A total of four Whitman players, including team leaders Tim Mullin and Trevor Gamble, swept into the singles round of 16 Friday evening as the annual Pacific Northwest Small College Championships got underway in Walla Walla.
Mullin, last year's Player of the Year in the Northwest Conference, had a first-round bye and his second-round opponent failed to show. Mullin, a senior and the tournament's No. 3 seed, plays Willamette's Kaonoa Horcajo at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
Gamble, the No. 4 seed, advanced via a first-round bye and a 6-3, 6-3 victory of Puget Sound's Trent Neugebrauer in the second round. Gamble, a hard-hitting junior, faces one of his teammates, sophomore Sam Spiegel, at noon Saturday.
Spiegel posted a pair of victories on Friday. He downed Willamette's David Stiles 6-2, 6-2 and then shut out George Fox's Jeremy Johnson 6-0, 6-0.
A second Whitman sophomore, Ye-San Lin, also advanced to the round of 16. After taking a first-round bye, Lin raced past Puget Sound's Noah Trubo 6-0, 6-0. Lin plays at 11 a.m. Saturday againt Lewis-Clark State's Sasa Bausovac, the tournament's No. 7 seed.
Others advancing into the round of 16 were the Vinicius Vieira, the No. 1 seed, and Vanaka Gunawardhana, the No. 2 seed. Both of the top seeds play for Lewis-Clark State.
Five other Missionaries lost matches in the second round on Friday, including reshman Will Wyatt, who had a first-round bye, but then lost 6-0, 6-0 to the top-seeded Vieira.
Whitman senior Owen Bargreen, who also had a first-round bye, dropped a close 6-4, 7-5 decision to Luke Roloff, one of Pacific Lutheran's top players. Missionary freshman Brad Changstrom advanced with a first-round bye and then lost 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 to Puget Sound's Andy Loveless, the tournament's 9th seed.
Gaurav Garg, a Whitman sophomore, posted a 6-0, 6-1 first-round victory over Willamette's Matthew McManus. Garg then fell 6-1, 6-0 to Pacific Lutheran's Reid Wiggins, the No. 5 seed.
Evan Chiang, a Missionary junior, rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 opening-round victory over Charles Weathers of George Fox. In the second round, however, Chiang fell 6-2, 6-0 to Linfield's Derek Morrison, the tourney's No. 8 seed.
In addition to the winner's bracket, the men's portion of the tournament continues Saturday with the start of doubles play and a consolation bracket in singles.
The women's portion of the tournament, which includes 22 players, also got underway Friday. Only three members of the Whitman women's team are competing, however. The rest of the squad is competing this weekend in the Cougar Classic at Washington State University.
Beth Pearson, a freshman, was the only Missionary to play a match Friday. She lost in three sets (4-6, 6-2, 6-0) to Heidi Stagge of George Fox.
Two other Missionaries, sophomore Danielle Warner and freshman Lauren Berndt, advanced Friday with first-round byes.
Whitman's Tim Mullin knocked off one of his Northwest Conference rivals in three sets Saturday to advance to the Sunday semifinals of the annual Pacific Northwest Small College Championships in Walla Walla.
Mullin, the tournament's No. 3 seed in singles, scored a 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 decision over Pacific Lutheran's fifth-seeded Reid Wiggins in the quarterfinals. Earlier Saturday, Mullin roasted Willamette's Kaonoa Horcajo 6-1, 6-0.
Mullin faces top-seeded Vinicius Vieira of Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) in one of Sunday's semifinals. That match is slated to start at 10:30 a.m. on one of the Whitman courts.
Sunday's other semifinal pits LCSC's Vanaka Gunawardhana, the No. 2 seed, against Linfield's Derek Morrison, the No. 8 seed. Morrison knocked off Whitman's Trevor Gamble 6-3, 6-3 in one of Saturday's quarterfinal matches.
In Saturday's round of 16, Gamble rolled to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over one of his teammates, sophomore Sam Spiegel. Ye-San Lin, another Missionary sophomore, also lost in the quarterfinals, falling 6-2, 6-0 to LCSC's Sasa Bausovac.
In doubles competition Saturday, Mullin and Gamble won a pair of matches to advance to Sunday's semifinals. Seeded No. 2 in the doubles bracket, Mullin and Gamble scored an 8-1 victory early Saturday over LCSC's Aaron Bren and Levi Brown, and then won by the same margin in the quarterfinals over Whitman's Kenton Wong and Michael Won. In their first match Saturday, Wong and Won registered an 8-5 victory over Puget Sound's Noah Swanson and Noah Trubo.
