I was told about an insurance company requirement for rides in my area. When questioned, the bike shop owner who informed me of the requirement, admitted that the "requirement" was essentially nothing more than a device the local club leaders used to keep out casual and recreational cyclists who don't fit the profile of the self declared "serious" club member cyclists who dominate the rides. The insurance company connection to the "requirement" was totally bogus.
"other liability concerns" could require the prohibition of ANYTHING some worrywort wishes to imagine could be a liability concern, including riding a bicycle in any manner.

U. S. spokesmen said the eight-engme jet dropped about 360 tons of exp'.ossves near Laos in four raids Monday and Tuesday against mountain posi- tions overlooking the long A Shau Valley.

Navy tank landing ship, New London County. The blast caused minor flooding in the ship but spokesmen said there were no casualties among its crew of about 150 men. Military spokesmen said it was the first time in more than a that a major American Navy vessel had been damaged in a mining incident in Vietnam waters. Official sources said North Vietnamese forces, in the past three months, had moved back into the jung'ed A Shau alley, 375 miles northeast of Saigon. The basin is an important infiltration route from Laos to the northern cities of Hue and Da Nang. The 101st Airborne Division pushed the Communists back into Laos last vear in heaw fighting that .ncluded the battle for Hamburger Hill. The paratroopers withdrew 'as- '.ill when monsoon storms began socking in t: e The Communist buildup in the cources said, coincided with a North Vietnam- e.-e thrust into the populous Mekong Delta which might be designed to forte a read-on confrontation wi'h Sou'h forces there.

Bright sunshine lingered throughout the day and helped push the mercury to relatively mild levels during the afternoon, but as can be seen in this photo taken near Maysville High School, the snow did little melting. More light snow was predicted for today but temperatures are expected to continue moderating. Tuesday's early morning low in Zanesulle was a frigid seven degrees. Also Mentioned Dixie Senators Expect Nixon To Tap Southern Court Justice WASHINGTON (UPI) spite speculation that a AVest Coast judge is the leading candidate for the Supreme Court, Dixie senators still expect President Nixon to turn to the South again to fill the seat Clement F. Hajnsworth failed to win. The Justice Department has Informed Howard Baker, R-Tenn that published reports that Nixon has settled on Judge Louis H. Burke, 65. of the California Supreme Court are inaccurate. Baker is backing William E. Miller, Nashville, chief judge o! the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Baker emerged from a meeting with Attorney General John N. Mitchell with assurances Miller was still in the running. The seat has been vacant since May 15 when Abe Fortas resigned under fire for accept- ing a fee, which he later returned, from the family foundation of financier Louis Wolfson, jailed for selling unregistered securities. President Nixon is expected to send his new nomination to the Senate with- in a week. The Senate refused to confirm his first choice, Fed-era! Judge Haynsworth, of Greenville, S.C., because of his off-the-bench financial dealings. There were wide reports when Hayns-.vorth was selected that the nomination was part of Nixon's "southern strategy" for making Republican inroads into the Democratic South. Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylva- nia, the Republican floor leader who voted against Haynsworth, nonetheless suggested then that Nixon again look south of the Mason-Dixon line for his next nominee. He bsted four Virgin- ians for the President's consideration: U.S. District Judges Ted Dalton of Rich- mond: Oren Lewis of Alexan- dria, and Walter Hoffman of Norfolk. Inside Today's Times Recorder Bureaucrats Ignore Like every president before him, Richard Nixon has issued directives, delivered pronouncements, dictated memos and otherwise sought to bestir the vast federal bureaucracy. But also like even- past president, Nixon has made little impression on the bureaucrats who re- spectfully note the presidential stirrings and then go on doing as they have always done.

