When my grandson comes over, he runs for the Kidz Delight right away, and it keeps him entertained when he gets bored or grumpy. It also helps improve his attention span.

The answer to the question that has long puzzled Simpson's fans for years has finally been revealed. Every occasional viewer knows that Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie live in Springfield. But which Springfield has never been revealed...until now.
The show's creator, Matt Groening, told the Smithsonian Magazine that the town is based on Springfield, Oregon.
The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show "Father Knows Best" took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown. When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name. I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, "This will be cool; everyone will think it's their Springfield." And they do.
In the article, Groening also talks about the development of the show and talks about how it became such a big success.

Duke Ellington —
Will Big Bands Ever Come Back? ... LP
Reprise, 1962. Very Good+ ....
The question in the title is almost a moot point – because with the quality of a record like this, we hardly care if other bands come back at all! Duke's working here on a batch of older big band standards – as you might guess from the title – but the tracks all have a nice...

Don Elliott & Rusty Dedrick —
Counterpoint For Six Valves ... LP
Riverside, 1956. Very Good+ ....
One of the most modern moments from Don Elliott in the 50s – a twin-trumpet album that's awash in counterpoint experiments of the time! Trumpeter Rusty Dedrick joins Don in the frontline – working together in tight head arrangements that have a strong chamber feel to them, but then...

(Blue label Bill Grauer Productions pressing, with the deep groove & smaller inner label. Cover has light wear, a bit of seam splitting, and some yellowing tape on one seam and spine.)
Don Ellis —
Live In 3/2/3/4 Time ... LP
Pacific Jazz, Mid 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ....
Fresh and modern big band work – with a nice dash of soul, and some of the early traces of funk that would later show up heavily in Ellis' 70s work! Tracks are long, and in compelling time structures – as indicated by the titles – and groove with an MPS-like approach to the work...

Herb Ellis & Charlie Byrd —
Guitar/Guitar ... LP
Columbia, 1964. Very Good+ ....
A nice early set from jazz guitar greats Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd – who would work together much more frequently in the years to come – but sharing a rare early 60s joint set on 1964's Guitar/Guitar! This is one of the earliest, if not the earliest pairings on record for these guys...

(White label 2 eye promo. Cover has a tracklist sticker, some tape on the spine, and WGN letters in marker on back.)
Herb Ellis & Stuff Smith —
Together ... LP
Epic, 1963. New Copy (reissue)....
Strings are king in this rare set from guitarist Herb Ellis and jazz violinist Stuff Smith – a date that's possibly more on Stuff's side of the spectrum, but which comes during a short by great run of Ellis work for Epic in the early 60s! Tracks are longer than you might expect –...

Solid State, 1970. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ....

(Cover has some wear and splitting on the top seams.)
Booker Ervin —
Space Book ... LP
Prestige, 1965. Very Good+ ....
Mindblowing work from Booker Ervin – one of our favorite albums ever from his years at Prestige, and a record that really earns its haunting title and cover image! Book's definitely headed out to space on this one – working in a freer mode than on some of his Texas tenor-styled albums...
read more
(Blue label pressing. Cover has some wear.)
Booker Ervin —
Trance ... LP
Prestige, 1965. Very Good+ ....
An amazing record from the legendary Booker Ervin – and a set that really does a great job of bridging his modernist tendencies and soul jazz roots! The title track – "The Trance" – is an amazing 20 minute number that takes up all of side one of the record – and...

read more
Alan Evans Trio —
Merkaba ... LP
Royal Family, 2013. New Copy ....
A great little set from Alan Evans – better known as the drummer in Soulive, but equally smoking out here on his own! Alan doesn't always record on his own, but when he does, it's usually a great thing – and this cooking little album definitely lives up to the funky tightness we'd...

Merkaba ... CD
Bill Evans —
Bill Evans Album ... LP
Columbia, Early 70s. Very Good+ ....
A pretty sublime album from Bill Evans – one that has him playing both Fender Rhodes and Steinway, overdubbed together, for an effect that's laidback and completely wonderful! The Fender Rhodes was a natural choice for Evans – given his fluid lyrical style, and on this set (and on his...
read more
(Original pressing. Cover has a tracklist sticker, light wear, and number of small stains on the front.)
Bill Evans —
Bill Evans Trio with Symphony Orchestra ... LP
Verve, 1966. Very Good Gatefold ....
Tremendous work from Bill Evans – one of his rare non-trio sides of the 60s – and a stunning batch of tunes with backings from the mighty Claus Ogerman! Most of the tunes here are of classical origin, but they're recast by Evans and Ogerman with almost a soundtrack sensitivity –...
read more
(White label promo, with deep groove. Cover has some wear.)
Bill Evans —
How My Heart Sings ... LP
Riverside/OJC, 1962. New Copy (reissue)....
Magical music from the very first note – the kind of record you need to hear if you've ever doubted the genius of Bill Evans! The sound here is subtle, and supple – but still often more revolutionary than that of the countless albums it inspired in years to come – and Evans is...
read more
Bill Evans —
Moonbeams ... LP
Riverside/OJC, 1962. New Copy (reissue)....
A very hip set from Bill Evans' second trio – the legendary lineup that featured Chuck Israels on bass and Paul Motian on drums! Both players bring Evans' sound to an even greater level of spaciousness – allowing for lyrical interplay that's completely amazing, and even furthers the...

