The BMC Racing Team has announced contract renewals for Brent Bookwalter, Marcus Burghardt, Yannick Eijssen, Martin Kohler and Danilo Wyss. The five riders will be among 28 who will be introduced Friday at the team's 2014 presentation at Velodrome Suisse in Grenchen, Switzerland.
All Fill Important Roles
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said while the five have different responsibilities and skill sets, they all fill important roles critical to the successes of the team. "Having raced for us before, they know our patterns, our system, and they understand our racing style," he said. "They fulfill an important need we have so our leaders can count on their skills to improve their results." Bookwalter won the opening stage of the Tour of Qatar on the way to finishing second overall there and also runner-up overall at the Tour of Alberta. The 29-year-old also won silver medals in the time trial and road race at the USA Cycling national championships, competed in the Tour de France and helped teammate Tejay van Garderen win the Amgen Tour of California and USA Pro Challenge. Burghardt, 30, was part of breakaways on three consecutive stages on the way to winning the king of the mountains classification at the Tour de Romandie. The German also finished his sixth Tour de France in as many starts and helped win the team classification at the Tour of Alberta. Eijssen earned a career-best, third-place finish on Stage 5 of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah that also won him "most aggressive rider" honors. The 24-year-old Belgian also finished his second straight Vuelta a España in as many starts. Kohler, 28, won a bronze medal at the Swiss national road championship and was fourth on Stage 18 of the Vuelta a España – a career-best result in a grand tour stage. The past Swiss national road (2012) and time trial (2011) champion also helped Thor Hushovd win two stages and the overall at the Arctic Race of Norway. Wyss, 28, registered a dozen top 10 finishes, including four at the Volta a Catalunya. The Swiss' 10th-place finish at Ster ZLM Toer was a career-best result at a stage race. Specific terms and other details of the contracts were not released.

More than half-a-dozen victories – including several Swiss national titles – highlight the BMC Development Team's list of accomplishments as the first-year squad reaches the midpoint of its season.
Several Riders Making Headlines
Silvan Dillier led the way with victories in the month of June in both the Swiss elite road race and the individual time trial in the past week, along with a win at Flèche Ardennaise on June 16. Stefan Küng won the Under 23 Swiss time trial last week and Tim Roe and Loïc Vliegen produced a 1-2 finish at Romsée-Stavelot-Romsée in Belgium on June 18. Most recently, three BMC Development Team riders placed in the top 10 at Oetingen on Wednesday: Jakub Novak was sixth, Vliegen was seventh and Dillier was ninth, while Novak earned "king of the mountain" honors. "The most amazing thing to me is that it's not just one rider winning; it's three or four different riders," BMC Development Team General Manager Rik Verbrugghe said. "We have so many good riders that people will be hearing about these guys a lot in the future. I am sure of that."
Two Big Races In July
One of the BMC Development Team's wins proved to be a milestone for Roe, who suffered through a host of health problems during two seasons with the BMC Racing Team. "To win the race was an amazing feeling," he said. "The last couple of years were not the years I had hoped for. But I kept telling myself that I needed to look forward, and focus on coming out the other side of this stronger both physically and mentally." For the month of July, the BMC Development Team will compete in two major stage races: Val d'Aosta in Italy on July 9-14 and the Cascade Cycling Classic in Oregon (July 17-21). "Val d'Aosta is like a small Tour de France," Verbrugghe said. "It's in the Alps with three stages in Italy and two in France – nearly all of them mountain stages and there's also a prologue." Racing on two different continents back-to-back will be a challenge, but one the team is ready to face, Verbrugghe said. "We have 14 good riders and everybody is going to ride and contribute in these two big races," he said.
Williams Out With Injury
The BMC Development Team did suffer a setback Thursday when Tyler Williams crashed and broke his left collarbone while competing at the Tour of America's Dairyland in Wisconsin. Verbrugghe said Williams had his sights set on strong finishes at the USA Cycling Amateur Road Championships in Madison, Wis., next week, and next month's Cascade Classic. "It's too bad that he's going to miss those races, but we will adjust his schedule so he can return in good form in time for the Tour de l'Avenir with the U.S. national team," Verbrugghe said. The eight-day race, which is considered a mini-Tour de France for young riders, begins Aug. 24.

NEW YORK, May 18 (Business Law Currents) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's trophy case gets a new addition with the conviction of Raj Rajaratnam, but shelf room is still available.
For all its publicity, the Rajaratnam case was merely one of many; since late 2009, insider trading probes related to Galleon have resulted in 13 additional guilty pleas. In recent months, some of the country's most prestigious names have been linked to what appears to be a widening net of scandals. Fallout from these and others yet to be named should continue to generate headlines for the foreseeable future. (more…)

