Over the past couple of months, college football talk has mostly been about realignment. However, it has so many updates that it is difficult to post something timely. Therefore, this post is only going take the macro approach, and discuss it in a general sense. We all know that the primary reason for college realignment is about money; trying to chase after more dollars. This post is not about that either. The secondary reason, for most teams, is about getting a stronger strength of schedule, so they can be ranked higher in the polls, and have a better chance of competing for national championships. This is about steps teams can take to improve their strength of schedule.
Step 1: Win as many games as possible
I know many of you reading this might say "Duh!" Having an undefeated season is no guarantee that you will play for the national championship in college football. Just ask Boise State. Teams need other ways to have a stronger schedule.
Step 2: Have all your opponents win as many games as possible
The teams that you play against needs to wins as many games as possible; except when the play against you (see step 1). What is the ultimate undefeated season? If your team go 12- 0 and every team that you play against end their season at 11-1. The only game that all your opponents lost was to you. A season like that is highly unrealistic. It is impossible if your team play within a conference. Teams within a conference play one another throughout the season. Conference teams needs to move to step 3.
Step 3: Have all conference opponents win all their non-conference games
If your team completes step 1 and all the teams within your conference win all their non-conference games, then your team is an undefeated team within the toughest conference in the country. This is the best a team within a conference can do.
Bottom line: Quality over quantity
To have a strong schedule you need to play quality opponents. Adding more teams to your conference does not guarantee a stronger conference. The odds are greater, that a mega conference will create a watered down conference. If your team is within a watered down conference, then your team will play a watered down conference schedule. That will be the exact opposite of what your team set out accomplish.

