on by

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The Libertarian Party's candidate for North Dakota governor won't be on the November general election ballot.

The Bismarck Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/KW1T6M) that Roland Riemers will not be on the ballot in November because his lieutenant governor running mate missed the deadline to appear on the primary ballot.

The state's constitution requires the governor and lieutenant governor to be elected jointly on the ballot.

Riemers' running mate, Richard Ames, did not completely fill out the paperwork to appear on the primary ballot. Riemers appeared on the primary ballot by himself and earned enough votes to qualify for the November election, but the attorney general ruled that Riemers could not appear on the November ballot.

That means only the Republican and Democratic-NPL Party tickets for governor will be on the November ballot.

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, visits South Florida

Posted on by

BOCA RATON -- Hes so conservative that he would slash federal spending across the board, including sacred cows most Democrats and Republicans are afraid to touch. Hes so liberal that he would legalize marijuana, immediately withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and support marriage for same-sex couples as a constitutional right.

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, is completely unlike whats offered up by the two major parties and thats what appeals to his supporters.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- A Libertarian is planning to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie in this fall's general election in Kentucky's 2nd District. Craig Astor, former chairman of the Larue County Republican Party, will make his candidacy official on Monday by filing the necessary paperwork in the secretary of state's office. The 49-year-old Astor, an ordained minister from Hodgenville, will also face Democratic nominee and perennial candidate David Williams in the Nov. 6 election. Williams has run unsuccessfully for a litany of offices over the years. Astor campaign manager Ken Moellman said he believes this will be a good year for Libertarian candidates because of what he sees as dissatisfaction among voters with Republican and Democratic standard-bearers on the national level.