Gil Evans —
Gil Evans Orchestra Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix ... LP
RCA, 1974. Very Good ....
Gil plays Jimi? Sounds like a gimmick, but it comes off pretty darn great – and it helps you forgive him for trying to convince the kids that he's not as old as his grey hair might make you think! As always with Evans, the key to the album is a beautiful balance between the strength of the...

(Orange label pressing. Cover has edge wear and a sticker on the front.)
Gil Evans —
Live At The Public Theater (New York 1980) (Japanese pressing) ... LP
Trio (Japan), 1980. Near Mint- ....

(Japanese pressing – with insert!)
Gil Evans —
There Comes A Time ... LP
RCA, 1976. Very Good+ ....
A pretty great 70s album from Gil – with some nice electric playing, and a good groove on the best cuts! The overall approach is still very striking – a 70s equivalent to Gil's famous 60s work – and as always with Evans, the players in the ensemble are impeccably well-chosen,...

(Cover has a cutout notch, some ring & edge wear, and some stains on the back.)

Richard Evans —
Richard's Almanac ... LP
Argo, 1959. Very Good- ....
A rare early trio session from bassist Richard Evans – known much more famously for his late 60s soul and jazz arrangements at Chess! The set's not only unique for it's exposure of Evans as a jazz artist, but it also marks one of the first appearances of pianist Jack Wilson – still a...

(White label promo. Vinyl has a few marks that click. Cover has some staining, light wear, and partially split top and bottom seams.)

(Limited numbered edition of 300 copies.)
David Eyges with Byard Lancaster & Sunny Murray —
Crossroads ... LP
Music Unlimited, 1981. Near Mint- ....
A live recording with a bit of a 70s loft jazz feel – Eyges on cello, in trio format with Byard Lancaster on reeds and Sunny Murray on drums. The strength of Lancaster's reeds carries the set, although Eyges does get in some nice bits on plucked cello from time to time. Titles include "...

Farah Quintet —
Farah Quintet ... LP
Timeless (Japan), 2012. New Copy Gatefold ....
A totally great little group – actually a quartet instead of a quintet, and one who work with the tight energy of some of the best Brazilian jazz combos of the bossa nova generation! The sound here isn't exactly bossa, but the groove is characterized by the same tight work on the drums you'd...

Tal Farlow —
Guitar Player (Red Norvo With Strings/Return Of Tal Farlow) ... LP
Prestige, 1955/1969. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ....
2 different slices of work from Tal Farlow! First is the 1955 album Red Norvo With Strings – originally issued under Norvo's name – a "with strings" session with a difference! This one's not the sleepy orchestral jazz set that you'd expect. Instead, it's a cool modernist...

Art Farmer —
Crawl Space ... LP
CTI, 1977. Very Good Gatefold ....
One of Art Farmer's funkiest records – a great batch of slow electric numbers with a stretched out feel, and an almost Freddie Hubbard-like approach to the groove! Players include Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, Dave Grusin, and Jeremy Steig – and although the date of this one is late, the...
read more
Art Farmer —
Manhattan ... LP
Soul Note (Italy), 1982. Very Good+ ....
Overlooked genius from Art Farmer – a less-remembered session from the early 80s, and one that features him in a hip quintet with the great Sahib Shihab! The feel here is as lyrical and laidback as some of Art's other work from the time, but the presence of Sahib on soprano and baritone...

Art Farmer —
Something You Got ... LP
CTI, 1977. Very Good+ Gatefold ....
A nice little funky album from Art – one that we might have been suspicious about at first, but which sits better and better with us as the years go by. Art's working here in the frontline with Yusef Lateef – another unlikely candidate for a record like this – and the pair get...

(Cover has a small spot of residue from price sticker removal.)
Art Farmer —
Time & The Place (2LP pressing) ... LP
Columbia, Mid 60s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ....
Fantastic stuff from Art Farmer, and a real return to more soulful playing, after noodling around a lot with other odd projects during the mid 60s. The group's stone cold and solid – with Cedar Walton on piano, Jimmy Heath on tenor, Walter Booker on bass, and Mickey Roker on drums –...
read more
(Cover has a crease on one corner.)
Art Farmer/Benny Golson —
Meet The Jazztet ... LP
Argo, 1960. Very Good+ ....
Just Sold Out!
Landmark work by one of the greatest jazz outfits of the early 60s! Art Farmer and Benny Golson were both known as well-composed players during the 50s – strongly soulful, but often with a fine sense of arrangement that usually tended towards the lyrical side of things. With this group,...