Love 40: Winston Salem Open worth trip
By Matt Hill
The closest thing to a local ATP Tennis Tournament is back for its second year over the mountain in Western North Carolina.
The Winston-Salem Open returns Aug. 18-25 at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex adjacent to BB&T Field.
The tournament has to be one of the best to attend. I know from experience.
Last year I went with my friend Brian Helm from Mountain City and we truly had a great time.
Though most likely players like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will not be playing, you do have the opportunity to see John Isner and Andy Roddick.
Last year we were able to watch Isner play in the afternoon session and it was amazing to see him hit that serve.
Now, Isner is ranked in the top 10 in the world, and is the defending champion of his home tournament.
I don't know how it will be this year, but last year there was a lot of fan access to the players, more than I ever dreamed of. In addition to meeting Isner, we were also able to meet Andy Murray's brother, Jamie Murray.
I was also able to have a conversation with the official who threw out Serena Williams in the 2009 U.S. Open.
The stadium is very intimate and there's not a bad seat in the house. You can go online to buy tickets at www.winstonsalemopen. com/tickets or by phone at 336- 758-6409
The night sessions usually sold out last year and ESPN covers the tournament from the quarterfinals on as part of the U.S. Open Series Package. CBS will have the final.
There are food vendors at the event, but they are very expensive. Your best bet is to either get stamped out and leave for lunch or pack a lunch like we did and eat outside the stadium. Also, keep in mind it is warmer in that part of North Carolina in August than it is here, so dress appropriately. It can get extremely hot, though it wasn't too bad when we went.
If you're wanting to see the top four players in the world, this is not the tournament for you. However, if you want to go to a tournament where the players totally appreciate the fans, the Winston-Salem Open is one of the best tennis experiences you could have.
"With the return of warm weather, people have tennis on their minds. Fans already have been calling our office to inquire about ticket availability," Winston- Salem Open director Bill Oakes said on the Winston-Salem Open website. "With John Isner and Andy Roddick already signed on to compete — and more to come — there will no doubt be strong demand for seats."
Summer is just around the corner, and that means the Bristol Racquet Club is set to begin tournaments.
Starting Monday, May 28 running through June 1, the Friendship Ford Open takes place and then the Food Country Open will happen a few weeks later.
Among the locals committed to the Friendship as of press time included Johnson County No. 1 seed girl Holly Adams. More locals are expected to play.
To get into the tournaments, you don't have to be a standout player in order to play, as there are several different level groups.
"You can play according to level," Bristol Racquet and Fitness Club U.S.T.A. Pro Todd Smith said. "You don't have to worry about getting in over your head."
The Racquet Club is located a couple of miles past Bristol Motor Speedway just off the Volunteer Parkway.
For more information call (423) 764-8444.
Danielle Vines continues to make Elizabethton proud.
The Elizabethton resident and native recently competed in two major tournaments.
The biggest one was the Girls 14's USTA National Open and after a three-set loss to MacKenzy Middlebrooks, Vines breezed through three consolation matches. Vines also reached the finals in doubles.
Vines competed two weeks earlier in the USTA Southern Section about her age level in the 16s, where she won it.
Vines showed what a competitor she is when she won 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) over Gabrielle Gerlach.
Vines had to battle, but she showed just how good endurance by pulling it off.
Vines was even more impressive in the championship match, winning over Maggie Kane 6-1, 6-0.
Good luck to Danielle the rest of the summer as she puts Elizabethton on the national tennis map.
This is the first year I have been able to watch the lead in tournaments to the French Open and I was thinking last week, why is a big event like the Italian Open being finished just seven days before a grand slam?
The question is even more magnified on the women's side, as Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka both pulled out because of injury. I think it's more than that, I think they want to be rested for the French Open.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the top players have to play each other more often than 20 some years ago, but do we really need to be having a major event right before a grand slam?
There were actually two Masters events back-to-back with Madrid and Rome being together. This week there are some minor tournaments and then the French Open.
Madrid and Rome are almost like majors. I think the answer is to make Madrid a non-mandatory event and move it to the spot where Rome is.
After the French Open, you have a quick turnaround to Wimbledon, then you have to start preparing for the U.S. Open.
There's a catch this year as it is an Olympic year. After a similar situation of two Masters events right before the U.S. Open then it's the Open and then after the Open there are two more Masters events and the year end championships.
I was talking on twitter to former top five player, former coach of career grand slam winner and one of the game's all-time greats in Andre Agassi and ESPN tennis broadcaster Brad Gilbert, and I asked him about Serena dropping out of Rome and if it was more to do with saving herself for the French Open than her back issue and he thought she was playing it safe for sure.
You may think tennis players don't have a hard job, but it is a grind. It's similar to sportswriting when I was doing it full-time, you need breaks and you can't keep doing stuff without a rest.
Don't get me wrong, the Italian Open is an outstanding tournament and could even lay claim to being the fifth major, but it doesn't need to finish right before the French Open.
There's got to be a way to fix this. The ATP and WTA need to find a way to do it.

