Legislation requiring all smartphones and tablets sold in the state to have a 'kill switch' that would render the device unusable after stolen will be introduced on Friday in the California State House, according to The New York Times.
State Senator Mark Leno of California, a Democrat, is expected to introduce legislation requiring all smartphones and tablets sold in the state to include this kind of feature.
The bill, which is sponsored by George Gascón, San Francisco's district attorney, would require phones sold in California on or after Jan. 1, 2015, to include the antitheft solution. Companies that sold phones without kill switches would be subject to fines of up to $2,500 for each device sold.
If legislation is passed then the legislation would most likely push smartphone makers to add kill switches in all their devices in the country, because it would be inefficient for manufacturers to make cellphones meant to be sold only in California.
Almost 1 in 3 U.S. robberies involve phone theft, according to the Federal Communications Commission. Lost and stolen mobile devices -- mostly smartphones -- cost consumers more than $30 billion in 2012, according to an FCC study.
The study revealed that smartphone thefts reached highs in several metropolitan cities, and they rose again last year. In San Francisco, 2,400 cellphones were stolen last year, a 23 percent rise from 2012, according to the San Francisco police. Phone thefts also grew in other major cities, New York and Washington, D.C., last year, according to statistics from the police in those cities.
CTIA, the industry trade group that represents the cellphone carriers like AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile US will probably resist the legislation. Last year, CTIA said in a filing to the Federal Communications Commission that 'a kill switch isn't the answer.'
CTIA said that a kill switch would pose risks, because hackers who took control of the feature could disable phones for customers, including the phones used by officials in the Department of Defense and in law enforcement.
Retrieving a stolen phone would pose a problem as it could not be reactivated but Apple has a solution. The new antitheft feature, Activation Lock, on Apple allows a customer to disable a phone that has been lost as well as reactivate it with the correct user name and password after the device has been found.
Michael Altschul, senior vice president and general counsel for CTIA, said the carriers moved quickly to work with government and law enforcement officials to address cellphone theft. He said the group had helped create a nationwide database for deactivating cellphones that have been reported stolen.
However, the nationwide database would not assist phones taken overseas.
In October, New York State Senator Jeffrey D. Klein, a Bronx Democrat, introduced a bill to go after the sellers of stolen phones by making it illegal for any business in the state to buy or sell a used smartphone without proof of legitimate ownership. The bill is sitting in a Senate committee.
Hopefully, California will lead to a new effort in reducing the theft of smartphones and tablets. 'With robberies of smartphones reaching an all-time high, California cannot continue to stand by when a solution to the problem is readily available,' Senator Leno said in a statement.

Freshman Daniel Rankin earned the first win of his collegiate career in Tulane's 3-0 victory over Northwestern State
March 5, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - After senior starter David Napoli left the game in the top of the second inning, three freshman pitchers combined to throw eight shutout innings of relief in Tulane's 3-0 win over Northwestern State Tuesday night at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Daniel Rankin, Emerson Gibbs and Ian Gibaut allowed only seven hits over eight innings, combining to strikeout eight Northwestern State (6-7) batters, while only walking one. Rankin (1-0) pitched the longest, going 4.0 innings for his first collegiate win. The game marked the third time this season Tulane (7-6) has shutout an opponent.
"I was really excited to see what they (the freshman pitchers) did tonight," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "The ball wasn't carrying well, so we really had to pound the strike zone to give ourselves a chance. I thought our guys did a really good job at that."
Napoli got the start on the day - his first of the season - and walked the Demon leadoff hitter, Toby Cornejo to start the contest. With two outs, he then allowed a single to catcher Nick Purdy. However, Cornejo - who had moved to second on a steal - attempted to score on the single to left field, but junior Andrew Garner rocketed a throw to home to gun Cornejo down at the plate for the third out of the inning.
Tulane didn't take long to put runs on the board, scoring two in the bottom of the first. With two outs, senior Brandon Boudreaux singled up the middle before senior Sean Potkay walked to put runners at first and second. The both advanced a bag on a passed ball dealt by Northwestern State starter Andrew Adams, who subsequently gave up a two-RBI single to Garner - his 11th and 12th RBIs of the season. It turned out to be the only runs that Tulane would need.
"My two-out approach hasn't been great as of late, and Coach Jones has already talked about it, with all the hitters, and we changed a few things, and it really worked tonight," said Garner. "I was really just trying not to do too much. We decided that it was best to try and hit the ball to the opposite field, widen out our stance, and choke up on the bat in order to improve our two-out hitting."
When Tulane took the field in the top of the second inning, Jones pulled Napoli before throwing a pitch due to an injury he sustained in the top of the first. Jones then dipped into his bullpen, using Rankin to stave off any run Northwestern State might put together.
Rankin started off shaky, allowing hits to Edwin Gomez, Cort Brinson and Zach Costa in the second inning before getting out of trouble. He retired the next five batters that he faced before walking Cornejo with two outs in the fifth. However, he got Garrett Kilgore to ground out to end the fifth.
In the sixth, fellow freshman Gibbs came on in relief of Rankin in the top of the sixth. After getting two groundball outs from Will Watson and Purdy, he allowed a single to Matt Baca before ending the inning by striking out Gomez.
The Demons replaced Adams with Logan Shaftner to begin the sixth. Adams (0-1) went five innings, allowing five hits, two runs (one earned) and striking out five. Despite the pitching change, Tulane added an extra run in the sixth when junior Bowen Woodson brought Garner home on an RBI single.
Gibbs continued his dominance, retiring the side in the seventh inning, before allowing a one-out single to Watson in the eighth. At that point, Jones brought in Gibaut to close out the game. Gibaut - making his fifth appearance of the season - struck out Purdy for the second out before he walked Baca. A passed ball advanced both Watson and Baca into scoring position. To end the threat, Gibaut used a breaking to down Gomez on strikes for his second strikeout of the inning.
In the ninth, Gibaut recorded three straight outs for his first save of his career.
For the game, Middleton was 1-for-3 and extended his hitting streak to 12 straight games - a career-best. Boudreaux was 3-for-4 at the plate, and Potkay went 2-for-3 with a walk - the only bases on balls issued to Tulane on the evening. Freshman Cameron Burns and senior Garrett Cannizaro also added hits.
Senior Blake Crohan started his first game since he injured his shoulder during the season opening win over Sam Houston State. He got the start in center field, but went 0-for3 at the plate.
Redshirt sophomore Randy LeBlanc will make his first start of the season against Northwestern State on Wednesday, when the Demons return to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium for a 2pm CST tilt. LeBlanc made his season debut on Sunday, pitching one inning in Tulane's 12-6 loss against Alabama. The Demons will send lefty junior Cody Butler to the mound for the game.
The game will be broadcast on the flagship station for Tulane baseball, 106.1 The Ticket. Live stats will be made available through TulaneGreenWave.com.

