Mega Upgrade Alert!
AIl of the Geobop websites are getting their biggest makeover ever, an upgrade I've been working on for nine months.
10 Big Surprises
So what changes can you expect to see in the new geobop sites?
2. Uprgraded CSS
3. Uprgraded database queries (pdo)
These first three changes are technical. They will simply make Geobop more secure and should improve page appearance somewhat. They will also make it easier to make further improvements. That means Geobop will actually continue to improve at a faster rate.
You can't miss the other changes...
4. Mobile Device Support
you will now be able to explore the geobop family of websites on cell phones and other mobile devices!
Wanna quick test drive? Just resize your browser; make it as small as you can.
5. New URL Structure
Among the biggest changes is Geobop's URL format. this is what a geobop url used to look like:
and this is what the urls look like now:
In other words, everything is lower case, and underscores have been replaced by dashes. But don't worry about it; in most cases, you'll be automatically forwarded to the new URLs so fast you won't even notice it.
Some URL's have changed more significantly. In most cases, you will again be forwarded to the new address. In most other cases, you should be able to find the new page pretty easily.
6. Improved Organization & Navigation
You should find it a little easier to navigate between Geobop sites, sections and pages, due largely to improved organization and new features. In particular, note the site maps at the bottom of most Geobop pages.
7. New Features
You'll see a variety of new features here and there.
8. New Content
Unfortunately, the technical side of this upgrade left precious little time for working on new content. Nevertheless, I managed to get some research and writing done.
9. Appearance
I think you'll find the new Geobop sites at least a little more attractive. At the very least, you ought to appreciate my new, minimalist footers. the main geobop sites use the following design:
(From left to right, the icons represent Geobop, GeoWorld, GeoZoo, GeoSymbols, Politix and sealatin.)
10. Fixes
Naturally, I fixed everything that needed fixing. ;)
Bonus: The best is still ahead!
The new Geobop sites are better organized, which will make it easier to continue developing them. After I get this upgrade published, I'll be going back into content mode, putting more articles and pictures online. Yet another major upgrade may occur as early as summer if I decide to upgrade to WordPress, Drupal or another content management system.
Working on the current upgrade gave me a better sense of Geobop's Grand Vision, which includes two especially exciting new features that will be added to all the major Geobop sites. In addition, all the Geobop sites may be merged into a central encyclopedia, somewhat similar to Wikipedia but much nicer, even if it will always be smaller.
Summary of Current Upgrade Changes
Geobop – Home base for the Geobop family of websites is now www.geobop.com (not www.geobop.org), and it's more than a home page. Geobop now features a cool new 50 states reference, and it will soon have its very own encyclopedia!
GeoWorld – Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of work done on this site, but you'll still see a lot of improvements.
GeoZoo – The series of introductory series (nearly 200 articles) beginning here has been both expanded and generally improved, though there's still lots of work to be done. The Life section has been modified, making it much easier to add content. Look for much more information in the near future...
GeoSymbols – Most of the changes on this site are cosmetic, but a number of problems have also been fixed, and the Reference section has been improved.
Politix – This is probably the most improved Geobop site. In particular, note the new People section and a series of articles offering advice on studying and understanding poltics.
SeaLatin – The soap operas continue!
Adult Political Sites – Let's just say the revolution has just begun...
Viva la revolucion! -- David Blomstrom, WebRanger

Eureka! Timberline 4
Great motorcycle/car/canoe tent have had mine for…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $100 back in 1987
Great motorcycle/car/canoe tent have had mine for over 20 years. A few years back I got a Timberline 6. Don't like it nearly as well the extra height makes it much slower to set up.
- Simple
- Fast setup
- Great room for 2 or 3
I have had a Timberline 4 since 1987. Camped in all kinds of weather way wetter and colder than I would now. It always performed well. Just watch placement. Don't set up so wind is blowing in your fly.
It is a great all around work horse. It may not be the best at any one thing, but it does a lot well. Setup is easy and fast, 10 min or less.
I did get a Timberline 6 a few years back. Took the family out winter camping with it and discovered that the extra height makes getting dressed easier, but setup is a lot harder. Not as sturdy either, bent a pole the first time I set it up.
I would get the 4. The 2 is cramped; the 6 it not as rugged and just too big. I did not intend to sound like Goldilocks, but the 4 is just right.
Welcome to Trailspace, John. Thanks for sharing your Timberline review.

