Size isn't everything, we know. But size and style combined? Well, maybe.
In the last couple of years, almost every computer company from Acer to Zoostorm has been making netbooks, the low-cost, lightweight, small-screened laptops which have proved tremendously popular. Since they often cost under £200, their appeal is easy to understand, despite their limitations. People were prepared to live with keyboards which are almost always cramped and uncomfortable, to put up with trackpads that are nearly unusable, to deal with heavily constrained battery life.
Factors like being cheap, light and easy to plop into a small bag outweighed these concerns. But while high-end companies like HP, Toshiba and Sony joined the netbook gold rush, one company held back: Apple.
Steve Jobs was forthright in this year's unveiling of the iPad, saying that netbooks "are not better than laptops at anything, they're just cheaper." And the iPad, it seems has been cutting into netbook sales, even though the limited connectivity and closed system of the iPad means it's not direct competition.
The company already had a superb lightweight machine in its range, the 13-inch-screened MacBook Air. But for portability, design and capability, it took until now for the real answer to the netbook to appear.
Now it has: a smaller screened MacBook Air. It has an 11-inch display which is significantly diddier than its earlier model but still helpfully bigger than practically any netbook – these mostly max out at 10 inches. Like the previous one, it has tapering edges that make its narrow profile even slimmer. In terms of portability it's flatter than the competition.
Apple loves its aluminium and the "unibody" design means the base of the MacBook Air is hewn from one lump of metal. In turn this means the aluminium offers light weight and strength. Not to mention great stylishness.
Details are important. Try this test to understand the company's obsession with industrial design. Next time you have a lightweight laptop to hand, put it on the desk with the opening towards you. Then lift the lid with your thumb. Chances are, the base of the laptop will tip up, too: you'll need to steady the keyboard part of the chassis with your other hand. With every MacBook, including this new lightweight tiddler, the machine is so finely balanced that the base will stay put as you flip the lid. It's a small thing but once you've noticed it, you wonder why everyone doesn't take care of it.
Although the MacBook Air only has an 11-inch screen, it's a high-resolution 1,366x768 pixel display, which looks great. The connectivity has been improved – there are now two USB slots where the original MacBook Air had only one. Mind you, most rival laptops manage three USB connectors. And there's another disappointment: still no dedicated Ethernet port, so you need an optional extra adaptor.
One of the main standouts on this machine is the keyboard. Despite the small screen, the keyboard is near-identical to the one on the MacBook Pro 15-inch model, one of the most comfortable keyboards anywhere. The keyboard here is exactly as wide as the bigger machine's, with good-sized, widely spaced keys (save for the smaller function keys in the top row). A large glass pad replaces the small trackpad found on most netbooks. It's highly usable, responds to multi-touch gestures and even clicks when you press it. Together, the keyboard and trackpad set the MacBook Air apart.
Even so, we haven't got to the real reason the new model stands out. That's flash. Not flash as in showy and eye-catching, though that applies too, but in the sense of the kind of storage it uses. Instead of a regular hard drive, the MacBook Air has no-moving-parts flash memory. This is the kind of solid-state storage you'll find in a mobile phone or iPad. It's compact, reliable and, above all, fast. At around twice the speed of a hard drive, it makes the MacBook Air quick and responsive.
Just as the iPad stays in a standby state most of the time rather than being switched off – you won't actually power it down except because of aeroplane regulations at wheels-up – so this laptop goes to sleep after a few minutes and wakes fast, too. This instant-on capability is one of the most appealing features here and for some people may make the cheaper iPad less attractive.
What's more, you can leave the machine in this slumbering state and the battery, Apple claims, will keep it ticking over for up to 30 days.
Of course, actually using the thing will drain the battery more quickly, but it will last for up to five hours between charges. Some netbooks manage more than this, but far from all.
So is it really the future for laptops? Well, it's a heck of a lot pricier, though at £849 there's a lot of bang for your buck and it's hard to see how it could have been made for much less with this build quality. The processor speeds aren't as great as some laptops, though you're rarely kept waiting. The keyboard isn't backlit (unlike on most other Apple laptops), which is a shame. Then there's that limited connectivity, mentioned above, and the fact that if you want a slot to read a camera SD memory card – common on Windows PCs – you'll need the larger 13-inch-screen model. And some will feel the 2GB of RAM just isn't enough. Despite these faults, the MacBook Air is still irresistible.