UCLA Softball on Twitter | UCLA Softball on Facebook
2014 UCLA Softball Media Guide
LOS ANGELES - Junior Ally Carda broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run homer in the sixth inning and also earned the win in relief on Sunday, as the second-ranked Bruins scored all five of their runs with two outs in a 5-2 victory over Stanford at Easton Stadium.
The Bruins improve to 46-5 overall and 17-4 in Pac-12 play, while the Cardinal fall to 29-23 and 4-17 in league action.
Carda moved to 27-3 on the year, allowing a run, four hits and two walks in three innings. Senior Jessica Hall started and struck out two in four innings, giving up a run, two hits and two walks. At the plate, the Bruins had six hits, as freshman Delaney Spaulding recorded a pair, while junior Stephany LaRosa walked four times.
Stanford scored in the first inning without the benefit of a hit. With one out, Kayla Bonstrom and Kylie Sorenson were hit by pitches and Erin Ashby walked to load the bases. Cassandra Roulund followed with a sacrifice fly to left to plate Bonstrom with the game's first run.
After leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the first, the Bruins scored twice in the second. With one out, sophomore Brittany Moeai walked and was pinch-run for by freshman Robyn Corruth, who moved to second on a single to left by sophomore Allexis Bennett. Carda flied out to right for the second out of the inning, as Corruth tagged for third, but Bessie Noll's throw to third short-hopped into the UCLA dugout, as Corruth was awarded home and Bennett advanced to third. Spaulding followed with a double to left-center to plate Bennett to put the home team up 2-1.
Stanford evened the score with a run in the fifth. Bonstrom walked to start the inning, and one out later, moved to second on a passed ball. Two batters later, Noll atoned for her error with a single to left to score Bonstrom and even the game.
In the bottom of the sixth, UCLA scored three times to go ahead. With one out, Moeai walked, but was erased at second when Bennett grounded into a fielder's choice to short. Carda followed with a homer to left-center, her 11th of the season, to put the Bruins up 4-2. UCLA added another two-out run when Spaulding singled to left and stole second. After a LaRosa walk, sophomore Mysha Sataraka singled to left to bring in Spaulding to make it 5-2.
The Bruins conclude their regular season next weekend in Tempe at Arizona State. All three games, Thursday, May 8 at 7 p.m., Friday, May 9 at 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 10 at 3:30 p.m., will air on Pac-12 Networks.

STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford women's gymnast Shona Morgan was named to the Capital One Academic All-District team, as announced by the organization this week.
The honor recognizes student athlete's-success in athletics and in the classroom. First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be announced the first week of June.
Morgan was a 2014 First Team All-American on bars and placed ninth in the event at the NCAA Individual Event Finals. She is a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection (2012-14), a two-time NACGC/Women's Scholastic All-American (2012, 2013) and holds a 3.86 GPA as a human biology major.
Morgan, a 2008 Olympian from Melbourne, Australia, was one of Stanford's most consistent competitors during her time with the team. She primarily performed in the leadoff position to ensure a strong start on events. She recorded career-highs on bars (9.900) and beam (9.950) during her senior season.
To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution.

NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.

The View From 240 Miles Above Earth
Astronaut Don Pettit, currently residing 240 miles above Earth on the International Space Station has the advantage of a unique vantage point. He explains how he created this image: "I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." Eighteen images were combined to create this composite so that the motion of the ISS in orbit creates the blur of star trails and city lights on the Earth below.
Bad Astonomy blogger Phil Plait unpacks the image further in a recent post on Discover.com:
"The brown and green glow over the horizon is the atmospheric aerosol layer; molecules that absorb sunlight during the day and release that energy at night. The red glow above that puzzles me; I've written about it before. It might be a reflection of lights from inside the space station, but I suspect it's actually the aurora; it follows the curve of the Earth, and as you can see from the star trails the camera was pointed toward the poles — the direction you're likely to see an aurora."

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Tulane Head Coach Rick Jones
(opening statement)
"It was a heck of a ballgame. It was one we had to pitch and play well defensively to stay in it and we did both. Brian's catch was big momentum turner for us. It's something we're not unaccustomed to seeing for him."
(on Oregon State team) "I liked their balance at the plate. Reminds me of our club in 2001. Their hitters are good and you have to pitch to them. Defensively they're sound and they made all the plays. They are a very solid club, well-coached and we had to play great to beat them."
Right fielder Brian Bogusevic
(on his catch with the bases loaded)
"When I saw it come off the bat I thought it could be caught. I was just out there trying to make plays. When Micah is pitching that well, anything we can do behind him defensively, we owe it to him."
Pitcher Micah Owings
(on Bogusevic's catch)
"It is one of the best catches I've ever seen. You've got to tip your hat to the defense today."
(on his hard slide into second base) "The only thing I was thinking about doing was going in hard. You're taught to go in sliding with your hands up. I wasn't intentionally trying to grab him because I'm not that type of player. I don't like to be thought of as a dirty player."
Oregon State Head Coach Pat Casey
(about his inquiry about the possible interference call at second base)
"He told me there was no contact. Between all four of them, they said there was no contact."
(about whether that call affected the game)
"I haven't seen the replay so I can't tell you if it affected the game. If there was contact and they called interference, then we would have gotten out of the inning with no runs. If there was contact, it was a big part of the game but there are a lot of things that affect the game."
(about catch in the 6th inning)
"It certainly got them going. I thought Cole (Gillespie) hit the ball well. The guy made one heck of a catch."
Starting Pitcher Jonah Nickerson
(about his pitching performance)
"I thought I had a good fastball and was changing my speeds good. I thought I was keeping them off balance most of the game. The ball in the gap I think I didn't get it in enough. I left it a little too much in the middle."
First Baseman Andy Jenkins
(about Micah Owings' pitching performance)
"I thought he had a good command of his fastball. We did not see too much of his junk. He came right at us."
(on the atmosphere)
"I was a little more nervous watching Nebraska play last night in the stands than I was today. On the field you just don't see it."
Centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury
(about Micah Owings' pitching performance)
"I didn't make the necessary adjustments needed to make."
(on losing today)
"Obviously we're very disappointed, but it's a double elimination tournament and we only have one loss. We're not ready to go home yet."

2011 Mead Roubaix Road Race
What a day for a epic race. The new Mead Roubaix course did not disappoint. Not only was the course extremely hard, the weather made things even more difficult. With a steady and sometime gusty wind out of the west, the afternoon fields shattered on the first lap. By the end of the second lap the Mens 35+ field was down to 4 or 5 guys and the Mens P-1-2 field had two guys off the front with 6 to 8 chasing.

The 2011 Mead Roubaix Race should be equally as great as the ever popular Boulder Roubaix. Since the Boulder Roubaix will not be held in 2011 take that Roubaix energy you have up to Mead and race on a course that could show nearly as much promise that the Boulder Roubaix has to offer.
2011 Mead Roubaix - What You Need To Know
Date: April 10, 2011
Start/Finish: Downtown Mead, Colorado
Course: 19.4-mile loop with mix of pavement (66%) and hardpack dirt road (34%)
Race Distances: Majority of competitors will race 38.8 miles, 58.2 miles or 77.6 miles depending on category (full race day schedule coming soon).
Climbing: 950 feet per lap
Crux: Sharp, 300-foot dirt road climb on Weld County Road 7, which begins just 4.4 miles from finishline
What about Boulder Roubaix: In an effort to not abuse privileged road access or burn out local host communities, DBC Events is operating Boulder
Roubaix on an every-other-year basis. This also allows DBC Events to bring bicycle racing to other Colorado communities, further developing this amazing sport we all love.