Aurora Christian is on a roll, and a lot of its success comes from having everyone on the floor healthy.
The Eagles followed up a 39-point victory against St. Edward with an 84-41 rout of visiting Wilmington Tuesday night. It was the sixth victory in eight games for the Eagles, who improved to 15-12 on the season.
"We're rolling downhill a bit now, trying to get ready for the playoffs," Aurora Christian coach Pat McNamara said.
Eight players scored at least six points for the balanced ACS squad. The leading scorer was Wes Wolfe, who came off the bench to drop in 18 points.
The nonconference tilt looked to be an even matchup through the first 12 minutes, with Dan O'Leary keeping the Wildcats close with seven early points.
But when Wolfe hit the second of his four three-pointers with 3:24 left in the first half, Aurora Christian's defense sparked its offense to a 15-3 run that closed out the first half with the Eagles up 35-22.
Wolfe got things going with a steal. He pushed the ball down the court and found Cory Windle open for a dunk. Moments later, Windle returned the favor by creating a fastbreak after a theft and assisting on Wolfe's layup.
During the surge, Paxton Singer scored on a beautiful feed from Zach Singer. And Wolfe, who had 12 of his points by the intermission, scored after another Wilmington turnover.
The Eagles' resurgence has had a lot to to with their shooting. They hit 15 of 26 shots in the first half and improved to 10-for-15 in the third quarter before the starters exited the game.
"We've got shooters — Aurora Christian's had good shooters as long as I've been around," McNamara said. "With our guys, we have to tone them down sometimes, get them to be patient and take a good shot."
Aurora Christian drained 11 shots from behind the arc. In the first three quarters, Wolfe led a barrage of 10-of-15 shooting from long range. Ryan McQuade, who recently returned from a knee injury, made 3 of 5 from beyond the arc and finished with 11 points.
"When you've got five starters who can shoot, it makes it tough to defend," McNamara said. "We've been moving the ball and playing very unselfishly lately and hustling. It's good to have Ryan back in the lineup. You get a lot of leadership with him, and he's always in the right spot at the right time."
Wolfe and Zach Singer hit three-pointers at the end of the third quarter to widen the lead to 59-37 after three quarters. From that point, the reserves got a lot of action and Haydn McNelis and Grant Schweisthal played particularly well.
As for Windle, he hit a three-pointer and had three other field goals for nine points. All of his two-pointers were dunks, including the conversion of a perfect lob pass from Ryan Suttle.
The highlight for Wilmington came early in the third quarter when O'Leary (13 points) became the first Wildcat in over 20 years to reach 1,000 points.

William Shakespeare – Sonnet 82Follow
I grant thou wert not married to my Muse,
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook
The dedicated words which writers use
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.
Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue,
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;
And therefore art enforced to seek anew
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.
And do so, love; yet when they have devised,
What strained touches rhetoric can lend,
Thou truly fair, wert truly sympathized
In true plain words, by thy true-telling friend;
And their gross painting might be better used
Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abused.

Razor 2011 - August 17 2010
- I Just returned from 5 incredible days at Nitinat. seeing and riding the next model year gear is always a thrill. Thank you John Z for your help - Next time I won't consume so much Monster drink before riding. I was a bit wired.
I had a chance to ride a 10 M Razor and 10 Meter Rise back to back, which is the only way to really appreciate all the nuances of a kites performance characteristics. ( Note: I have hundreds of hours ride time on the 2009 & 2010 Rise, so the differences were clear, but only my opinion of coarse ).
I feel that the design characteristics of the Razor will fill a void in the OR lineup, for riders wanting a different feel then what the Rise offers.
In short the Razor has a constant pull, which is especially noticeable through and while turning the kite. This made surfing even the small waves at the mouth of the Nitinat a joy, since there was always power there to pull you through when you wanted it, even on straight downwind hard carves.
The turning speed was faster then the Rise, but not crazy faster. I estimated it to turn like a kite 2 meters smaller.
Example - I could easily be happy to ride the 10 Razor with the small Rise bar, which was my test setup. but with my Rise the 10 M gets ridden with the bigger bar.
Bar pressure is higher , but again not significant, just enough to add feel for when it's important to know where the kite is.
It seemed to me that with my riding style I would ride one size smaller a Razor then the Rise and this is likely due to the Reduced range I believe you have with more of a C shaped kite like the Razor.
Jumping was lofty and great, & does require a difference in timing, as would be expected, but the learning curve is instant.
The new lines are super stiff and rated at 650 lbs. I really liked them - they look like the same lines that North uses. They have the respective colors interlaced within the white. The stiff lines reduce tangles and make setting up easlier.
Kite construction, is the normal bomber type we've learned to love, with the Kevlar in all the right places.
During some jumping mistakes I found the kite to be very forgiving, for instance, during a jump that had me outrunning my kite downwind by 30 + ft , the Razor flew downwind with slack lines and did not Hindenburg at all. Impressive.
Graphics are also nice,
So in all a super kite, best suited to a different type of rider then the Rise rider schools will also likely prefer the easier flying and more bar feedback I think this is a nice compliment to the lineup of great O.R. products.