Mullin and Gamble will play at 8 a.m. Sunday against LCSC's Joao Oliveira and Sasa Bausovac. The doubles title match is set for 9 a.m. Sunday.
In other doubles action on Saturday, Whitman sophomores Ye-San Lin and Gaurav Garg scored a 9-8 victory over Puget Sound's Andy Loveless and Matt Lovseth. Lin and Garg lost 8-0 in the next round, however, to Linfield's Derek Morrison and Darren Haworth, the tournament's fifth-seeded duo.
Whitman's Sam Spiegel and Evan Chiang won their first doubles match Saturday, defeating Greg Ishmael and David Stiles by an 8-5 count. Spiegel and Chiang fell 8-2 in the quarterfinals to LCSC's Vieira and Gundawardhana, the top-seeded team.
Brad Changstrom and Tyler Hass, two Missionary freshman, also opened Saturday with a victory, downing Willamette's Kaonoa Horcaio and Andrew Rodgers 9-7. Changstrom and Hass lost 8-1 in the quarterfinals to LCSC's Bausovac and Oliveira.
Whitman's Josh Niederman and Will Wyatt lost their first doubles match Saturday, falling 8-6 to Puget Sound's John Greves and Ryan O'Connor.
A consolation bracket in men's singles also got underway Saturday. Whitman's Brad Changstrom won two matches, beating teammate Tyler Hass 6-2, 6-1 and Puget Sound's Matt Lovseth 2-6, 6-1, 6-1. Changstrom plays a consolation semifinal match Sunday against Willamette's David Stiles.
In the women's portion of the tournament Saturday, Whitman's Brittany Sale opened with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Katie Metier of George Fox. Sale then lost to teammate Danielle Warner in three sets, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1. In the quarterfinals, Warner dropped a 6-0, 6-1 decision to Pacific Lutheran's Heidi Ruud, the top-seeded player in the women's bracket.
Whitman's Lauren Berndt also won her first match Saturday, beating fourth-seeded Jessica Bruck of Willamette by scores of 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Berndt lost in the quarterfinals to Pacific Lutheran's Monica Cafferty 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.
In women's doubles on Saturday, Berndt and Warner won their opened, scoring an 8-6 victory over Katie Metier and Heidi Stagge of George Fox. Berndt and Warner lost 9-7 in the quarterfinals to Kristin Miller and Stephanie Selid, also of George Fox.
Sale teamed with Beth Pearson as Whitman's only other doubles team. They dropped their first match Saturday, 8-3, to Willamette's Ashley Layton and Anna Simon.
Most of the Whitman women's tennis team competed Friday and Saturday in the Cougar Classic at Washington State University.
Whitman's Tim Mullin and Trevor Gamble played some strong tennis Sunday morning as the annual Pacific Northwest Small College Championships concluded a three-day run at the Bratton Tennis Center. Unfortunately for the two Missionaries, their best tennis wasn't quite enough to overcome the talented play of Lewis-Clark State College's top two players.
Mullin and Gamble got off to a strong start at 8 a.m. Sunday, posting an 8-3 pro-set victory over LCSC's No. 2 doubles team, Sasa Bausovac and Joao Oliveira, in a doubles semifinal match.
Shortly thereafter in the title match, Mullin and Gamble bolted to a 5-2 lead against LCSC's No. 1 doubles team, Vinicius Vieira (Brazil) and Vanaka Gunawardhana (Sri Lanka). The two Missionaries, in fact, had two break points as they attempted to extend their lead to 6-2. Vieira and Gunawardhana managed to ward off those break points, however, and rallied to claim an 8-6 victory.
"Tim and Trevor were really in the driver's seat for the first three-quarters of the match," Whitman coach Jeff Northam said. "And it's not like they played poorly after that. The other guys just elevated their level of play and took the match back."
"I couldn't be more pleased with the way Tim and Trevor played," Northam added. "That is the best I've seen them play as a doubles team."
Following doubles, Mullin squared off with Vieira in one of the singles semifinal matches. Vieira, who is ranked No. 6 nationally in the NAIA, scored a 6-3, 6-4 victory. "It was a very good match," Northam said. "Tim played well, but the other guy played better."