Great warm weather tent.
- Excellent air flow
- Weathertight
- Extra long for tall guys
- Ample rooom for two people and their gear
- Requires more setup time than simple dome tents, Window ties require extra effort and zippers lack pulls
Previous reviews have described many features of this tent but let me add a few extra observations. I have tent camped for over forty years in REI, Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, and Sierra Designs three-season tents and the Eureka! Timberline 4 is my favorite tent for car camping in hot summer weather here in Alabama. For some reason, the screen windows allow better unrestricted air flow that any other tent I have used. Yet, when the windows are zipped closed, the tent retains body heat about as well as other tents.
Earlier this month my wife and I went on a three-day trip to northern Wisconsin with a friend who had an older Timberline 4 with a front vestibule. During the trip we endured four hours of heavy rain and puddles accumulated in our campsite, especially under his tent. But it stayed remarkedly dry! Fortunately (or unfortunately) I am unable to comment about its strength in strong wind.
Setup takes a little longer than a simple dome tent but gets easier with practice. The large door on the end makes it easy for older guys like me to enter and exit. In fact, I prefer four-person tents with a large door and no vestibules because they have plenty of space to store our clothing and personal items and are easier to enter and exit than tents with vestibules.
My primary complaints with this tent were easily fixed. I modified the window ties to make loops and buttons that can be secured with one hand, I added zipper pulls, and I modified the side pull outs so I can stake them further away from the tent.
This is a very solid dependable choice for a car camping…
Source: received it as a personal gift
This is a very solid dependable choice for a car camping or in some cases backpacking tent. It's reasonably light at around 9 pounds, it is roomy for 3 people but not 4. It's strong enough in all but extreme wind and you will stay pretty dry.
- Simple to set up
- Roomy for 3 people
- Will last for years if halfway taken care of
- No vestibules so outside storage is zero
- The fly doesn't cover the tent all the way to the ground
- so some possible seepage around the extreme edges of the tent
- Probably not the best high wind tent, but not bad either
This is the classic A-frame nylon tent dating back to the '70s. It has changed very little and that's because it was that good in its design. Poles are aluminum, it's easy to set up even for one person.
I would say it is a fairly warm tent in cold weather, it lacks the roof vents that the dome tents have. This means the venting has to come through the back window and the front door. This can cause some minor condensation problems when you shut the 2 openings.
Since there is no vestibule in either the front nor back, you have less outside storage space. You will need a ground cloth to put under this tent (and I'd say all tents really).
The biggest problem this tent has (in my opinion) is that the fly does not reach the ground and leaves some exposure especially if the rain is wind driven. This means that even if you set up the tent perfectly you may have some water seep in around the edges of the tent. However it is very minor, just keep stuff that can't get wet away from the edges.
In the wind it would be smart to figure out the direction and put the front door of the tent facing into it so as to not have it hit the tent broadside. The A-frame design has this weakness. Than being said I survived camping in Guadalupe National Park a few years ago and we had 50 mph winds and the tent stayed up ...barely. I did leave the fly off that would have not survived nor would I have ever found it again! That being said I have purchased a dome tent for expected wind conditions (Eureka Mountain Pass 3xte).
You can use this tent for backpacking but it would not be my first choice for that. You would have to split it between at least 2 people, one person carries the poles, ground sheet and stakes...the other takes the tent and fly. More bulky than heavy.
Great for motorcycle camping under most conditions.

Price Paid: Not sure
Great for motorcycle camping under most conditions.
- Durable
- Dry
- Lots of room
- Did not stand up to high wind
- Large packed size.
I went through two of these traveling by motorcycle from Key West to British Columbia and many trips in between over a number of years. It was huge for one person and even with my young daughter it was still big. It was even comfortable with another adult.
I stayed dry when many around me were hanging out sleeping bags to dry. In well over 100,000 miles of motorcycle travel these tents only let me down twice. First was in a open field at Cheticamp during a thunderstorm. The pole broke and the tent came down. The next was at the Outer Banks pitched broadside to the wind. A tent peg loop on the fly tore. Neither event ended the trip.

Source: received it as a sample, freebie, or prize
Good tent, except in the rain. Always wanted a Timberline, finally got one, first use was in three days of continuous rain. The bottom door "draft tube" flap thing filled with water. There was not a way to open the door without water coming in the tent. I tried to get the annex vestibule but they stopped making them. :( Will still use it but only during nice weather.
- Classic style and color
- Quality materials and craftsmanship
- Door design
Update 6/14:
I was finally able to track down an annex fly vestibule. This is now my go-to tent in any weather.
I have the same tent and never had a rain issue with the the bottom of the door. I have used the same tent in the BWCA during a summer Tstorm and didn't have the leak
7 years ago
The leak described. I did however get the vestibule and if you can get your hands on one, do so because it's a great place to store shoes.

