The new A11FL delivered some big news on Thursday with the announcement of its six inaugural franchises, a television partner and dates for showcase games later this year.
According to a press release, the A11Professional Football League's six set teams are the San Francisco Bay Area Sea Lions, Los Angeles Express, New Jersey Generals, Dallas Wranglers, Chicago Staggs and Tampa Bay Bandits.
The Los Angeles Express, New Jersey Generals and Tampa Bay Bandits were cities and team names from the USFL of the 1980s, leaving one to wonder if the old logos and colors will return for those franchises in the new A11FL.
The league has also announced an agreement with ESPN to broadcast two showcase games in 2014 and the first full season in 2015. Published reports indicate that the games this year will air on ESPN2 on Saturday, May 17 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., and on Thursday, June 5 from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
Unlike the NFL, no jersey numbering requirements exist for the offense in the A11FL, and in information in the press release:
Each offensive player is eligible to receive the ball, depending on how they line up on the line of scrimmage. Thus, a team's best lineman could be its best receiver in A11FL. Inspired by an offense developed at Piedmont High School the A11FL seeks to return football to the way it was originally played, offering a safer, and more athletic game for fans to enjoy.
Two more cities are expected to be announced soon and the 2015 season is slated to begin in late March and finish up on July 4th weekend.
More information about the league is available at a11fl.com.

Season 5 of "The Walking Dead" is almost here and as fans get ready for another season, the cast and crew start to discuss the show more candidly. On Aug. 13, AMC posted an interview with executive producer Tom Luse. He talked about season 5, zombies in general and working on the show.
Luse said that "The Walking Dead" is a 52-week job for some people. Sometimes preparing the season happens before the previous season is over. When traveling, they prepare for new locations, which requires some work. They have to have the sets and locations look similar to how it would really look after the world has been shut down for a few years. He compared it to making a period film.
Luse has worked on other horror productions, such as "Jeepers Creepers" (the first as well as the sequel.) However, he says he is actually a romantic comedy type of guy. As a child he would get scared watching horror movies and said he was the kid that hid behind the seat during scary movies. Even though he is a lightweight, he admits it is a lot of fun and it has given him a real appreciation and understanding of the genre.
As for the biggest lesson working on "TWD" has taught him, Luse said it is to appreciate their fans. They have an opportunity to go on an amazing journey with the characters and that is only because the audience wants to know the story. He stated,
"It's such a great honor to have so many people like our show. We want to make sure we give back to that audience everything that they deserve."
Luse added,
"The relationship between our show and our audience is an incredibly close one. Everyone both in front of the camera and behind the camera feels that way."
As for "The Walking Dead" season 5, the most challenging thing has been the journey, especially at the beginning of the season. What is interesting, Luse said, is that the scale of the world that the characters are living in is something they haven't done before. Viewers will see many aspects of what has been happening the past few years that hasn't been revealed before.
Finally, what would Tom Luse do if a zombie apocalypse actually happened? He said that he would just travel to the Isle of Capri in Italy or go to the Georgia coast. He commented,
"There are lots of horses, cows and pigs so it'd be good."
"The Walking Dead" season 5 premieres on AMC on Oct. 12.

Final Stats
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The women's basketball team topped Virginia, 73-70, in a double-overtime thriller at Foster Auditorium on Friday. With the victory, the Crimson Tide improves to 7-3 on the season while the loss drops the Cavaliers to 6-4 overall.
"This was a fun game," said Alabama head coach Wendell Hudson. "The officials let both teams play, and if you had a weak heart, this was not the game to be playing in. This is getting us ready for our SEC schedule as this was an SEC-style game. We had some people step up and play a lot of minutes and play the way we need them to play."
Sophomore Daisha Simmons led all scorers with 22 points. Also finishing in doubles figures was junior Shafontaye Myers with 14 points and senior Meghan Perkins and sophomore Briana Hutchen, who added 10 points apiece. Simmons also added a team-high seven rebounds, five steals and five assists.
Virginia led early by as many as seven before Alabama went on a 13-4 run to take the 15-13 lead at the 10:56 mark. The Cavaliers tied the game off a fast break layup with 6:38 to go in the first, but the Tide would respond with seven unanswered points for the 24-17 advantage. Virginia would close out the half on a 12-5 run to tie the score at 29 heading into the break.
The Cavaliers knocked down a three-pointer to score the first basket of the second half, giving Virginia its first lead since the 11:08 mark in the first. Simmons responded with a three of her own moments later, locking the game at 32. There were two more ties and three lead changes over the next three minutes with neither team taking more than a three-point advantage until Alabama scored back-to-back baskets for the 45-40 edge with 11:02 to go. The Tide would pull ahead by as many as seven before the Cavaliers battled their way back into the game, eventually taking the lead back at the 2:04 mark. Myers connected on her second three-pointer of the game on the ensuing possession to put Alabama back in front, 58-56. Virginia would tie the game again with just over 30 seconds remaining, and the Tide was unable to get a shot to fall, sending the game into overtime.
Simmons completed the old-fashioned three-point play to put Alabama ahead early in the extra period. The Tide led until Cavalier senior Simone Egwu scored with 39 seconds remaining to give Virginia the 64-63 edge. Alabama was unable to hit a shot on its next possession, forcing the Tide to foul the Cavaliers. Egwu hit both of her free throws to give Virginia a three-point edge and Alabama the ball with under 10 seconds remaining. Simmons drove the ball down the court and delivered it Myers, who banked in a three-pointer with three seconds to go, tying the game at 66 to force a second overtime.
The Cavaliers struck first in the second overtime as senior China Crosby hit a jumper at the 3:39 mark. Myers responded with her fourth three-pointer of the game to give the Tide a one-point edge. Alabama would hold onto the lead for the next two minutes until a basket by Egwu put Virginia on top once again with 1:29 to go. Junior Jasmine Robinson was fouled with 15 seconds remaining and hit both of her shots to give the Tide a 71-70 advantage. Myers came up with a huge defensive rebound off a missed shot on the other end and was fouled with one second to go. She would go on to hit both of her free throws, giving Alabama the victory.
For the game, the Tide shot 31.6 percent for the game (24-76) while the Cavaliers were 35.2 percent from the floor (25-71). Virginia out-rebounded the Tide, 63-47; however Alabama forced 32 Cavalier turnovers. The Tide had 17 steals and 16 assists in the game.
"We came out and put out a great effort against a good basketball team, and that's the lesson we're still learning," added Hudson. "If we play that way every game, we have a chance to have a good basketball team."
Alabama will have a four-day break before heading to Honolulu for the Bank of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine Invitational, which will run Dec. 28-30. The Tide will face Cincinnati, Long Island and Hawai'i. All three games can be listened to on the Crimson Tide Sports Network on the radio and online at RollTide.com. In addition, fans can follow along on the team's official Twitter page @AlabamaWBB.