Among the many different pieces of equipment required for fishing, fishing lures are perhaps the most important. A fishing bait, lures typically replicate different food sources, however they are sometimes designed to appeal to a fish's sense of territory, curiosity or aggression.
Primary types of fishing lures include:
Bass can be elusive and with the many different factors that affect lure selection, finding the best bass fishing lures for the situation can often be a dicey proposition. Location, temperature, water conditions and more can have an effect on fishing bait selection.
Before you buy a tackle box full of bass fishing lures, you may want to consider adding two to four of the best fishing lures around to your arsenal:
Created to imitate crawfish, salamanders and all sorts of creatures that trout eat, soft plastics are some of the most effective trout fishing lures available.
Particularly flexible in a variety of conditions, soft baits are some of the best fishing lures to have on hand when you're unfamiliar with what the conditions may be. With versions resembling grubs, craw-tubes, stick baits and more, these lures can be rigged in many different ways to help you keep your options open.
Elongated fishing lures that simulate baitfish, jerkbaits resemble are minnow-like lures that often attract some bigger than average fish on most days. Available in several levels of buoyancy, these narrow trout fishing lures are available in a range of sizes; typically most trout anglers will get the best results in the 2 to 2.5 inch range.

I've been enjoying your blog for a long time and have tried many of your wonderful recipes with great success. Thanks for all you do for all of us, Kalyn! As a fellow teacher, however, I have to comment (for the first time, by the way) on Friday's blog because I really don't think you want the word "decomposed" anywhere near a description of food; I think you meant "deconstructed," right? I'm hoping you'll take this in the constructive way it's intended, Kalyn, and not as a criticism. And please keep on doing what you're doing; I read you every single day! Happy Spring!

I had to Google it to see if I really messed, and I did see some recipes where they called it "decomposed salad." I see your point though, will change the name right now. (Glad to know you're enjoying the blog! And I am always happy to get feedback, even when I mess up!)

