Dressed in black and wearing orange armbands, 50 or more bicyclists crowded a traffic median on Snelling Ave. in St. Paul Saturday morning just a few blocks into a 14-mile memorial ride to honor four cyclists killed in collisions with motor vehicles last month. The group set off from Snelling and Summit avenues — near the site where the latest fatality took place a week ago — headed for Gold Medal Park in downtown Minneapolis. There, riders were set to meet another group riding 14 miles from Blaine, the site of a fatal Sept. 22 bike-motor vehicle crash. The memorial ride was announced after a Sept. 28 “ghost bike” ceremony was cancelled because a ghost bike — painted white and decorated in memory of fallen bicyclist Virginia Heuer — had already been set up near the site where Virginia Heuer died after an SUV hit her bike the day before.

MOVIES | Security, snacks, security, swag, and security: What it's like to be a journalist covering the Academy Awards

By Barb Teed, TC Daily Planet

When I applied for Academy Awards press credentials last November I thought that pretty much any media representative could gain access. Wrong. I had to fill out two applications. Arts editor Jay Gabler needed to verify my assignment to cover the Oscars for the Daily Planet. From a pool of about 5,000 individual applicants for press credentials, only about 300 were approved. The approval of my credentials made me part of an exclusive group frequently referred to by Academy representatives as "the legitimate press." (As opposed to what, I often wondered.)MORE »