Day 1, Criterium
SUPERIOR, COLORADO, May 28, 2011 — Solid teamwork and cunning strategy were the difference makers for the winners of the pro men's and pro women's Summit Criterium on day one of the two-day Superior Morgul Classic bike race on Saturday in Superior, Colorado.
The men's 75-minute affair was dominated by the Boulder-based Horizon Organic-Panache team, which slotted three riders in the decisive six-man breakaway, including eventual race winner Josh Yeaton.
The women's race was also a numbers game, with Primal-MapMyRide teammates Megan Hottman and Casey Clark accounting for two-thirds of the winning move, along with Catherine Johnson (Big Ring Cycles). Hottman broke away with five laps to go in the 50-minute race, taking the win. Clark was next across, with Johnson settling for the third step of the podium.
"Once the break formed we knew we were in a good position," said Hottman, 32, a lawyer who focuses on cycling-related litigation when she's not racing bikes. "We were getting splits and the gap went from 30 seconds ahead, to 30 seconds from lapping the field. That was all we needed to hear."
Indeed, once it became clear there was no threats coming from the bunch behind, Hottman and Clark started teeing off on Johnson, attacking and counter-attacking. Johnson fought back gamely, but the pressure was too much on the rolling Town of Superior circuit that included a punchy climb up through the start finish line.
Hottman took off with five to go and never looked back.
No doubt the Horizon Organic-Panache team concurred. The regional development team led by former Olympian Colby Pearce place five riders in the top 12 of a 54-rider field, led by Yeaton, a 21-year-old University of Colorado-Boulder undergrad originally from Anchorage, Alaska.
Yeaton and teammates Scott Moninger and Alex Welch stacked the decisive break that also included Keith Harper (Juwi Solar-First Solar), Garret Suydam (Big Ring U-25) and Russell Harding (Natural Grocers).
After working together through the mid-portions of the race to assure they wouldn't be brought back, the six escapees started the cat-and-mouse games. Harper was the most aggressive, taking off with Yeaton on his wheel early in the last lap. But Moninger bridged across, setting up an unbeatable 2-on-1 during the dash to the line.
"I got off the front with Harper, but I didn't work because I had teammates behind," explained Yeaton, who also rides for the CU cycling team which is coached by Pearce. "I waited, Scott bridged, and then he led me out. I took off at 200 meters and it worked out perfectly."
Harper, 42, a website designer, held on for second, with Moninger trailing home in third, his mind now focused on the event's bigger prizes, the Morgul Bismarck Road Race and the event's overall Omnium title. Overall the race offers a $25,000 prize purse distributed between pros and amateurs.
"Our team goal today was to score points toward the omnium," said Moninger, 44, a much-decorated high-level professional for two decades who has now transitioned into a mentor role with his new team. "The team is in a great position for the overall now and we have a lot of bodies. But going up the wall it's whatever you have in the tank."
Racing at the Superior Morgul Classic continues Sunday with the Morgul Bismarck Road Race. Amateurs and pros will take on the famed 13.5-mile loop with 750 feet of vertical gain per lap. Pro men will do 6 laps starting at 11:20 a.m. The top women will tackle the circuit 4 times starting at 12:36 p.m.
The Superior Morgul Classic is a second-year event that brought cycling back to the famed Morgul Bismarck circuit, which featured prominently in the Coors Classic, and was the primary setting for the cult-classic Kevin Costner cycling movie, American Flyers.
Always a popular training route with Colorado's large cycling community, the Morgul Bismarck has been brought back into the racing fold. Overall the Superior Morgul Classic offers $25,000 in cash and prizes distributed between pros and amateurs. The event is further bolstered by a bounty of racer perks, including two free beers for everyone (of legal age) who races. For more info visit: http://www.superiormorgulclassic.com/
Day 2 - The Morgul Road Race
Top beneficiaries of all the time off the front were Nathan Wilson (California Giant-Specialized) and Kasey Clark (Primal-MapMyRide), who each scored wins on the infamous 13.3-mile circuit made famous as a centerpiece of the famed Coors Classic race of the 1980s.
Clark also locked up the two-day event's overall women's omnium prize, adding Sunday's win to a second-place effort in Saturday's Summit Criterium.
The men's omnium crown went to Josh Yeaton (Horizon Organic-Panache), who took third in the road race a day after winning the criterium. Both Clark and Yeaton also anchored team omnium titles for their respective squads.
"We won just about everything," said Clark, 25, who works at a bike shop when not racing bikes. "Today was consistently hard. There weren't a lot of attacks. It was just steady all day. I got to sit in a lot because [teammate] Gwen [Inglis] did a lot of the work in the break."
Indeed, with Inglis and eventual second-place finisher Catherine Johnson (Big Ring Cycles) taking turns pulling the break, Clark was able to save matches for the last trip up the infamous Wall, a short, but punchy 12-percent climb that concluded each of the 53-mile race's four laps.
Clark took off at the base and easily unhitched Johnson, who ceded 13 seconds by the finish. Inglis was 27 seconds back, with Summit Criterium winner and fellow Primal-MapMyRide rider Megan Hottman leading a shattered bunch across five minutes later.
"Kasey punched it on the wall and that was it," said Johnson, 34, a graphic designer and sales rep. "I still had a great time. I live in Boulder and I went to CU, so it's great to be out here on my bike on this amazing day with amazing scenery. It's a classic race."
The men's endgame came one climb earlier, on what's locally known as the Hump. About halfway up, Wilson rose out of the saddle, quickly putting a 7-second gap into heretofore breakaway ally Austin Allison (Horizon Organic-Panache). The 20-year-old Allison was clearly smoked from the long day off the front, and did little to fight back, eventually settling for second, 26 second behind Wilson.
Yeaton led a fractured bunch across nearly two and a half minutes later.
"I'd been battling cramps the last two laps," said Allison, who's originally from St. Louis, but now lives in Colorado Springs. "I was expecting the attack when it came, but he just hit it and I didn't react quick enough and I couldn't close it."
Wilson was just trying to avoid having the 83-mile race come down to a two-man sprint.
"Austin looked strong all day and my sprint is so bad that I figured I should give a try early and at least if I couldn't get rid of him he'd be a little more tired for the sprint," said Wilson.
Allison was surprised that the break stayed away in the first place.
"The team plan was I was supposed to get in the early break and wait for the GC guys to come across and then help them," he explained. "But the gap just exploded upward so I realized it wasn't coming back and I started pulling through."
Behind the break, the bunch was content to duke it out for the omnium title, which was based on points, not time.
"We didn't need to chase because Wilson didn't race the criterium, so he didn't have any points coming in. So it became a race for third," said Yeaton. "We just had to keep our eyes on Keith [Harper] and Russell [Harding] because they scored good points in the criterium. Harper tried to go a few times, but we had enough guys to mark him. It was a great weekend for the team."
The Superior Morgul Classic is a second-year event that brought top-level bike racing back to the famed Morgul Bismarck circuit, which featured prominently in the Coors Classic, and was the primary setting for the cult-classic Kevin Costner cycling movie, American Flyers. Overall the Superior Morgul Classic doled out $25,000 in cash and prizes distributed between pros and amateurs.
For the second year in a row the 2011 Superior Morgul Classic Weekend takes place in the Town of Superior, Colorado this Memorial Day weekend, May 28 and 29. The event includes the Summit Criterium and the Morgul Bismarck road race. The weekend will culminate on Sunday with a concert and celebration just after the road race in Superior's Community Park. The prize purse exceeds $20,000 in cash and prizes and includes an omnium (overall) classification for individuals and teams
The Summit Criterium on Saturday will remain on the same course as last year. The "L" shaped, 5 corner course features a wide start/finish stretch, an uphill, narrow alleyways with the a slightly uphill sprint. Last year, many riders underestimated the total elevation gain during the race, so we'll be sure to see more competitive sprints this time around. Once again the 1 lap Cruiser Crit will take place at noon immediately following the under 8, kids race.
Bringing back the Morgul course last year was a herculean effort, but considering there were close to 700 racers and a minimal affect on traffic, it was a by all indications a success. The 13.3 mile loop always has wind and gains 1,200 ft per lap. The finish is on the top of the 'Wall', a brutally steep leg burner. The feedzone will be relocated to McCaslin Blvd for safety reasons. More festivities will take place on the Wall and at the finish including a beer garden.
The Town of Superior and Chamber were thrilled after last year's successful event and are fully committed to continuing this new tradition. Their goal is to provide the best road racing experience in Colorado. When you look at their courses and all the other perks including the disco racer's tent, they're well on their way.
The weekend event is sanctioned under the American Cycling Association (ACA) and will utilize chip timing for results. It will have the following designations, an ACA Bar/Bat series race with an Omnium designation, a Tour of Colorado event and a PreRace.com Cup race. Race information can be found at www.SuperiorMorgul Classic.com.

