Local riders to watch Nearly 20 local riders are set to compete in the Nevada City Classic, which has not had an area resident win the even in its 45 year history, this Sunday with quite a few expecting to race for top 10 finishes. Alders is one of those racers in good position. Her goal this season is to post a top five finish and she hopes to make that dream a reality on her home race course. Moeschler and Jonathan Baker are the only other riders racing in the professional race. Moeschler reports that he has taken a more laid back approach to training this year and contemplated skipping this year, but said it wouldn’t be right since it is his home race. The past two years Moeschler has finished in 18th place each year. Sierra Express Racing Team President Craig Lindberg, a fast sprinter, looks to be the potential top finisher among his SERT racing team members competing in the Masters races.

Ditto for San Francisco and Portland. Despite the good intentions, opening wide the gates to high-speed Internet connections at little or no cost to users is drawing complaints from business owners and telecommunication companies who do charge for their service. But these are still the cowboy days of wireless fidelity with few rules and regulations, giving volunteer groups like Portland’s Personal Telco and Seattle Wireless ample opportunity to continue building their home-grown empires. “We’re not just building hot spots, we’re building a network across Portland,” says Mr. “If the Internet ever fell away, this network would still be up. Becoming your own ‘hot spot’With help from Personal Telco, community members and businesses can become wireless hot spots, or a “node,” for a typical fee of $50 to $100 a month.

According to a study conducted by the association, the average age of tenants has dropped from 56 to 46 in the last six years. The “Schrebergarten” (allotment) phenomenon, born a century ago, was named after the Leipzig-based doctor Daniel Schreber — a staunch believer in exercise in the great outdoors for pasty-faced city children. Plots of land leased from the state became increasingly popular with tenants seeking gardens for their young, plus an opportunity to stock up their pantries with home-grown garden produce. Meet the weekend warriors Today, pedestrians on the busy Bornholmer Bridge, which earned its place in history as the first border-crossing to be opened to East Germans back in 1989, can look down on the “garden colony” where Dirk and his family now spend most of their free time. Flanked by railway lines and shopping malls, it’s a haven of tranquillity in an otherwise bleak urban landscape.

Look at the street corners where you see young people craving a useful and interesting learning opportunity. California’s education industry needs to provide meaningful, beneficial, nuts-and-bolts vocational education for high-school students, so they have a future of success and not failure. As the aging Baby Boomers leave the workforce, we need home-grown talent that is able to build and maintain our increasingly complex technology and deteriorating infrastructure.