Destination Marketing Association International capped a year of change with a record-breaking attendance of 1,000 registrants at its annual meeting in San Diego this summer.
Formerly the International Association of Convention and Visitor Bureaus, DMAI officially adopted its new name and logo on August 2. The change reflects a clearer identity and focus for the 91-year-old association, said Michael Gehrisch, DMAI's president and CEO. "We need to be clear about our primary mission: destination marketing."
Keynote speaker Thomas J. Donahue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, called on CVB leaders to join the chamber in an effort to reform the aviation industry, which he said was on the brink of failure because of the high cost of fuel, antiquated labor and pension laws, and the refusal of the airlines to raise prices to cover their costs.

SolarWorld reports Q3 loss, confirms Hillsboro layoffs
By Suzanne Stevens
SolarWorld reported a 47 percent dip in third-quarter revenue Thursday and said it was laying off 30 mostly administrative workers in Hillsboro.
SolarWorld may have won a battle against Chinese solar panel manufacturers, but pricing pressure still hit the company's third-quarter performance and contributed to a decision to lay off 30 in Hillsboro.
SolarWorld AG, a German company whose U.S. subsidiary is in Hillsboro, reported Wednesday that while shipments were up by 13 percent, revenue dropped by 47 percent to $164 million. A contributing factor, according to the company, was cheap prices forced in part by lower-cost Chinese imports.
The company led a coalition that successfully lobbied for tariffs on Chinese imports, but a spokesman told the Oregonian Thursday that those tariffs have yet to take affect and that loopholes are still allowing less-costly imports.
The pricing pressure led SolarWorld to lay off about 30 mostly administrative workers in Hillsboro.
SolarWorld maintains a 97-acre campus in Hillsboro with an output of about 500 megawatts worth of photovoltaic production capacity.

FORTUNE -- In a time where your office mate's embarrassing New Year's photos or the details of your boss's lavish vacation are just a few Facebook clicks away, the lines between personal information and workplace knowledge are getting fuzzier everyday.
Despite a growing willingness to share private information with colleagues -- and the world -- one topic remains safely nestled in the taboo column: compensation.
Money talk has long been considered uncouth, but it's not just social norms that have kept such conversations in the dark. According to a 2011 report from the Institute for Women's Policy Research, almost half of all American workers are either expressly prohibited or strongly discouraged by their employers from discussing their pay with coworkers.
MORE: eBay's post-turnaround message: Come on back
Even when it's not against the rules, experts warn against bringing up the pay scale with people in your office. For one, says career coach Carin Rockind, "if management ever found out, it makes you look dissatisfied and could backfire."
Caroline Ceniza-Levine, a career expert and co-author of How the Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times, compares salary talk to dating in the workplace. "You can always find examples where it's a good idea," she says. "But for the most part, it ends badly. So you have to proceed with caution."
Rockind emphasizes that these conversations usually lead to disappointment and lower job satisfaction. "Should you find out someone is making more money than you, it will immediately make you feel worse about your job and worse about your manager," she says.
A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research published in September, 2010 reached the same conclusion. The researchers gave a random set of University of California employees access to a website that listed University workers' salary information. While workers who discovered that they made less than average ultimately reported lower job satisfaction, there was no reciprocal increase in reported satisfaction among those who found out that their earnings were above average.
Pamela Teagarden, founder of the Soluna Institute and an expert in corporate behavioral psychology, says that salary comparison conversations often arise because most workplaces operate in what is known as a "Prisoner's Dilemma." "Rather than cooperating, [colleagues are] forced to compare and compete because everyone is trying for the next promotion, for the win." Comparing salaries only reinforces that dynamic, undermining a team's ability to work together toward a common goal, Teagarden argues. To avoid this problem, Teagarden recommends that companies focus on other, non-monetary, "extrinsic motivators," like encouraging friendship among coworkers and valuing employees' opinions.
MORE: Medical students confront a residency black hole
Rockind also emphasizes this non-monetary approach. "There's a belief in our society that money leads to happiness," Rockind says. "But it's actually the other way around: It's not that money leads to happiness, it's that happy people make more money."
Employers should also keep an eye on market rates to make sure they're not underpaying -- or overpaying -- their talent, says Ceniza-Levine.
Is it ever a good idea to bring up salary with your colleagues? This question may be even more important for women, whose weekly full-time median income in 2012 was 19.1% lower than their male counterparts, according to a March 2013 IWPR study on the gender wage gap.
There are more effective ways to boost your salary than by comparing paystubs with coworkers, Rockind says. She and Ceniza-Levine recommend looking at industry averages instead. Websites like Salary.com, Payscale.com, and Glassdoor.com let you peek at analogous compensation scales in your geographical region without having to awkwardly ask people you see everyday. You can also talk to people outside of your office to gather this kind of information. "When we want to uphold our reputation at the company, but we still want to find out if we're making a fair wage, this is a great time to use our networks," Rockind says. Consult with HR professionals and use informational interviews to find out about the going rate for your position.
Even while most experts advise against having these conversations with coworkers, Christine Shin, a career counselor at Barnard College, notes that "knowledge is power" and offers a few ways to bring the topic up without causing offense. Shin suggests asking about salary ranges within a given department instead of inquiring about specific numbers for individuals. "Saying 'salary range' makes people more comfortable than answering the question, 'What do you make?'"