Many crits separate these

Many crits separate these two crowded categories. I'm not going to pour over the numbers. Take a look at Louisville, Prospect, NBoulder, etc.
Really I'm not complaining and do appreciate the hard work you guys do. But 100 person crits are no fun and I won't be doing them anymore.
100 rider fields
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Back before Colorado racers developed the idea of everyone is special categories like 35+3's 80-100+ rider fields were common. They still are in other parts of the country, especially at bigger racers like this.
Combine down to 2 Elite Men groups...
Submitted by BBBBBBB (not verified) on
Was cool in the past to see 100 rider fields of 1-2s... Those days are long gone. Demographics of racers have changed big time in the last 15 years. Most now are racing less and not wanting to become a "Pro" local racer.
Time to split the 35+ 1-2s into the 1-2s and 45+ 1-2s and make it two groups of 1-2s,
Senior 1-2s and Masters 40+ 1-2s. Could see some large Elite fields again. Not enough Elite riders left to give them 3 starts each race.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
not a bad idea. You could break it out like so: Sr 1-2, Sr 3, Sr 4, 40+ 1-2, 40+ 3-4, 50+, 60+...
Too Many Master's Fields
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Add in a 35+ 1-2, etc is a recipe for disaster in my opinion. We already have a truckload of master's categories, which include 35+ open (and several others). What's the difference between these two? What do you gain?
that grouping mentioned
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
that grouping mentioned above does away w/ 35+ all together. Everyone under 40 races w/ their category. No more 35+ open, 35+ cat 3, 35+ cat 4, 45+ open, 45+ cat 4, etc...
It's two less masters categories than currently run.
Doubling up and the Pro/1/2
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I often double up during crits/cross when the schedule allows and honestly there isn't that much of a speed difference on the pointy end of the 35+ or the 3's (who should become 2's eventually).
I really think the crux of the problem is where do you go once you're on that pointy end as a "3". IMO, part of the problem is lumping the pro/1/2 together. Yeah, numbers don't support splitting them up but...
you have 3's who don't want to upgrade because they'll racing against Zirbel/Pearce/Dwight/Webber and those other world class riders. Where's the incentive there? Yeah you want to "get faster by racing against the best" but seriously, there is a genetic gap that any amount of training just can't overcome.
If you're a "2" but over 35 (or 45), which group would you rather race against?
I understand the 35/4 and 45/4 as that's where the bulk of the membership is (or is headed) but after that it gets kinda muddled.
We need to figure out a clear/consistent upgrade path. I certainly don't have all the answers.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
IMHO, It'd be nice to have slightly fewer seperate AG races and more variety in ability based cats. ie
123 or 23
and limit masters to
35+ 3
35+ 4
45+ 4
seems like plenty of variety to me.
the real problem as mentioned above is that unless youre 35+ and have 35+ open to look forward to theres no incentive for most 3s to upgrade, cuz above 3, youre competing with pros and "full time amateurs", and its a brick wall.
35+ is a nice middle ground for those of us old enough, a little smarter and safer and more tactical than cat3 races, but not dominated as completely by peopel who have 30 hours a week to train. but the current structure seems designed to chew up and spit out all but the most ambitious cat2s.
The only problem I see with
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The only problem I see with that, if we had a 2-3 and 3-4, is that you are going to see guys sandbagging the 3-4 pretty hard and those that want their upgrade points are definitely going to go the 3-4 route.