Design: Three season A-frame
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: Easy
Weight: About 8 lbs.
Price Paid: $149
Excellent tent! Just spent a rainy windy weekend and the tent performed flawlessly with no leaks or problems. Believe me, it got tested this past weekend.
I think it's a stretch calling it a 4 man but for the wife and I it's perfect. It is a bit heavy but I pack it on the back of a motorcycle so weight isn't a factor and I think its survivability is due to its heavier construction.
Have used this fortress for both canoe and car trips.
Design: 3 season
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Once spacial reasoning sets in, no prob.
Weight: 8# w/ supplemental vestibule and stakes.
Price Paid: $149 +
Have used this fortress for both canoe and car trips. The half star rating is for something that may be a plus in the north shirld or Alaska - The weave on the netting does not allow enough air through the tent in hot, windless weather. Sure does keep out the bugs. Room to sit in a rainstorm, and with only two of us it's spacious. Easy to set up. Although no match for the two-polers out there.
Did not get to see how it does in the rain but as…
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: very easy
Weight: 8 lbs (about 10 with a tarp to set it on)
Price Paid: $130
Did not get to see how it does in the rain but as for ease of putting it up and size I really like this tent. I took it on a 5-night trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Four guys, our sizes are 5'9", 5'11", and two at 6'0". All average build. We were not cramped at all. We did keep our gear outside though. You can put this tent up and take it down super fast. We put it up the first night at about midnight after driving 24 hours straight without a hitch. Excellent buy.

Design: three season
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: 2 guys 5 minutes with experience
We have used the Outfitter version (slightly heavier construction) for scouts for years and have never considered switching. We usually put 2 scouts in a timberline 4, or 3 if we have an odd number. Very rugged, standing up to years of use and abuse.

Design: three season freestanding dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: takes 10 min. though easy
Weight: 7.5

It is very heavy and it is not roomy, but is ok for only $100.

Design: three season-freestanding A frame
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: a chimp could do it
Weight: about 10lbs.
Price Paid: $150
My family has been using a this tent for about 15 years and it's still as good as the day I bought it. With a typical three trips a year this tent is all that and a dry night sleep in the worst weather. Weight is irrelevent as we canoe, and it is very roomy. Set up is super simple, and you don't have to use the pegs for those Canadian shield, granite ground, setups. My buddy owns two and I would not hesitate to buy another when the time comes.
Simple to set up, all time classic. My 24-year-old…
Design: A frame
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: Excellent
Weight: 9lbs?
Price Paid: 260 Can
Simple to set up, all time classic. My 24-year-old Timberline 4 is more watertight than my brand new Nomad 6.1! XT version with front and rear vestibules (window on front) makes it bombproof.
This tent is a hoss! if you want something that is…
Design: classic A-Frame
Sleeps: 6+
Ease of Setup: i can set it up by myself with the vestuble and guy outs and everything in less than 6 minutes, super simple and strong A-frame design, the joint tubes can be confusing in the dark (use your tikka)
Weight: mine with 10 steel stakes and the extra vestuble packs in at around 10-11 lbs
Price Paid: $180
This tent is a hoss! if you want something that is superhuge compared to the weight, tough as a tent could be, and weatherable enough for rain (heavy), snow (heavy) and heat and cold (lots) this is it. I bought the tent with the add on vestuble--yea I'm gonna get another one, it's huge, enough space for three packs and boots (with orgainization of course). I have taken this on a canoe trip where I slept six of my friends and myself in there (hint it's big).
The only problem I have ever had with this tent is it got really windy and the top pole snapped (guy it out if you're expecting wind, it will hold then). Very comfortable tent for multiperson backpacking or canoeing! Oh I almost forgot (NO CONDENSATION NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN IT!!!).
The Timberline series of tent is the most popular…
Design: Three season A-Frame tent
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: 2-5 minutes
Weight: 7lbs. 13oz.
Price Paid: $150
The Timberline series of tent is the most popular backpacking tent of all time for good reason. It gets very good ventilation, stays dry in driving rain and will last for years, even if you abuse it! The Stormshield fly keeps the rain out, but lets the condensation out. It does this by having a tight mesh on the A-frame and then covering it with the fly. The only negative thing I have to say is that the zipper gets stuck sometimes on the overlapping material. The material is there to keep out water though, so I'll take the minor inconvenience. Overall a great tent!
A great workhorse tent. I have had a two-person and…
A great workhorse tent. I have had a two-person and this four-person and never had any problems with either one. They keep you dry and are made well.
I've owned a 2 man timberline for over 8 years and…
Design: 3 Season (but used year round)
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: 2 minutes max
Weight: 6-8 lbs
Price Paid: cheap!
I've owned a 2 man timberline for over 8 years and simply love it. It's not the fanciest, not the lightest and definetly not the latest high-tech whizbang tent, but it's tough, durable and keeps me dry constantly.
My Boy Scout troop uses timberline 4 man tents and they seriously go thru hell on a regular basis. Boys are rough and careless.
The current tents are around 5 years old, and other than bent poles and broken shock cords due to carelessness, we've had no problems at all with them at all.
Two thumbs up!
This is my family tent for 3 season use. I don't use…
Design: 3 season
Sleeps: 4
Ease of Setup: Very easy. 5 minutes with practice
Weight: apprx 8
Price Paid: $149 Campmor
This is my family tent for 3 season use. I don't use it in winter or on glaciers as it has no vestibule. The timberline 4 is very roomy and comfotable. It sets up easily and tight. The rainfly has good coverage and is a no-brainer to put on. The materials and workmanship of this tried and true free standing A-frame tent are top notch. It comes in a very pleasant green/white color combo. It also comes in a 2 door model and my one door has a very large rear window for good ventilation. In a 50 knot wind it held up well and flapping nylon was minimal. If you are tired of tiny 40ft2 floor space and less tents, you will love the room in this one.
I hope Eureka doesn't ever cancel this tent. They have created some real losers but this is not one of them. The Timberline series tents rate with the best on the market and are priced well.