(Orange label Cadet pressing. Cover has a cut corner and some wear.)
Joe Farrell —
Moon Germs ... LP
CTI, 1973. Very Good Gatefold ....
One of the best records ever cut by funky sax man Joe Farrell! The album's got a stripped down, choppy groove – virtually the blueprint for later 70s funk of this type, and played perfectly by Farrell and a very hip quartet lineup! Players include Joe on soprano and tenor sax, Herbie...

Victor Feldman —
Victor Feldman Plays Everything In Sight ... LP
Pacific Jazz, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ....
They certainly got the title right on this one – as Feldman moves from his usual staid jazz mode, to come up with a very groovy LP! In the course of the album, Vic gets his hands on conga, sand blocks, vibes, drums, organ, electric piano, tympani, tambourine, jawbone, novachord, and a lot...

(Cover has some light wear – vinyl is nice.)
Dee Felice Trio —
In Heat ... LP
King/Bethlehem, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)....
A killer album of soul jazz piano instrumentals – produced by James Brown! The Dee Felice Trio were a groovy combo from Cincinnati, and James Brown took a shine to them at some point in the late 60s. They backed James on one record, but their big moment was this album – which had...

Hilton Felton —
Best Of Hilton Felton 1970 to 1974 ... LP
Jazzman (UK), Early 70s. New Copy ....
A great introduction to the awesomely funky music of Hilton Felton – an artist who's got a heck of a lot to offer, and who issued some amazing albums on his own great label during the 70s! Felton's a real original – a multi-talented guy, an inspirational businessman, and an all-around...

Maynard Ferguson —
Come Blow Your Horn ... LP
Cameo, 1964. Very Good ....
A surprisingly nice album of big band material from Maynard – recorded at a time when he was just getting his start as a big name, and still handling some hip enough players to make the groove swing! One track claims to have a "Dusan Goykovich" as a soloist – who we can only...

Maynard Ferguson —
Storm ... LP
PAJ, 1982. Very Good+ ....
Titles include "Admiral's Horn", "Jar Star", "Take The A Train", "Latino Lovewalk", "Sesame Street", "As Time Goes By", "Go With The Flow", and "Hit In The Head"....

(Includes the insert. Cover has some wear.)
Maynard Ferguson —
Trumpet Rhapsody ... LP
MPS, Late 60s. Very Good+ ....
The hard wailing trumpet of Maynard Ferguson gets a perfect showcase on this obscure MPS session from the 60s – a record that offers up a nice bridge between his earlier albums on Roulette, and his more famous funk sides for Columbia! The sound here is mostly acoustic, but definitely hard-gro...

(US pressing. Cover has a crinkled top right corner – otherwise it's in great shape.)
Bryan Ferry Orchestra —
Jazz Age ... LP
BMG, 2013. New Copy ....
A totally great project from Bryan Ferry – completely unlike anything that he or Roxy Music have ever done in the past – even though the whole thing is a tribute to the glory days of the group! The tunes are all famous 70s tracks by the group, but they're redone here as jazz...

William Fielder —

Eddie Fisher & The Next One Hundred Years ... LP
Cadet, 1970. New Copy (reissue)....
Madly tripped out guitar funk – and a real turning point in the career of guitarist Eddie Fisher! Eddie began his career as a straighter guitarist on the St Louis scene – and although his first album for Cadet was a relatively traditional soul-jazz outing, this one's a wild batch of...

Publicity and Media Tips
One of the most common complaints of small business owners is that they do not have the budget for advertising. While that is usually true, that does not mean you cannot get your message out there, and reach thousands of interested readers with the information you would like them to see.
A good idea is to take a look at other press releases on line or off, and make a note of the style that they are written in. That will give you a good idea of how to write a press release, but what about content? For that, you will have to find something newsworthy to write about. It could be the launch of your company, or a new product, or a successfully completed project. It could be a new appointment, or an upgrade to your services. Nearly every company, even small businesses, have at least a few newsworthy stories to share, and those are the ones you want to turn into press releases.
There are even free online press release portals that you can submit your news to yourself, which have a global following, and they are a great way to get started with your own publicity drive.A better idea would be to write an informative article on your industry or speciality, and submit it to trade publications in your area. If it is published, you will usually have your name, company information and contact details included with your article, and you could find yourself getting business that way.The main benefit of using publicity and media instead of traditional advertising is that it is a lot cheaper than paying for advertising. You can do most of the work yourself, or you can hire a freelancer to craft your press releases and other materials for you.
Getting to know the editors of magazines and other print publications can be the trickiest part of the publicity and media process, but focusing on publications that are closely related to your field is usually the easiest way to get around this problem.Deciding what's newsworthy and what's not can also be a learning curve, but if your press releases and articles are well written and topical, you should find that eventually, you are taken seriously, and your content is published. So why not start looking for newsworthy information about your business, and practice writing press releases, or think up new ways that you can get local media attention? It is a great way to get free advertising, and will certainly get your business on the map.