It's been a busy year for Apple, with a glossy new iPhone that has sold massively, despite an initial flurry of concern about the antenna. And the iPad, arguably the most innovative consumer electronics device from any company in years, has been hugely popular. The MacBook Air, though, thanks to its being brilliantly portable and devastatingly appealing, may lay claim to being Apple's best product release this year.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Former University of Tennessee basketball guard Ramar Smith is accused of taking money, guns and marijuana in a home invasion and robbery, according to court records.
Knox County Jail Officer Betty Shelton told The Associated Press that the 22-year-old Smith turned himself in early Thursday on a charge of aggravated robbery. He was later released on $15,000 bond.
According to court records obtained by The Knoxville News Sentinel, the victim told police Smith was at his apartment to buy marijuana.
The victim told police while he was talking with Smith, another person entered the apartment with a gun. Records accuse the pair of taking $6,000 in cash and a half pound of marijuana.
Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl dismissed Smith, a native of Mount Clemens, Mich., after the 2007-08 season. He averaged 7.4 points and 3.2 assists that season, but Pearl said he failed to meet expectations off the court.

Inside the numbers: N.C. State
Published: Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 11:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 11:14 p.m.
Five statistics that jump out at you when you look at Florida's super regional opponent North Carolina State:
1. Road record
The Wolfpack were awfully good at home, but away from the friendly confines they were only 10-12. Florida was excellent at home all year including a sweep of the regionals and has won its last two super regionals at McKethan Stadium.
2. Trea Turner
You want speed? This guy has it. He has stolen an amazing 56 bases this year in 60 attempts. It sets up for a great matchup against Florida catcher Mike Zunino, the third pick of the MLB draft, who has thrown out 20 players attempting to steal base out of 65 attempts.
3. Heeee struck him out
Carlos Rodon might have been the first pick in the draft if he was eligible. The Wolfpack pitcher is not only unbeaten this year, he has struck out 132 batters in 111.2 innings. Florida batters, by contrast, have struck out only 16 percent of the time in their 2,105 at-bats.
4. Then again …
Rodon has been brilliant but the rest of the North Carolina State staff has been middle of the road. Combined, the non-Rodon pitchers have an ERA of 4.18, which isn't bad but is hardly overwhelming.
5. They can be offensive
They are different leagues but with comparable talent. That's what makes some of the N.C. State offensive stats stand out. The Wolfpack would rank first in the SEC in walks (261), runs (428) and doubles (147).

Not too long ago, a dozen years or so, the talk was that Ralph Fiennes just might be the best actor of his generation, gliding effortlessly from stage to screen, embodying fully and frighteningly characters ranging from the horrid Nazi commandant in Schindler's List to the debased American intellectual in Quiz Show. But the biz is fickle and, since then, that talk has diminished, even if his talents have not. These days, the putative best actor of his generation is left, along with half the British thespian community, to vie for the crown of best actor in the Harry Potter saga. Things change.
And so has Fiennes. Pushing 50 now, clad in black shirt and blue jeans, sporting a full beard with long thinning hair combed straight back, he appears to have lost a fair chunk of his matinee-idol looks, perhaps to encroaching age or maybe just to his latest role – as Prospero in a production of The Tempest on London's West End. "I had a dispensation of two nights off," he says, "But I have to be back at work tomorrow." The dispensation has brought him to Toronto (we are speaking last fall during the Toronto International Film Festival) to promote another change in his status: his debut as a film director. Yes, like many before him, the Oliviers and Branaghs and Eastwoods and Redfords, he's finally jumped behind the camera, while still starring in front of it.
His choice of material is both surprising and not. It's Shakespeare inevitably, but Coriolanus is hardly the most celebrated part of the canon. Not that the play lacks fans. T.S. Eliot preferred it to Hamlet, and Cole Porter clearly enjoyed its rhyming potential ( "If she says your behaviour is heinous/ Kick her right in the Coriolanus"). Fiennes, naturally, had loftier motives for the choice: "In the popular Shakespeares like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet or Midsummer Night's Dream, we know where to put our sympathies, but here we don't. Quite deliberately, we're not meant to know who to be rooting for, and I love that. I find it dramatically thrilling that there's this complicated figure who doesn't let us in."