Our Story
Highland Ridge RV was formed in March of 2014 when Jayco purchased assets of Open Range RV, which had started manufacturing RVs in 2007. Highland Ridge RV is a subsidiary of Jayco and operates its own manufacturing facilities, service and warranty group, sales team, management and leadership teams. Highland Ridge RV is proud to be associated with a company that shares our same commitment to great quality, integrity, vision and values.

Highland Ridge set out to develop RVs that were more spacious on the inside and weighed less than the competition — they have done just that. More room and less weight have been one of the driving forces behind all of Highland Ridge RV's products. Innovation shares equal importance.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama pushed education Tuesday in a campaign trip to Ohio, saying Republican budget proposals would slash school funding by 20 percent.
Obama traveled to Ohio State University to make his point the day before classes were due to start.
"Your education is the single most important investment that you can make in your future," Obama told cheering students.
"The degree that you earn from this university is the surest path that you will have to a good job and to higher earnings. It's the best tool you'll have to achieve what is the core promise of this country -- the idea that if you work hard, your work will be rewarded."
Obama said the budget plan supported by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would cut government grant programs so deeply "that 1 million of those students who we have helped would no longer get a scholarship at all."
Obama said we cannot allow the economic hardship wrought by the recession prevent young Americans from getting an education.
"Think about all the discoveries, all the businesses, all the breakthroughs that we would not have made if we told every young person who has got the drive and the will and the grades to go to college, 'Tough luck, too bad, you're on your own,'" Obama said. "We've always made a commitment to put a good education within the reach of everybody who is willing to work for it. That's part of what makes us special. That's what keeps us at the forefront of business and science and technology and medicine."
Obama said 60 percent of new jobs in the next 10 years will require higher education, making it a necessity to make college affordable.
"So in a 21st century economy, a college education should be available for everybody -- not just the wealthy few," he said.
Before delivering his remarks, Obama stopped at Sloopy's Diner at the Ohio Union, where he glad-handed students and ordered a Reuben sandwich with potato chips and a piece of Buckeye Pie (peanut butter and chocolate filling with whipped cream).
As he left, students chanted "Fired up! Ready to go!" and he paused to take a group photo with three students pantomiming O-H-I-O -- Obama put his arms up for the I. Outside students cheered and chanted, "Yes we can."

There's been lots of bands that've been popping up around the public. This one in paticular is like the alternative rock/rap version of ICP with added figures in the group. Though I am not a fan of Insane Clown Posse or Hollywood Undead, lots of people are fanatics of their style and music. Drawing these masks should be simple and fun, considering the fact that the coloring would be much needed for your version to look similar. Get yourself some patience and the required tools for drawing in order to begin the process of the six differen maks. I'm not sure what the names of all of them are, so if you know, please leave a comment in the description! Anyways, I've gotta get going on more lessons for the day, there's one more left. Stay tuned for more awesomely fun tutorials soon and I'll get to sketching up your requests! Love and peace, folks!