In Sunday morning's other singles semifinal, Gunawardhana rolled to a 6-2, 7-6 victory over Linfield's Derek Morrison. Vieira and Gunawardhana agreed to play the tournament's title match after they returned to the LCSC campus, Northam said. That match will probably be played on Monday.
In other results Sunday, Whitney Madison and Heidi Ruud of Pacific Lutheran claimed the women's doubles title with an 8-5 victory over Anne Robinson and Lisa Trefts of George Fox. Trefts beat Ruud for the singles title.
The results were mostly positive Friday as Whitman's Tim Mullin, Trevor Gamble and Owen Bargreen began play in the ITA Regional Tournament at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
Mullin, who is seeded No. 1 in the 128-slot singles draw, opened with a pair of easy victories. The Missionary senior rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Hube Sieve of Southwestern University (Georgetown, Texas) and scored a 6-2, 6-3 triumph over Trinity's Ross Wong.
Mullin and teammate Trevor Gamble, the No. 3 seed in the 64-team doubles bracket, also had little trouble in their first match, posting an 8-1 pro-set victory over a duo from Texas Lutheran (Seguin, Texas).
Gamble, a Missionary junior, notched a victory in his first singles match, winning 6-0, 6-0 over James Hill of the University of Dallas. In his second match, however, Gamble lost 6-4, 6-2 to Trinity's Nick Aalougis to fall from the singles competition.
Bargreen, a Whitman senior, dropped his first match, losing 7-5, 6-2 to Brad Grace of Hardin-Simmons University (Abilene, Texas). That moved Bargreen into the consolation bracket, where he cruised to a pair of victories, knocking off David Salazar of McMurry University (Abilene, Texas) 7-5, 6-2, before beating Matt Williams of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (Belton, Texas) 6-1, 6-1.
The tournament, which continues through Sunday, pits the best NCAA Div. III players from the Northwest Conference, American Southwest Conference, and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. The singles and doubles winners will advance to the ITA National Small College Championships in late October.
Whitman's Tim Mullin, Trevor Gamble and Owen Bargreen posted several more victories in singles and doubles Saturday as the ITA Regional Tournament continued at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. All three Missionaries will play at least one semifinal match Sunday.
Mullin, the No. 1 seed in the singles bracket, won two more matches Saturday in the championship singles bracket. Last year's Northwest Conference Player of the Year posted a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Trinity's Steve Schaefer and then ousted one of his NWC rivals, Linfield's Derek Morrison, in the quarterfinals by a 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) score.
Saturday's two victories advanced Mullin into a semifinal match at 8 a.m. Sunday.
While Mullin won in straight sets Saturday, neither victory came without some difficulty. Mullin first overcame an 0-4 first-set deficit against Schaefer and then staved off a set point to skip past Morrison. With Morrison up 5-4 and serving for the second set, Mullin rallied to force and then win the tie-breaker.
Mullin faces Trinity's Sean Fifield at 8 a.m. Sunday in one of the semifinals. Fifield is the tournament's No. 6 seed in singles.
"Tim has a great shot to move into the finals, but it won't be easy," Whitman coach Jeff Northam said. "It's been very hot here, and Tim has been playing both singles and doubles. He'll also playing one of the Trinity guys on his home court."
After winning his two singles matches Saturday, Mullin teamed with Gamble to win two more matches in doubles. The two Missionaries started with an 8-3 victory over Cade Parker and Jarad Richards, a team from Howard Payne University (Brownwood, Texas). Next, they dominated Trinity's Stefan Parker and Chad Waryas by an 8-1 count.
"That was a very good Trinity team that Tim and Trevor beat," Northam said. "By that point, Tim was just dead tired, and it was great to see Trevor take over the match. Trevor was definitely the force that won that match. He was disappointed with his second-round loss in singles yesterday, but he bounced back in a big way today in doubles."
Mullin and Gamble, the tournament's No. 3 doubles seed, play in one of Sunday's semfinals against some familiar foes -- Reid Wiggins and Justin Ochsner of Pacific Lutheran. Wiggins and Ochsner are the No. 2 seeds in doubles.
Sunday's final matches in doubles will follow completion of the singles portion of the tournament.
Bargreen, who fell into the singles consolation bracket after losing his first match on Friday, also collected two more victories Saturday. Bargreen started with a 6-1, 6-2 over Howard Payne's Cory Wilcox and then scored a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Brian Lake of Schreiner University (Kerrville, Texas).