I received an announcement today from Davis Mergers and Acquisitions Group about super-regional security company ASG establishing a strategic relationship with Ray Cannedy Security & Investigations (RCSI), a guard company based in Wichita Falls, Texas. According to their website, RCSI is a provider of: patrol service, armed and unarmed guard service, courier service, and armored car service. Davis Mergers and Acquisitions Group represented RCSI in the transaction, the announcement said.
Integration companies partnering with guard companies is a trend we've seen lately. Securitas and Convergint partnered in 2011. Here's that story. Stanley partnered with U.S. Security Associates in April. Here's that story. And in 2009 guarding giant G4S got into integration with the acquisition of Adesta. Here's that story. So I assumed at first that this was the same sort of partnership, except on a much limited basis. However, I just spoke to Ralph Masino, CFO at ASG, and he clarified that the deal was, in fact, a small account acquisition deal. RCSI historically has done both guarding and some limited alarm monitoring, he said. The company decided to shed its alarm monitoring accounts, which were acquired by ASG, Masino said. RCSI is still continuing with all of its guard services.
Today, Ken Kirschenbaum, an industry attorney, broached the topic of valuation in the alarm industry in his email to subscribers. In the monitoring space, a company's valuation is based "exclusively on a multiple of RMR," Kirschenbaum explains. A reason for this is that, in a sale, an alarm company isn't selling its ongoing business so much as its subscriber accounts.
While the RMR multiple can shed light on the value of a company on the verge of a sale, it doesn't tell everything. In fact, as Kirschenbaum explains in the preface to an article by Dorsie Mosher of the Davis Group, RMR multiples can fall into a wide range based on several variables, such as contract stipulations, as well as financing and accounting decisions within the company.
This is why investors and financial institutions tend to prefer EBITDA—earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization—to RMR. They regard the former as the more telling valuation metric, says Mosher, because, simply put, the figure is less prone to flux due to uncontrollable variables. Through EBITDA, investors can get a better idea of how much cash will be generated to pay debts and finance future growth.
"A company can have $1 million in RMR and still be losing money, which is certainly not what the investor is looking for," Mosher writes.
Kirschenbaum, for his part, believes EBITDA is not about to replace RMR multiples as the primary valuation metric in the alarm monitoring space. But when it comes to mergers, acquisitions and financing, it's worth keeping in mind that RMR isn't the only valuation category all parties are taking into account.
Just last year, I wrote about leadership changes at DEFENDER Direct, the country's leading ADT dealer, when longtime employee Marcia Barnes took over as CEO and president, replacing company founder David Lindsey, who was stepping down to do philanthropic work.
Now, about 15 months later, Barnes is out and Lindsey is back in his old job, according to a recent news release from the Indianapolis-based company.
Here's some of what the company had to say:
Lindsey replaces Marcia Barnes, who has left the company to pursue other business interests. … "The board and I are grateful for Marcia's 13 years of leadership in the company, which helped us achieve our strong growth," said Lindsey. "Our company is at an exciting point in its journey and I look forward to continuing that momentum."
The release also said that, "the company has named Brad Cumings as chief marketing officer and has promoted Scott DeNardin to the role of regional VP of its HVAC business division."
Founded in 1998, DEFENDER bills itself as the nation's leading ADT dealer. It has more than 2,400 employees in 50 states and more than 140 branch offices, according to the company. Its residential services include offerings from Williams Comfort Air, a heating, cooling and plumbing company.
Barnes had been with the company since its early years and worked closely with Lindsey, rising to the rank of president before she became CEO. I've got a call in to DEFENDER to learn more about what the latest leadership change will mean for the company. Stay posted!
Canary, a New York City startup with what it bills as the "the first smart home security device for everyone," has managed to raise nearly $2 million in 35 days from prospective customers and supporters through crowdfunding.
The company's experience suggests this is a funding approach other security companies may want to take a look at.
I wrote about Canary—which is both the name of the company and the home security device it sells—back in July when it launched the campaign on Indiegogo. Like a canary in a coal mine, the company was trying to see how much support it could garner from crowdfunding and set its goal at a modest $100,000.
But it exceeded that on the first day. Now, with the campaign recently concluded, Canary has raised a total of $1,961,494 from 7,460 funders, according to Indiegogo's site. Most paid to receive one or more of the devices when they're made and shipped early next year, but 123 people paid $5 each just as supporters of the product who want to be kept updated on it as it goes into production.
Was Canary's crowdfunding experience unusual? According to a website called Android Police, the answer is "yes." Here's what was recently written about Canary on that site:
Relying on crowdfunding is inherently risky. Regardless of whether a project's on Kickstarter or Indiegogo, some never get a fraction of the funding they aim for. Others fall slightly short or, if they're lucky, barely manage to crawl over the finish line. Still, a select few completely blow the doors off. The Canary [is one of them].
Now, is this because Canary is truly the unique product it's billed to be or do crowdfunders just really like home security? Time will tell us the answer, I guess.
Aronson Security Group, the Washington-based independent integrator, is opening a new world headquarters in Renton, Wash. next week.
I'll be speaking with Phil Aronson on Aug. 29 about the new headquarters and other ASG news. Look for that story next week. The official opening is Wednesday, Sept. 5., so if you're in the Seattle area, give ASG a call to see if you can attend and get a tour of their new facility. The event starts at 3 and tours will go until 6 p.m.
In a prepared statement, Aronson said guests will tour ASG's new Business Optimization Center that "provides tangible examples" of how ASG ensures that an end user's security system aligns with organizational goals and also "follows a proper technology roadmap." The tour will illuminate how security data from "people, processes and ... technologies ... is gathered, organized, consumed and measured."
Aronson's father founded the company in 1963, so the opening of the new HQ coincides with the systems integrator's 50th year in business.
Over the weekend, the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response, a public-private partnership comprising stakeholders in property crime, announced the addition of a major manufacturer to its membership ranks. The company? Honeywell Security.
After speaking with some in the industry involved with PPVAR, including Keith Jentoft, president of Videofied and RSI Video Technologies, it is increasingly clear to me why this carries major implications for the future of video monitored alarm systems. A recurring theme I'm hearing is that Honeywell's decision to come on board with PPVAR reflects significant progress toward "mainstreaming" such systems.
In a PPVAR statement, Donald Young, president of PPVAR and chief information officer at Protection 1, said the following: "Honeywell will help us in our efforts to strengthen our partnerships with law enforcement using monitored video alarm as a mainstream solution." In the same statement, Scott Harkins, president of Honeywell Security Products Americas, stated: "Honeywell is pleased that the PPVAR supports continued police response to all burglar alarms. We also recognize that video verification is an important product category as we look to the future of security."
If you synthesize these two statements, PPVAR's message becomes clear. The organization encourages the mainstream adoption of video verification alarm systems in both commercial and residential settings, since this appears to be the trajectory monitored alarms are on. But what's also apparent in the statement, particularly through Harkins' quote, is that both the organization and its members remain firmly positioned as allies of the monitored alarm industry and its stakeholders in general—whether we're talking about video monitored alarm systems or traditional ones. PPVAR's emphasis is on priority response.
With monitored video alarm systems becoming more affordable, it may only be a matter of time before video verified alarm systems reach a tipping point in their adoption. It's a development that some in the industry, as well as in law enforcement, will hail—especially as municipalities across the country continue to search for ways to mitigate false alarms.