26 of 192:
Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley of MTV's "Jersey Shore" is engaged to Roger Mathews. She revealed the news in an interview with In Touch magazine, which posted the story online on Sept. 26, 2012.
She told In Touch that he proposed to her after the two landed on the ground after taking a skydiving lesson.
Mathews gave her a white gold engagement ring that contains a more than 5-carat cushion cut diamond that is "surrounded by 2.5 carats of pink and white diamonds in a white-gold setting," according to In Touch. The price was not revealed, but such pieces would typically cost at least $60,000.
'Roger's not an average-looking guy, he's huge: his personality, his size [6'4"],' Farley told the magazine. 'So I always said, 'I want my ring like you - big! The bigger the better!'
(Pictured: JWoww and Roger Mathews appear in a photo posted on her Twitter page on July 23, 2012. / JWoww and Roger Mathews appear in a scene from the MTV 'Jersey Shore' spin-off 'Snooki and JWoww' in 2012.)

There has always been a lot of talk about how 2014 can be the begining of the compettitive window for the Chicago Cubs. By the begining of the 2014 season, the Front office will have had 3 offseaseasons and two regular seasons under their belt. I don't believe that anyone expects them to be magically competetive - especially considering the imminenent sell off- but that has always seemed to be the start of the start according to most, if that makes sense.
Now, if your reading the MB that probably means that your a little more grounded than this, and probably realize that the 2014 cubs are not going to be that great unless the trades they have this deadline are for near ready/young mlb players ala Delgado last year.
There are some big names available like Cano, but I'd imagine that if the Yankees don't re-up (I think its likely) the Cubs would only be in on a price/contract length that any team would take. Two free agents that have been talked about a good amount that I would like to see the cubs go after are Jacoby Ellsbury and Shin So Choo.
Jacoby Elsbury had a monster year in 2011, then missed much of 2012. His early season 2013 numbers aren't heroic, but they are quite good:
.294 AVG, .360 OBP, .406 SLG, .765 OPS, 32 steals, 7 triples through 72 games.
Next year will be his year 30 season, an age that is a little beyond what this FO seems to target (or at least want to). However, if Ellsbury can come on a 4 year contract, I'd like to see the Cubs go after him. Of course the notable connections include the FO's familiarity with Ellsbury and their fondness of his general style of play.
Shin So Choo has been having a fantastic year in which his stats read:
.271 AVG, .421 OBP, .461 SLG, .882 OPS, 11 HR and 8 SB through 75 games.
Next Year will be Choo's (So Choo's?) age 31 season, definitley beyond this FOs target years; however, he is a solid OBP outfielder, and all around good ball player.
There is a chance (albeit not a large one) that several of Soriano, Dejesus, Shierholtz and Hairston will all be gone, so there is an obvious need for some outfielders. Also, its not as though Bogusevic, Borbon, or Bjax are knocking down the door for a starting job. I wouldn't mind using Sweeny or whoever else is not traded this year to round out the outfield, but I digress.
Choo and Ellsbury are Epstein-esq players, are available this offseason, would make the team better in 2014, and would probably (hopefully) not fetch Mega-contracts. I don't believe that either of them on 4 year deals would block any of Soler or Almora, and may only slightly get in the way if someone like Ha, Sczuzer, or maybe even Lake develop into starters (very optomistic IMO) over the next 1-2 years. Also, on 4 year deals spanning years where Soriano's contract and Marmol's contract come off the book, Choo and Ellsbury will not drag down the payroll.
It seems that in consecutive offseasons this FO has gone after increasingly expensive and talented players. Dejesus, Maholm, etc.. (offseason 1) Shierholtz (ehh.. maybe that just worked out), Edwin Jackson, Annibal Sanchez, etc... (offseason 2) Therefore, its reasonable to assume that with more money coming off the books, a positional need, a relatively good fit and just the tiniest bit more pressure that a 3rd season brings may lead the cubs to pursue these two, and I am on board.