Just to brush up your Shakespeare, that title figure is a Roman general bred in the patrician class who, after a successful military campaign, is wooed into politics. There, he refuses to pander to the people or their wishes, a proud lapse that leads to his expulsion and later to his betrayal of Rome. In Fiennes's rapid-fire version, shot in Belgrade, the text is stripped down and the setting is contemporary. With a shaved head and battle fatigues, his Coriolanus brandishes an automatic pistol in one hand and a cellphone in the other, while cinematographer Barry Ackroyd (who worked with Fiennes in The Hurt Locker) turns the Bard's action scenes into vicious urban warfare.
Why modernize the play so aggressively? Two reasons, the first pragmatic and the second aesthetic: (1) "Frankly, it was easier to finance that way," and (2) "I kept seeing images in the newspaper that were clearly Coriolanus, like Milosevic's coffin being fork-lifted from The Hague, or endless images out of Iraq."
Consequently, in this adaptation, TV screens abound, with the media used as the vox populi that the general, in his patrician pride, refuses to appease. Whatever the other changes in his appearance, Fiennes's eyes remain as piercingly blue as ever, and here they twinkle with delight: "I'm afraid I like his contempt of the populist media. There's something in me that finds the endless shape-shifting of the media slightly repugnant, the way we're all kept in this constant noise. So I took a kind of pleasure in the fact that Coriolanus has complete contempt for that. For example, when he says with disdain, 'Let them wash their faces and keep their teeth clean,' I always laugh at that."
Perhaps he comes by that sympathy honestly, given his own distant patrician background – Fiennes is an eighth cousin to the Prince of Wales. He's also a third cousin to the explorer Ranulph Fiennes, although (like his siblings Joseph and Martha) his adventures are confined to the world of art. Oh, and amour too. His first marriage, to actress Alex Kingston, ended, as did a long-term relationship with actress Francesca Annis, not to mention (if press reports are to be believed) a rather shorter one with a flight attendant on board a Qantas flight. In his personal life, allegedly, those blues eyes are prone to roving.
But professionally, on the screen at least, what counts is his face, and its remarkable ability to register the extremes of brutish strength or utter fragility, sometimes simultaneously. He can look huge and menacing ( Schindler's List, In Bruges, Strange Days); he can look diminutive and frail ( The Constant Gardener, The Reader, Oscar and Lucinda); and he can look a heart-rending combination of the two ( The English Patient, Spider, Sunshine).
Coriolanus demands a lot of the brute but also, at the climax, a crucial element of the fragile, where Fiennes relies heavily on the movie actor's sharpest tool: the close-up. This helped to solve a problem that defeated him on stage: "I don't think I quite pulled off the role on stage, because he's so strong in his views, with so many angry speeches, that I'm afraid there was a tendency to stridency in my performance. But here I could modulate it with the close-up."
Such are the benefits of film, and of film directing. His major influence, behind the camera anyway, was another candidate for best actor of his generation: "Olivier made a very profound impression on me. When I was very young, the first movie I saw was Bambi, and the second was Henry V." He laughs, and so do I, openly at his remark but, more covertly, at his physical posture while delivering the remark. In conversation, Fiennes has a way of always looking up from beneath a slightly tilted head, suddenly fixing you with a glance that appears at once as defiant as a Tudor king and, yes, as shy as Bambi.
He continues: "Also, Olivier's filming of Hamlet remains daring and cinematic. Like him, I would like to direct again, but not Shakespeare the next time. Maybe later, though. You know, I think if he were working today, Shakespeare would be writing amazing screenplays, because he's continually cutting in his plays from one place to the next. What he does with visual imagery when he has people describing things, he'd be writing descriptive scenes instead. How do we know, really, yet it's a nice idea to ponder."
It is, but the time for pondering is over. He's late. An airplane awaits (if not a flight attendant) and Prospero beckons an ocean away – let our indulgence set him free.Report Typo/Error

I don't mind the things that you say
I don't even mind going out of my way
I try and do these things for you
Why should I do it
I'm always untrue
Well, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Going out of your head
I ain't seen you off the screen
But those films are my dreams
And I can't take much more of you
'Cause the bog is no place
to see your face
Can't you see I'm out of my head
Oh can't you see I'm a little insane
Oh can't you see I'm really dead
Going down, down, out of my head
I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong ! HA HA HA !