While there is no cure for autism spectrum disorders, researchers and clinicians are constantly working to find better ways to treat and diagnose this complex set of disorders. From 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 9, autism experts from the University of Rochester and Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) will hold a conference to share the work they're doing to improve the lives of children with autism and their families.
The conference, which is free and open to the public, will focus on research going on at the University of Rochester, as well as collaborative work with other institutions, through partnerships like the Autism Treatment Network (ATN).
This event will take place in Helen Wood Hall's nursing auditorium, which is located at 255 Crittenden Blvd., Rochester. Attendees can park in the Saunders Research Building Lot. The first 75 who register will receive free parking.
Please call (585) 275-7701 by Thursday, June 7, to register.
Last year, Golisano Children's Hospital launched a $100 million campaign to build a new hospital and enhance specific programs, such as our autism spectrum disorders program. With autism prevalence rates having jumped up to 1 in 88 children in the United States this year (1 in 54 boys), we have to continue to improve our services to children and our partnerships in the community to address the needs of affected children and their families. This conference aims to help families better understand current research so they can advocate for their children and to learn how to participate in studies.
Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) is the area's only children's hospital, serving as the referral center for all seriously ill or injured children from the 17-county Finger Lakes region. The children's hospital, a division of URMC and located within Strong Memorial Hospital, is committed to treating all children regardless of their family's ability to pay.

