Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (70 votes).
In short: Tissington trail this is not !In full: Don't be caught into thinking that this race is all alongside the train in a nice railway cutting - the locomotive has the easy track whilst the course takes you through tracks fields even freshly ploughed mud for that running on semolina feel! Plenty of refreshment and spectacular scenery tough climbs along hillsides waterafalls streams and the chance for a beer in the marquee at the end ! Date of review: August 24, 2006
In short: Rain, Rain and more Rain, yet still an excellent raceIn full: A "must do at least once" race [third time for me]. Given the atrocious conditions this year the race was run superbly with realy friendly marshals, though I did hear one was missing at a turn off and the leaders went a bit of course. Nevertheless will be back next year with the rest of the club.Date of review: August 23, 2006
In short: Toot Toot ! Here Comes the Train !In full: Superbly themed race, and excellent for spectators and runners alike. Raining like cats and dogs this year, which was brilliant. Fell shoes a must in these conditions. Top atmosphere and like a carnival weekend. A real must-do in glorious North Wales.Date of review: August 22, 2006
In short: Train......rain.......definitely do it again!In full: Beating it was always going to be a big ask, and with the weather it was even harder, but what a great race. It was everything I was told it would be; a nice variation of terrain (how do you manage to get a bog half way up a hill?). The marshals were numerous and encouraging....loads of drinks/sponge stations too.On reflection I think I can find those few minutes required to beat it next year. Definitely one to come back for......Date of review: August 22, 2006
In short: A great race loads of funDate of review: August 22, 2006
In short: brilliantIn full: loved every WET minute of it - seriously - can't wait for next year - and i'm 62Date of review: August 22, 2006
In short: Wet, muddy, fun and so so glad of fell shoesIn full: This was my second Race the Train, in which the train won last year and i manged to pull one back this time around. That's one-all, lets make it the best of 20!!! Date of review: August 22, 2006
In short: Fortunately didnt loose sense of humour in the mudIn full: Since reading "The Looniness of the Long Distance Runner", Ive wanted to do Race the Train and it didnt dissappoint. The course has been described as tough and if you are only used to canal paths, small bridges and tarmac, it is more than really tough, but a fantastic experience. The train toots and the spectators scream, all adding to the romance of the race. I wore old trainers with lace locks and often had to stop to haul them out of the mud, they also seemed to have no benefit on the slopes as my feet slipped out of them due to steep hills "camber". The single foot path dissappeared in places and at times you couldnt tell the difference between a cow pat and puddle, but again the train would toot and youd be motivated to move your chassis even though you have no hope of beating even the second train. A great weekend and a truely great escape from the monotany of yet another LSR on tarmac. Date of review: August 21, 2006
In short: Enjoyed it this year - knocked 10 mins or so off last year's time In full: The conditions really suited me, loved it apart from getting stuck behind people who seemed to be wearing racing flats and didn't get out of the way on the single file bit. Thanks to all the marshalls, it must have been miserable for them - also the spectators who were wet through, but still shouting loudly from the train and other vantage points. Date of review: August 21, 2006
In short: Not as tough as some people would have you believe, unless you want to beat the train. Quite a few people this year who should consider investing in a pair of fell shoes.In full: I'll be back to beat the train next year - leaner and fitter possibly but older inevitably.

One drop of Hispanic blood makes a student Hispanic, according to U.S. Education Department regulations that take effect this year. Students of non-Hispanic mixed parentage will be classified as "two or more races," which some says lumps together those who are likely to be disadvantaged (black and American Indian) and those who are not (white and Asian).
The new standards for kindergarten through 12th grades and higher education will probably increase the nationwide student population of Hispanics, and could erase some "black" students who will now be counted as Hispanic or as multiracial (in the "two or more races category"). And reclassifying large numbers of white Hispanic students as simply Hispanic has the potential to mask the difference between minority and white students' test scores, grades and graduation rates — the so-called achievement gap, a target of federal reform efforts that has plagued schools for decades.
The New York Times' Room for Debate asks: How should students of mixed ancestry be classified?
Not at all, responds Shelby Steele, a Hoover Institution fellow.
Civil rights leaders don't like this ruling because they are in the business of documenting racial disparities. In our culture mixed-race children do not carry the same level of entitlement as blacks. Giving them their own category reduces the number of blacks and, thus, the level of entitlement that civil rights groups can argue for.
Identity politics is a cynical and dehumanizing business that, in the end, helps no one. Better to eliminate all such categories and leave race and identity in the private realm.
Race still matters, writes Georgetown's Anthony Carnevale. His research shows that "being Black still has independent and powerful negative effects on educational opportunity, quite separate from language and class barriers." That is, blacks do significantly worse on tests even when socioeconomic factors are considered.
People who look black are treated differently. Other mixed-ethnicity people usually blend in, certainly where I live in California.
My new nephew celebrates his one-week birthday today. Like his sisters, he's one-quarter Hispanic in ancestry, but nobody will know that by his name or appearance or Spanish fluency. His first cousins are one-quarter Hispanic, one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Italian and one-quarter German/British, to simplify. They are middle-class Americans.
If we're going to classify kids by race, then we should know who's black-Hispanic and who's Asian-Caucasian and who's Samoan-Irish-Cherokee. Computers can do this in nanoseconds. But wouldn't it be nice to stop.