Mr Rockfishy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 184 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
I'm looking for a funky edgy Logo for a start up Contemporary Christian Designer Clothing Company. We are an Kingdom Business (Supporting Charity works) who look to provide a people with alternate ethically sourced clothing with positive messages and thought provoking designs (and damn cool). Logo will need to be strong enough to hold its own and used on clothing, Embroided on caps/hats etc.
Rockfish Streetwear
Brand Name : RockfishStreetwear. Rockfish broken down stands for "Rock" Jesus is the Rock, AlsoRock being just a great word in the sense "Rock'n'Roll" " That Rocks" "Rock On" " Solid as a Rock". TheFish part is simply that the Christian symbol is a fish. Together I'm lookingto make it a symbol of a Solid Christian who Rocks, i.e. one who's contemporary,in touch with what's going on whilst being deeply rooted in their faith. NothingTOO Christian, churchy, happy clappy or Naff. Clothing will be thoughtprovoking yet not too in your face.
Company and market info: Rockfishis UK based Ethical Company,30% of profits to Charity (Currently project in Uganda housing, treating andeducating children affected by the civil war over there). Garments will befashion grade garments (Mostly Fairware) with contemporary designs in thefollowing styles: Tattoos, Strong Statements, gothic and or scrolly stuff mixedwith text, tribal, surfer, maybe some skater, biker, retro is a def. To branchin Kids and mature age clothing eventually. Items sold will be T-Shirts,Hoodies, Hats, caps, Jewelry from Uganda Project, Posters, Cards................
Target Audience is 15-35. So not too kiddy or overly mature.UK and Europe Market initially,eventually USA, Australia and South Africa.
I will need wining design in Adobe Illustrator, let me know if this is problem and we'll work something out.
- Logo couldbe play on Christian Fish symbol or something more like weird fish but in amore "Rocky way" I had a designer friend do a fossil like fish which I thoughtwas cool but when we tried to develop it we just couldn't get the end product.Logo needs to be quiet simple and be strong enough to become a brand in it'sown right. Open to use of colours but would prefer to keep to just 1 or 2colours. Rocky, solid, Strong, Funky, Cool, retro is ok, Rip Curl, and Quicksilver are good logos.Weird fish ok but possibly too complicated.
This was interesting but again a bit too complicated
Logo with or without text is fine, happy to see both. Extramarks go to those who can show how it can be used on Business card, letterhead.
Outside the box is fine, If you think you something but it'sdifferent to what I've brief, throw it in, no harm trying.
- No Cheesey ChristianNaff stuff. Examples of extreme Naff are
Good Lord, have mercy on them for they know not what they do!!!!!!!!!

Next week, Saints Row: The Third players will get the weirdest DLC for the game yet (and that's counting the gun that launches shark-attacks) with Genki Bowl VII.
The trailer above gives the gist, as crazy-killer-feline-human-thing Professor Genki takes his Running Man-style competitive/deadly reality show out into the real world. Among the various challenges:
Sail through the skies with Sad Panda Skyblazing. Fight through dark, shark-infested jungles in Angry Tiger's Apocalypse Genki. And crush your way to victory in Sexy Kitten Yarngasm. But don't forget to help Professor Genki maintain his excitement before any public appearances in Super Ethical PR Opportunity.
"Yarngasm?" "Shark-Infested Jungles?" Yep, this can only be Saints Row: The Third. (Read our review of the full game here.)
The DLC launches next Tuesday, January 17, for an as-yet unannounced price.

Brussels, 3 December 2010
Commission achieves EU-wide ban on ecstasy-like drug mephedrone
The EU's 27 Justice Ministers agreed today to ban a dangerous ecstasy-like drug that is still legal in 12 EU countries. The European Commission proposed on 20 October that governments act to stop the free spread of the drug "mephedrone" across Europe by submitting it to control measures (see IP/10/1355). Mephedrone is already illegal in 15 EU countries. It has been linked to at least 37 deaths in the UK and Ireland alone.
"It is good to see that EU governments are prepared to take swift action to ban this dangerous drug," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner. "This drug is sold over the internet, often behind innocent names like plant food or bath salts. Young people should not be fooled. These drugs are harmful. The EU has shown today that we can act quickly to stop this kind of drug from taking more lives."
The decision today bans the manufacturing and the marketing of mephedrone, submitting it to criminal sanctions all over Europe.
Two fatalities have been reported in the EU in which mephedrone appears to be the sole cause of death. There are at least another 37 deaths in the UK and Ireland alone in which mephedrone has been detected in post-mortem samples.
Mephedrone is a stimulant whose physical effects are comparable to those produced by ecstasy (MDMA) or cocaine. It is mostly sold as powder, but also as capsules or tablets, on the internet, from "head shops" and from street-level dealers.
A scientific risk assessment carried out by the Lisbon-based European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) showed that mephedrone can cause acute health problems and lead to dependency, while a few fatalities related to its use have been reported across Europe.
Mephedrone has no established medical value or other known legitimate purpose. It is a controlled substance in 15 EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the UK.
The Justice Ministers' decision follows a procedure for risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances set up by a Council Decision of 10 May 2005 (2005/387/JHA). The Council asked for this risk assessment on 26 May 2010.

Lose weight, look great, and save the planet while you're at it. This is, perhaps, the message communicated by the hundreds of people in over 70 cities worldwide who have participated in the World Naked Bike Ride each year since 2004. (For the record, this is the first I have heard of such an event. And most likely the first that any one of us here at Filters Fast has heard of it, because otherwise it would have already been on our blog.)
The WNBR invites people from all backgrounds and of any age, male or female, to join in a non-sexual, fun event that draws attention to the negative impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions on our environment – often the result of motor vehicle transportation. (Hence, the bike ride theme…). The dress code is "as bare as you dare," and the event encourages both body paint and bicycle decor as a means of creative self-expression. The WNBR is meant to raise awareness in an attention-grabbing, yet non-threatening way. Since the BP oil spill, many people are becoming more and more conscious of our dependence on oil and the environmental damage it may cause. Cutting down on our use of motor vehicles is just one way to lessen that dependence, and what better way to encourage that than to ride through public streets naked on a bicycle?
Want cleaner air? The World Naked Bike Ride just might be in a city near you.