Video: Jim Cramer rips into Citi's hot-cold Apple analysisDecember 19, 2012: 6:52 AM ET
The pot may be calling the kettle black, but in this case it's richly deserved
FORTUNE -- I'd been wondering what to say about Citigroup's (C) coverage of Apple (AAPL), which took a sharp turn for the worse with the departure of its 16-year veteran analyst Richard Gardner last spring.
Not only did Citi miss Apple's run from $560 to $705 -- a six-month stretch when the bank provided no coverage at all -- but then the new team gave clients a 20-day one-two punch: Issuing a Buy at $571 just before the stock fell to $509.79, then downgrading Apple to Neutral just before shares bounced back to $533.90.
As I say, I was wondering whether to comment on this string of spectacularly bad advice when "kylobbyist," a long-time member of Investor Village's AAPL Sanity board (and no fan of CNBC's Jim Cramer) pointed out that the king of hot-and-cold Apple TV commentators tore into Citi's back-to-back reports Tuesday night. "I just spit out a nice glass of cabernet," she posted. "I'm about to gag."
I found the No Huddle Offense clip, and embedded it below. Despite a few slips of the tongue, Cramer did a good job. I have nothing to add, except that Citi may regret the day it let Richard Gardner go.

Pura Tanah Lot may be the most popular and photographed temple on Bali. The structure – whose names mean earth (Tanah) and sea (Lot) – is situated on the west coast of the island atop an impressive rock formation in the sea.
Tanah Lot is dedicated to the god of the sea and one of the six most important temples of Bali. Equally as enchanting as the temple are the myths and legends associated with this holy place. Tanah Lot is linked to the person of Danghyang Nirarta, a priest who once chose this place to spend a night during one of his trips. This moved the Balinese to build the Tanah Lot in the same spot. Reportedly there used to be a bridge from the mainland to the temple, but it was destroyed by the power of the sea. An interesting detail is that Tanah Lot is located right above a cave with a magical source of freshwater, despite the saltwater surrounding the rock.
Photographers (amateur and pro alike) looking to amaze the folks back home will be delighted by Tanah Lot. The place is hugely photogenic, allowing for incredible views of the building from various vantage points. Depending on the position of the sun, this makes for truly stunning images. One tip is to turn right immediately at the entrance to the temple grounds and then walk up the hill through the garden. From this higher ground, the view of the temple is even more striking, with the added bonus that you might capture huge waves smashing against the rocks.
Tanah Lot is a 40-minute drive from Kuta and Ubud. This is a great base to visit the temple early in the day: The mystique of Tanah Lot truly comes into its own around dawn. The structure can be reached at low tide most easily. While it is also possible to go there during high tide, this requires taking a boat.