Manistique man accused in assault
By JACKIE STARK
For The Daily News
MANISTIQUE – A 35-year-old Manistique man is behind bars after police say he attacked another man sending him to the hospital with "significant injuries."
Gordon Daniel Baker II, 35, was arraigned in 93rd District Court Wednesday on one charge of assault with intent to murder, a felony with life imprisonment, one count of first-degree home invasion and one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, both of which are 10-year felonies.
Baker is also being charged as an habitual offender, fourth offense.
He is currently lodged in Schoolcraft County Jail with no bond.
According to a press release issued by Manistique Public Safety, officers received a call at 6:19 a.m. Tuesday of an assault in progress at 226 Range Street in Manistique.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers made contact with Michael Henry Chapek, 51, who lived at that address. Police said Chapek had suffered significant injuries which required immediate attention. He was immediately transported by officers to Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.

Since my C-section, I can't reach orgasm and sex is painful. Can you help?
I'm a 30-year-old female who had my first baby a few months ago by C-section. Before the birth, I was able to achieve orgasms, but now I can't...and sex is painful. Could the C-section have caused this? My vagina, especially the opening, feels inflamed and burns. I've been diagnosed and treated twice now with a non-specific bacterial vaginal infection, and I'm starting to show signs of infection again. I'm getting really discouraged about enjoying sex like I used to before the baby. Any advice?

Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on there were things she d rather not know. And now that she s an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she d rather not see like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.
There s a thing or two she d like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet Felipe de Castro, the Vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It s the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric s front yard especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank.
Now, it s up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who s set out to make Sookie s world come crashing down."
Publishers Weekly® Reviews

- Review Date: 2012-03-26
- Reviewer: Staff
The events of Dead Reckoning—particularly the death of the despicable but powerful vampire Victor—have consequences for Sookie Stackhouse and her supernatural gang in Harris's intriguing 13th and penultimate series installment. When Sookie's vampire husband, Eric Northman, summons her to his Shreveport home to welcome the visiting king, Felipe de Castro, and his entourage, she's shocked to find Eric feeding on another woman while the king and his underlings ravage their own humans downstairs. The woman Eric fed from turns up dead on his front lawn and someone calls the police, putting Eric and Felipe's entourage under suspicion. With the help of ex-boyfriend Bill Compton, Sookie grudgingly sets out to clear Eric's name while trying to keep the local fae under control after her kin, Claude and Niall, return to the land of Faery. As loyalties realign and betrayals are unmasked, Harris ably sets the stage for the ensemble's last hurrah. Agent: Joshua Bilmes, JABberwocky Literary Agency. (May)

From Jamison on his protege, rookie power forward Tristan Thompson: "I can tell you now, in four or five years, I wouldn't want to have to deal with him night in and night out. It's one of those situations where I can sit back and say, 'I remember him as a rookie' when he's playing in All-Star Games and things of that nature. I'm a big fan of his. I can't wait for him to be a household name in the league."
It will be interesting to see over the next few years whether the Cavs would have been better off taking Williams with the first pick and Brandon Knight at #4. Or Irving/Vala. At this point I'd say TT is better than expected and has a lot of upside, at least according to the guy who jousts against him in practice every day.
Now we need Chris Jent to fix his free throw shooting.