The Harvard men's tennis team went through three Ivy League opponents on the way to the ECAC Team Championship this weekend. (ECAC Athletics)
HANOVER, N.H.- The Harvard men's tennis team recorded four singles victories on its way to the ECAC Team Championship, defeating the No. 6 seeded Brown Bears, 4-1. The No. 1 seeded Crimson improved to 10-1 on the year as it took down Ivy League rivals Yale, Dartmouth and Brown on the way to the tournament title.
The Bears got an early lift from their doubles teams, scoring the match's first point as they went 2-1 in doubles play. Sophomore Casey MacMaster and senior Alistair Felton defeated Soufiane Azargui and Brandon Burke, 8-6, but the teams of junior Andy Nguyen and freshman Denis Nguyen and sophomore Christo Schultz and freshman Alex Steinroeder fell to Brown duos of Tom Deighton and Michael Riechmann and Sam Fife and William Spector, respectively.
Harvard entered singles play, needing four singles points to secure the win and got just that. Jonathan Pearlman took down Burke in the No. 1 spot, 6-2, 6-3. Meanwhile Harvard got production from its No. 4 through No. 6 positions yet again, as Schultz defeated Spector, 6-3, 6-1, from the No. 4 position, freshman Henry Steer defeated Mike Hill, 6-1, 6-3, in the No. 5 spot and freshman Shaun Chaudhuri held down the No. 6 position taking the match against Fife, 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Harvard had a successful weekend throughout the tournament as it went 2-1 during doubles action and 10-3 in singles play.
The next time the Crimson will be back in action will be in several weeks when it travels to San Diego, Calif., to compete in the San Diego Tournament, scheduled for March 10-18.

I'm thrilled that you're visiting! You've taken the first step on your journey toward optimal health and wellness.
Laura Lagano Nutrition LLC is a nutrition counseling and communications practice that believes food and other lifestyle choices can dramatically alter health and wellness.
My core belief system concerns the interaction among health status, lifestyle, and genetics. The food you eat, the air you breathe, your personal relationships, how you exercise your body and mind interact with your genes to influence your health – positively or negatively.
Why Select Laura Lagano Nutrition?
- I am experienced. I've immersed myself in the world of food and nutrition since that fateful day sometime in the late '70s as part of kulcha (aka: culture) class at my Brooklyn high school when I set foot in the test kitchens of Good Housekeeping magazine. From that day forward, I knew that I wanted to devote my life to the field of food and nutrition.
- I have the only nutrition practitioner credential (Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist) permitted to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). This means that your insurance company may cover my services.
- I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist (RDN) who integrates my classical background in nutrition with cutting-edge training with the Institute of Functional Medicine. As I continue with this training, I am poised to be among a handful of RDNs world-wide to be certified as a Functional Medicine Practitioner.
- As a past spokesperson for the New Jersey Dietetic Association and with my nearly 30 years as an RDN, I am considered a nutrition expert. I have appeared on radio and television including The Food Network, Fox, CNN, and others and have been quoted in and written for numerous publications including The New York Times, Glamour, Cooking Light, Web MD, and more. My expertise becomes your advantage.
- I understand the unique needs of your special needs child and your family. Through nutrition and with other therapists, I healed my special needs daughter who had apraxia, a seizure disorder, and autism-like characteristics. This experience provides me with deep insight as both a parent and a healthcare professional.
- Last but not least, my graduate degree in Nutrition Education is from Columbia University, where I am a doctoral candidate in Nutrition & Health Education, and my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics is from SUNY Oneonta.
What to Expect
Here's what happens after you make an appointment to consult with me in my Nutrition in My Kitchen program.
- I will email you forms to complete that provide me with a overview of your health. Filling out the forms at your home in your time-frame, gives you the opportunity to provide more thoughtful answers.
- At your appointment in Hoboken, I will warmly welcome you into my parlor and kitchen where the atmosphere is relaxed and bathed in sunshine. Clients tell me time and time again that they LOVE my personal Nutrition in My Kitchen sessions.
- Because your nutrition counseling takes place in my kitchen, rather than a clinic or office, I will show you actual food that you can taste and enjoy. You have the opportunity to see first-hand the contents of my pantry and refrigerator and what I feed my family. My clients report that it's comforting to know that I practice what I preach!
- I will refer to your at-home completed assessment forms as a guideline for questions and conversation about your past and current health status, your challenges, and your goals.
- My view of your healthcare is holistic. I consider various aspects of your lifestyle and where you are on your personal journey toward optimal wellness.
- As a healthcare practitioner, I rely on a combination of scientific evidence and clinical experience to integrate mainstream nutrition with cutting-edge practices to provide you with the optimal plan for your optimal wellness.
- Think of me as Lagano, PI (aka: Private Investigator), ferreting out the root causes of your symptoms and dis-ease and creating your individualized Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Plan.
- As client & practitioner, we will work as a team and travel together on your journey toward optimal wellness. Along the way, I help you navigate through the roadblocks you encounter.
- Ultimately, I will empower you to become a player in your health instead of a spectator. As a client of mine, you will be inspired to take charge of your health, making mindful lifestyle decisions.
- To meet the needs of all clients, I also offer consults in Manhattan and using Skype video chat.