Multiple groups on the same course...
I wanted to start a discussion about multiple groups on the same course and the best way to deal with it... I know we have to have it with all the racers these days, but what is the best, safest way to handle certain situations - like at the finish?
I was in the Cat 3 mens race at Snelling. There was a break of about 14 guys up the road and I was in the main chase pack. As our group turned the final corner to finish the race there were two solo riders from other groups slowly riding down the center of the finish stretch we were going to be spinting on.... Some would say, why are you guys even sprinting for 15th place? I guess that's racing.... regardless, we passed the first rider chaoticly but safely... the second we started to pass inside 200m to go with guys going on both sides of this slow riding person.... That person was, I think, surprised by the group and from what I heard moved quickly to one side where I ended up in the wrong place and on the ground with a broken bike....
I also heard that our case wasn't the only one on the day....
Should officials give out "overtaking rules"? Should an official manage small slow groups, pulling them to the side within the last 1k if in danger of being overtaken?
Curious of the thoughts out there...
Mad Axeman wrote:First, we didn't have a pile up at McClane last year. What we had was one field sprinting into the back of another. The masters didn't go down. These two situations are nothing alike.
Second, we were not sprinting for 15th place at McClane, we sprinting for the win.
The masters didn't go down but one gal got pummeled, remember? Ask sabine. So it is alike, a sit-up in either case would have avoided some raw skin and busted aluminum. It sounds like a double standard, 35+ are entitled to sprint through because of the ungodly sacrifices made to be there, but 3s should have been in the break and if not, should sit up instead of sprinting.
Now you may see the 35+ going for the win @mclane as being completely different from the 1st-chase pack sprint in the 3s at snelling. So a pummeled W3/4 is collateral damage but a road-rashed broken-bike 3 is a chump for bothering to sprint into traffic. I don't, they kind of sound the same, both stupid crashes in what's supposed to be weekend recreation. An undeniable commonality is that only one year later, people are equally likely to remember who got 1st at mclane 35+, or 15th in the snelling 3s. This stuff just isn't important vs risking injuries.
Plus from what I read and heard that win in 35+ isn't worth spit because a bunch of the more sensible (& faster) riders sat up to avoid taking out more women.
I'm sure you ride responsibly in these sitns, but your comments were a wee bit pompous...get in the break, go for the bridge has anybody seen the bridge? where's that confounded bridge! and all that. And if you're not in the hunt, sit up. Unless you're the 35+ in which case the whole field might choose to sprint through lesser fields, it's asking a lot to have everyone sit up after spending all that money on vo2 max tests and ceramic bearings.
That's not the answer, the answer is to abandon a sprint when these things set up no matter what field you're in and who's in your way. Most of the time there's plenty of room but sometimes not and you don't just ride through anyway. By 3s everyone should know that. It'd be great if finish-line catches never happen but they're going to happen again. Next time the OTBs should be on the right gutter and thinking as if they are riding on an airport runway, because the finish-area tarmac has similar significance (anyone coming in for a landing?). If the OTBs are daydreaming about LH instead, that's too bad but the 3s should sit up if they lack a clear-enough path through. And next time the gals should be moto neutralized miles before the finish so they don't finish with the 35+. If they aren't b/c the moto is dealing with a crash the 35+ should sit up and maybe they can organize a "first to my Bimmer" scratch race at the end.
I remember doing this wrong once, years ago, so that's how I know. Not the finish-as-runway thing I figured that one out myself, but knowing when to shut off the gas at a S/F line with other fields. Nobody went down but it was all kinds of sloppy. Is that the way to learn it or is this another chapter for the upgrade book?
Te Women 4B are posted as the Women 4A. Women 4A are AWOL.
Im sure that if the results exist they will be posted, eventually. The Cat 3 women results and one of the Cat 4 women's groups also appear to be on the missing list.
Hmm, it looks like the entire Junior 13-14 Boys results are missing. Too bad. They were posted at registration.
Well once everyone has left the race site the results are final. This is a case of misidentifying the race categories ( actually I think a couple of categories might be missing also) in the spreadsheet that gets uploaded to USAC. A simple fix really if you have the ability to edit the results. Unfortunately since I didn't upload the results I can't edit them to the correct category names.
That's good to know. Thanks Casey. I figured if the results were up on USA Cycling they were final. I was actually surprised to see them up so soon. My son was very pleased with his 3rd place and has been waiting to see what the rest of the results were.
Yes the mistakenly identified groups in the Snelling results are being worked on. Actually I think the 10-18 Jr Mens group is really one of the Jr Women's groups. A little time is needed when working with new software to get things perfect.
Speaking of the Junior Points Series, the results for the Snelling 13-14s posted on USA Cycling are a mess.
The "Men 10-18," presumably they mean 13-14, judging by what else is up there, includes just two finishers--both girls. What happened to the other 20-25 or so 10-14-year-olds who raced?
Not to mention the fact that the Men Cat 3 are listed as Women Cat 3. etc.
In the first wave, the end of lap one saw one field only two minutes behind the next field, and overlapping would be inevitable. The second wave saw the cat 1/2 field decimated into more than three groups at the end of lap one, yet the only crash to note was the solo leader, who had a HUGE gap on everyone else at the time.
As for scoring only down to 15th place, since Snelling is part of the Junior Points Series, every junior rider who finishes should be recorded. And their "fields" were almost non-existent at the finish.
Riders don't listen much to start line instructions about overtaken because none of them believe they will find themselves in that situation.
For races and courses where things tend to break apart, announce on the start line that no places beyond 15 will be recorded. There will be even less reason to sprint in dangerous scenarios.
Quote:a break of 11 got of and was never caught
Which makes the sprint even more justified. I know at least 1 of those 11 fell off the break, as we passed him with maybe a mile to go. What's the chance that at least one more fell off? Or two or three? How much would it suck to not sprint and find out that you missed out on a top 10?
OK, not enough to risk crashing into/freaking out/annoying ANYONE, naturally.
But (as MA said) the impulse is to sprint and try to be safe, which is precisely what happened. We all probably should have swung left, as the rider would have gone right, and if we had a do-over, that would be good.
Mad Axeman wrote:Some of this could be cured by the 3s racing instead of the whole pack sitting in and waiting for a field sprint.
Have you guys ever heard the word "bridge"?
Try bridging to the break instead of towing the whole friggen pack up.
Or try jumping across instead of waiting for the sprint.
It was a windy day, that 3s pack should have been blown apart, not coming in for a big field sprint.
To quote Steve Madden my old coach, "if a road race comes down to a field sprint, something went terribly wrong".
If you were not so afraid to try something different and put your nose in the wind, you might not have a broken bike.
Of course, if you knew you were out of the hunt, you could have sat up and not gotten mixed up in the cluster F*&^.
Either way, it sounds like a series of bad decisions on the part of the 3s field. Stop blaming other people for the end result of your poor choices and unwillingness to hang it out and try something different during the race.
Attack, it's a good thing.
-R I'm not sure if you actually saw any of this race, but the 3's pack was absolutely decimated during this race. It started with 100 riders and on lap 2 a break of 11 got of and was never caught. The chase pack was about 35 riders and several people tried to bridge but could not due to the wind. Any serious chase attempts were covered by the represented teams (Wells Fargo, Webcor/AV, etc.). There wasn't any of this sitting in and waiting for a field sprint......in any case, I agree that riders could have made better judgements in the sprint for 12th....
Quote:You have couple of facts incorrect
...also: the two OTBs seemed to be from the W4 field.
So, I'm not 100% sure they were thinking about Maxim magazine.
You have couple of facts incorrect, and you are taking my old post out of context.
First, we didn't have a pile up at McClane last year. What we had was one field sprinting into the back of another. The masters didn't go down. These two situations are nothing alike.
Second, we were not sprinting for 15th place at McClane, we sprinting for the win.
Casey's comment for people to sit up when it was for the win is a lot different than my comment telling people to sit up when they are sprinting for 15th, 20th, or 25th place.
BTW: At Cantua, in the 3s, when we came up on the riders from the other field that were noodling (as described), I shut my sprint down rather than risking a crash.
I could have dove left and come around, but for what, 10th instead of 12th? No thanks, not at the risk of taking someone else or myself down.