The latest Avatar movie directed by James Cameron has quickly earned over a billion of dollars and become one of the most popular movies in history. But, in addition to being a revolutionary movie, Avatar may also become a key "killer app" for the emerging stereoscopic HDTV industry.
"HDTV never had a 'killer app' and has consequently taken a decade to gain any real traction – and even then, it is been largely a result of rapidly falling prices and last year's switch to digital. Avatar, however, has clearly presented consumers – and the industry at large – with a compelling case for going 3D," said Alex Perilla-Gayle, director of consumer insights at Zpryme market research and consulting firm.
According to Zpryme, 3D HDTV could not have a have a better killer app than Avatar 3D. Based on overall consumer and industry excitement, it is clear that 3D is here to stay this time around, the market research firm claims, and based on the success of Avatar, 3D HDTV adoption seems set to mirror, if not exceed, that of HDTV.
Even though Avatar seems to be the title that drove huge amount of interest towards stereoscopic 3D theaters, its effect on popularity of 3D HDTVs should not be overestimated. In fact, the first Blu-ray edition of Avatar will be in traditional 2D format and only the second edition will feature 3D and will be available on when there are enough 3D HDTVs.
"There is plenty for a value-added DVD experience on this film. Of course, we will have to go punch it all up and get it all mixed and stuff like that. […] Probably, the initial Blu-ray release of Avatar will not be in 3D and then a subsequent release will be in 3D, that is my guess right now. So we will probably put out a disk in six or eight months, let's call it six months, and then after that we will have a 3D disc when there are enough sets available," said James Cameron in interview with MTV.
It is doubtful that Avatar will be the "killer app" for 3D HDTV, instead, it will be one of many examples of high-quality stereoscopic 3D. Considering the fact that people will need time to learn how to shoot proper 3D movies and make sufficient amount of them, it is unlikely that there will be a critical mass of 3D content available in the next couple of years to catalyze many to upgrade to stereo 3D HDTV and stereo 3D Blu-ray player. As a result, the emerging stereo 3D HDTV industry will face a typical "chicken and egg" scenario that will be further complicated by different stereoscopic 3D technologies, necessity to wear glasses and variable experience. To make the matters even more complicated, many TV companies are working on ultra high-definition standards, which also require new equipment.
All in all, while there is clear interest towards stereoscopic 3D at home, Discovery, ESPN, DirectTV and HDNET have all announced plans to launch 3D networks, it will take a lot of time till stereoscopic 3D becomes a standard for home entertainment. The good news here is that the buzz about stereo 3D is increasing already.

Monday, January 9, 2012 - Story by Don Hearn | Photos by BadmintonPhoto
Korean men's doubles star Jung Jae Sung has been playing at his home Open every year since the beginning of the millennium.
The 29-year-old made his first waves here back in 2005, when he and then partner Lee Jae Jin, charged with filling the void left by six of Korea's doubles veterans who had all retired, had beaten the defending champions and world #1's in the second round, before falling in the semi-finals.
Jung won his first Korea Open back in 2007 in his second outing at home with current partner Lee Yong Dae. Since then, they have reached four more finals and won two more titles.
Perhaps their biggest win came in 2010. With Lee Yong Dae nursing an elbow injury, the Koreans played a thrilling final against China's Cai/Fu, who had beaten them in the 2009 World Championship final, and pulled off their second title. At the time, Jung dedicated the victory to his mother, who had died in late '09 and who he insisted was there to watch them win.
In 2012, though, the three-time champions couldn't find a way past the world #1's and had to let the men's doubles title at the 2012 Victor Korea Open, one of five OSIM BWF World Superseries Premier events, sail back to China with 2008 champions Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng.
"I really wanted to win because this is my last Korea Open - as I'm retiring after the Olympics - and I'm happy to reach the final," said Jung Jae Sung after his match.
"But Cai and Fu really wanted to win too and we weren't able to play at the level we have had to to beat them.
"Cai and Fu are really the ones with a lot of experience playing for the big points in big events so it's so hard to hold them off."
Jung Jae Sung has been struggling with a shoulder injury since late last year but he was still taking on more attacking duties than he did in his last two tournaments.
"I'll be staying home from the Malaysia Open next week. I'm going to start some rehabilitation for my shoulder and other problems. I should have a good month and a half to heal up and rest and I hope to be ready for the All England and other European tournaments in March."
Jung Jae Sung is the highest profile player to have had his career interrupted, to a degree, by his military service, a compulsory right of passage for all young Korean men.
However, he had two chances to earn exemption, once in the 2006 Doha Asian Games, when he and Lee lost narrowly in the semi-finals, and then again at the Beijing Olympics, where this last chance feeling compounded the already overwhelming pressure experienced by any Olympian. Gold at the former and any medal at the latter would have spared him the two-year obligation.
In the end, Jung was able to continue playing internationally but basic training kept the duo from defending their All England title in 2009 and from maintaining their world #1 ranking that spring.
This time around, his last Olympics will merely be exactly that: a final shot at the most coveted piece of gold.
"I started to realize last September that each event I played, I was playing for the last time and I think that made be give just a little bit more.
"We only have a few tournaments left before the Olympics, now, though, and although I hope to do well and leave some great memories in all of them, the Olympics are my number one goal and that's what I'm focussing all my efforts on from here on."