Bargreen will play a consolation bracket semifinal match at 8 a.m. Sunday. His opponent will be John Roaten of Hardin-Simmons.
"So far, this has been a great, great showing by our guys," Northam said. "As a coach, I couldn't be more pleased and proud of all three of them."
The San Antonio tournament, one of several regional tournaments taking place around the country, pits the best NCAA Div. III players from the Northwest Conference, American Southwest Conference, and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. The singles and doubles winners will advance to the ITA National Small College Championships in late October.
Two days of success turned a bit sour on Sunday as a talented trio of Whitman players lost matches on the final day of ITA Regional Tournament hosted by Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
In a match that started at 8 a.m. and lasted nearly three hours, Whitman's Tim Mullin watched four match points slip away in losing a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 decision to Trinity's Sean Fifield in the semifinals of the championship singles bracket.
Mullin, the tournaments No. 1 seed, started slowly in the third set, falling behind 3-1 before winning four straight games for a 5-3 lead. Fifield then held serve, staving off two match points, to close within 5-4.
With Mullin serving for the match, Fifield brushed aside two more match points and won the game to even the score at 5-5, clearing the way for his eventual victory. In saving one match point against Mullin's serve, however, Fifield stirred some controversy.
"Tim stepped up and hit what looked like a clear winner on one of those match points," Whitman coach Jeff Northam said. �It looked like a winner from where I was sitting in the stands, but the other guy called it out. Others around me also thought the ball was in, but we were a ways from the court, so it's really hard to say. And the match had been very fair and sportsmanlike up to that point."
Apart from the one controversial call, Northam said, "It was one of the best college tennis matches I have ever seen. The Trinity coach, who also has coached at the Division I level, said the same thing."
After starting slowly, losing the first four games of the match, "Tim played a beautiful match, and was the one who pretty much directed the play," Northam added. "He was really crushing some of his shots, but the other guy is more of a counter-puncher and was able to return a lot of what Tim was hitting. There weren't very many errors. It was almost a professional-level match."
New experimental tennis balls, about 15 percent larger than the standard model, were used during the tournament, and that point tended to work against Mullin and Whitman's other two entries, Trevor Gamble and Owen Bargreen, Northam said. "Had they been using the smaller balls, I don't think Fifield would have returned as many of Tim's shots. It doesn't help the big hitters like Trevor."
Shortly after his marathon singles match Sunday morning, Mullin joined forces with Gamble for a semifinal in the championship doubles bracket. The Missionary duo was no match, however, for PLU's Reid Wiggins and Justin Ochsner, losing an 8-3 pro-set decision.
"This was a brutal week, especially for Tim, who was playing his 11th match in three days," Northam said. "That was a big letdown after the singles semifinal. Tim's heart was still there for doubles but his legs weren't. I don't want to take anything away from the PLU team, though. That is a very, very good doubles team."
Wiggins and Ochsner entered the tourney as the No. 2 doubles seed. Mullin and Gamble were seeded No. 3.
Whitman senior Owen Bargreen, who lost his first singles match Friday, fought his way back through the consolation bracket and played Sunday for the consolation title. "Owen's elbow was pretty well gone, and he defaulted after falling behind 6-1, 3-0," Northam said. "It was still a great three days for Owen."
Bargreen had expected to play a consolation semifinal match early Sunday. His opponent withdrew from the tournament, however, sending Bargreen into the final.
The tournament pitted the best players from Whitman's Northwest Conference and two conferences with 26 schools in the Southwest U.S.
Lewis-Clark State, ranked No. 11 nationally in the NAIA, had to work hard to notch a 5-2 victory over Whitman Friday afternoon in the Bratton Tennis Center. It was the first dual match of the season for both schools.
The Missionaries got off to a quick start, winning two of three matches in doubles to snatch the one team point available there. Whitman Tim Mullin and Trevor Gamble slipped past Vinicius Vieira and Sasa Bausovac 9-7 in the No. 1 doubles match, and Missionaries Rick Smith and Brad Changstrom were 8-5 winners in the No. 3 match.
Owen Bargreen and Sam Spiegel also put up a good fight in No. 2 doubles before losing 8-6 to LCSC's Aaron Bren and Jan Solcani.
The visiting Warriors won five of six matches in singles to erase Whitman's early lead. Gamble, the only winner for the Missionaries, rallied for a big 0-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 victory over Vieira in No. 2 singles. Vieira, a senior from Joao Monlevade, Brazil, begins the spring season ranked No. 3 nationally in the NAIA.