Going out of my head...

The first number I ever fell in love with was 4. I don't know exactly why, but the fact that you could double 1 a couple of times and get 4, that there were 4 dots in a square, and that you clapped in 4/4 time made 4 seem very natural and beautiful to me.
Even today when setting things like the volume of an MP3 player or the radio in the car I'll always settle on a multiple of 4.
Maybe it's just me?
There are 4 letters in the word "four". This is the only number for which the number of letters and the number itself match up.
This diagram tells us a couple of very cool things about the number 4.
Four is the first number that can be written as the product of factors other than 1 and itself. So 4 is the first "composite" number.
Because 4 = 2 x 2 we can place 4 dots in a square. So we say that 4 is "2 squared" and we write this
4 = 22. The number floating around in the air is called a "power" or "exponent". We also say 4 is "2 to the power of 2".
Extending this notation, 5 x 5 x 5 could also be written as 53 and called "5 to the power of 3".
Our DNA is housed in the nucleus of our cells and packaged as long structures called chromosomes. For all its incredible complexity, at its heart are four – just four – basic building blocks called nucleotides.
The nucleotides contain one of four bases, thymine, cytosine, adenine and guanine and it's the arrangements of billions of these A, C, G and Ts, that packs the phenomenal wealth of information into our DNA.
Each cell contains 3 billion pairs
of bases, which if uncoiled would give a strand of about 2 metres of DNA. The total DNA in your trillions of cells would stretch beyond the edge of our solar system.
Have a look at the following 4 equations:
One famous, fun and very frustrating maths problems is this: using only basic mathematics, write all of the numbers from 1 to 100 using up to four 4s.
When we say "basic mathematics", you only need +, –, x, ÷ along with 4! = 24 and √4 = 2 to get most of the numbers, and a couple of more obscure signs to work out the toughest ones.
A bit of grey matter grunt and you can make all the numbers up to 30 with up to four 4s, without too much trouble. Give it a go.

|Venerable Thomas Belchiam
|Greenwich Franciscan Martyr of England
|3 August 1537, England
|Venerated in
|Roman Catholicism
Venerable Thomas Belchiam (1508-1537) was an English Franciscan who died in Newgate Prison in the reign of Henry VIII. He is a Catholic martyr, declared venerable by Pope Leo XIII.[1] The year of death is in question: the Victoria County History for Kent puts the events in 1534.[2]
He was a friar of the convent at Greenwich. He was imprisoned, with other Franciscans, for refusing to take the oath of the royal supremacy, and declaring the king to be a heretic. He wrote a sermon on the text, 'Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses' (Matt. xi. 8), in which he lashed the vices of the court and the avarice and inconstancy of the clergy. At the intercession of Thomas Wriothesley some of the friars were released. Belchiam was kept in Newgate, where he died of starvation on 3 August 1537. A copy of his sermon, found in the prison after his death, was brought to Henry VIII, who was affected by it, but had it burnt. Another copy was preserved by the friars, and Thomas Bourchier, writing in 1583, expressed a hope that it might be published; which apparently was never done.

TO: Head Wrestling Coaches and Conference Commissioners.
FROM: Mark Branch

Chuck Barbee
Secretary-Rules Editor, NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee.
SUBJECT: Call for Proposals.
The NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee is now accepting your rules change proposals to be considered for the rules survey and discussion at its annual meeting in April. The committee is interested in your ideas and concerns relative to playing rules you think need to be changed.
Please use the link on the central hub to record your proposal and rationale. This form must be fully completed in order for the proposal to be accepted. All proposals must be received by January 20, 2017.
If you have any questions about the proposal process, please contact Ashlee Ferguson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
12/13/2016The following scenarios have occurred at dual meets and tournaments during the first six weeks of the season. Some of the situations have been called correctly, and some have not. Please take a moment to review, and ask yourself, "did I know the correct ruling, and would I have made the proper call?" The correct answers and explanations will be posted Monday, December 19th.
In this posting I will look at a couple of scenarios related to Rule 2.9. Click here to read the full article.
The first few weeks of the season have gone by without many controversies, and issues. Let's take a quick review of the positives, and address areas of concern that we need to improve upon, moving forward.