Honeywell's membership status with PPVAR only helps advance the industry closer to that adoption tipping point. On that front it is a major illustration of progress. Equally instrumental for achieving broader adoption, however, could be PPVAR's positioning itself not as a threat to the existing, largely non-video installer base, but as an ally.
2GIG is still innovating. That's the message I got yesterday from a briefing with Bruce Ehlers, SVP engineering for Linear, and Mike O'Neal, Linear president. It's also working with some providers it did not work with previously. The 2GIG panel has historically worked with alarm.com software. Ehlers and O'Neal emphasized that it still works with alarm.com, but it now also will work with iControl, Telular and Uplink.
"We are not walking away from alarm.com. We have a strong relationship with alarm.com. But, we're now providing an alternative [for dealers] who want an alternative," O'Neal said.
You'll remember that Linear's parent company, Nortek, aquired 2GIG in February. Here's that story. Linear and 2GIG's relationship goes back to 2007, however, when the companies began working together to develop the Go!Control panel. Once it was developed, Linear manufactured the panel, and it continues to manufacture it today.
2GIG and summer-model giant Vivint have always been separate companies, but they had the same owners until the Nortek acquisition in February. Now, "Linear and 2GIG are one and VIvint is a customer, one that we intend to support for a long time, but a customer," Ehlers said.
One of the benefits of the acquisition, Ehlers said, is that there was a perception previously that dealers who bought the 2GIG product were buying a Vivint product. The perception is going away, particularly as Linear continues to develop new feature sets for the panel and to develop new partnerships, Ehlers said.
O'Neal said there was some concern six months ago that "somehow Linear would pull the 2GIG product in and rest on our laurels of the past. But what you're seeing now is that we're taking the product further. In the next six to 12 months you'll see more innovation than what you've seen in the past. Bruce and his team are taking the historical product well beyond where it has been."
"Linear is investing in the innovation that was the hallmark of VIvint and 2GIG in the past. We're not taking our foot off the pedal," O'Neal said.
The acquisition and separation from Vivint "is opening up a pent-up demand for 2GIG," he said. More dealers are signing up and non-Vivint sales of the 2GIG panel are 30 percent ahead of where they were one year ago, according to O'Neal. The company is also recruiting 50 engineers to work on this and other Linear products, he said.
Over the course of June and July, fourteen companies renewed their eligibility with IQ Certification, an installation quality certification program for alarm companies. The group of re-certifiers includes COPS Monitoring, based in Williamstown, N.J., Monitoring America Alarm Co-op of Tulsa, Okla., and General Monitoring Services, based in Huntington Beach, Calif.
Founded in 1997, the IQ Certification Program, headquartered in Erie, Pa., is based on one fundamental principle: security systems that are properly designed, professionally installed, feature the best equipment, and are monitored correctly tend to function free of failure or false alarms. A fifth component of a sound security system, according to the website, is providing users with education and training as well.
To earn IQ Certification, alarm companies must undergo a rigorous evaluation by the IQ Certification Board, which is comprised of law enforcement, fire, state regulatory and insurance industry representatives, the program's website notes. The certification standards are extensive and specific. The website features a code of ethics and PDFs on program bylaws and polices and guidelines. To become re-certified, companies must demonstrate to the board on an annual basis that they meet the required standards.
The expansion of a program like IQ Certified, first and foremost, reflects the industry's dual commitment to mitigating flaws, such as false alarms, and making users better attuned to managing their systems. The guidelines expounded on the website also demonstrate a concerted push for cohesiveness and standardization in the interest of quality and functionality.
Interestingly enough, I began learning about the IQ Certification Program mere minutes after reading an opinion piece, published on MSN Money, titled "14 reasons monitored home security isn't worth it." The article, while somewhat disconcerting, is nevertheless worth a read, if only because it offers a window into certain non-industry attitudes about home security.
Yes, the opinion piece is critical of monitored systems, often unduly so. The tone is one of exasperation and hyperbole. But few things can better counteract the negative perceptions detailed in this piece than a rigorous, quality-focused program like IQ Certification, an organization aimed at rectifying problems rather than dwelling on them.
AT&T just launched Digital Life, its home automation/home security product, this April. But it's already approaching its goal of expanding into 50 markets by the end of 2013.
The Dallas-based telecom announced today that as of Friday, Aug. 23, it will introduce Digital Life in six more markets: Orlando, Fla.; Providence, R.I.; Virginia Beach, Va.; and the cities of Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse in New York.
That will bring the number of markets for Digital Life to 39, just 11 shy of the company's year-end goal of 50 new markets.
After successful trials of Digital Life last year in Dallas and Atlanta, AT&T in April launched the service in 15 additional major markets nationwide, ranging from San Francisco to Miami, and has rapidly been adding on other markets.
In July, for example, AT&T introduced the service in Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis; San Diego; San Jose, Calif.; and Tampa, Fla.
Digital Life is professionally installed and also professionally monitored by At&T's two monitoring centers, one here and one in Atlanta. In June, the company announced that had received Five Diamond certification from the Central Station Alarm Association for its monitoring capabilities.
Customers can use their existing home broadband provider and any wireless phone service to use Digital Life, the company said.
OK, there were enough rumors in early July about activist hedge-fund manager William Ackman planning to take a stake in The ADT Corp. that they caused ADT stock to temporarily skyrocket. But it turned out that Ackman instead had his sights set on industrial gas maker Air Products & Chemicals, of which he now is that company's biggest shareholder, owning 9.8 percent.
But perhaps that's good a thing for ADT, given the news yesterday that Ackman's failed two-year effort to remake traditional department store J.C. Penney ended in his exit from Penney's board. His decision to step down was voluntary but there is speculation his leaving was "under duress," according to Reuters.
Ackman's activism and ADT—who knows where that might have led?
Here's more from Reuters report yesterday on the J.C. Penney dust up:
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman's two-year campaign to transform department store J.C. Penney came to an abrupt end on Tuesday with his decision to step down from the board, after a weeklong public spat with fellow board members.
Ackman's decision to leave comes after a failed two-year attempt by his $11.2 billion hedge fund to remake Penney into an upscale retail chain and a week of public fighting with other board members, including interim CEO Officer Myron (Mike) Ullman.
People close to Ackman and the retailer said his decision to leave the board was necessary for Penney to focus on its operations and continue the search for a new chief executive.
Ackman agreed to step down on Monday night, and the move removes a major distraction as Penney prepares for the holiday season. Some retail analysts said the public feuding threatened to unnerve vendors and lenders.
Penney's shares closed down 3.7 percent at $12.68 on the New York Stock Exchange.
... Ackman's Pershing Square Management Capital Management started buying Penney shares nearly three years ago to the day, paying an average of $22 for 39 million shares. The hedge fund now holds nearly 18 percent of Penney's stock.
If Ackman were to sell them at current prices, he'd lose $356 million, or a 40 percent loss.
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman's two-year campaign to transform department store J.C. Penney came to an abrupt end on Tuesday with his decision to step down from the board, after a weeklong public spat with fellow board members.
Ackman's decision to leave comes after a failed two-year attempt by his $11.2 billion hedge fund to remake Penney into an upscale retail chain and a week of public fighting with other board members, including interim CEO Officer Myron (Mike) Ullman.