Nah, it's all bike racing. Your point of view is as if there's only one good way of bike racing. You also neglect the simple fact that some people have the physiology to get in breaks and do well from there, while others are better-suited to getting their best results within bunch/field sprints.
Most of us see bike racing as... the non-sprinters should do all they can to win the race, but when they fail to do that it's the sprinters' turn to decide the race.
If a team has a sprinter who can win the race then the team can try to make the race play out in the best interest of their sprinter. If you're afraid of what will happen in a field sprint then get yourself to a safe place and stay there until it's over.
r4l must a graduated 8th grade cause that's some day-um fine writin there.
Madden wasn't referring to Pro races. Different playing field.
Sprinting for practice is fine, when it is safe.
But keep your head up and if there are obstacles, back it down a notch, there is nothing to be gained, unless you like scars and are in the market for a new bike. You are out of the money, and you are out of the upgrade points. Just pedal in, avoid obstacles and avoid becoming an obstacle.
If you didn't make the break and all the money is up the road, safety first, at this point you are just there for a workout.
I didn't make it out to Snellig due to illness, but I still donated money to Velo Promo so I was there in spirit. We had the same thing happen at Cantua last week in the 3's. Sprinting up the final hill (for 5th after 4 man break stayed away) there were 3-4 cat 1/2 guys spinning up the hill slowly talking shoulder to shoulder taking up half the road. Nobody went down but it surely screwed up out finish as they were less than 100 meters from the line. In the end they did the right thing, we yelled we were coming and they held their line so we could find away around them without having them swerve into us. That would be my advice if your ever in that situation..either hold your line or check your shoulder before moving over...sudden change of directions are never good in a bike race.

Let's not let that guy write the curriculum for the mandatory Cat 5 Upgrade clinic, the next Mcewen will never even make it to 4s.
MadAxe, to quote a local racer, writing last year on these boards about a similar pile-up at mclane's s/f involving the 35+123s:
"I think you need to be careful about how you put things. Your comment is questionable and lacks a substantial amount of consideration/respect for the riders and everything they go through in training, preparation, financial expense, and getting up at O-Dark 30 to come out to race. Expecting people to just sit up and through the race [sic] is unreasonable."
As is the claim that everyone should be bridging or breaking or noodling back to the car, so the only good pack is a blown-apart one. It's only Feb and that may win silliest post of 2008, email jesster to claim your bottle of 2 buck chuck.
And remember the voice of reason reply, hernando, same thread:
"How in the WORLD do we educate riders to stop being jerkwads and obey laws, race safely, and make good choices that sometimes (gasp) may mean disregarding a frickin' result to ensure the safety of riders/spectators/volunteers/ and officials? "
I wasnt in Snelling but my GUESS is the two OTBs had been in the wind all day and had no idea the pack was there, because the cold patched circa-1958 pavement had rattled loose their corneas, ear drums and naughty-bits, and if any thought was going through their heads, they were looking at all the fresh tar nuggets stuck to their down tube and, naturally, fantasizing about liz hatch's Maxim spread. They shouldn't have been there in the middle of the road, of course not, but they were, so...
..for the 3s, if you rode that god for saken crappy pavement all morning and weren't in the break (maybe because you're not so stupid as to chase a team mate), well why not sprint at the end? I'd sprint, so should you. Except Madaxe who is always in the break or bridging to it, or doing something different, or sitting up.
SO a squirreley tired not in the break 3s field came through those two lumbering hatch-obsessed whales and it was most certainly in a way that caused the crash. I mean come on. It's already a "why not, I paid my 25 bucks?" sprint so you give up at even the slightest hint of somthings-off-edness. You have a long line of site and it's uphill and I imagine no 11s were being spun at triple digit rpms through that last right hander. It was march of the living dead cat 3 style. Who can't brake & evade in that kind of sprint? You can go from 20 to 0 in like 2m or, god forbid, steer to an area of space not currently occupied by a solid.
Is that going to be in the upgrade clinic and test? Question one - essay - describe the implications of the Pauli Exclusion Principle on the finish at snelling, whence there are two bicycles juxtiposed betwix said finish line and yourself.