Communists Rcicritc History The Sovjet Communist Party has rewritten history to shift blame from Josef Stalin and his top military com- manders for failing to halt the Nazi invasion in 1941. For details please turn to Page 4-A To Dear Earl Financial Hospital End Of Civil War Celebrated LAGOS of Nigerians danced in the streets Tuesday to celebrate the fall of Biafra. Police fired tear gas into a large crowd that marched on the Roman Catho- lic secretariat after the govern- ment denounced Pcpe Paul VI as "mischievous and provoca- tive." Maj. Gen. Yakabu Gowon, the Nigerian chief of state, was luke.varm to the massive relief program being organized by the free world for victims of the 214-year civil war. But he gave permission for Britain to fly in 10 tons of medical supplies. (Biafran leader Odumegwu was reported Tuesday night to have fled to Sambia. Diplomat- ic sources in Lusaka said Gen. Ojukwu arrived by plane at the northern village of Mbala near the Tanzanian border sometime during the day Tuesday.) (The sources said Ojukwu, who led Biafra into secessic.i on May 30, 1967, would confer with Zambian President Ken- neth Kuanda and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere.) Gowon, speaking only hours after a statement in which he appealed for national unity, said Nigeria has tons of relief goods stockpiled in Lagos ready for distribution. Gowon said he was ready for peace talks with Gen. Philip Eiiiong, Biafra's new leader. Pope Paul became the target for displeasure in Lagos be- cause of hi-, statements ex- pressing fear that victorious federal troops under Gowon would massacre Biafrans. The Ibo tribesmen of Biafra are mostly Christians and the war was spawned by years of religious strife between the Ibos and the predominantly Moslem Hausas of northern Nigeria. tt-nle Nigenan Chilians cele- brated in the streets of Lagos Tuesday, army commanders in the jungles of Biafra offered full amnesty and protection in rebel troop1; who surrendered their weapons. Gowon ordered his soldiers to show mercy on the tattered, starving Ifao population, and they would shoot "only :f they encounter resistance Nigerians young and old turned out in Ixigos Tue-day for the victory celebrations. Some of the signs read ''Long live and Shame on The crowd marching on the Roman Catholic secretariat rapidly after the police fired tear gas canisters. Tne demonstrators other, more festive groups. An official Nigerian em- inent statement denouncing Pope Paul's statements on the end of the war as mischievous and provocative" deplored his fears of tribal genocide. The Vatican operates an extensive missionary service in Nigeria and other African nations. Support Sought In Education JACKSON7, Miss. John Bell Williams called for support Tuesday of private and public schools in Mississippi to preserve "quality education" for all children in the wake of the Supreme Court's total integration mandate. "The courts have forced on us a unitary public school told the state legislature, "but in doing so, they have brought into being a dual system of education' one public; the other, private." It was the governor's first major address since implemen- tation of the Supreme Court's October decree began last week in 30 of the state's 148 school districts. All but five of the 30 have resumed regular classes with no major incidents but there has been a massive uithdi_ :al by whites in heavily black areas. Williams urged the legislature to consider a proposal giving state tax credit to persons who assist in the financial support of either public or private schools. He said the past few days have shown that "thousands of Mississippi parents, white and black, will not accept the conditions imposed on their children's education by the courts. "It is to be expected that thousands more Mill follow suit as schools complete their first semester and enter into the next semester under the burden of these decrees." In the dnve to help private schools, however, Williams said public schools "remain, in the long run, the most practical means of mass education." Cr.il Rights leader Charles Evers charged that segregation by classes has sprung up in some schools involved in the decision. He singled out the Natchez-Adams County district. Chicago Judge Hails 0 In space Ex-Gang Chief Hero Cut Back CHICAGO (UPI) Criminal Court Judge Saul A. Epton knew Jim Hobson well. He had sent him to prison at least 43 times. So when Army Sgt. James Hobson, 24, walked into Epton's courtroom Tuesday, the judge called an immediate recess. Back in the old days, Hobson was a leader of the Vice Lords, one of Chicago's largest street gangs of teen-age toughs. "I ]ust can't tell you what a trouble-maker this fellow the judge recalled. -'He was the leader of a gang'of members and I felt he was responsible for most of their activities So, when I sent other Vice Lords to jail for a day or week, I sent him along." Yet it was Epton who recommended Hohson for the U.S. Army in 1967 despite hefty police record. "He had real leadership, just in the wrong Epton said. "I knew he'd wind up a hero or in the bug I just had my fingers crossed." F.pton can uncross his fingers. The soldier v.hn his court Tuesday is a wounded veteran of 14 months in Vietnam and holder of eight medals, including two presidential citations and a Bronze Star. "I feel so good I think I'll buy him a the judge said. Base Hit Near Cairo Israeli Warplanes Make Five Raids Against Egypt Targets By United Press International Israeli warplanes flew five raids against military installa- tions inside Egypt Tuesday, including an air base only eight miles from Cairo Jn their closest strike to the Egyptian capital since the 1967 Mideast War, Israeli spokesmen report- ed.