Tacx Tao Water Bottle Cage $20.00
The Tacx Tao Water Bottle Cage is the only cage that seems to have a foothold against the Elite monopoly in the pro peloton. The Tao has a very modern look and won't mark up your bottles. Te full-wrap design ensures that your bottles stay put, even over the roughest cobbles or early-spring potholes. Available in Silver and Black.

Tacx Tao Water Bottle Cage

Great budget alternative
S McBean
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Let's compare to the Arundel Mandible. The Tacx is 42 grams versus 29 grams for the Arundel, but the Tacx is 1/4 the price. You carry 12 more grams with the Tacx, plus the weight of the cash you saved.
It is very important that your frame's water bottle bosses are threaded holes to accept a bolt going through the bottle cage. This cage absolutely will NOT work on a frame where the bottle bosses have threaded screws coming out of the frame and expect a nut from the bottle cage side. This is why I have to use Arundels on my Parlee, even thought the trusty Tacx is just as good.
Are you using an internal Campagnolo EPS battery mounted inside your seat tube?
S McBean
Nope, Shimano Di2, not Campy EPS, but that's not the drving factor here--some frame mfrs will not drill through carbon tubes. Parlee, for example, will not drill through the stock Enve tubes they buy, so they glue on a water bottle boss. (They could, but choose not to.) That means no threaded hole on the frame. The eyelets on the Tacx cage are just very thick, let me guess 3-4mm. If your frame has these "male" threaded water bottle bosses sticking out of the frame, no way they gave you enough threads to get through the Tacx eyelets. I hope that makes sense.
Is opposite of lock jaw
Colorado Chris
It works well since it has such large "hug" area around your water bottle but mine has slight play in it (doesn't rattle the bottle around but you can jiggle the bottle ever so slightly). Kids like it since they don't have to fight to get their bottle out; which can sometimes be dangerous since they swerve as they pull out of stiffer cages. I wouldn't rec for mountain biking. As with all cages will eventually leave some marks on bottles. Very light and durable; my 2 are over 3 yrs old...this might be the cause of the looser fit. Never lost a bottle on the road.

There's a report that the Dodgers are shopping Yasiel Puig. It makes no sense. | HardballTalk
Sorry, the idea that the Dodgers might be entertaining trading Puig isn't as crazy as some people are suggesting. Everybody knows the Dodgers have extra outfielders. Last year the Dodgers juggled Kemp/Puig/Crawford/Ethier. They also had Scott Van Slyke contributing nicely. In the minors they have Joc Pederson seemingly ready. On top of that Alex Guerrero put up a .978 OPS in the minors last year. They clearly have an logjam in the outfield. Now, I'm sure they would much rather trade one of ...Read More...

Quote from Darrien:Bottom line is that if you come race in any of the GSKA clone classes you better be on top of your game. A $500 used chassis on old tires isn't going to get it done anymore. He's absolutely right. Do what we did since we couldn't afford to keep up with the newer equipment. We found another track and a new type class, one that Dr. Chip mentioned earlier in the forum .Trying dirt for the first time and back to having fun. Accusations take the fun out of our hobby and not good for the sport. Like Clarence said this is only Club Racing.
I'm sorry to see that you guys have decided to race elsewhere, it was always a pleasure to have you.
Club racing is something different to everyone. While it may not be National Level, it's not concession karts either. I know when I talk to the majority of the Jr 1 and Jr 2 parents, and the Sr Clone drivers, they are very happy with the direction of the clone classes, with maybe the exception of wanting a spec tire and WKA engine rules.
Perhaps I should clarify my statement about a $500 kart and old tires not getting it done. What I'm saying is that you can't expect to run in the top 5 with an old kart and old tires. You can still certainly come and have a good time racing, however. And there were several drivers who took an old chassis and kept good tires on them and ran towards the front of the pack. It just takes commitment.
I don't think myself or the club should apologize for transforming the clone classes into great foundational classes that are producing drivers that are competitive on a regional and national level - while still being very affordable.
The bottom line is that the clone engines are no longer a novelty. They have quickly became the preferred 4-cycle kart racing engine in North America, and mainly because of the affordability. At the end of the day it's still RACING and being competitive takes commitment, time, and money. Always has.. always will. With a clone it just takes a whole lot less money.