Seems like plenty of variety if you're in your early 40s. If you're in your mid 50s or older, it's not such a good age breakdown at all.

"Really I'm not complaining and do appreciate the hard work you guys do. But 100 person crits are no fun and I won't be doing them anymore."
Read: I have absolutely no confidence in my skills as a rider and would prefer if we could all just ride around parade laps and sprint the last 100 meters.
I was in 3 crits the same weekend in Iowa and not once did we start with less then 130 riders. And you know the crazy thing, there one just two crashes the whole weekend in our fields. This is why Colorado racers aren't better anymore, they are far worse then the rest of the country because the rest of the country is forced to learn to handle their bikes in a pack.
You Sir Are What Is Wrong With Colorado Racing.
Get it together, grow a pair, whatever you need to do, but until then I am sure the peloton is better off without you. Maybe if promoters didn't have to split their event up in a million different races they could offer better prize pots and pay more then the entry fee back to the top 3 finishers of each race.

100% percent agree. Well put and for my money I would like more guys like you!
We have seen the total pussafication of racing in CO and as you point out, it is why CO riders are no longer strong against other regions in many areas. Complaining against 100 rider fields? That is exactly what is wrong with Colorado riders. Personally I am sick of how small the fields are in CO, I want larger fields). Gez, in other places I have lived I have raced in 200 rider fields in stage races and it was just fine. If people like the complainer rode in 100 riders fields they would actually learn pack skills, what it takes to move up in a pack, how to corner, and how to ride in the wind. Could you imagine how much harder deer trail would be with 100 guys? Versus a field of 25 where you can just move around and never been too far from the front? People would need to learn skills.
We have slowly dumbed down racing in CO to attract more new comers and with the ACA helping at every step. We now have a group of people who want us to run 20 different cats per day, all with fields of 40 or less, so everyone gets a medal and can score BAR/BAT points. How anyone thinks this is good for the sport is beyond me. We now have new comers, and others, who race 6 times a year as they are just a hill climb guy, or I only do non technical races. Man unless you are at the Pro Tour level you ain't so specialist, so show up to the good races, race often and just accept that you will do well at some at not at others (I suck at climbing, but was out on Sunday getting smoked in the RR, but I finished). Have the race #'s grow over the last 5 years? Last time I looked the answer was no. Sure we have more people with license, but we have a insane # of people with ACA license who races less than 5 times a year.
What can we do? Go back the other direction and get rid of the snow ball cats. We need to run fewer cats per day all with bigger fields (no pros has hurt the pro/1/2 group, 35 plus is taking guys out of pro/1/2, 35 cat 3 is taking guys out of cat 3, and now 45 plus cat 4 is making 35 plus cat 4 smaller). We have the same # of people racing, just spread out over more cats. Heck look at Hugo, they had to go the opposite direction and combine cats. To do this we need to end this point of view that people want less and less competition. Here is a simple number of cats (9 or 10) that could be run most days and would allow people to race where they want (age or ability).
Sr Men: pro/1/2, cat 3, cat 4, maybe cat 5? (also lets just go back to USAC and let the pros race again. It has been a joke watching "pro/1/2" races in CO this year)
Women: 1/2/3 and 3/4
Masters: A , B, C, and D (simple enough, we have way to many masters fields and maybe masters needs to start at 40. Jesus the front end of the 35 plus race looks faster than most of the pro/1/2 races)

Those "lower" categories pay for the racing. Their entry fee, keeps the races going. The racing demographics are getting older and slower. Most now work, have a family and a life outside of road racing.
1-2s & 35+ 1-2s are dying off quickly. Yea, we lost 0 to 10 UCI pros at some races, but 1-2 numbers are slipping away this year. 100+ fields of 1-2s are long gone. We are lucky to break 60 starters now...
So you want cycling to grow old with you?
Submitted by a bike racer (not verified) on
So OldGuy, you are content to just let this sport die off with you and your generation? Or would it be better to innovate, look for avenues of growth, and get people excited about racing? Maybe being from outside of Colorado racing part of the allure to bring guys like me out here was that opportunity to sharpen my skills as a young rider against the best the country has to offer. Mine as well as other excitement grew more for the sport in two Busstop rides this year with Greg Henderson and Baden Cooke then all the local racing I've done so far. And what do I do with that excitement? Go tell my team's jr riders and U23 guys what that is like and get them excited and wanting to race and cat up. Take what I learned from those guys, apply it to myself then teach those willing to learn what I know. Catering to the group that is losing steam and hasn't proven to be very effective at enticing young new members doesn't seem like a sound business practice, at least not for a sport.
What are you doing to grow the sport? Where is your passion?
Sport is not dying
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
I found the 2009 aca numbers http://303cycling.com/2009-aca-racer-participation-data and the sport is not dying, its growing, just not equally in all categories. Sorry I don't have 2010 data yet, haven't bugged the ACA to share that information yet. Does it matter where growth comes as long as we get growth?
Maybe the lack of junior riders and non-master rider might have more to do the imagine of cycling then the categories. Who wants to race road bikes when you can be cooler riding a fixie with neon glasses or do 360 tail whips off of a new valmont bike park jump, or own a downhill bike. IMO changing categories won't change the imagine much and may slow the spot where growth as been the largest.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I agree the sport (road racing) is not dying, but really it is not growing either(cross is a different story). The numbers are up a little and we have more ACA members, but the number of members who do not race, or barely race (less than 5 times/year) is a lot of what is driving that. If you look at the people who really race, say 10 times or more per year, those numbers are pretty flat (and this is based on the last time the ACA released the full numbers). So what does the ACA and the riders want? To focus on the core group, or bring in more people who do not race a lot?
One of things that was presented as we started to add more and more categories was the idea we are losing riders on the lower end and if we add more and more categories we will keep those riders and grow the sport. Clearly that has not really happened, what has happened is other categories have been cannibalized to make these new fields. Thus giving us more fields, with fewer racers per field, and no real increase in the # of riders.
We're all dying...