Mullin, a senior, started strongly in his No. 1 singles match, outlasting Jan Solcani in a 13-11 tie-breaker to win the first set 7-6. But Solcani, a junior from Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, rallied to win the next two sets by 6-2 scores to take the match. Solcani, who was 17-7 in singles play for the Warriors last season, holds down the No. 25 spot in the early NAIA national rankings.
Sasa Bausovac, a junior from Zagreb, Croatia, downed Whitman senior Owen Bargreen 6-3, 6-3 in No. 3 singles. Sam Spiegel, a Missionary sophomore, fell 6-4, 7-5 in No. 4 singles to Joao Oliveira, a junior from Uberaba, Brazil.
Two more Brazilian athletes, Daniel Bahia and Guilherme Martins, scored 6-1, 7-5 victories over Whitman's Rick Smith, a senior, and Brad Changstrom, a freshman.
In a match played Friday night in the Bratton Tennis Center, the Linfield men's squad won four of six singles matches to score a 4-3 victory over Pacific Lutheran. The Lutes picked up one of their team points by sweeping all three doubles matches.
Whitman plays Pacific Lutheran Saturday afternoon, following a morning match between Linfield and Lewis-Clark State. Whitman and Linfield then do battle at 10 a.m. Sunday.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Jan Solcani (LCSC) def. Tim Mullin: 6-7 (13-11), 6-2, 6-2:
DoublesNo. 1 -- Mullin-Gamble (Whitman) def. Vieira-Bausovac: 9-7
Winning the top two doubles matches by slim margins, the Pacific Lutheran men's tennis team squeaked past Whitman 4-3 Saturday afternoon in the Bratton Tennis Center.
Ranked No. 14 nationally in NCAA Div. III to begin the season, the Lutes took control early in Saturday's match, winning at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles by two-game margins.
At No. 1, Reid Wiggins and Justin Ochsner edged Whitman's Tim Mullin and Trevor Gamble by a 9-7 score. At No. 2, Missionaries Owen Bargreen and Sam Spiegel fell 8-6 to Peter Lunoe and Gabriel Svad. PLU made a clean sweep of the doubles when Luke Roloff and Mark Watson downed Whitman's Rick Smith and Brad Changstrom 8-3.
The two squads split the six singles matches. Whitman's Mullin was a 7-6, 7-6 victor over Wiggins in the No. 1 match, but Gamble lost the No. 2 match by the same score to PLU's Roloff. The tie-breakers in the Gamble-Roloff match were close, falling 7-5 in favor of Roloff in both cases.
Whitman's other two victories in singles came courtesy of Smith at No. 5 and Changstrom at No. 6. Changstrom, a freshman, posted a three-set victory over PLU junior Scott Nguy.
The match does not count in the Northwest Conference regular season standings. Whitman and PLU play again on March 2 in Tacoma, Wash., and that match is designated as the conference counter. The regular season standings, which will reflect one meeting between each of the conference schools, will be used for seeding purposes at the NWC Championship Tournament.
In Saturday's other match in the Bratton Tennis Center, Linfield lost 7-0 to NAIA powerhouse Lewis-Clark State College.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Tim Mullin (Whitman) def. Reid Wiggins: 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-1)
DoublesNo. 1 -- Ochsner-Wiggins (PLU) def. Mullin-Gamble: 9-7
One day after dropping a 4-3 decision to Pacific Lutheran, the Whitman men's tennis team ran into a Linfield buzz saw, falling 6-1 to the Wildcats on Sunday in the Bratton Tennis Center.
Tim Mullin salvaged Whitman's one team point by blitzing Alex Martin 6-0, 6-0 in No. 1 singles. Trevor Gamble won his first set in No. 2 singles, but Linfield's Derek Morrison rallied to win in three sets.
As was the case in Saturday's match with PLU, Sunday's outcome will not count in the Northwest Conference regular season standings. Whitman plays Linfield again on April 7 in McMinnville, Ore., and it's that match that will count in the NWC standings.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Tim Mullin (Whitman) def. Alex Martin: 6-0, 6-0
DoublesNo. 1 -- Martin-Layman (Linfield) def. Mullin-Gamble: 8-3
Bouncing back after losing the doubles point, Emory University swept the six singles matches to post a 6-1 victory over Trinity University Saturday morning to open the second annual NCAA Div. III National Indoor Championships.