Rule 5.9.2
Wrestlers have been doing a great job of staying on the mat in the neutral position, we have very few stoppages, and officials have been more consistent with making the proper call of "Action, Backing Out" or "Pushing Out". Officials, make certain you're signaling the call, and verbalizing which call you've made.
Officials, this being the second year of Rule 5.9.2, we need to continue to recognize traditional stalling in the neutral position, and in all areas of wrestling. I've seen improvement in the early season, and you've been warning the wrestler who is defensive or playing the edge, and doing a better job of awarding the wrestler who is being the aggressor and making the legitimate takedown attempts.
Areas to Improve Upon
5.6 – Flagrant Misconduct
The highest incidents of Flagrant calls come early in the season at Open Tournaments. Officials, these can be long days for everyone, yet it is imperative that we understand the severity of the Flagrant Misconduct call.
Remember, a Flagrant Misconduct call takes that wrestler out of their next event! If the call is warranted, make it, but we also need to do a better job of preventive officiating. Verbalize to the wrestlers that we're going to wrestle within the rules. Penalize for unsportsmanlike or for unnecessary roughness early. Set the tone, and take control of the bout. This will help diffuse situations before they become flagrant.
5.18 – Interlocking Fingers
Officials, when you see interlocking fingers, verbalize to the wrestlers to release the lock. If they fail to release the lock after 1-2 seconds of reaction time, call stalemate. After making the stalemate call, make it very clear to each wrestler that if you have to make another stoppage for interlocking fingers, one or both of them will be warned for staling. Following this sequence will help reduce the repeated use of interlocking fingers.
Officials and coaches, please email me with both the great things you see happening in our sport and with your concerns. Let's continue to work together to make the 2016-17 wrestling season our best ever!
Tim Shiels

Wrestling Secretary – Rules Editor
Officials and Coaches,
Please review this video clip that contains points of emphasis regarding neutral out of bounds stalling from a tie-up position. There is no audio with this clip.
Chuck Barbee
Secretary-Rules Editor
This is a reminder that your wrestlers have until (on or before) February 15 to reach or descend back to the lowest certified weight class, as determined by their individual weight-loss plan. (See Rule 8.3,3) There is no appeal for missing the February 15 deadline. The weight class as determined by their weight loss plan on that date is the lowest they can wrestle after February 15.
After February 15, If a wrestler weighs-in with an actual weight higher than their weight class as determined by the February 15 deadline, the wrestler will no longer be eligible for that weight class.
Example 1: Wrestler A has a Weight Loss Plan weight of 124.8 on February 15 which makes the wrestler eligible for 125. On February 18, the wrestler weighs-in with an actual weight of 126.00, the wrestler's new minimum weight class would be 133. They would not be able to descend back down to 125.
Example 2: Wrestler A has a Weight Loss Plan weight of 124.8 on February 15 which makes the wrestler eligible for 125. On February 18, the wrestler weighs-in with an actual weight of 125.2 for a dual meet, therefore NOT making weight for the 125 weight class. Since the wrestler stepped on the scale at the official weigh in, the weight of 125.2 MUST BE RECORDED IN THE OPC even though the wrestler missed weight and did not wrestle in the dual. The wrestler's new minimum weight class would be 133. They would not be able to descend back down to 125.
Please feel free to email or call Ron Beaschler at email@example.com or 567-674-5133 with any questions.
Officials and Coaches,

Coaches and Officials,
Please review the following link regarding a side headlock interpretation found in the rules book that is being stricken.Thanks,Chuck BarbeeSecretary-Rules Editor
This video presentation addresses important wrestling rules interpretations related to the folllowing areas: verbal and visual counts for the drop-down rule, neutral out of bounds stalling by pushing and neutral backing to the edge of the mat.In addition to watching this video, please make sure to re-watch the previous video presentation on neutral out of bounds stalling, as well as the original wrestling rules clinic, both of which can be found by clicking on the Center Mat Videos Tab. Lastly, interpretations in the written form can be reviewed by accessing the appropriate document on this site.Keep up the good work!Chuck BarbeeWrestling Secretary-Rules Editor
It's been an exciting and interesting past five weeks observing and evaluating officials. Coaches and wrestlers have made adjustments to a number of the new rules put forth for the 2015-16 season.