Average age of licensed riders is getting older every year. Great that people are sticking with racing or coming into racing later in life. Look at the number of 45+ 4s to see how many are just starting racing at a late age. 35+ used to be the "old" guys, now 35 is below the median age of license holders. Median age is probably between 40~45 now in ACA/USAC ranks.
Road Race numbers are still strong, just always shifting to the older groups. Need to keep adjusting age groups to keep up.
How to get more Juniors and 20 somethings? Good question. We've tried Race Free, Free Camps and now are trying the Junior only Stage Race this weekend. Should see 100s of kids... Maybe expand it to include a U23 (or U25) group?
Cost is inhibitive...
Submitted by Matt Gibble (not verified) on
For a young rider to get started in this sport is nearly impossible without significant financial support. It has gotten out of control how much it costs to race a bike. In addition, if a kid lives in the metro area, where does he go to train? When I grew up in rural Pennsylvania we would just go ride all day. However, with traffic in suburbia here in the Denver metro area it's tough for a young kid to just go for a ride.
The other challenge with junior ranks here is that the fields are sadly very small. Any junior with talent and desire needs to race in the senior categories to get an understanding for bike handling, strategy, conserving energy and learning how to read a race.
On a positive note (sometimes hard to see here in this forum) the Ridge View Academy program is one greatest things happening in ACA racing and rarely do they get the recognition they deserve. The gentleman that runs this program loads these boys up from Watkins and brings them considerable distance to race their bikes, which for them is a privilege and not a right. Perhaps we could all learn from an attitude such as this. http://www.ridgeviewacademy.com/14911061183141943/site/default.asp

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I just want to second the cost as being a factor for the 20 somethings. I'm 24 and find it hard to scrounge the cash together to actually go out and race regularly, especially when races are $30-35 a pop (this doesn't include things like gas, bike maintenance, etc). Even worse is when races, like morgul RR, are $75 if you register the day of. I understand there are costs associated with putting up a race, but they are getting to the point where only the established family man (or women) can afford it.
Fact and fiction
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
First fictional issue is that Colorado has the hardest bike racing in the country. It's as good as anything out there but I raced in New England from 2002-2009 and now two years here. It's no different to me. Same number of pros, former pros and the usual stock of 30-hour per week amateurs. Genetics is the same no matter where and bike racing is equally difficult here to that of New England.
Another myth here are huge fields on the East Coast. Granted there are a few races that fill up, most are not 80+ racers. 40-60 is pretty standard for most races.

I do not think it is a lower catagory versus upper catagory thing. So many guys in the lower catagories like to use that battle cry and call anyone racing as a 1/2 an elitist. The issue really is we now have about the same number of riders, spread out over a much larger number of catagories. That is not healthy nor is it growth, no business would be runt hat way. We need to find a way to run fewer catagories, with larger field sizes. I do not know the answer, but maybe starting masters at 40 is an idea, and another one is going to ability based masters racing. There are currently 6 main masters catagories for men and that is a lot.

Then at the end of that lap the 3's came back thru and stayed out in front. But the 35/3s were constantly being slowed down by the refs so they didn't catch up again, and this had a neutralizing effect on attacks.

Yeah, it seemed clear the 35/3 was moving a bit faster. I think a small group of SM3 thought it would be beneficial to immediately attack through the 35/3 group shortly after the first pass rather than letting the packs naturally get some distance. Still a 5 minute start gap would probably have eliminated the issue altogether.

For having promoted cheating on standardized tests in Pennsylvania, five persons have been charged in an ongoing grand jury probe investigation. Four teachers as well as a city principal have been accused of elevating test scores by changing students' answers on tests, providing answers to the students, and improperly reviewing questions with students prior to the test-taking, according to an NBC News report on Thursday.
The principal being charged with the cheating offense is Evelyn Cortez, 59. The four teachers being charged are Jennifer Hughes, 59, Arny Sloane, 56, Lorraine Vicente, 41, and Rita Wyszynski, 65. Cortez lives in Dresher. Hughes lives in Jeffersonville. Sloane, Vicente, and Wyszynski live in Philadelphia. They to surrender to authorities on Thursday morning.
In the case, it is reported that the teachers at Cayuga School were encouraged to bring the exams home to familiarize themselves with the tests. Additionally, it was alleged that teachers and students who would not cheat were reprimanded by the principal. During testing, it has been said that Cortez would go around to the classrooms and sometimes tap on the students' test booklets to try to get them to change their answers.
Furthermore, the Pennsylvania Education Department discovered irregularities in test answers when comparing Cayuga to other Pennsylvania schools. For example, Cayuga had an inordinate number of wrong-to-write answer erasures on the answer sheets for several years. Incredibly, nearly half of all the third graders' answers at the school had five or more wrong-to-right erasures while 15 percent of them had more than 10 erasure mores indicating a changed answer from wrong-to-right.
According to ABC News, the specific charges against Cortez, Hughes and Vicente are felony racketeering, records tampering, perjury, forgery and criminal conspiracy. Sloane and Wyszynski have been charged with records tampering, forgery and criminal conspiracy. Pennsylvania's Attorney General Kathleen Kane's office is also investigating cheating allegations at other schools in the state.
At this time, Kane has accused the five defendants of perpetuating a culture of cheating on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests for a period of five years. Supporting the assertions that massive cheating had taken place, a grand jury discovered that scores plummeted after the inner-city school cheating had stopped two years ago. After the cheating had stopped, fifth graders' reading proficiency dropped from 50 percent to just 16 percent. In mathematics, the proficiency level went from 62 percent down to 22 percent.
The grand jury in the case stated that significant pressures existed for the various schools to increase the performance on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. When the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment scores went up, school principal received both promotions and accolades. Others, it has been reported, avoided demotions and terminations of their positions.
Thursday's indictment involved personnel at Cayuga Elementary School. The school is located in a low-income portion of North Philadelphia known as Hunting Park. The school has some 450 students. Ninety-six percent of the students at the school are economically disadvantaged according to records.
Additionally, three high school principals were fired in January and dozens of teachers and administrators were disciplined following a probe. In those previous actions, the School Reform Commission acted. The School Reform Commission is a board appointed by the Pennsylvania district.