Food Habits
Red foxes are essentially omnivores. They mostly eat Rodentia, Sylvilagus floridanus, Insecta, and fruit. They will also eat carrion. Red foxes also store food and are very good at relocating these caches. Red foxes have a characteristic manner of hunting Peromyscus leucopus. The fox stands motionless, listening and watching intently for a mouse it has detected. It then leaps high and brings the forelimbs straight down forcibly to pin the mouse to the ground. They eat between 0.5 and 1 kg of food each day.

Campus Trees
UNC campus can be considered an arboretum as the campus holds some very unique trees and over the years some of our trees have boasted State Champion status.
We strive for a diverse population of trees and ornamental plantings, in order to assist in educating the UNC community of proper plant selection and arrangement in the landscape.
One of our goals is to promote plant health by performing proper maintenance practices that include proper watering, fertilization, pesticide application and pruning, as well as to serve as the standard for professional horticultural practices for the Greeley community at large.
It is also our goal to preserve our campus heritage by encouraging tree protection prior to and during construction.
Pruning and Removals
Currently, UNC is completing a 5-year high risk tree assessment. This has comprised mostly of the campus perimeter street trees. This evaluation included 119 removals and complete pruning of over 700 trees. The older Central Campus and its respective largest and oldest trees were targeted first, as the older trees pose the greatest risk. The next 5-year (2008-2013) evaluation will include the trees on the West Campus and the University Center. After this 5-year period, tree assessments will rotate back to the Central Campus. The overall impact of hazardous tree evaluation program is to make our campus safer, promote tree health and minimize tree failures due to high winds and other severe weather impacts.
Tree removals are submitted for approval through the Assistant Vice President of Facilities Management and tree removals within the City of Greeley Right-of-Way, are subject to approval by the City of Greeley, Division of Forestry.
Pruning priorities are based on high risk trees that pose the greatest risk to human life and property damage. High risk trees are determined with use of the Hazardous Tree Evaluation guidelines. For further information, regarding tree evaluation and resources, visit Trees Are Good.
Pesticide Applications / Ips Engraver Beetle
UNC continues the constant battle against Ips Engraver Beetle that attacks the older population of our Heritage Blue Spruce trees. Some of these giants are nearly 100 years old. A contractor applies an insecticide (Astro) during the Spring Break Period. Faculty and staff are notified via email of the proposed application schedule. A diverse landscape promotes a healthy campus by discouraging insect infestations disease.
Natural Disaster Planning
Supplemental to the University's Emergency Response Plan, a Preparedness Checklist is included to address catastrophic tree losses on the university campus and the adjacent community. It is only a checklist to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to mitigate such losses.
Landscape/Tree Protection
UNC enforces the Landscape Preservation Policy measures prior to and during construction, in order to follow standards for the preservation of specimen trees, ornamental plantings, and historically significant trees and landscape plantings on campus.

Kidder,If you are specifically referring to my desert dough, not really. My dough contains about 160g of water, or about 55.555% hydration. I don't want it too wet because I add butter to it when preparing cinnamon rolls. The dough is in fact pretty sticky, not dry by most people's standards.- red.novemberEDIT: Most desert doughs need to be formulated so that they can withstand a lot of outside moisture from things like fillings, syrups, fruit, butter, etc.
Wow, thanks for catching that. I guess it was one of those rare unconscious moments I just went with the spelling that came before me. That's probably why I didn't get your joke. Technically it wasn't my spelling, but I should have still caught it. You're such a kidder.