The point was that outcome doesnt prove the safety or prudence of the circumstances. Theres lots of comaprisons (s)he could have made. but the point is, that saying "only a few people got hurt = reasonably safe course" is a logical fallacy.

But no amount of recon or eqipment or assessment matters if the guy 2 guys in front of you goes down in soft dirt at 25mph and takes 20 guys with him.
No one is arguing that racing isnt risky, but there are accetable degrees of risk and a tipping point where such risk is irresponsible.
I think the folks here who are concerned are arguing that the big field plus soft fast dirt downhill was unreasonable.

I doubt the folks in the hospital think they we're lucky. Howabout zero casualties? No deep sand at the bottom of a descent = no casualties.

Or think about how many crashes you watched in the real Paris-Roubaix. Those guys are the best around and they were falling like mad. Thinking the Mead-Roubaix is "inherently dangerous" is preposterous. Riders may have been legimately scared of sections but that doesn't make it "inherently dangerous".

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
All racing is "inherently dangerous". The question here is whether this course was "unreasonably dangerous. Given the experience and expecations of amateur cyclists likely to be in this race, was a fast loose downhill right after a pavement to dirt transition, that bottoms out with really soft 2-3 inch deep dirt, early enough in the flat course that there wasnt likely to be much seperation, and stacking fields so that 150+ racers started within a minute of eachother, unreasonably dangerous? I think it was.
60 mile cross race
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Strong winds, deep sand, and crashes made this feel more like a 60 mile cross race ridden on a road bike.
I pre-rode the course on Wednesday for the third time. Conditions on Sunday had vastly changed and deteriorated in sections since my pre-ride just a couple of days before. Seeing the the crazy loose sand and witnessing two consecutive knarly crashes on CR3 was a good recipe for for quite a bit of initial shock in that section. Course conditions were probably very different due to earlier races, but I also think road work that was supposedly done on Friday and Saturday actually made the dirt portions worse. Pre-riding the course would not have prepared me for this unless unless I rode a lap right before the start of my race.

Well organized, well marshalled, great venue, cool atmosphere. Course was super. The conditions were difficult, but that is a plus - not a minus. You race the conditions that are present on race day. Bad weather, rough roads, soft gravel. That is a roubaix style race. You prepare for that by training, recon, proper equipment, looking ahead, and staying focused on the task. Diverse courses and events are one of the best thing in cycling. Thanks to the many volunteers and dedicated folks who make our races possible!

I'm glad we have people like Grealish in Colorado because you can always count on an epic and well organized race from him. Reading comments like Pete's make me fairly certain I won't be missing this race next year.
Pete I agree, but come race diverse events on the road!
Submitted by Jordan (not verified) on
It is funny to read what you say Pete, but yet you never race on the road. So the reality is you say diversity of road events is great, but then you only do one a year that fits exactly what your main strength (and you are a strong mo fo, that is not meant any other way).
So as Dan said if you guys like deversity of events, back it up and come race some paved RR, a few crits, maybe somthing hilly. Your history say you do not like diversity, you only race the events that are in your wheel house. I love seeing Jake Well have at it in road events.
Personally I thought was the course was OK, not great. If the two sand pits were hard pack I would have said it was a real good race. When a road event is decided by who walks and who rides a section, that is just not what I like.
Two other points, registration was a joke and for how long these guys have been doing it, there is no excuse. Pre-reg line was 30 guys long with 2 volutneers. Walk up was 2 riders long, alos with 2 volunteers. Come on CG you guys can do better, why make it harder on the pre reg guys? Also it was exactly the same at the 2010 Roubaix, you need to learn from it. The start was a little nuts two with all the fields mushed together. Someone needed to seperate the fields and call them up seperately.

Thanks! You're right, I should do a few more road races!
When I was racing seriously back in the 90's, I did a lot of road races between mountain bike races. Crits, hill climbs, TTs, all of it. But I hung up the wheels in 99 and it is only the past couple years that I've gotten back into racing, and primarily just focused on 'cross. Last year I did 2 road races, a handful of MTB races, and 5 months of cross. I love doing fun road races that have interesting courses when I can. But I also try to save my energies for fall/winter.

This a different type of "road" race
Submitted by Dan Schmatz (not verified) on
Love it or hate it was interesting. Take away the two really deep sand sections and the course would have been as good or better as previous boulder roubaixs and better than the ones we did the race started/finished at the rez.
As far as front range road racing it was a good course and the wind made it a tactical bike race. I personally don't like to get off my bike and run in a road race but I'm sure some people seemed fine with it. If the course is the same next year the attendance will be the decider of peoples overall opinion.

no running/hiking here. Was able to ride up all three times, must have been one of the few times my "wide load" helped.