I am with Richie#89 this has been a very entertaining thread! I certainly hope Angus' season has been as well. But back to the point, the clone classes for the kids have been great. They have grown and the drivers have learned a lot and so have the crew chiefs. Steve, as our board member, has asked us for ideas for improvement so does anybody have any ideas?
I asked Hank what he thought and his response was "The start of our races suck!" I gave an idea and it may not be a positive solution but I think it is an area we need to work on. Several have tried to talk to the boys but the proof is on the track and the results.
My hat goes off to everyone who races and tries to give it all. I think the season ending standings truly reflect who worked the hardest, invested the most time, money, and patience in this endeavor. The question at hand is what can we do to make it better for us, keep us coming back to the track, and recruit new blood to whip up on.
Please give Steve some concrete ideas and suggestions.

Thanks for all your kind words ,
I do have a suggestion as to starts , I may be way out in left field , but, here goes.
Facts or my opinion ?
1- you can talk to your drivers until you are blue in the face, but, when the motors start and the grid man lets them on the track all they think is
2-A lot of racers are getting involved in 1st corner wrecks and their day is over
NOT GOOD FOR RACERS,PARENTS or THE CLUB
3-1st corner wrecks are going to happen no matter where you start the race
What I propose to do and based on the fact that we are not pressed for time at most races ( Night Race is questionable) is have a maximum of 2 more tries to start the race after the 1st start.
Start # 1 If ANY karts spin out , are wrecked ,or are pushed off the track in the first corner ( Starters disgretion) we throw the YELLOW / RED restart flag and have a complete restart
Start # 2 We line them up and try again , but, as in start # 1 If ANY karts spin out , are wrecked ,or are pushed off the track in the first corner ( Starters disgretion) we throw the YELLOW / RED restart flag and have a complete restart with modifications.
Start # 3
we line karts up single file and restart the race , at this point we have to let it go green unless a injury or dangerous situation occurs.
What we need to do is give the young racers MORE practice at starts. The kids are going to get frustrated at restarts,but, this is a club race and the object here is to have fun , let everyone race , and teach the racers new skills . The way it is now where if your wreck in the 1st corner and your day is over is not helping anyone or attracting new racers .
Let me know what you may think the pros and cons are if it is something we would like to try? Remember its is not written in stone so it can be refined all year long if need be.
p.s. On a personal note we have actually bennifited from 1st corner wrecks the last 3 races , because of trying different setups Case was not qualifiying very well ( 7, 8, 9 th) , but we were lucky and made it thru the 1st corner wreck to come out in the top 3 every time , it was good for us , but, at the expense of innocent drivers who got caught up in somebody elses mistake.

Another option is to put some rules in place. Rule is the following
1. Starts must be slow. This must be at the discreation of the Starter. I have seen many starts too fast.
2. If pace is too fast, it is waived off
3. If outside front row is ahead of the pole sitter, it is waived off
4. If after two attempts, the front row gets put to the second row and the second row becomes the front row.

I agree with slow starts, pole setting the pace, and invert after two failed attempts.
Do not agree with more than one chance at a start. More than one chance is only going to make them that much more aggressive the 1st two times. I also don't think it's fair to the kids that make good starts the 1st time to give everyone else 2 and 3 shots at them.
A thought is to have a video camera at turn one, review the starts at the end of each week and if you are the cause of turn 1 pileups you start at the back of the back the following race regardless of where you qualify. I guarantee a couple of rear-pack starts will tone down turn 1 aggression.

I am glad we are staying on topic now.
I am also glad we are addressing the issue Hank and I are raising.
I do not have the solution to the problem, but the suggestions of John W. and Darrin, are not actually solving the problem. We know that some etiquette is supposed to be understood as to how a race starts, however there is no consequence as described for crossing that line.
A philosophical question is "who says the pole sitter or the front row have anything to say about the speed or pace of the start, what is the flagman's role?"
The process as We understand it and how We observe the results on the track, and the officials decisions; it pays to be the villain.
That is the issue I am trying to raise and solve.
I hope I am not beating the horse to death and we are raising a valid issue. If we are alone in this matter we will shut up.
We believe if some one messes up a start then that person should have a punishment. If you mess up the start you go to the back the first time. It doesn't matter if you are first or 5th you go to dead last.
2 years ago at the night race I told Hank to jump the start from the outside pole. he did and it won him the race. and if he was caught then they would have just gone around again for another try.
The point is we know the game and the risks for manipulating the start.
So does every one else. There appears to be very little risk so winning the pole does not mean much.
What say you?

Pole Position is always a plus. I believe we all realize that some improvements could possibly be made yet we also know how difficult it will be to get the kids to race nice. There are those who are in scrapes quite often and then there are drivers that respect each other and the sport. I would suggest a standing start with increased stagger close to turn 1 as an option. That being said I believe that the way we do it now is the method with the least flaws.

On the subject of starts let's just remember we are not on our own little island. There are many of our kids that use the local series as practice for other series and tracks. I think any start procedure that varies drastically from the way everyone else does it is counterproductive. The #1 issue we need to address is the speed at which they come to the green flag.