Decision on RPI surprises pension funds
The UK's Office for National Statistics surprised the pensions industry this morning by deciding to leave a key inflation metric, RPI, unchanged after a three-month review - and the gilts and swaps markets shifted as widely held expectations of a change were unwound.
The ONS had suggested altering the Retail Prices Index to bring it closer into line with another measure, the Consumer Prices Index, which has consistently reported inflation figures between 0.5 and 1 percentage point a year lower.
But this morning, Jil Matheson, director of the agency, said: "There is significant value to users in maintaining the continuity of the existing RPI's long time series without major change, so that it may continue to be used for long-term indexation and for index-linked gilts and bonds in accordance with user expectations."
The ONS will publish a new index, RPIJ, from March which takes into account its suggested changes, but it will be supplementary to RPI, instead of replacing it. Its full statement this morning is available here: http://bit.ly/UAHVUe.
David Rae, head of investment solutions in Europe at Russell Investments, said: "This morning's announcement by Jil Matheson to leave the RPI calculation methodology unchanged is somewhat surprising. The market had been expecting a change."
Mark Davies, a managing director at investment consultancy P-Solve, said: "The shift in the market has already happened. Even before the market opened there were some prices that were being quoted 20 basis points higher. And straightaway as the market did open, 30-year RPI inflation swaps jumped by 30 basis points, from 3.3% per annum to 3.6% per annum, within minutes."
P-Solve's parent company, the actuarial consultancy Punter Southall, has been advising pension fund clients to assume that a 0.5% fall in RPI inflation had already been "priced in" - suggesting a no-change decision would adjust predicted future RPI upward again by 0.5 points.
As a result of this, some companies might even see their pension deficit rise slightly; the effect will depend on their holdings of index-linked gilts and other assets.
Punter Southall gave a simplified example; if a £300m fund held 75% of its money in index-linked gilts and 25% in equities, and had a £60m deficit, that deficit might rise to £64m thanks to the adjustment of expected RPI back upward.
Nevertheless today's decision will please most of the pensions and fund management industry. The ONS said 332 of the 406 responses it received to its consultation had argued for no change, and observed: "The large majority of responses did not address methodological issues but identified the impact that the changes implied… would have for them.
"These were primarily in terms of the anticipated yield on investments such as ... index-linked gilts and the value of pension income."
Axa Investment Managers was one firm to say earlier this week it would prefer the status quo, with David Dyer, senior portfolio manager, arguing: "RPI is a very long-standing index and one that has been used by many parties in striking long-term financial contracts over the years."
However, Crispin Lace, director, consulting and advisory services at Russell Investments, said: "Those who were deferring any further inflation hedging until after the announcement may feel that they have missed out on an opportunity to hedge while linkers were 'cheap'. However, we caution against any precipitous action as markets may well settle down over the next few weeks, as the longer term impact becomes clearer."

Quick overview
CUBRID is an open source database management system highly optimized for web applications. CUBRID assures the high performance, stability, scalability, and high availability which are required for mission-critical Internet applications.
CUBRID is a relational database system with object extensions. In addition to being a full-featured relational DBMS, it also supports collection types. The architectural solution adopted by CUBRID has a multi-process approach. There are several subsystems, each one is executed in different processes:
- Server Subsystem - a multi-threaded storage engine which runs as a separate Database Server Process. It consists of:
- Storage manager
- Lock manager
- Log manager
- Transaction manager
- Object manager
- Query manager
- Client Subsystem provides a native C programming language API, cosisting of:
- Query parser and optimizer
- Object and lock cache
- Transaction manager
- Object manager
- Trigger manager
- Broker Subsystem is linked with the client library and implements the CCI protocol. It is in charge of:
- Job queuing
- Connection pooling
- Monitoring
- Logging
Broker Subsystem has connectors for the JDBC driver and the CCI library. The other drivers (ODBC, OLEDB, PHP, Python, and Ruby) are implemented using the CCI services.
This unique CUBRID Architecture enables large scaling as CUBRID's middleware can be run on several hardware machines to perform CPU intensive computation (such
as query optimization) in parallel, while reducing the Database Server's work load. This Architecture also improves the system's stability, reliability and
security by isolating potential issues in query processing outside of the Database Server process.
As a GUI client for CUBRID DBMS there is CUBRID Manager implemented in Java.
CUBRID has a rich set of features that make it suitable for high data volume applications. Its' continually improved code base and specially designed optimizations make it very fast, especially for (but not limited to) web applications' work loads. Take a look at the benchmark results for a "Hotspot" workload concentrated on a specific post in a bulletin board.
CUBRID tutorials and manuals can be found in the Documentation section.