Fundamentalist Florida Reverend Demands NFL Players Be Put To Death
This past weekend marked the beginning of yet another NFL football season. To many American men, the next 18 weeks are the best 18 weeks of the year. We here at the DoA proudly count ourselves amongst that group. Rev. Litrell Reeding, on the other hand, is not one of those men. It's not that he hates football. Not at all. As a matter of fact, he's a huge fan of the Fightin' Irish of Notre Dame…and college football in general. It's the NFL that he has a problem with. Describing his feelings as a "problem" may be seriously understating the way he feels about the NFL. I'll get to that in a minute. What is it exactly that makes him hate the NFL so much? Is it the prima donna attitude displayed by many of the NFL's biggest stars? Nope. Could it be the over-the-top celebrations on even the most routine of plays that he takes exception with? Nah. Maybe the ludicrous contracts that NFL players sign and then complain about two years into a six year deal? Nope. Is it the pro game in general that he has a problem with? Not at all. His problem with the NFL has its roots in something that predates football by about 1,900 years…the Bible.
Rev. Litrell Reeding, founder of The Baptist Church Of God's Catholic Children Of Latter Day Presbyterian Apostles Of Jesus' Protestant Disciples, doesn't hate the NFL…he simply believes all NFL players, owners, stadium workers, etc…should be put to death. "Six days shall work be done," he said, "but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death." For those of you that aren't well-versed in the bible and jokingly refer to football as your church and your ginormous LCD television as your altar, that quote can be found in Exodus 35:2. When asked to explain his stance, Rev. Reeding said, "Like I said, I don't hate football. Quite the contrary, I like football. However, I am a servant of God and Exodus 35:2 specifically states that whoever works on the Sabbath shall be put to death. Plain and simple."
When asked if he thinks that he may be taking things to an extreme, he simply says, "No." His position is a simple one, if it's in the Bible, it's in there for a reason. NFL fans however have not taken kindly to his message. Last football season, Rev. Reeding and his congregation of 37 followers held protests each Sunday outside of EverBank Stadium, home of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, where they were routinely met with boos…and worse. "I had all sorts of things thrown at me last year. Cups, bottles, cans, balls…one guy even tried to stab a member of my congregation with a skewer from a shish-ka-bob," Rev. Reeding responded when asked to describe the reactions of NFL fans to his group's protests. The funny thing is that he says this as if he is surprised. I'm not sure why. If you go to a Yankees game wearing a Red Sox hat, you're likely to take a beating. I could only imagine what would happen if you stood outside calling for the death of every member of the Yankees. I asked Rev. Reeding if his protests could technically be described as work, to which he responded, "Doing God's work is obviously an exception to the passage in Exodus." Obviously.
At one point in our conversation, I asked Rev. Litrell Reeding if he thought that perhaps more harm than good could come from taking the Bible, or any book of worship for that matter, too literally, but he did not believe that to be the case. "Absolutely not. It's the word of God in the Bible. I know that Islam has come under fire lately because the Koran calls for Muslims to kill the infidel. Don't get me wrong, I hate those Muslim sons of bitches and wish we could nuke the entire Middle East, but I don't hold it against them that they take the Koran so literally. It's the word of Mohammed…that lying sack of shit false profit," he said. If Rev. Reeding comes off as being angry beyond reason, basically, it's because he is. He's not one of these new-age, hippy, dippy New Testament preachers who teaches their flock to love thy neighbors and do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Rather, he's one of the fire and brimstone, wrathful, vengeful God preachers of the Old Testament.
Throughout our conversation, it becomes ever more clear that this is not some publicity stunt. It also becomes clear that Florida is teeming with nut job religious fanatics who have some serious issues. He literally believes that those who work on the Sabbath should be put to death. Why he has chosen the NFL, nobody can be sure. Thankfully, he has either chosen to ignore large parts of the Bible or hasn't actually read it in its entirety yet. I say thankfully because I wouldn't want to imagine what he will try when he discovers that the Bible also calls for bad teenagers and women who commit adultery to be stoned to death. Before NFL fans decide to condemn all of Christianity because of fanatics such as Rev. Litrell Reeding, rest assured that most Christians do not agree with his radical, fundamentalist views. Most modern day Christians realize that the Bible was not meant to be taken literally and that it' most useful purpose is to serve as a "guide." Good news for all of us! Good god, have you ever seen how much killing goes on in that book? Good God? Maybe "bad God" would be more appropriate.
The moral of the story here is a simple one kids, don't believe everything you read.http://dudesofamerica.com/rev-litrell-reeding-has-big-problem-with-nfl/

Sarah Geronimo has already been tagged by Broadway star and fellow "The Voice of the Philippines" coach Lea Salonga and Anne Curtis to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but unfortunately, because of her busy schedule, the pop star is still not accepting it. Her boyfriend, Matteo Guidicelli, who is also busy doing several projects with ABS-CBN and Regal Films, has already accepted the challenge. Just yesterday, Aug. 27, 2014, using his official Instagram account, the hunk actor posted a video of him doing the challenge.
Matteo Guidicelli tagged Rowell Santiago, Louie Ocampo and other showbiz personalities to do the challenge. The hunk actor, who captured the hearts of popsters because of his love for their idol, Sarah Geronimo, received positive messages from the netizens who already watched the video.
But while many of his fans and supporters are congratulating him for his shown courage, some observers are also asking why his girlfriend, Sarah Geronimo is still not accepting the challenge. According to them; the pop star must accept the challenge to show to the world that she is also supporting the barricade. And speaking of support, Paolo Guidicelli, younger brother of Matteo, is one good example.
He took the challenge and encouraged everyone especially the pop star, Sarah Geronimo to join the ice bucket challenge craze. You can visit the official Twitter account of isgfan, one of the popsters, if you want to see the photo of Paolo tagging his big brother's girlfriend. This proves that even the younger Guidicelli knows that the concert queen is still not responding to Lea Salonga and Anne Curtis' tag.

