LEMBIT OPIK has thrown his hat in the ring to become the Liberal Democrat candidate for Mayor of London.

The former MP admitted he had already talked to party chiefs about the prospect. He is the latest Lib-Dem figure to be linked to the job, joining Joanna Lumley and former Met officer Brian Paddick, who stood in 2008. Mr Opik, 45, said: "I'm potentially standing for Mayor of London because one or two fairly senior MPs from London suggested it.

I'm not narcissistic about it. If London wants it and if the Lib- Dems want it, then I'll stand. Boris Johnson has proved that this city is mature enough to recognise the difference between character and policy."

However, several party insiders rejected the idea that Mr Opik, who has reinvented himself as a stand-up comedian, had the credibility needed to stand. Some MPs feel his election defeat -- the Tories overturned a 7,173 majority --was the price for a colourful lifestyle.

His long-term relationship with weather presenter Sian Lloyd ended when he began dating Cheeky Girl pop star Gabriela Irimia and he has also gone out with 22-year-old underwear model Katie Green.

The Lib-Dems will formally begin the selection process this autumn. Officials have discussed asking Lumley, who worked closely with the Lib-Dems on the Gurkha Justice campaign, to stand. Her spokeswoman said she was unlikely to run due to her "busy workload".

London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon is another possible contender. The winner is likely to face Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone.

A Fayette County jury found a Lemont Furnace man guilty of rape after a two-day trial.

Cedric Lamont Greer, 35, was charged last year with rape, robbery, terroristic threats and assault after police said DNA linked him to the 2005 assault.

In a criminal complaint, state police at Uniontown accused Greer of approaching a man and a woman as they were having consensual sex in a sport utility vehicle parked off a dead-end road in Georges on Aug. 27, 2005.

Police said Greer threatened the couple with a gun, then forced the woman to perform various sex acts.

Semen collected from the victim's sweater was found to be Greer's when compared in 2008 to DNA samples contained in the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, according to the affidavit.

CODIS is a database of convicted replicas miu miu criminals' DNA that is available to law enforcement agencies nationwide. Greer's DNA was on file because of his incarceration in state prison, according to the complaint.

In addition to rape, jurors delivered guilty verdicts on a single count of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and two counts of terroristic threats.

Judge Gerald R. Solomon dismissed charges of robbery, theft and aggravated assault after determining there was not enough evidence to convict, according to Assistant District Attorney Phyllis Jin.

Greer had been tried on the same charges once previously, in February. A mistrial was declared at that time because jurors could not reach verdicts on any of the counts.

Greer faces sentencing June 10 before Solomon.

Raymond Domenech's reign as France coach ended in acrimony and farce after his side exited at the first-round stage.

He refused to shake hands with South Africa counterpart Carlos Alberto Parreira following the host nation's 2-1 victory.

And the Brazilian was baffled at his behaviour. Parreira said: "I was very polite at the end of the game, but he claimed I had offended him.

"I have no idea why he would think that, no reason at all."

Domenech, who stripped Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra of the captaincy over the squad's training boycott, saw his side reduced religious Fashion Jewelry to 10 men in the 26th minute when Yoann Gourcuff was sent off.

Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda, who stepped off the bench to pull a goal back in the second half, apologised to the fans for France's abysmal performances.

He said: "Our behaviour wasn't exemplary."

Why on earth would anyone ride a motorcycle? They don't have airbags or crumple zones like cars, you get wet when it rains, they can fall over, there's no radio or heating and the licence system is baffling.

And yet, there are three million people in the UK alone from all walks of life - dustmen to doctors - with motorcycle entitlement on their driving licence. So are they all mad, or do they know something you don't? A survey by the AA asked commuters into London various questions, including: "Do you enjoy your commute?" Less than ten per cent of train users said "yes" and few more car drivers agreed. Bus and tube-users were little different.

No surprise there, but motorcyclists and scooter riders? About 66 per cent said they actively enjoyed the routine commute to work. Seems they really do know something you don't ...

Motorcycling is daunting to the uninitiated, no question. But get past the preconceptions and myths and you discover rush-hour journeys that take one-third of the time.

Then there's exhilaration, parking convenience, road rage and traffic frustration banished, lower running costs and fewer precious resources used (the planet's and yours). For smaller bikes are capable of 120mpg or more.

Then you discover that experiencing the cold, the wet, the sunshine and the wind, especially replica Chloe Handbags when you're touring and sightseeing, adds to the experience rather than getting in the way.

As for the dangers, these are much less than many people realise. There isn't motorcycle carnage out there on the roads - ordinary people are happily riding around and have been for years without incident.

The most important factor is your own attitude. Training also helps a lot.

Getting a licence isn't so difficult either. Especially once you've found a training school. It will lead you through the whole process. You can find local ones in the telephone directory, obtain details from any motorcycle dealer or at - the motorcycle industry's beginners' website.

And visiting more than one is worthwhile. You must trust and like your instructor, but the first one you see might not be ideal for you.

First you need to pass Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), which ensures basic competence to ride a two-wheeler on the road, even under supervision.

Boston-Celtic s

This starts with some simple theory about motorcycles and scooters, followed by practice with the controls, starting the bike and so on.

Then there's proper riding, the exciting bit, but all off the road in a safe environment.

Once you're competent with that, some more classroom work is followed by the whole point of what you're doing, riding on the road.

You won't go out until the instructor decides you're competent, and he or she, will be qualified and approved, so they do know.

With at least two hours' road riding done, you'll be issued a CBT certificate, which allows you to ride alone with L-plates on a bike or scooter up to 125cc.

If you learn on an automatic (almost all scooters) your licence won't let you later ride manual gearbox bikes.

But at this stage many people rent training school bikes anyway, so if you think you might need to ride a manual motorcycle (most of them) at a later date, learn on one.