well, that's not exactly fair. OK: a good number of people were sitting in. I tried to get off the front a few times, only to find that I was alone or with just one other dude. Pretty tough going alone in that wind. I know I wasn't strong enough.
But the issue was that there were 3 big teams, which comprised a good amount of the field. They all had representation up front, which meant blocking and neutralizing attacks.
It would have been great if some of us no-team-maters could have organized a coalition of the willing, but that just didn't seem to be in the cards. For his part, I can vouch that Jim was up front, trying to get the pace going.
Some of this could be cured by the 3s racing instead of the whole pack sitting in and waiting for a field sprint.
Have you guys ever heard the word "bridge"?
Try bridging to the break instead of towing the whole friggen pack up.
Or try jumping across instead of waiting for the sprint.
It was a windy day, that 3s pack should have been blown apart, not coming in for a big field sprint.
To quote Steve Madden my old coach, "if a road race comes down to a field sprint, something went terribly wrong".
If you were not so afraid to try something different and put your nose in the wind, you might not have a broken bike.
Of course, if you knew you were out of the hunt, you could have sat up and not gotten mixed up in the cluster F*&^.
Either way, it sounds like a series of bad decisions on the part of the 3s field. Stop blaming other people for the end result of your poor choices and unwillingness to hang it out and try something different during the race.
Attack, it's a good thing.
You can also request a hard copy be sent to you. Typically officials get one without asking. I'm not sure of the contact person on that one.
Of course the other easy way to find the rule book on the USAC site would be to use the search feature there on the bottom left side of the USAC site. You don't have to use Google for everything :)

Okay -- that one's non-obvious :). But it's also under Road->Road Rulebook, which I don't recall seeing before (but that doesn't mean it wasn't there :)).
With regard to fields mixing in the finish, i think some of this can be addressed through course design. I though VP did a great job of addressing the slightly sketchy Dunnigan Hills finish of previous years by adding a finish straight that is only ridden on the final lap. This obviously can't be done with every course, but it does help to seperate out the finishers from those riders still on the course. I'm sure it makes the officials jobs a bit easier as well.

Try even finding the rule book on usacycling.org! I typically give up and use google, which finds it no problem (google "site:usacycling.org rule book").
That definitely was an unfortunate moment, especially because it seemed that the pack was prepared to handle the finish appropriately. Before the hard left (narrow, gravel, etc), I said something along the lines of "sprinting for 15th, 1st race of the season, let's be calm", and got a lot of nods.
I think we approached the finishing rider as a 'road hazard'. But, of course, logs in the road don't get freaked out and suddenly move.'
Anyway: unfortunate for all involved. Luckily nothing overly-awful happened, but the lesson of pay attention at the finish is a good one to get early in the year.
I feel for Casey: I'm sure people were telling her to move to the right. But they were also telling her "go! hang in there! you can make it!" A lot to process when you're just trying to get across the line.
Glad you're alright, Jim.
I was a member of a party of three in the 45+ field that you politely informed that the Pro 1/2 men and women would be shortly overtaking us and to move to the right. As we were aproaching the rough section we did move to the right and rode over the "non preferred" side of the road to give the Pro's the good side. I pulled through the 1K sign and did a slow 90 degree turn into the final straight to avoid any fast flying bodies coming through. We were contesting maybe 20th place when my "sweeper" came flying around me at 200M, right up the center of the road, and almost got taken out by the Womens 1/2 field sprint. Yeah, he turned around and thanked me for "pulling" but not only did he not "check his mirrors" before moving into traffic, I don't think he had any idea of the carnage he could have caused. I looked at his number and it definately was not the person the number was assigned to but I'm sure he's happy that he outsprinted the two younger bucks.
Hey Jim,
Sorry about your broken bike.
I was at Snelling as well. What a day of great racing.I hope the weather is a little nicer next week.
As far as the passing of slower riders.If I am in the vicinity I will notify the slower rider of faster riders coming up from behind so to eliminate the element of surprise.Better yet I will suggest the slower rider go to one one side or the other.Hold your line they are told.Funny though on many occasions I see the faster riders put the slower rider and themselves at risk by putting the slower rider in their "gunsights" zeroing in and splitting off at the last second. Not good.
Slower riders are always going to exist. I am one of of them!
Be Careful out there people!
No it would be pretty simple to administer the test at the time of upgrade. It could be done via email since 99% of upgrade requests come via email. Yea the tests would basically be open book tests for everyone but to my mind getting people to actually read through the rule book once to find the answer to their test question would be much better than the situation right now ( since it is painfully clear to me that most riders have never read the rule book.
What's even more maddening is riders who ignore the CR instructions to NOT RIDE IN OTHER GROUPS!! This is illegal, but it also makes it much more difficult (if not impossible) to score the finish of each race. One group finished yesterday with FOUR different fields within it! If you are in the wrong group, at least pull out of it as you approach the finish line.
Quote:I have pushed for in the past that when upgrading riders should have to pass a written test involving rule book questions and common sense questions. Fail the test and you don't get your upgrade.
this almost had me on the floor. i dont think you really have the resources to administer tests for each and every rider wanting to upgrade. besides, knowing the rules is one thing, following them is another. not everyone drives the speed limit either but they all have licenses.
As Lorri said there is a very small window where riders will listen to the officials at the start before they tune out the officials. Basically if the official goes longer than 30 seconds most riders will tune them out and stop listening.
I have pushed for in the past that when upgrading riders should have to pass a written test involving rule book questions and common sense questions. Fail the test and you don't get your upgrade. This would at least force people to at least look at the rule book once in a while. The situation described by the OP is just once of not using common sense. If you are in a race and you are off the back by yourself or in a small group then it should be simple common sense to stay to the right and keep out of the way of any racing groups that might be coming up behind you. Also people should be aware of what and who is coming up behind them. Then again to many riders will yell and scream at someone who is out in the road and possibly in the way of their sprint but as soon as they get off the bike they are standing out in the road where they are possibly in the way of others who are still racing ( or non-race traffic using the road).

