____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Brian Allen isn’t tired. He isn’t tired of “high school drama.” Allen is home-schooled.He isn’t physically tired like most high school students. Allen gets his eight to nine hours of sleep every night and is hardly ever sick.And he isn’t tired of playing the violin, even though Allen has been playing for more than 10 years. He was only 3 years old when he picked up his first violin. Allen’s father taught violin as a side job out of the family’s home.“I loved listening in on the lessons, and one day after a lesson, I asked my dad if I could play,” Allen said. “He had wanted to get me started at 5.”Allen began studying with a Suzuki-method teacher and then transferred to a more traditional-method teacher a couple of years later.“He was able to develop such a good technique,” Brian’s mother Jan Allen said. “At that point, we tried to make sure that we supported his interest.”At the age of 7, after moving to Bedford from Virginia, Allen began participating in the Jacobs School of Music’s Summer String Academy.“It was a great transition for him,” Jan Allen said. “We plugged him into the String Academy with Dr. Brenda Brenner, and in one lesson she fixed a problem with his posture that we had been struggling with for years.”After eighth grade, Allen and his parents made the decision that he would be home-schooled.“I think in his case the major benefit (of home schooling) is the added practice time and time for rest,” Jan Allen said. “He is able to get eight to nine hours of sleep every night and stays healthy most of the time.”In an average day, Allen practices three to four hours and travels to Bloomington for lessons in the afternoon.At 13, Brian was accepted into the Violin Virtuosi, the top performance group at the String Academy.And now, at the age of 16, Brian still isn’t tired. He recently won the Lions Clubs International Global Youth Music Competition. He was awarded a monetary prize of $10,000 and also traveled to Sydney for a week and a half to perform in the 2010 music competition. He helped represent the United States in the competition that included musicians from multiple global regions, and he won first prize.“The trip itself was wonderful, and it felt like a vacation,” Brian Allen said.Brian plans to continue playing the violin and incorporating music throughout the rest of his life. As a junior, he is getting ready to take the PSAT and is beginning to prepare for college.“My dream school is the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,” Brian said. “Only about 150 students go there, and they accept less than one percent of applicants.”Brenner believes Brian has what it takes to succeed in the musical field.“Brian is very bright and hard-working and has a huge enthusiasm for the violin,” Brenner said. “He is just beginning on his pathway in the world of music. I expect to hear wonderful news of him in the next several years.”

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A Little 500 cycling team’s budget only scratches the surface with the $100 registration fee. In fact, the elite teams often utilize — through sponsors, fundraising and out-of-pocket expenses — thousands of dollars of top-of-the-line equipment and apparel.Senior Gray Goat Cycling rider Matt Kiel discussed his team’s equipment and his own apparel for race day. GlassesCost: $100-$300Kiel’s gear: Oakley custom-made Jawbone, approximate value $250 (Oakley provides each rider with a custom pair.)A cheaper option: Oakley Flak Jacket ($150)“Glasses are important. Since it’s a cinder track, you get a lot of grit and stuff flying up from the track — you have to have something to protect your eyes,” Kiel said.GlovesCost: $15-$40 Kits (apparel)Cost: $80-$120Kiel’s gear: Custom-made outfit for the entire team (IUSF provides jerseys) ShoesCost: $75-$150Kiel’s gear: Taho Shoes from Specialized, approximate value $100A cheaper option: Your own running shoes“It’s not a road racing or mountain biking shoe,” Kiel said. “These are platform shoes so we want to get something that’s a little bit stiffer than your typical running shoe.”HelmetCost: $70-$175Kiel’s choice: Bell Volt Helmet, approximate value $175A cheaper option: Giro Monza helmet, $70“You just need a lightweight helmet that’s really well-ventilated,” Kiel said. “On a black cinder track, ventilation is really important. You also don’t want to carry along a lot of extra weight.”
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>With help from Black Key Bulls rider Jordan Bailey, the IDS defines some of the most important race day terms.Spring Series EventsFour events — Qualifications, Individual Team Trials, Miss ’N Out and Team Pursuit — test individual and team strength. They precede race day on weekends in April.Rookie Week Ten-day crash course in bike and track basics taught by the Riders Council for all riders who have never raced Little 500 beforeRookie Hours Rookies must attend track times for at least 75 percent of their availability until the Wednesday before the race.Fifth Rider A rider who has trained with the team but does make the final four card for the race“Mount your Schwinn Bicycles” The historic words that mark the start of every Little 500. Often given by a dignitary of the race, the phrase is likened to the Indianapolis 500 command of “Gentleman, start your engines.”Pole Position The team that qualifies first for the race. This team is given the green jersey to wear on race day. The reason that they call it “pole position” or “being on top of the pole” is again another Indy 500 term. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the front straightaway, there is gigantic pole that has numbers one through 33, then next to those are digital numbers with the corresponding car numbers. To start the race, the numbers are set accordingly to how teams qualified for the race, but then once the race starts, the numbers change based on the current leaders for a given lap.Draft The rider who sets the pace out front does approximately 33 percent more work than the rider behind him because he is cutting the wind. Therefore, every rider behind the leader is doing significantly less work than the leader, so long as they are a half an inch to six inches behind the rear wheel, or in the “draft” of the person in front of him. This is why during the course of the race, the front five or six teams in the pack will exchange pulls every half lap to full lap.The Peloton Also known as the pack, field or bunch is the large main group of riders during the race. Riders who are in the peloton have an easier time riding because they are within the draft of the riders in front of them.Getting a Gap When a rider wants to come in for an exchange, he will usually try to get a gap on the field. In other words, the rider will try to put distance between himself and the lead rider in the peloton. Teams will do this because usually an exchange will lose a team anywhere from a half to a full straightaway of distance compared to those teams behind them. So ideally, when a rider gets a gap on the field, completes the exchange, the next rider on the bike is up to speed and will either be at the front of the pack or just behind it.Borg-Warner Trophy A replica trophy of the actual Indy 500 trophy that is presented to the winners of each Little 500. While the winners do not get to keep the Borg-Warner Trophy, their team name as well as their winning race time is engraved on the trophy, along with all of the other teams that have won the race.Fly Lap Is a term used in qualifications for the lap prior to the start of a team’s run. The first rider during qualifications is given a fly lap in order to get up to speed.Face LapLeisure rides around campus, especially down Kirkwood Avenue, the goal of which are not to train but to boost a team’s confidence and public image.— Stephanie Kuzydym