Caroline Biden, 26, who is the niece of Vice President Joe Biden had a court date in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday. She was excused from making a court appearance because she is being treated at an exclusive inpatient facility for anger issues in Delray Beach, Florida, according to a New York Post report on Wednesday.
Joe Biden's granddaughter Naomi's mini-skirt draws criticism
Caroline Biden had been criminally charged with resisting an arrest, obstruction of justice and harassment. The New York Post report more blatantly states that Ms. Biden hit a police officer. She received the charges on Sept. 17 of last year after an episode with her roommate over unpaid rent. Her roommate who argued with her over the unpaid rent was Adrienne Reynolds. The residence with the unpaid rent concern is reported as a "ritzy Tribeca pad" on Desbrosses Street. In regards to the charges, Manhattan Judge Ann Scherzer agreed to dismiss the charges against Caroline Biden if she can stay out of trouble for six months. In other words, Ms. Biden is avoiding jail time after having struck an officer of the law.
James Liguori, Ms. Biden's defense lawyer, told the court that Ms. Biden is undergoing treatment for the issues she has with anger management, and he said that she is truly sorry for what she did and she is truly remorseful.
The report asserts that Biden's niece, a Georgetown University graduate, had "two high-price lawyers," including Ira London, plead against the charges against her while she's in Caron Renaissance Ocean Drive in Delray Beach, Florida. The report also states that Caroline Biden has "a history of booze and pill addiction."

Hayden Christensen to quit acting?Hayden Christensen is set to quit acting to become an architect.
The 'Star Wars' actor says he plans to swap the big screen for building design - because the film industry doesn't excite him anymore.
He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Maybe the new 'Star Wars' will be my last movie.
"I don't find Hollywood interesting, so I'm thinking about studying architecture instead."
The heartthrob actor, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the hit sci-fi series, claims that he's had enough of making movies because the industry demands too much from its stars.
The 24-year-old actor, who has been romantically linked with his 'Star Wars' co-star Natalie Portman, also slammed other young actors who are prepared to sell themselves to Hollywood in order to make their career successful.
He added: "A film is a product and as an actor you can only sell it if you sell yourself.
"You don't get to sit at the table before you're ready to give away your integrity. Maybe it works for Orlando Bloom. It doesn't for me."
Earlier this month, the Canadian-born star revealed how he had to be given a helping hand by director George Lucas to play Darth Vader in new movie 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' - because he wasn't big enough fill the famous black suit.
He said: "Yeah, I'm a bit shorter but the special effects team were nice enough to put lifts in the shoes and make a big muscle suit so I could fill it out."

It is a notable species for its autumn display of shining white berries in huge drooping clusters of 30 or more, particularly conspicuous once the yellowing autumn leaves have fallen in October and lasting well into winter. The tree itself is open and graceful, with elegant compound, divided, leaves that are strongly serrated. The flowers are the typical rowan shape, but soft pink rather than white. This is a tree to plant centre-stage. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

The Last Express is nice and linear for the first evening, then overwhelmingly open ended for the first day (but the more you play it the better you understand it; your point about time is probably accurate), then I think perfectly linear for night 2 and day 2: linear in such a way that it feels open ended but has the advantage of putting you right into the plot.
Some people say that if you can miss details that will make it difficult to solve puzzles later, but I don't think that's true at all. It is true that you will miss almost certainly miss plot details, particularly on Day 1, and if you don't understand the plot and the characters then you will find the puzzles more difficult. There's really only one puzzle for Day 1, and it involves knowing what other characters want and playing off their expectations.
So do keep at it, Huz! Like a good book or film, putting in some time and effort in the first half will pay off ten-fold later on. And feel free to e-mail me if you want hints!
@Haggis: Yeah I'm looking forward to Strong Bad -- I think I'll play it all as one season package as I do with Sam & Max though.

Widespread Panic in Budgam Due to Gastroenteritis Attack
by Savitha C Muppala on August 24, 2010 at 1:16 PM Indian Health News - G J E 4
Panic has gripped the people of Budgam district, following the death of two people to gastroenteritis.
Around 973 people, including women and children, have been admitted in various hospitals in Reyar, Waterhal, Kralnaar, Hardpanzu and Sholipura after they showed symptoms of gastroenteritis.
AdvertisementExperts are trying to ascertain if the patients are suffering from cholera.
"In some villages the outbreak was of moderate to serious nature. In districts like Waterhal, Kralnaar, Tehsil Khansahab and Tehsil Bhiru, it has took a very dangerous shape. Total cases that have been reported till today morning in different primary health centers, dispensaries and hospitals is around 900," said Mohammad Rafi, Deputy Commissioner, Budgam.
Locals are claiming that nearly 25 villages have been affected due to the water-borne disease, as heavy rains contaminated rivers and streams, which are the main source of their drinking water.
"Almost 20 to 25 villages are affected by cholera. I think it is water-borne disease. Due to heavy rain there has been water stagnation at many places, due to which drinking water got contaminated," said Bashir Ahmad, a local.
The disease has not only created panic amongst the villagers but has also set alarm bells ringing in the state Health Department.
Teams of doctors and specialists have been rushed to the affected areas to control the outbreak.
All patients affected by gastroenteritis initially showed symptoms like diarrhoea and vomiting, after which the high fever usually causes death if it is not controlled.
The health authorities have urged the villagers, particularly in the affected areas to drink boiled water to prevent the further spread of the disease.