Should officials give out "overtaking rules"? Should an official manage small slow groups, pulling them to the side within the last 1k if in danger of being overtaken?
Curious of the thoughts out there...
The Chief Ref should give every group "overtaking rules" at the start line. They should explain what it means to be neutralized if you're overtaken by another group. They should also explain what to do if you're the group who is overtaking another group (or individual riders).
Unfortunately, I think a lot of racers don't listen to the pre-race instructions given by the CR (especially more experienced racers who feel they know all the rules).
In the case of Snelling, there could be an official and/or course marshall positioned at the last turn and one positioned at the turn onto Figmond. These two individuals could communicate with each other and direct/warn groups heading into the finish stretch about faster groups that are behind. Not a perfect system, but could work.
I watched the sprint in question yesterday, standing at the finish line. We were yelling at the two racers who were being overtaken, directing them to move right. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to hear or understand us.
Bummer about your bike and your unfortunate finish.
plain and simple, those idiots should have cleared the course or stayed to the right. if they dont they should be fined or not be allowed to race for like a month.
as for pulling them, i know we do it in crits all the time, but RRs are a bit more complex, the promoters should have had the forsight to see a group coming down the "alley" and made sure it was clear. obviously if the break has come in, the peleton is soon behind and they need to be a bit more vigilant in regards to riders safety. cant wait until winters when the tacks will for sure line the roads again and then we can have this discussion once more.

MPAA names former Neustar executive as COO
Diane Strahan has been named chief operating officer of the Motion Picture Association of America, former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the CEO of the film lobby, said on Friday.
Strahan formerly served as the senior vice president of mobile and Internet registry services at Neustar, where she led the company's mobile and registry service group, according to her LinkedIn profile. She has also served as an executive at TechnoServe and AOL, and sat on the board of the Mobile Marketing Association.
In a statement, Dodd said Strahan's background in the tech industry will be beneficial to the MPAA as the film and TV industry continues to adapt to the changing digital media environment.
"Technology, innovation, industry alliances and audience engagement play increasingly important roles as the motion picture and television industry continues to advance into a new era," Dodd said in a statement. "Diane's leadership talent will be a major asset for the MPAA and the studios we represent."
"Throughout my career, I've contributed to global enterprises as well as start-ups in the converging world of digital technology, content and communications," Strahan said. "The MPAA is at the center of this convergence and I look forward to helping advance the common interests of the film and tech industries so consumers can benefit from a richer and more seamless entertainment experience."
Bob Pisano had previously served as the COO and president of the MPAA, though he stepped down in Sept. 2011, a few months after Dodd joined the film lobby. Pisano had also served as the interim CEO of the MPAA while it searched for the next person to head up the lobbying group.

The Critical Site Network (CSN) Tool is a new online resource for the conservation of 294 species of waterbirds and the important sites upon which they depend in Africa and Western Eurasia. Leading global conservation organisations working for the protection of waterbirds and their habitats have joined forces to develop this tool, strengthening the implementation of the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsUNEP-WCMC provides access to data, information documents and analytical tools relevant to the CITES community and other biodiversity related Conventions.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsUNEP-WCMC provides a range of services to the European Commission in support of effective implementation of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThe WDPA-Marine is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive set of marine protected areas (MPAs) data available. The dataset focuses on MPAs and representation of the diverse species and habitats found in the marine environment. The tools itself features the attributes of each MPA, gives users an advanced search function, provides a viewer through Google Earth and links through to other detailed information such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThese posters display the growing depth of the collaboration between UNEP-WCMC and the CITES Secretariat from 1979 to 2004.
Resource Type: PostersBased on input from more than 100 experts, this book aims to provide the most detailed assessment ever of the worldwide distribution and conservation status of national parks and reserves. It examines the relationship between people and protected areas, investigates threats and opportunities, cites the history of protected areas, provides expert conservation advice and celebrates the success of protected areas around the world.