It is also a time for the president to lay out his vision for the nation. The tone has been set by past presidents with phrases and lines that immediately resonate, uplift and inspire. Among the most memorable were Kennedy's "ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country," Reagan's "The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price," Roosevelt's "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," and even Clinton's "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."
Among the maybe lesser known today, but still inspiring words, can be added those of Jefferson ("Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.") and Washington ("The foundations of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality, and the preeminence of free government be exemplified by all the attributes which can win the affections of its citizens, and command the respect of the world."). But maybe more appropriate than any, after the hyper-partisanship of recent elections, might be those of Abraham Lincoln, who said "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."
Sadly, Obama's second inaugural did none of the above. Given on the same day we celebrated the birth of Martin Luther King Jr., that iconic preacher and civil rights advocate who shared with all of America his dream that we would see the day when the color of a man's skin was less important than the content of his character, Obama instead used his stage to insult and further demonize those opposing his big government, socially liberal agenda. While tossing out a few rhetorical "shout-outs" to the principles and vision of America's greatest presidents, the substance of Obama's speech might as well have been a campaign speech to college students in Madison, Wisc., or labor union leaders in Ohio. It was a full speech dedicated to the sentiment uttered by Obama shortly after taking office in 2009, when he told Republicans, "I won," and that they could ride on the bus, but would have to "sit in the back."
Winning a major Electoral College victory by maximizing turnout in key states while getting just a sliver over half of the popular vote, from Obama we got a speech from a man who apparently thinks he won an overwhelming mandate for his statist agenda, rather than realizing his election (receiving 10 million fewer votes than four years ago) was simply the result of benefitting from an increasingly demoralized and apathetic electorate willing to re-elect the devil they know, rather than take a chance on the devil they don't.
And so it was that Obama laid out this grand statist, uber-liberal vision for his second term, calling for, among other things, "progress" on controversial issues such as immigration, homosexual marriage, climate change (formerly known as global warming, and a few scant decades before that, global cooling), equal pay for women, a shrinking of America's leadership role in geopolitical affairs, and, of course, a rigorous defense of America's massive and continually expanding entitlement state programs. Tellingly, he made almost no mention of jobs and the economy. I wonder why …
At times, Obama's words were downright Orwellian when contrasted with his actual first term record. For example, he lectured his fellow Americans that "We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit." Grand and lofty goals, worthy of our support, no? Yet it is his signature achievement, ObamaCare, which forced on us a government bureaucracy-driven, labyrinthine health care leviathan which has actually increased the rate at which health insurance premiums have risen, and has tripled in cost in less than four years, while reducing access to doctors. Even more frightening is the fact that the most expensive provisions have not kicked in yet. And Obama accrued more debt in four years than Bush did in eight, and more than every previous president COMBINED!
He went on to say that "The commitments we make to each other, through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great." However, if he was being truthful, he'd point out that the three major entitlement programs are already at or near bankruptcy, with a shrinking number of workers paying for the benefits of a growing number of beneficiaries, and that such a trajectory will inevitably lead to economic collapse. If he were being truthful, he would also acknowledge that these "commitments" do indeed sap our initiative, as they free some from the risk and cost of these obligations, not by eliminating that risk or obligation, but by transferring them to others to pay.
He laughably claimed that "an economic recovery has begun." I suppose that will be great news to those tens of millions of Americans who remain unemployed or underemployed after four years of his "leadership," and even more who are on food stamps, and all of those who somehow missed out on the stimulus, "Recovery Summer," "Recovery Summer 2," etc., which has left us for four years in a state of anemic and stagnant growth, with more and more Americans dependent on government for their basic subsistence.
He also said, "Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play … we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character."
Ensure competition and fair play? Like the hundreds of billions in taxpayer bailouts to massive corporations (Goldman Sachs and Solyndra ring a bell?) which funnel money to politicians, while small businesses and community banks get screwed over? Skepticism of central authority? His entire presidency has been dedicated to expansion of government scope and power! Hard work and personal responsibility? Is that why he made sure that 26-year-old "children" could stay on their parents' health insurance plans?
Sadly, as gifted an orator as Obama is, his may well go down in history as the "Twinkie presidency"; one where the American people were fed delicious promises, only to find them completely devoid of substance and nutrition. So what is Obama's vision for his second term? Sadly, just more of his first term … massive new debt, sustained unemployment, anemic economic growth, expansion of the nanny government, and a heavy dose of more class and race warfare. Lucky us …