"Bear with me," by Campbell Hutchinson ©2013, a children's books of paintings, limericks
and photographs.
My sixth book has a new feature: photographs of animals are included in addition to the limericks and pictures of my paintings. The photographers are family. I took the pictures of the Colorado bears. My grand niece, Kathryn Davis, took the photos of the African wildlife.
A former lawyer now pursuing a career in fine art, I am an expressionist painter trying to capture the spirit of my subject, be it man, animal or place. In 2008 I wrote, illustrated and published my first book, "wild things," consisting of my animal paintings and limericks I wrote about each painting. My five succeeding books were in the same vein, featuring my animals and limericks. My recent (2014) book, "This is Our Land," is markedly different in that the emphasis is on the land and wilderness, and all my paintings included in the book are landscapes. Accompanying each painting is a quote from a noted writer, poet, naturalist or environmentalist about the value of our wilderness and its preservation for generations to come. Edward Abbey wrote "Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit." That is the message of "This Land is Our Land."

*Idun brought the sword up to the high guard and took a swing at Tanara's head, mid swing Idun dropped the blade low and landed and at the last instant tuned the blade on it side landing a hard blow on Tanara's right calf. While she did this Idun used her shield to hit Tanara's lightsaber up and out of the way. All the while continueing her mental attacks on Tanara's mind.*
Idun: This is perhaps when you are at the most risk for losing control to Kira. You must learn how to put and maintain these barriers automatically. I'll also see to it that your body can fight without you having to put much thought behind your actions. Once you train yourself to do that you can think ahead a number of moves, plan out a strategy to defeat your opponents and accomplish the goal you set out.
*As Idun said this she took the sword to a middle guard and thrusted it at Tanara's side. Idun moved a little slower then before to give Tanara time to intercept the thrust*

According to 9 News, the Colorado woman with terminal breast cancer, who struggled to find a home for her beloved dog, "Sherlock," has secured a potential adopter.
In early April, a nationwide plea was made to help find a home for Pat Cudd's five-year-old pit bull mix. Prior to the story hitting the media, Cudd had searched for a loving home for her beloved dog, but her quest had been fruitless.
Today, with the help of many people who reached out to lend a hand, the search appears to be over.
Sherlock's new owner is ready to take him in, but they are allowing Cudd to spend as much time with her companion as she needs. Cudd stated:
"That particular prospective owner is willing to give me time to be with the dog as long as I can. And is willing to take the dog when I'm ready,"
The outpouring of support from the community has touched Cudd - a Loveland resident opened her home to Cudd, who now enjoys beautiful accommodations rather than the small hotel room which she previously shared with her dog. She was also given an honorary diploma from the Colorado State University where she has been working to secure her master's degree.
With the help of a compassionate community, Cudd has been given a precious gift...peace of mind.

There have been a lot of reports over the years claiming some red wine may improve your health. Actually, enjoying some red wine in moderation may prolong your life, reports Doctor's Health Press on Jan. 2, 2014. It has been found in a recent study that moderate drinkers have been living longer than people who abstain from drinking.
Over a 20 year period a team of researchers from the University of Texas followed over 1,800 volunteers who were between the ages of 55 to 65 at the outset of the study. The research team studied both moderate drinkers, abstainers, and heavy drinkers in their clinical trial. The study also compared teetotalers, or people who had drank in the past but who no longer drink, and those who had a history of never drinking alcohol, with moderate drinkers and heavy drinkers. Moderate drinkers were considered to be those who had one to three drinks a day, while heavy drinkers were considered to be those who had four or more drinks per day.
The results showed at the end of the study period, slightly over 30 percent of the teetotalers survived, in comparison to survival by 40 percent of the heavy drinkers and almost 60 percent of the moderate drinkers. The researchers concluded that although you still should approach alcohol drinking with caution, it appears it's okay to enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal. Red wine could help lower cholesterol levels and have a positive effect on heart health.
Research has indicated that moderate consumption of alcohol improves cardiovascular health, reports Yale New Haven Hospital. In 1992 researchers at Harvard included moderate alcohol consumption as one of the "eight proven ways to reduce coronary heart disease risk." But, research has suggested that red wine is specifically the most beneficial to your heart health. The cardioprotective effect of red wine has been attributed to antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes.
More recently researchers have found that moderate red wine consumption may be beneficial to more than just your heart health. One study has found that the antioxidant resveratrol, which is found in abundance in the skin of red grapes, may inhibit tumor development in some cancers. Another study has indicated that resveratrol helps in the formation of nerve cells, which experts think may be helpful in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So, if you feel like it, enjoying some red wine in moderation may actually help you live a healthier and longer life.

wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus)
This is a small to medium sized, unspotted frog with a black mask on the cheek and extending through the eye. The dorsal color is from tan to almost black. The cheek patch is black or dark brown, and nearly always discernible. This species breeds from March to April. The eggs are deep chocolate brown in color above and whitish beneath. This species is rarely found far from forest cover and is often found in caves. The voice is a hoarse clacking sound suggestive of a duck, and they are often heard calling before the ice is completely off but are usually silent after breeding season.
This species is usually found in or near moist woods. They hibernate under leaves or logs in woodlands among leaves. The eggs are usually deposited near the shore of a shallow pond. They prefer shade and will breed at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
They feed on beetles and flies.

I am moving to CentOS from Fedora, I know they have a common base but I need to know if there are any differences in directory structure or configuration files.
If you are going to CentOS 6 they should be pretty close. The biggest thing I would keep in mind is to use the EPEL repository. Fedora packages a lot more recent software then CentOS does, so moving to CentOS 6 you will want to add it in to be able to install some of the needed applications:
I would use either EPEL or RPMForge but not both. If you do use both, you will run into incompatibilities and it you try to get around them you will fubar your system.
I would also recommend adding RPMForge as a means to acquire packages that may not be available in the standard CentOS distribution or the Fedora EPEL repository.
Also see: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge
I typically find everything I need in RPMForge, but will cherry-pick certain packages from EPEL when necessary.