I knew I'd likely have to dismount so I planned ahead
Submitted by lonefrontranger (not verified) on
I prerode the course and I'm not strong enough to power thru the uphill sand pits, so I made an easy swap - traded out my speedplays for eggbeaters + MTB shoes. This plus running tubulars was the best equipment decision I've ever made. I managed to ride up the first lap, but was forced off on the second lap and was able to remount smoothly without any trouble. I jogged past a couple guys who were trying to ride it and fishtailing, so depending on your gear and your power to spin it, running would be faster than riding anyway. And I'm not a fast runner by any stretch.

Colorado hosts numerous events through out the race season. If you feel a race may not suit your style of racing than please do not race it. Your amateur race career is notdependent on a single RR.

You need to harden up, or maybe the ACA needs to have specific course requirements for multiple amateur categories? Ie "Masters 45-50, Paved, no disc wheels, less than 1000ft climbing" category. That way the race matches the level of difficulty that racers think they should have to face. It is bike racing and as long as the promoter has ambulances on site, I would argue that all open roads are fair game and there should be no assumption that courses will be catered to rider's specific abilities or needs.

I am one of the folks who voiced concern about the CR3 section of the race in the comments below. But I want to be clear I'm not calling the promoters irresponsible. I think it was a really exciting, well run event, and I'm grateful for the promoters work and for the support of the city and various law enforcement groups. I offer my two cents in good faith and I hope no one holds it against me, even if we disagree. at heart we all want good challenging exiting racing and if we differ on acceptable levels of risk and safety measures, then we're all entitled to disagree here and let the market and the promoters decide based on attendence and feedback.
I think it should be noted
Submitted by Grant (not verified) on
I think it should be noted that it was not a race dominated by crossers. The pro race was podiumed by road racers and the 35+'s was won by a roadie as well. Just because Pete and Robson race cross doesn't mean they do not have a strong road pedigree. Those guys would be the strongest out there at Deer Trail and Hugo as well. The course in my mind was as safe as you made it. Most of the crashes, including one by my significant, other were caused by pushing the limits of one's ability. I did it all day and was lucky enough to stay upright. It was a great race. I understand people's concerns, but if there was no soft sand, wouldn't we be hearing that it was too easy? I have no doubt.

Great point - encapulates everything we are saying
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I think you point above is the essence of the matter. You could not race a criterium if there was an unswept, gravel strewn course. I also think of it this way....at what point do the conditions result in a course or section of the course where the equipment typically used by the peloton no longer is commensurate with the challenge. You could in theory say HTFU and force road cyclists to traverse off-road single-track over tree roots, and just say it is part of the challenge. But at some point you have designed a course which surpasses the combination of equipment, speed, and number of riders hitting that challenge at the same time. Yes - Paris-Roubaix is difficult, hard on the body and overall there are crashes. However, I do not believe they send the riders along cobbles down steep descents, nor do the cobbles present challenges which a road bike cannot handle. But soft sand, on a decent? In a mountain bike or cross race, go at it.
Again - CR3 was not dangerous if you were already dropped or riding in a small group. It was dangerous when taken into combination with guys, riding at high speed, on road bikes into 3-4" deep sand. Maybe if there were officials at the start of that section with huge warning signs to slow down, and be careful, it would have changed everything. But adrenaline, competitive spirit and the essence of the moment result in everyone collectively barreling into that section of the race at a speed too high for a group that size.

So Koppenberg is around the corner, what can be learned here?
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Koppenberg is just around the corner and while it may not suffer from the looseness that sections of Roubaix had it has it's own issues, for example weather is a constant problem that is argued on. Some do not want any mud at all and if there is it should be canceled, there can also be wicked washboard, some looseness on the edges and the bridge can be an issue especially since most fields go crazy/dangerously fast and wide on the lead up to the hill on lap 1. Wind is also another, when is too much wind really too much?
What can we do as racers to set what is acceptable racing conditions (keep in mind this is very relative per the racer because many felt Roubaix was great)
What can the ACA do? Should events like Roubaix, Koppenberg, etc get a different category than that of Road Race? Something like Dirt Road Race which means this event does not hold to the same standard of a RR?
Should Koppenberg have neutral start until the hill?
I think field size is a big
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I think field size is a big issue on gimmick courses like MR and Kopp.
Especially when they combine fields like they did yesterday.
So you have 35+3 and 3 start together, racing together but scored seperately. but just off the top of my head, Trip Wall, who got 3rd in SM3, is 37 or 38 and beat Greg Scanlon who nominally won 35+3, even though they were in the same race, started at the same time, and were working together, and Tripp beat him by 5 minutes. But because Tripp checked off a different box, Scanlon gets the W.
That system doesnt make any sense to me, and means that you have a GIGANTIC single field starting. and at Kopp, like MR, theres NOTHING to thin or break up the field before the gimmick. Looks like Kopp has them starting seperately, so it shouldnt be as big a problem as it was at MR, but i dont get why, with a circuit as long as MR, they had to pack the start times so tight.
As long as they keep the corners groomed at Kopp, its not a deathtrap. Sure, people fall and crash on the wall, but its usually more comical than dangerous, due to the low speed.
Kopp Last Year, 35+ 3s run
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Kopp Last Year, 35+ 3s run as a separate field from 3s/35+ was fine. It was a very safe field, as the dirt road at Koppenburg is hard packed and ride-able. (If it snows, the hill is not ride-able, but still not dangerous.)
Keep 35+ 3s separate from 3s or 35+ when possible. If people want to race the 3s or 35+, then they can sign up with them.
great race but..clean uo CR3,and don't combine the fields
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I loved that it was a hard race, and that it challenged my handling skills. I like the idea of a separate category for these races (Roubaix class?)
But allowing the big fields to hit the sand at the bottom of the hill was asking for problems. The uphill sands pits made this epic. If possible, scrape the sand off the bottom of CR3, and grade it back after the day is done. If that can't be done... maybe a yellow caution flager just before the section to warn the riders. (not everyone can pre-ride the course)
Start the fields based on their speed: 1-2-Pros, 35+, 45+, 3s, 35+s, woman, 4s. In the midwest, packs were required to stay separate. The motos would ensure a caught pack had to slow down and give the overtaking one space. (dropped riders could work together, but not sit in a following pack) that just keeps it safer for all. That also prevents breaks from catching a group, taking a couple of seconds break then moving on.