At the end of the 3-day mtb stage race Alexandre Moos of BMC Mountainbike Racing Team got home in fifth position overall. Race tactics determined the last stage that catapulted Robert Mennen (Topeak-Ergon) to an overall victory ahead of Hannes Genze (Multivan Merida) and Karl Platt (Bulls).
When two people quarrel, a third rejoices
That was the mantra of the last day at the Trans Zollernalb 2011. Up to this point, the race for the overall win was going to be a battle between three riders: yellow jersey Karl Platt (Bulls), Alban Lakata (Topeak-Ergon), and Alexandre Moos (BMC) raced for bonus seconds in intermediate sprints that were to decide between winners and loser on the fast course. However, in the end it all came different when Robert Mennen (Topeak-Ergon) and Hannes Genze (Multivan Merida) attacked at the beginning of the final stage. The attack left behind two powerful teams looking at each other while the breakaway gained minute after minute. None felt responsible to have domestiques go to the front and close the gap to the leaders. At the end of the day the yellow jersey (Karl Platt of Team Bulls) dropped back from 1st to third in the general classification, while Alexandre Moos (BMC Mountainbike Racing Team) fell off the podium from 3rd to fifth. Winners of the day were Robert Mennen and Hannes Genze who moved to 1st and 2nd, respectively, upon their courageous breakaway on the last day.
Final stage: Moos sixth
His disappoint at the finish in Hechingen was apparent. Alexandre Moos was not happy with how the stage unfolded. He finished in sixth place. Hs teammate Yves Corminboeuf had a better day, finishing as respectable 22nd. The general classification of the 2011 Trans Zollernalb listed BMC riders as follows:
5th Alexandre Moos (+4:49 min.)
17th Balz Weber (22:33 min.)
18th Julien Tamararcaz (+22:34 min.)
25th Yves Corminboeuf (+35:19 min.)
There are two races left in the 2011 season before it is time for a well deserved winter break. The season is coming to an end October 5th-9th at the Roc d'Azur mtb festival in the south of France.

The BMC Racing Team wrapped up a solid week of racing Sunday at the Tour of Oman by again placing a rider in a breakaway before securing Klaas Lodewyck's "most aggressive" rider jersey.
Good Classics Preparation
Lodewyck first pulled on the red, green and white jersey after Stage 2 after joining teammate Martin Kohler in a four-man breakaway. After losing it the next day, he earned it back by being part of a two-man move on Stage 4. "I had a safe ride today; my legs felt OK," Lodewyck said. "This (winning the jersey) shows I worked well this winter and have good condition. I'm looking forward to my next race (Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne)." Michael Schär, whose 16th place overall led the BMC Racing Team, was part of a short-lived four man breakaway through the first 40 kilometers before Marcel Kittel (Project 1t4i) took the stage win. Peter Velits (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) held onto a one-second lead over Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) to win the race overall. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Michael Sayers commended the team for integrating into breakaways five of the six stages. "We made an impact all week," he said. "It was a good for everybody who was here, especially the guys doing the classics. They just need some recovery and then they'll be good."

The BMC Racing Team will be one of 16 teams in the field of this year's Amgen Tour of California when the most prestigious stage race in the United States begins next month.
An Important Race
President Jim Ochowicz said the BMC Racing Team – which is headquartered in one of the race's finish cities (Santa Rosa) – is excited to have the race on its calendar that already includes the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. "Competing in America's biggest and best bike race is important for the team," Ochowicz said. "It allows us to compete with the best teams in the world on American soil." The eight-day, 800-mile race runs May 16-23.
Good Preparation For Tour de France
BMC Racing Team Director Sportif John Lelangue said the race's change in dates (from February to May) has done nothing to diminish the quality of the field. It also affords the event the opportunity to offer the first mountaintop finish in its five-year history. "The fact that the race is becoming more difficult makes it more interesting to us," Lelangue said. "It's maybe not a ProTour race this year, but it remains one of the only stage races on the UCI America calendar. It's also a good last step in the preparation for some of the guys going to the Tour de France in July."
Fielding A Strong Team
Lelangue said the BMC Racing Team will field a strong line-up that will include U.S. national road champion and past Tour of California stage winner/yellow jersey wearer George Hincapie, as well as Tour de France stage winners Marcus Burghardt and Karsten Kroon. The remainder of the team's eight-rider roster will be announced later. The BMC Racing Team's past success at the race includes Scott Nydam's victory in the King of the Mountains classification in 2008.
Showcasing The BMC Brand
Mike Hürlimann, Chief Executive Officer of BMC, was pleased that the BMC Racing Team will be able to showcase the company's bicycles in such a high-profile event. "It is not only a great opportunity for our U.S. riders around George Hincapie to present themselves to the U.S. cycling fans, but also a fantastic showcase for us promote our brand and products on the highest possible level," he said. "The U.S. market is a key growth market for BMC, where we have just recently established our own organization to serve our customers."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 7, 2012)—Ten players remain active in the $2,500 winner-take-all Show Me The Money contest at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The free challenge, which began November 8 with 2,409 players, requires a participant to choose one horse each racing day – in six designated races – at least 10 minutes prior to the first race. The selected horse must finish first, second or third for a player to continue.
The last player standing receives the cash prize. Should more than one contestant still be alive at the conclusion of racing December 16 – closing day of the Autumn meet – the winner will be decided by a tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker is number of wins.
Five Californians – Jim Clarke of La Verne, Craig Mahl of Anaheim, Gil Nishina of Los Angeles, Robert Patsky of Cherry Valley and Milton Watanabe of Torrance – are among the survivors through 18 days.
The others still playing are Wayne Benafield of Henderson, Nevada, Edward Kramer (West Palm Beach, Florida), Anthony Lee (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), Dan Stepien (Ballston Spa, New York) and Alcira Talley (Newark, Delaware).
Benafield, Kramer, Lee, Nishina and Talley chose third race winner Bluegrass Reward Friday. The selection for Clarke, Patsky, Stepien and Watanabe was Miss Well Molded, who won the sixth. Mahl's choice was Mr. Make Believe, who captured the eighth.