As you may already be aware, the introduction of the Flood Re scheme launches on 4th April 2016. Flood Re is a joint industry/government sponsored reinsurance fund owned by the UK insurance industry that has been designed to ensure flood insurance is both available and affordable for the 350,000 properties most at risk of flooding in the UK.
There are two costs associated with Flood Re, a ceding premium which is charged on those risks submitted to the pool and a levy which is a compulsory contribution made by all UK household insurers. This compulsory contribution, along with the recent IPT change out of the Budget are increases beyond our control and as such, will be passed onto customers. This equates to an average Flood Re levy of 3.6% for Hiscox customers however this will vary based on the proportion of buildings, contents and fine art under the policy. Hiscox are committed to stable pricing and as you'll be aware we have made no wholesale changes to our rates for the past five years.
Please read the factsheet and should you have any questions or comments, please do ask your Regional Underwriter.

You may have seen in the news that the Queen will be inviting 10,000 people to celebrate her 90th birthday next year, at the biggest sit down lunch the country has ever seen, on The Mall in London. I am delighted to tell you that Hiscox has been chosen to be the official insurer of the event.
Taking place on Sunday 12th June 2016, the street party is designed to celebrate The Queen's patronage of over 600 charities and organisations on the occasion of her 90th birthday. It will be a fabulous climax to a weekend of celebrations, starting with a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on the Friday, the Trooping the Colour on Saturday and culminating in The Patron's Lunch on the Sunday.
The street party itself is a huge undertaking. Joining the 10,000 people on The Mall will be Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry as well as other members of the Royal Family. Everyone will be able to enjoy the festivities from large screens situated in Green Park and St James's Park, and it is expected that street parties will be held throughout the country to coincide with the official event.
You can imagine the complexity of putting together the insurance for an event like this, but our long history of insuring complex and unusual risks, high profile events, and irreplaceable items of national importance mean we are well placed to be involved in what is sure to be a memorable day. We will be working closely with Palace officials, the event organisers, event partners and other suppliers on planning and risk management to ensure the event is a fitting success on such an occasion.
We'll share more on this in the months that follow, along with ways you can get involved, but in the meantime you can find out more at www.ThePatronsLunch.com.
We hope this example of our expertise in insuring events, whatever their size or complexity, will help you sell Hiscox when your clients approach you with their own insurance needs. You can view our Hiscox Event Insurance policy documents and sales literature here.

Hiscox has long recognised the importance of delivering superb service to our brokers and their clients, so in December 2014 we were proud to receive accreditation by the Institute of Customer Service. The Institute of Customer Service's ServiceMark is based on customer satisfaction and an assessment of employee engagement with an organisation's customer service strategy. In their report the Institute of Customer Service said that Hiscox's 'quality of service [was] apparent throughout' and that Hiscox 'embraced change and looked for improvement in order to differentiate itself from its competitors'. Only a handful of businesses have received the ServiceMark, which demonstrates our commitment to delivering great service at every level.

Seen on twitter: "I just checked into the @McDonald's #HotNSpicy McChicken commercial and earned points via #ViggleTV!"
Seriously, people. Pause. Take a deep breath. Not only did I not need to know that, it is not the way of the future. Why can't we focus our entrepreneurial "genius" on medical breakthroughs, fixing bridges, building rail, building schools, affordable housing, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, competent government, and stuff like that?
I think I commented here before that Twitter is the CB radio of the internet. Lots of garbage but occasionally you can get some useful info about where Smokey is. I guess it depends on who you follow? The political pundits use it mainly for career promos, links to their articles and TV appearances. As a neo-Luddite who makes a good living in tech, weren't we all better off before this cable TV/internet thing came along? I seem to recall hundreds of thousands marching in DC to protest the Vietnam war, before email, websites, cell phones, and cable TV.
Good observations. And yes,
(in reply to fletch)
Good observations. And yes, who you follow makes a difference in the signal to noise ratio. I find Twitter most useful for breaking news or live event summary coverage, although breaking news updates are frequently full of bogus info.
Sort of like breaking news
(in reply to R. Neal)
Sort of like breaking news updates on cable TV news. (Ah, the heady days of NFIB vs. Sebelius, when Fox trumpeted "SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN OBAMACARE... UM... WAIT WE DIDN'T READ PAGE 2.")
Heh. Great moments in