Gibson, Banks win SLC championships on final day
NORMAN, Okla. - The Oral Roberts track and field athletes wrapped up the second and final day of the Southland Conference Indoor Championships with seven medals, including championships by senior Jeffery Gibson and Tyler Banks.
In the men's 400 meter, and event Gibson had won multiple times during the regular season, the Bahamas native outran Stephen F. Austin's Cass Brown-Steward, crossing the line with a time of 47.53. The time was nearly two seconds faster than his qualifying time on Friday.
Sophomore runner Tyler Banks also brought home a conference championship on the second day of the meet in the 800 meter run, finishing with a time of 1:53.47, easily being the second place finisher.
Gibson and Banks also added medals in the 4x400 relay as they joined John Bradford and James Carey for a third place finish with a time of 3:29.63. Finishing just ahead of them was overall team champion Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State for first and second, respectively.
Madison Reynolds continues her successful freshman campaign with a second place medal at the conference indoor championships, finishing just five hundreds of a second behind the winner. Reynolds crossed with a time of 54.79, her best collegiate mark in the event.
On Friday, in the prelim for the 200 meter, Reynolds posted her collegiate best mark in that event with a time of 24.84.
Just as Gibson and Banks did in men's events, Reynolds joined up with Erin Roberson, Cornesha Wilkerson and Marrisa Thomas in the 4x400 relay, finishing in third at 3:51.04. It was the best time by an ORU female relay time in 2012-13.
ORU athletes will have final opportunities next weekend to qualify for indoor nationals, held at Arkansas. There is a qualifier scheduled on Friday at Oklahoma and on Saturday at Iowa State.

Need help with problem
Two walkers Jack and Jill walked by the same road and at the same time from point A to point B. When Jack was 50 miles from point B, he passed a jogger who was jogging towards point B at 6 miles per hour. Two hours later, Jack met a cyclist going in the opposite direction at 8 miles per hour. Jill overtook the same jogger when she was 30 miles from point B. Exactly 20 minutes before Jill reached a point 16 miles from point B she met the cyclist. Where was Jill when Jack reached point B?

Re: Need help with problem
I wish that Graeme would come back and give us the solution. I spent over an hour playing with this problem to no avail. It is one of those where creating the correct variable to begin with is imperative. Alas, I keep picking the wrong ones and I am sure that it isn't that difficult. You know the ones where you smack yourself in the head when you see how simple it is with the right perspective.

So Jack and Jill walk faster than a jogger. I've seen some slow joggers before. Actually, I'm one of them, on occasion.

Re: Need help with problem
What if the problem was modified so that they walked at the same rate (ie left at different times, Jack leaves before Jill). How far would Jill be from point B when Jack reached it in this case?
#7 2006-01-20 10:42:48
Re: Need help with problem
That they are walking at different rates is not the problem. I have now spent over two hours pouting over this one. The problem is the number of variables. Whenever you solve a problem like this you come up with a system of equations relating all of the variable to one another. The problem with this one is that there is not enough known to solve for all of the unknowns. You wind up with a bunch of relationships and no specific answer.
#8 2006-01-20 11:04:34
Re: Need help with problem
Oh I can assure you that I didn't make this one up off the top of my head. This came from a small maths paper and I will be waiting in anticipation for the "solution".

Re: Need help with problem
I am looking forward to the solution as well. I am relieved to hear that it wasn't some sort of pipe dream. If it is solvable without a computer program then it is a very good question indeed. It has left me baffled so far.

Well I managed to crank 11 equations out of this problem. There are 11 variables to consider so it should just be a matter of rearranging now. But I'm too exhausted to do it at this point so I'll just post what I found for now.

Oops. The position where the boy saw the cyclist on the graph I drew is obviously wrong. But fortunatly, that should have no effect on the truthfullness of the equations. (if I did them right in the first place)

Re: Need help with problem
Great minds think alike. I think that you got all of the same foundation relationships that I had. Now the hard part is upon you. When I started to rearange these formulas is when I got a headache. I have still not stumbled upon the combination which yields a single variable. That is why I told Graeme that even one more piece of information would have made this problem much easier.