To the coaches: I can understand your frustration at times, yet you have demonstrated great patience. I appreciate our shared and universal belief that wrestlers need to make every effort to stay on the mat (Rule 5.9.2), and, that a 1 second hold when starting wrestlers on the mat is helping both wrestlers receive a fair start (Rule 2.1.3). Thank you!
To the officials: My appreciation and gratitude to those of you who have been consistently making the proper calls and adjustments (even when being criticized); continue to do so and keep up the good work! Additionally, I'd like to point out some trends I and many evaluators throughout the country have observed.
We need to address and improve on the following; understandably, when the season kicked-off on November 1st, officials had a lot of new rules to look for:
1. Making 1 of 3 calls when the wrestlers went out of bounds in the neutral position.
2. Holding for a 1-second or longer pause when starting wrestling on the mat.
3. Interlocking fingers.
4. The new 4-point near fall criteria.
In focusing on these new rules, in many cases we simply did not call stalling on the wrestler who consistently backed out, was defensive, or, award the aggressive wrestler who had made 3-4 unanswered quality takedown attempts, and not call stalling on his opponent. Make The Stall Call. This is clearly defined on page 52 of the Rule Book under 5.9: Stalling.
Let's also remember the intent of Rule 5.9.2 is for wrestlers to make every effort to stay on the mat. If you've warned a wrestler for stalling in the neutral position and that wrestler has clearly backed off the mat 10 seconds later, then Make The Stall Call. Award his opponent the 1 point for the second stalling call. I know that in previous years, we would almost never call a wrestler for 2 stall calls in a 10 second span. Yet, by rule, it is imperative the call is made when warranted.
Holding for a 1 Second or Longer Pause:
In the past 5 weeks, officials and wrestlers have made great strides in holding for 1 second or longer when starting wrestling on the mat. Officials, you've done an excellent job of getting yourself set and staying motionless. This has greatly reduced the number of false starts. However, later in tournaments and duals, the 1 second pause, and (in many cases) clearly calling the second set has become less frequent. Hold For 1 Second and make certain both "sets" are clearly announced.
Officials, thank you for your hard work. In working together, I know we will continue to make great strides.
Tim Shiels
National Coordinator of Officials
Officials and Coaches,Please review this rules reminder and points of emphasis document carefully; there are several very important points I want to clarify so that everyone is on the same page.
Thank you,Chuck BarbeeWrestling-Secretary-Rules Editor
The NCAA is initiating a pilot program to conduct background checks on officials for the NCAA championships in three sports (Divisions I, II and III field hockey, Division III women's volleyball and Divisions I, II and III wrestling) beginning with the 2015-16 championships. Background checks will be conducted for the dual purposes of student-athlete safety and the integrity of the NCAA championships.
Please click the link below to read the memorandum, and then click the link to consent to the background check:
NCAA Officials' Background Check Pilot Program Memorandum
Reading and understanding the NCAA wrestling rules book is critical for both referees and coaches alike. To date, each certified wrestling official and all NCAA Division I, II and III programs have at least one rules book in their possession. While I do admittedly maintain four or five copies of the hard copy rules book for my use, I bet most of you do not have that many copies laying around. In this electronic day and age however, it is very easy to utilize the online version of the 2015-16 and 2016-17 NCAA Wrestling Rules Book to search questions and issues that you might have in regards to wrestling rules. I have put together some instructional documents that will help you access the wrestling rules book on your computer, or smartphone. As you will see, the computer instructions are on a Windows PC and the smartphone instructions are on an Android device. Mac and iPhone users will use the same basic idea, but obviously the details will be different based on your computer or phone. Ultimately, I would like each referee and coach to understand that their rules book can be accessed even if you cannot locate your hard copy version.
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on kicking off another NCAA college wrestling season! While I'm afraid that I cannot discuss first-hand all of the successes and challenges of this opening weekend, I can report that I was very happy with the implementation of the new rules at the All-Star Classic. Without a doubt, we have some additional work to do in regards to educating and clarifying situational issues, but I have no doubt that in due time we will resolve these matters.
Coaches, I appreciate your feedback, and I encourage you to continue reviewing this website, and educating your athletes appropriately. Officials, your professionalism and desire to get this right is very much appreciated. The opening weeks of a rule change year can be somewhat trying; I encourage everyone to stay focused, and we will continue to move these new and existing rules forward together.
Take Care,
Chuck Barbee