The dirt sections of Koppenberg are mostly flat or uphill. I've only raced it when it's been dry, but even on 21 road slicks, it didn't seem sketchy at all.
I spent yesterday drinking beer at the Avs game because I had a bad feeling about the Mead race, even though it sounds like it was a fun event for most.
And as I stated below, starting the SM3/35+/35+3 together is a bad idea. Is giving each group a couple of minutes of space really going to kill the schedule? It's almost like it was done to stir the pot a little.
Why is defending the CR3
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Why is defending the CR3 descent so important to some people?
LOTS of people who otherwise liked the course have agreed that CR3 was unnecessarily dangerous as staged, and yet a couple of macho meatheads keep making fun and HTFUing.
How did that section make the race more awesome and what in thier opinion would have been lost in making that descent safer, or rerouting the course to avoid it?

Tour of the Battenkill has hard packed dirt.

Im guessing you have never raced Battenkill
Submitted by Scott Tietzel (not verified) on
As stated you probably shouldn't be comparing Mead Roubaix to another event which you most likely have not raced. I have done the pro race at Battenkill the last two years. last year it was hard packed, very smooth, cold and raining. The year before it was dry, loose, had big gravel, potholes and honestly was not that far off of Sundays race conditions. to illustrate the differences last year my team was on clincher tires/ wheels and had no problem and that was the same across the board. In 2009 with 25 team cars to service SRAM with 2 support cars ran out of spare wheels on the first of two 60 mile laps. My team on tubulars had 6 flats. Very different conditions, dirt roads are not always dirt roads......

Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra: Dickie's Dream
Dickie's Dream
Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra
We Are MTO (Mowo 3204)
Steven Bernstein (trumpet),
Clark Gayton (trombone), Doug Wieselman (clarinet), Peter Apfelbaum (tenor sax), Erik Lawrence (baritone sax), Matt Munisteri, Doug Wamble (guitars), Charles Burnham (violin), Ben Allison (bass), Ben Perowsky (drums).
Composed by Count Basie & Lester Young.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, May 23-24, 2005
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra can play an old territory band-type of arrangement with the precision of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, or take a looser, more progressive and playful route, such as Sun Ra would with a Fletcher Henderson piece. Years of honing their skills at the Tonic club on New York's Lower East Side have given the MTO formidable expressive power, unlimited flexibility and great rapport.
Basie's orchestra of course began as a territory band, and the classic "Dickie's Dream" was first recorded in 1939 by Basie's smaller Kansas City Seven, featuring solos by Buck Clayton, Lester Young and Dickie Wells. Bernstein based his arrangement, however, on the all-star big band fronted by Basie on CBS-TV's memorable The Sound of Jazz special from 1957. (In his liner notes, Bernstein mistakenly credits the 1957 arrangement to Andy Gibson; it was in fact written by Nat Pierce.) A Freddie Green-styled guitar riff and bustling drum accents launch the track, and the band enters playing the insistent theme with an authentic-sounding harmonic texture. A guitar fill precedes Gayton's fluently swinging trombone solo, unrelenting guitar riffs spurring him on. Burnham's slow-burning violin improv invokes both Claude Williams and Stuff Smith, as horn figures blare behind him. Apfelbaum grabs your attention from his first pungent phrase, which he then embellishes and amplifies creatively for the rest of his solo. Guitarist Wamble is next, in a Django Reinhardt mode, followed by Munisteri leaning more towards Charlie Christian. The band drops in still more riffs as the guitars exchange gliding passages. The wailing out chorus is riveting, augmented by Perowsky's rousing and unfettered big band drumming.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jonathan Holt (photo above) has been arrested after Whitney Heichel's phone was recovered. Whitney Heichel's cell phone was found Thursday by children playing four miles from her home. Whitney had been missing since Tuesday. But late Friday, Jonathan Holt (no Facebook account yet confirmed) was arrested.
Two girls playing found the phone in brush near the Troutdale Terrace Apartments. But Elizabeth Spencer tells KATU that Whitney had problems parking her SUV on Monday night, one day before her disappearance. "She just said she hadn't been feeling good and was tired," Spencer said. "She actually had asked me, she goes, 'Can you come over here for a minute?' She asked if she had bumped the car in front of her. I said, 'No. You're about two inches away from it, actually. I was like, 'Do you want me to just re-park it for you?' She said, 'Yeah,' kind of embarrassed to ask."
The children were shocked by the discovery of Whitney's phone. Their parents were surprised as well. "I was pretty shocked. I mean I knew right away…I recognized the face," April Fletcher, the mother of one the girls, told ABC News. "[The kids] started flipping through some of the text messages…and there was one from [someone named] Scott that was trying to find out, 'Where are you. Are you okay?'" Fletcher told news.
Clinton Heichel tells news that Whitney's recovered SUV had been damaged extensively. He tells ABC "She had a little dangling bead thing from the rear view mirror that had been ripped off; the back seats were down, which was odd; there was a rubber mat and the carpet that was in the back and those were on top of the seats."
On Friday, Whitney's remains were found. A police tip pointing at Holt. Officials tell news that Holt knew both Heichel and had lived in her apartment complex. "Words can't begin to express the sadness that our family is experiencing tonight," said family spokesman Jim Vaughn in a news statement last night. "This has been the most traumatic thing that has happened to us, not only as Whitney's family, but her spiritual family as well, because we are so close."

Rock's #1 Groupie's Conquest List
"Sweet Connie" Hamzy, judging by this list of her conquests, has to be the one of the top rock groupies of all-time. She is already one of the most famous groupies, having been immortalized in a line in Grand Funk's "We're An American Band." This list was compiled based on over an hour of Connie's groupie stories when she was interviewed in 2010 on the Howard Stern Show. Of course, Howard was able to cajole an almost unlimited amount of groupie confessions from the proud Ms. Hamzy, so we think this is a pretty comprehensive list, though we're sure she forgot some.
Connie's base was Arkansas, and it looks like she serviced a large percentage of bands who came to her town and helped party it down over her long career in the 70s and 80s (and we believe, even the tail end of the 60s). Also, as evidenced by the least-talented musician on this list, Vanilla Ice (Bill Clinton does have some minor skill on the sax), Connie had something going on in the 90s, though we hope for everyone's sake she has settled into a graceful retirement at this point.
Connie admitted on the show that her specialty was of the oral nature. Central to her success was the fact that she did an awful lot of favors for the various roadies of the touring rock stars. Groupies have been immortalized in movies like Almost Famous, but we have to give it up to Connie who was a true workhorse, judging by the rockers on this list.
These rock stars - some of whom are quite surprising to see here - are ranked in the order we felt like ranking them here at Celebrity Hookups central. Wonder if Connie ever made a celeb sex tape with any of these famous men? Her heyday was a bit ahead of the time where celebrity sex tapes were a big thing, but still, a Huey Lewis starring celebrity sex tape would be...interesting.
Connie is one of the most famous groupies of all time. So who were her greatest conquests? Take a look here and see.

- 3
The only non-musician on the list. Per Connie, the "job" was not finished.

Hallie Dewey Named Harrow Sports College Squash Player of the Week
Trailing 2-0 in a match her teammates desperately needed, sophomore Hallie Dewey mounted a major comeback against Harvard's Isabelle Dowling and helped the Tigers topple the reigning Ivy League and national champion.
Dewey, who has battled injuries throughout her first two years, dug herself out of a big early hole to win 5-11, 10-12, 11-3, 11-6, and 11-9 at the No. 8 position. At the time, it was Princeton's third victory against the formerly unbeaten Crimson. Freshman Rachel Leizman fought off a match ball for the fourth win, and junior Alex Sawin capped the match with a 3-1 win at the No. 7 spot.
It was an impressive performance by Dewey, especially to head coach Gail Ramsay.
"Hallie has unfortunately been a little riddled with injuries over the last two years," Ramsay said. "I feel like she hasn't been at her physical best, but coming back from a 2-0 deficit in that situation in that vital spot was quite impressive. That win will really add to her confidence."
Princeton is now off until Jan. 30, when the Tigers will host fifth-ranked Penn at 5 pm at the Jadwin Squash Courts. This has grown into one of the top rivalries in the nation, though the Quakers have had the best of it in the regular season recently. Penn has won four of the last five meetings during the season, including a 6-3 win in Philadelphia last season; Princeton, however, has won four of the last five matches played in Jadwin Gym, including a 7-2 quarterfinal win during the 2011 Howe Cup.
Penn will come into the match with a 1-1 record in league play, which includes a 6-3 home loss to Harvard. The Penn-Harvard competition included three matches that went five games, as well as three others that went four.

Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Disc-Brake Road Wheel - Tubular $1,370.00
The future of wheels.
If you're serious about going fast, then you're probably serious about Zipp wheels. But, if you need to exploit every available advantage, the Zipp 303 Firecrest Tubular Disc Wheel takes the pronounced benefits of Firecrest technology and adds disc brakes into the equation. So, whether you're racing on the road or getting dirty on the 'cross course, you'll enjoy the enhanced braking power and modulation of the 303 Firecrest Disc wheel.
The layup of the rim hasn't changed from Zipp's venerable 303 Firecrest tubular. That may come as a surprise, as disc brakes negate the need for a braking surface. However, Zipp's engineers found that the 303 Firecrest rim is already optimized in terms of strength and weight, so there wasn't an advantage to be had by changing the rim profile. However, there is one notable change from the rim-brake version, and that's the brake track itself. The standard 303 Firecrest uses a high-abrasion brake track, and the disc brake wheels receive no such treatment. As such, even though there is a vertical sidewall, the 303 Firecrest disc wheels are not compatible with rim brakes.
It follows that the disc version of the 45mm deep 303 Firecrest provides the same advantages as its rim-brake counterpart. The Firecrest shape refers to a wider rim profile. Extensive research has proven that this wider rim shape enhances the grip of your tires by increasing the size of the contact patch, and increasing the air volume of the tire. Not only does it improve grip, but because the increased air volume allows tires to deform more naturally over irregularities in the road, the wider rim profile enables these wheels to roll faster than comparable wheels using a narrower rim. Putting that extra rubber on the ground is especially noticeable on tubulars, where the stability gained lets you enter turns faster and carry better speed. In the spirit of quickness, the 303 Disc wheels retain the dimpled surface of the original. Like a golf ball, those dimples create a minor aerodynamic disturbance, effectively creating a pillow of air around the wheel that enables it to cut through the air with less drag.
For the 303 disc wheels, Zipp employs the latest version of their renowned 88/188 hubset. Like previous iterations, it rolls on custom Swiss-made stainless steel bearings, which are considered to be among the smoothest in the industry. Unsurprisingly, the rear hub features a longer 11 speed compatible freehub, so you'll enjoy compatibility with the latest generation of drivetrains, including SRAM's new Red 22 groupset. The significant change is the addition of a six-bolt disc rotor mount. Accordingly, the rear hub is spaced at 135mm, or five millimeters wider than a standard rear wheel. That ensures compatibility with the current generation of disc-equipped road bikes.
To cope with the added loads that disc brakes impart, SRAM's engineers have made some modifications to the spoke layout. Where the rim-brake 303 Firecrest uses radial lacing on the non-drive side of the rear wheel, the disc version gets a 'virtual' three-cross build. And in case you're not sure what the 'virtual' means, it's just a reference to the fact that the spokes cross each other at 3 points, but only make contact with one another at two points. Basically, this reduces the occurrence of wind-up when you hit the brakes, so your stopping is sharp and responsive, instead of being vague.
The Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Tubular Disc-Brake Wheel is sold individually and in the colors Black with White Labels or Black with Black Labels. Please note that the rear wheel is available with a either a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo 11-speed compatible freehub body.

Summer is here. You don't want to be stuck in the kitchen cooking with the hot stove or oven. Go to the beach or a pool party with the kids and let your crock pot do the cooking for you.
Most think that the crock pot is only for soups, stews and pot roasts in the cold winter months. You'll be surprised how great and handy it is during the hot summer. Just substitute the heavy comfort foods with lighter, seasonal flavors.
Here are a couple summer crock pot recipes to get you out the door enjoying the weather instead of slaving over the stove.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 8-oz diced pineapple
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tbsp ground allspice
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Place all the ingredients in the crock pot. Cover; cook on low for 6-8 hours.
French Dip Subs
- 2 lbs cube steak
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cans beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- provolone cheese
- sub buns
Set the steak on the crock pot followed by the sliced onions and green peppers. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cover; cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Once the steak is finished cooking. Preheat over an 350. Remove steak from crock pot and slice into thin strips.
Place the sub buns on a cookie sheet. Place the strips of steak on the buns and top with sliced onions and green peppers from the crock pot. Add a slice of cheese to each sub.
Place the cookie sheet of subs in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese melts. Serve with the broth from the crock pot.
