After Cyclist Shatters Jaw In Brooklyn Race, Organizer Promises Safety Improvements: Gothamist

After Cyclist Shatters Jaw In Brooklyn Race, Organizer Promises Safety Improvements: Gothamist.

David Trimble, the Red Hook Crit‘s founder, told us before a race in March that “bike racing is dangerous,” but the accidents aren’t “too gruesome. That being said, there will definitely be some skin lost.” Hartman’s crash was by far the most serious injury sustained at one of Trimble’s races, which have expanded to other cities around the world but are not sanctioned by cycling’s governing body, USA Cycling, which provides medical insurance at sanctioned events.

Steve Johnson, the CEO of USA Cycling, says unsanctioned races often have insufficient insurance, leaving cyclists who get injured left to pay for their own medical bills. “Independent races are a lot of fun until somebody gets hurt, and when that happens you have to start asking about who is responsible for making it a safer environment,” Johnson tells the Wall Street Journal.

Hartman, who lives with his Guyanese immigrants parents, spent eight weeks in the hospital. An online fundraiser has so far raised about $40,000 toward covering his medical bills, and Trimble reportedly donated $1,200 to the family after the incident. But the severity of Hartman’s injuries has some wondering about the future of unsanctioned “alleycat” bike races, which have become more popular in recent years, attracting less experienced cyclists.

Effects of impasse hit disability filings – Buffalo – Business First

New claim records are not being prepared or worked on at this time, according to Buffalo attorney Jeffrey Freedman, who specializes in SSI cases. And the SSA isn’t scheduling new hearings or reviewing national decisions by administrative law judges before the Appeals Council.

“The effects of the shutdown will greatly impact our clients,” Freedman said. “This will create further delays in our clients’ applications, forcing them to wait for much-needed financial assistance.”

He said the SSA’s contingency plan will continue to make monthly payments for Medicare recipients. Additionally, SSA is still issuing checks to beneficiaries.

For many SSI and SSDI recipients, receiving a check can be the difference between survival and poverty and homelessness, he added.

“SSDI and SSI benefits are not easy to obtain, and the benefits are modest,” he said.

Protest – EU destroys 700,000 hectares of rainforest – Rainforest Rescue

The EU wants to save our climate with supposedly green agrofuels, and has certified palm oil as sustainable – despite the clear-cutting of rainforests for plantations. 1.9 million tons of palm oil end up in European fuel tanks annually. The EU Parliament will vote on the 11th of September. Join us in demanding an end to agrofuels!

Moscow police detain 1,200 Caucacusus migrant workers | News | DW.DE | 14.10.2013

Former Dictator Joseph Stalin was from the Caucusus – Ironic now that Moscow residents now think they are not white or caucasian!?! 

The site of Monday’s arrest had also been the site of a violent riot overnight. Thousands of people gathered to demand justice in the killing of a 25-year-old local man who was stabbed to death on Thursday night. Surveillance camera footage suggested that the murderer might have come from Central Asia or the Caucusus.

Ten buses of riot police were on the scene in Moscow’s southern Biryulyovo district on Sunday, where they arrested nearly 400 rioters who had disrupted the peaceful march.
The crowd, chanting “Russia for Russians,” “White Power!” and other racist slogans, beat down the doors of a nearby vegetable warehouse where many migrants work and where they thought the suspected killer was hiding.