Here's how RW members rated this race (227 votes).
In short: Well worth doingIn full: Good organisation with encouraging marshalls - nice stadium finish, decent t-shirt, nice route on the canal and in the country - hills add a challenge - it's my hometown half and I really enjoy it. Date of review: December 27, 2009
In short: A bit of prior hill training and your sorted!In full: Enjoyed this run, hills are over pretty quickly, very scenic, water stations at good intervals, will definitely be doing it again next year hopefully beating my time!Date of review: March 18, 2009
In short: Well doneIn full: Great race this. The special things that make this a good race include the email pre and post race, the great support from the marshalls who are clearly 'in the know' with running, the chap on the second hill with the mascochistic smile and of course those hills!!Well done one and all, great effort.Date of review: March 10, 2009
In short: Great raceIn full: My first time for this one and I am really pleased I came - and I will be encouraging others in my club to join me next year.It was a good route, the hills really were killers but the downhill sections do compensate. The wind was a bit cruel but ir probably helped in the latter half.Great organisation supported by the good start / finish location.Date of review: March 10, 2009
In short: Extremely well organised.In full: This really is a picturesque course. Yes the hills are steep and therefore challenging but with the compensating downhills and the remainder pretty flat a number of people achieved PBs. Well organised and well marshalled, I shall definitely be back next year. Date of review: March 10, 2009
In short: good organisation and a lovely route- will be back for moreDate of review: March 10, 2009
In short: Excellent views, oganisation and two great hills! :-)In full: Well done to all involved! My first time at this particular event and I must say I was impressed! The run was broken up nicely with a good mix of road running and a nice run along the Grantham canal along with excellent views of the Lincolnshire countryside. The two hills were a good challenge on miles six and ten - made all the more pleasurable by the signs reminding us that Lincoln was 'flat'. The stadium finish was a nice touch as well - in fact this is the first stadium finish I have done. With the hills and sometimes a quite strong headwind I was still able to finish this one thirteen minutes faster than my previous half - happy days! The only small gripe I would have was the long wait at the end for the tee-shirt. It might be a good idea to include the shirt in the goody bag as at other events I have been to. Perhaps a finisher's medal would be nice to? All in all though I would and will recommend this event to all! Well done - see you in 2010!Date of review: March 10, 2009
In short: great scenery, interesting route - good mix of roads and pathsIn full: The two hills make it even more interesting - high for Lincolnshire but no problem compared with many places. The lap and half on the athletics track at the end kept it competitive right to the line.Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: A well organised race with friendly marshals, 2 challenging one-in-ten hills and nice countryside.Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: Superb organisation, and the most scenic and rewarding of routesIn full: This was brilliant - loved the little roadside boards to get you fired up as you went round - helped you focus on the two hills that's for sure. A great route that naturally splits into segments to help you manage your race. I knocked fifteen minutes off my half marathon time here: that's down to a number of things but this route is certainly quick, despite the two sharp hills. Defiinitely do it again and a special word to the excellent marshalls who looked after us all the way round. Faultless.Date of review: March 9, 2009

We've covered many stories about GPS tracking being used to track wildlife, but this is the first time we've seen GPS tracking being used to track animals in the arctic. U.S. Geological Survey Researchers and scientists have been using GPS collars to send coordinates back to them which tell them where arctic wolves are traveling to. They have specifically been monitoring a wolf named "burtus" as he travels with his pack. Their goal is to discover what these animals do during the exceptionally long and dark winter in harsh arctic environment. But before these high tech collars became available, scientists were limited to studying these animals only in during the summer months and they were only able to theorize about how the wolves lived during the winter months.
"This year, we made a huge technological jump from notebook and pens to satellite collars because we wanted to find out what these arctic wolves do in winter in areas when it is dark 24 hours a day and temperatures can fall to -70 degrees Fahrenheit," said David Mech, USGS wolf researcher, in a press release . "How far must they travel to obtain enough food to make it to the Arctic spring, which doesn't happen until the next June?"