Re: Need help with problem
I plugged the above refuse into my TI-89 and 20 seconds later it solved for B. Even then it spat out a implicit function which is useless because you need B to use it.

Wouldn't you think that the level of difficulty for such a problem should fit the purpose? I mean if you want to see if someone can solve a system of equations, why does it have to be such a large system?

The Gamecocks went through their first scrimmage of preseason practice in the stadium, and that meant the first chance for new coach Bill Clark and his staff to see the quarterbacks — all unproven by JSU standards — under game-like conditions.
By all accounts from within, it will be at least another week before separation is made. The goal is to trim down the picture to two quarterbacks who will get the most reps in the weeks leading up to the Aug. 31 opener at Alabama State and the one who will start the game. The second scrimmage and final scrimmage of camp is this coming Saturday.
"Honestly, I think we saw what we've been seeing this past week," Clark said. "I think we saw Eli (Jenkins) make good throws. I think we saw him make a ton of plays with his legs — and that's what we've seen the first week.
"Max (Shortell), I thought did a lot of good things. He made a mistake on a quick screen, and it got picked and went the other way, but made a ton of good throws. And then, (Kyle) West, who kind of fell down, came back and did a good job."
The two-hour scrimmage, a mix of game conditions and situations, was closed to outsiders save for a handful of parents who observed from the stands under the strictest of conditions — no phones, no pictures until after the exercise and, absolutely, positively no video. The coaches charted every snap — one of the tools to determine ultimately the quarterback of choice — but statistic were not provided afterwards. During the 7-on-7 segments open to reporters before the actual scrimmage, all three quarterbacks had their share of completions.
"I would be disappointed if this wasn't going to be tough (to decide)," Clark said. "Not that you don't want one guy to be great, but that means your other two aren't really good, and I thnk everybody's doing a lot of good things."
The race may look close at the quarter pole, but there does appear to be a slight separation between Shortell and Jenkins and West and Jayce Barber. Steven Coates, the only quarterback to have thrown a pass in a real game in a JSU uniform, still hasn't practiced.
Don't tell that to Shortell, the big-bodied Minnesota transfer, and Jenkins, the star of the spring game.
Shortell, the only quarterback with any appreciable Division I playing experience, said it's "usually pretty clear" when the real separation occurs, and he hasn't seen it yet.
"I just feel like we're pretty much right where we started," Shortell said. "We're all competing trying to get the job."
Added Jenkins: "I don't think it's changed. We're just all still competing and we're going to continue to compete until the end of camp. When they name the starter, they name the starter. Whoever it is we're going to win games with them."
Clark said before camp opened all the quarterbacks would get a chance to occupy the top spot on the depth chart. While they all bring something different to the offense, the deciding factor likely will be who makes fewer turnovers.
Both Shortell and Jenkins gave mixed reviews on their performances.
For Shortell, it was a timing issue. His missed some open throws, had some miscommunication with his receivers and got caught on a few sacks.
"I didn't feel I did very well at all," he said. "I've done well (in camp), but didn't feel like I showed my stuff today."
Jenkins thought his day went "OK, probably 50-50." He was pleased to have thrown a touchdown pass and made a "couple" good plays getting out of the pocket, but was kicking himself over missing a post late in the scrimmage.
"You can't let your guard down," he said. "You've got to play every day. It brings the best out of you."

Voters in the Fort Dodge Community School District approved an increase the system's physical plant and equipment levy.
The vote was 1,708 in favor to 1,597 opposed. Turnout was 3,306 of 18,881 registered voters, or roughly 17.5 percent.
The district asked voters to both renew the current 67 cent levy for another 10 years and approve another 67 cent increase. With the school board-approved 33 cents, this will give the district the maximum $1.67 levy per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