Stop dragging my heart around
Last night's 5-4 14 inning marathon sent us into conniption fits, especially when Aaron Hill flubbed the ninth inning game that would have sealed the deal.
In today's 12-11 extra inning loss to the Yanks, it was Matt Stairs getting called out on a close play at the plate that sent us into hysterics. We're actually pretty sure that he was out, but our fandom and wishful thinking had us convinced that he beat the tag.
We can only imagine how physically ill we'd be right now if this team were on the brink of a playoff spot and lost like that.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
The Return of the Gas Can: The Jays did a good job of hiding away the Gas Can for sixteen days, but Josh Towers managed to get out of the bullpen, see his shadow, give up the winning run, and then scamper back to the security of the clubhouse, where he can tell himself what an amazing control pitcher he is, and what a chump Tony Pena is.
Three more to the sick bay: We're wondering just who the hell the Jays are going to run out there in the final week, given that Shaun Marcum, Frank Thomas and Scott Downs all left the game with injuries today. We guess we're going to have to get used to the John-Ford Griffins and Joe Ingletts of the world for the next couple of series.

Matt Stairs was so freaking safe it wasn't funny. His thigh was on the plate before Posada touched his chest. Two extra inning games in under 24 hours is very maddening. And Sparrow (calling him gascan is too mean for me) pitched like he always does, almost good, but totally on the edge, and then sucky. His longer hair and beard were fun though, like he had been lost in the wilderness.

OK, granted Josh Towers is probably rightly not part of the our beloved birds long-term plans, but I really do feel he is made into a scape-goat too often. Yes his consecutive 8-1, 9-9 and 13-12 seasons gave us a glimmer of "Hey, he might not suck" but I really don't know what the Jays fan base expects from this guy.
He was pitching his 2nd inning in a month against the NYY ... yea, he gave up a run. Most guys would.
The most anyone was expecting from this guy this season was this: To be the 4th or 5th starter on a slightly above .500 team with a dangerous offense and patch-work rotation. (Not the reality of what happened, but I'd say this is what most expected at the start of the season). Having said that he is 5-10, has a 5.40 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 3.5 K:BB ratio and 1.5 HR/9. Is that really any different from Cleveland's (best record in baseball) fifth starter Cliff Lee at 5-8, 6.40 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 1.8 K:BB, 1.6 HR/9.
I know he's not the greatest pitcher out there, but he's met even the most optimistic expectation this year. Yes, he's had the inopportune bad game here and there but so have Jansen, Accardo and even Downs (ok, he only had one - Aug 6) and they've rightly been praised for how well they've done.
I'm not saying Towers is fantastic, but he's been a decent 5th starter when needed and probably could have done more out of the bullpen had he been asked to. I just wish he wasn't everyone's favourite whipping boy.
And he beaned ARod .. so that's cool too.