Suppose that you want to buy some guppies and rainbowfish for your aquarium. If you buy 10 guppies and 15 rainbowfish, it will cost you $90, and if you buy 15 guppies and 10 rainbowfish, it will cost you $85. How much do guppies and rainbowfish each cost? Can you set up a system of equations to find out? How would you go about solving it? In this Concept, you'll learn about solving systems of linear equations by multiplication so that you can find the solution to this type of problem.

Multimedia Link: For even more practice, we have this video. One common type of problem involving systems of equations (especially on standardized tests) is "age problems." In the following video, the narrator shows two examples of age problems, one involving a single person and one involving two people. Khan Academy Age Problems (7:13)

You may need to set up a free account with Brightstorm to finish watching the video.
The previous Concepts have provided three methods to solve systems: graphing, substitution, and elimination through addition and subtraction. As stated in each Concept, these methods have strengths and weaknesses. Below is a summary.
A good technique to visualize the equations and when both equations are in slope-intercept form.
- Solving a system by graphing is often imprecise and will not provide exact solutions.
Works particularly well when one equation is in standard form and the second equation is in slope-intercept form.
Gives exact answers.
- Can be difficult to use substitution when both equations are in standard form.
Elimination by Addition or Subtraction
Works well when both equations are in standard form and the coefficients of one variable are additive inverses.
Answers will be exact.
- Can be difficult to use if one equation is in standard form and the other is in slope-intercept form.
- Addition or subtraction does not work if the coefficients of one variable are not additive inverses.
Although elimination by only addition and subtraction does not work without additive inverses, you can use the Multiplication Property of Equality and the Distributive Property to create additive inverses.
Multiplication Property and Distributive Property:
If , then and
While this definition box may seem complicated, it really states that you can multiply the entire equation by a particular value and then use the Distributive Property to simplify. The value you are multiplying by is called a scalar.
Example A
Solve the system .
Solution: Neither variable has additive inverse coefficients. Therefore, simply adding or subtracting the two equations will not cancel either variable. However, there is a relationship between the coefficients of the variable.
By multiplying the second equation by the scalar 2, you will create additive inverses of . You can then add the equations.
To find the value, use the Substitution Property in either equation.
The solution to this system is .
Example B
Solve the system .
Not only does neither variable have additive inverse coefficients, but there also isn't a relationship between the coefficients of either variable. In other words, the coefficients of each variable do not share any common factors. Therefore, we can try to eliminate either variable first. We will show how to solve this problem by eliminating .
In order to make have the same coefficient in each equation, we must multiply one equation by the coefficient of in the other equation. We need to multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3. If we make one of those numbers negative, we can easily eliminate . It does not matter which one we make negative:
To find the value, use the Substitution Property in either equation.
The solution to this system is .
Example C
Andrew and Anne both use the I-Haul truck rental company to move their belongings from home to the dorm rooms on the University of Chicago campus. I-Haul has a charge per day and an additional charge per mile. Andrew travels from San Diego, California, a distance of 2,060 miles in five days. Anne travels 880 miles from Norfolk, Virginia, and it takes her three days. If Anne pays $840 and Andrew pays $1,845.00, what does I-Haul charge:
a) per day?
b) per mile traveled?
Solution: Begin by writing a system of linear equations: one to represent Anne and the second to represent Andrew. Let amount charged per day and amount charged per mile.
There are no relationships seen between the coefficients of the variables. Instead of multiplying one equation by a scalar, we must multiply both equations by the least common multiple.
The least common multiple is the smallest value that is divisible by two or more quantities without a remainder.
Suppose we wanted to eliminate the variable because the numbers are smaller to work with. The coefficients of must be additive inverses of the least common multiple.
The company charges $0.75 per mile.
To find the amount charged per day, use the Substitution Property and either equation.
I-Haul charges $60.00 per day and $0.75 per mile.
Guided Practice
Solve the system .
Neither nor have additive inverse coefficients, but the -variables do share a common factor of 2. Thus we can most easily eliminate .
In order to make have the same coefficient in each equation, we must multiply one equation by the factor not shared in the coefficient of in the other equation. We need to multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2, making one of them negative as well:
To find the value, use the Substitution Property in either equation.
The solution to this system is .
