That Land Is A Bad Area Of Wenatchee. Lots Of Loud Rumbles From The Trains, Lots Of
Homeless People And Lots Of Trash. All And All, A Green Grass Park With A Few Flowers
And Shrubs Would Be Of The Best Thing For That Land To Be Turned Into A Park. Also

* Once And Future Wallingford Skate Park.
Seattle, Washington USA -- 10/01/2013

dreamers who see providing healthy indoor activities for youth in a city notorious for its
nine month rain jags as a noble calling.

and women who have died while in the military service. - Please take a time out

A Technology News Brief Update For May 22nd, 2013:

YouTube One Channel launching across all channels next month. On June 05th, 2013
YouTube.com will be forcing all its users on to the new YouTube One Channel Layout:
Like it or not, most users don`t like it as it loads way slow and hard to find video contents.

In Other News: - A lot of BMX track web sites are seen going 404ed-Closed as lots
of BMX track web sites are defaulting to a sub-site page on the ABA-USA BMX site.
A nice idea, but a bad one at the same time as lots of web sites out side of the BMX
community are un-listing most web site domain names that default to other web sites
and pages and lots of ISP`s are blocking domain names that default to other web sites
and pages as away to help battle spam on the web. -- So, by defaulting a BMX track
web site domain name it can make for less exposure of a BMX track on the web.

In Other News: - Yahoo! buys Tumblr on Monday, it`s a $1.1 billion deal for the blogging
site. Yahoo! promises to not 'screw it up'. LOL Also on Monday May 20th, 2013 Yahoo!`s
Flicker photo sharing site launched a new site layout that loads way slow, but the up side
of it is, the Flicker photo sharing site now offers its users 1 Terabyte of Free host space
for photos. - Most users like the space but slow load time with the new site layout makes
it hard to surf the photos.

* I Always Come Out And Wear Myself Out To The Point Of No More.
Eugene, Oregon USA -- 02/23/2013
Slam! The air-powered steel gate drops and five racers fly down the first straight, over the
first jump and into the high-banked dirt hairpin corner. At the corner exit, the pack breaks
up as the frontrunner dashes ahead. With only 600 feet of track left its a tight battle for first
place. The competition is tough in the 39 second sprint to the finish line. The group of BMX
racers in brightly colored jerseys that just flew past range from three to six years old.

Gene`s BMX Comments: - Re: Proposed Bicycle Tax: Wenatchee, Washington USA
The main issues in the proposed tax; A new $25 sales fee on bicycles sold for $500 or more,
which is expected to bring in $1 million over the next ten years. - It is unlikely to pass, but if
it does the effect may be of a slim in Wenatchee as most bicycle sales are under the $500 mark.
The most of bicycle sales in Wenatchee are made in mass market stores like Wal-Mart, Target
and them bicycles sold are of low to mid level in price. Yes, there are a few bicycle shops like
Full Circle, Arlberg this may hit hard as they do high end bicycle sales. If all else, If it is passed,
people can shop in Oregon, no sales tax or online to buy a high end bicycle that is over $500.00..
For the bicycle shops like Full Circle, Arlberg in Wenatchee, and others in and around the state,
this could create a new way in doing high end bicycle sales. Instead of a $800 full bicycle, sale
the bicycle incomplete for $475.00, with no seat, tires, chain, extra. Then people can buy the rest
of the bicycle for $325.00, then offer to assemble the bicycle as a courtesy. Sales of incomplete
bicycles could work? But better yet, - just say no to this new proposed bicycle tax thing. -- Geneb.

*** UCI Cycling Seeks New Events At 2016 Rio Olympics ***
Aigle, Switzerland (AP) - February 02nd, 2013
The International Cycling Union wants the IOC to add six
medal events to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics program,
including the restoration of track points races.

The UCI's proposal comes amid calls to scrap cycling's
Olympics status after the Lance Armstrong case and criticism
of the governing body's management of anti-doping measures.

The UCI says its management board supports restoring the
individual points event, plus introducing BMX freestyle and
mountain bike eliminator events. All three would have men's
and women's races.

Cycling awarded 18 gold medals at last year's London
Games, including 10 track, four road, and two each in
BMX and mountain bike.The mass-start points race was
incorporated into the new omnium event after the 2008
Beijing Olympics. Mountain bike eliminator sees racers
compete in four-rider heats over a sprint course.