VP primer: Paul Ryan's Medicare plan
Meet the new addition to the Republican presidential ticket: Paul Ryan's Medicare plan.
It's made Ryan a hero on the right and a lightning rod for criticism from the left. And now that Mitt Romney has chosen Ryan to be his running mate, you'll be hearing about it nonstop until November.
Story Continued Below
Under Ryan's plan, the government would help seniors buy health insurance — rather than receive coverage straight from Medicare, as they do now.
And as much has been written already, there are a few surprises. For a guy who hates "Obamacare" so much, for example, Ryan doesn't throw it all out the window. And in the latest version, seniors can still choose traditional Medicare — with a catch.
Here are a few things you might not know about the plan:
Voucher v. premium support
Liberals say the Ryan plan replaces Medicare with a voucher system. But Ryan insists the proper term is "premium support." Is there a difference? Technically, yes. The idea is to turn Medicare into a program that subsidizes private insurance plans. A voucher would do that by sending the money to seniors, and they'd go out and buy the plan. With premium support, Medicare pays the money straight to the plan that the senior chooses.
So yes, there's a difference — but it's hairsplitty. What worries people about vouchers is the idea that the money will be limited, and it won't cover their costs. Will the payments be limited in premium support? Of course. That's how it saves money.
Competition among the new private plans is supposed to contain costs. But if that doesn't work, there's a Plan B. Medicare spending won't be able to grow more than the Gross Domestic Product plus 0.5 percent. That's pretty tight, but Obama himself has set the same goal.
It repeals "Obamacare," but keeps the savings
Ryan talks a lot about how his budget would get rid of Obama's health care law, especially the Independent Payment Advisory Board, which would recommend ways to cut Medicare costs. Ryan calls it the "rationing board."
But that doesn't mean Ryan tosses out the whole law. In fact, there's one part he keeps. Need a hint? It's the part Republicans campaigned against in 2010.
That's right — the Medicare cuts.
Ryan isn't shy about it. He just says the cuts — slower growth in payments to providers and the private Medicare Advantage plans — would be used only to extend the life of Medicare, not to finance the expensive new commitments in the president's health law, like subsidies to help people pay for private health insurance. The latest version of his budget says the plan "ensures that any potential savings in current law would go to shore up Medicare, not to pay for new entitlements."
It repeals "Obamacare" health exchanges — but it sets up its own
The health care law sets up new marketplaces for private health insurance, called health exchanges, in every state. (If the states don't build them, the feds will set them up.) Ryan's plan would get rid of the insurance exchanges and the subsidies that would help people shop in them.
But then it would set up its own health exchange — for Medicare. That's where private health plans and traditional Medicare would compete for seniors' business.
And the plans in the Medicare exchange would operate under two important rules that are also in the health care law: They'd have to accept any Medicare-eligible person who applies, even if they have pre-existing conditions, and they couldn't charge more for the seniors with the most serious health problems.
What's the difference? Ryan says it's OK to put seniors together in that kind of regulated marketplace, because they have more serious health care needs than the rest of the population.But everyone else should be able to have more coverage choices with fewer rules.

Ever since Clint Bryant startedthe Military Appreciation Night at Augusta State a quarter-century ago, the event has increasingly become a community celebration.
This season, 100 local Army recruits were sworn in Feb. 8 to the cheers of 3,200 fans during the men's basketball game at the university now known as Georgia Regents Augusta. During the halftime ceremony, the 1,000 current Army members in attendance recited the Soldier's Creed, delivering a commanding message of unyielding determination, loyalty and sense of mission. In Augusta, Ga., where nearby Fort Gordon is a local economic hub, celebrating the military is also a celebration of the accomplishments of neighbors and local sons and daughters.
That image is a snapshot of what Bryant, the school's athletics director, believes could soon be seen at Division II schools across the country. Bryant hosted a summit meeting between U.S. military and Division II leaders in December to discuss a possible partnership. Then, at the NCAA Convention, the Division II Management and Presidents councils approved a pilot program and formation of a task force to determine the initial steps the program could take.
Given his experiences with military partnerships, Bryant sees this latest project as a potentially defining moment in Division II's community engagement efforts.
"We want to be more than just a game," Bryant said. "We want to be more than just an event held on an installation. We want it to be a truly comprehensive engagement. I think this is the tip of the iceberg of an effort that could be meaningful for everyone to engage our military in a meaningful relationship with our colleges and universities."
Bryant, a member of Division II's 40th Anniversary Team, has built a reputation for that type of forward thinking during his work on Division II's Planning and Finance Committee and Management Council. His ideas are often strategic with an eye on the bigger picture.
And when Division II held its championships festivals near military installations in recent years, Bryant suggested that the division should partner with the local bases during the event. The idea caught the attention of administrators and gained significant momentum last summer during the Division II Management Council/SAAC Summit.
Smaller partnerships already exist on many campuses. Minnesota Duluth and Columbus State, for example, have each formed partnerships with Operation One Voice, a non-profit organization that supports the families of wounded and fallen special operation forces officers, by offering the use of their facilities and other support.
Bryant believes those partnerships are natural because of the shared values between the military and college athletics – virtues of leadership, loyalty, teamwork and honor that both institutions try to instill in young people. And because many veterans leave the service intending to use their GI Bill to get an education, he believes a partnership with college athletics can create a relationship that eventually guides those veterans through the next stage of their life.
"I'm just excited what this might mean in our community," Bryant said. "It's just something that's exceptional here, and it just makes sense for us to be partnering and collaborating. Because the same things that the military wants in their development of young soldiers are the exact same things that we're trying to develop with young student-athletes."
Those connections are so strong that Bryant believes a partnership could come in multiple areas. The task force must still determine the exact form of the partnership, but Bryant sees the potential for holding games on military bases and for college campuses to host triathlons and military club-sports events. He sees potential in pooling resources to address wellness issues and opportunities to develop leaders through shared examples. Events could be organized around the Wounded Warriors program, which assists injured service members, or for families of military personnel stationed abroad, Bryant said.
"Division II has shown again the ability to think outside the box and think outside of our comfort zones and truly think about what's important and make intercollegiate athletics about more than the competition," Bryant said. "I don't know where this thing is going to end up, but it just looks all positive to me."