Emory (Atlanta, Ga.), ranked No. 5 nationally to begin the spring season, picked up straight-set victories in the top three singles spots from a trio of freshmen -- Mark Odgers, Tyson Ramsey and Alex Jacobs. Rico Pagnonelli, a junior, clinched the win for Emory with a two-set win in No. 4 singles.
In No. 5 singles, Emory senior Tom Curran and Trinity freshman Michael Mabe split their first two sets. With the third set reduced to a tie-breaker because of time restrictions, Curran staved off two match points to notch a 13-11 triumph.
Ryan Scott and Sean Fifield gave Trinity (San Antonio, Texas) at 8-5 victory in No. 1 doubles. Mabe and Stefan Parker were 8-4 winners for Trinity in No. 3 doubles.
Emory, now 2-0 to start its season, plays a tournament semifinal match at 4 p.m. today against No. 2-ranked Gustavus Adolphus College.
Trinity, ranked No. 6 nationally, saw its early season record fall to 1-5. The Tigers play a tournament consolation match at 8 a.m. Sunday against the loser of today's opening round match between host Whitman College and California's University of Redlands.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Mark Odgers (Emory) def. Ryan Scott (Trinity): 6-4, 6-3
DoublesNo. 1 -- Scott-Fifield (Trinity) def. Odgers-Jacobs (Emory): 8-5
Despite losing decisions at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles, the University of Redlands worked its way past Whitman College 5-2 Saturday afternoon as the NCAA Div. III National Indoor Championships continued at the Bratton Tennis Center.
The opening round victory moves the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs into a semifinal match at 8 p.m. tonight against No. 3-ranked University of California-Santa Cruz. Whitman, the tournament host, plays a consolation match at 8 a.m. Sunday against Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas. Trinity lost a 6-1 decision to Emory University Saturday morning to open the tournament.
Redlands, now 4-0 to start its season, subdued Whitman by winning two of three in doubles and four of six in singles.
Whitman senior Tim Mullin, ranked No. 24 nationally in singles, rolled to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Rob Condiotty in the No. 1 singles match. He also teamed with junior Trevor Gamble for an 8-6 victory over Condiotty and Marco Bravo in the No. 1 doubles match.
Sophomore Sam Spiegel, who missed his doubles match while competing in a speech tournament Whitman is also hosting this weekend, was a winner for the Missionaries in No. 4 singles. Spiegel rallied past Jesse Medvene-Collins 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 10-7. Because of tournament time restrictions, any third set in singles goes to the player reaching 10 points, winning by two.
Brian Murphy scored a key victory for Redlands in No. 2 singles, coming back from a 4-6 loss to Gamble in the first set to take the next two sets 6-2, 10-3.
Bravo tallied a straight-set victory at No. 3 singles for Redlands, although he needed a first-set tie-breaker to get past Whitman's Owen Bargreen.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Tim Mullin (Whitman) def. Rob Condiotty (Redlands): 6-2, 6-2
DoublesNo. 1 -- Mullin/Gamble (Whitman) def. Condiotty-Bravo (Redlands): 8-6
With the match even at 3-3, senior Daryn Collins rallied for a three-set victory in No. 6 singles to give Gustavus Adolphus College a 4-3 triumph over Emory University Saturday evening in the semifinals of the NCAA Div. III National Indoor Championships.
Gustavus, ranked No. 2 nationally, meets No. 3 University of California-Santa Cruz at noon Sunday for the tournament title. UCSC won last year's title after slipping past Gustavus 4-3 in one of the semifinals.
Against Emory on Saturday, Gustavus swept the three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead. The top four singles matches were all close, with three of them going to an abbreviated third set. Because of tournament time restrictions, any third set in singles goes to the player first to score 10 points, winning by two.
The last singles match to finish was at No. 6, where Collins recovered from a first-set loss to win in three and give Gustavus the victory.
Emory, ranked No. 5 nationally to start the season, rolled over Trinity 6-1 earlier on Saturday. Emory plays Redlands at 4 p.m. Sunday for third and fourth place.

UCSC, the tournament's defending champion, plays Gustavus Adolphus College at noon Sunday. Gustavus squeaked past Emory University 4-3 in Saturday's other semifinal.
The Banana Slugs, ranked No. 3 nationally, relied on two freshmen and two sophomores to win the doubles point. Sophomores Brian Casey and Dave Johnson were 8-6 winners at No. 2, while freshmen Andrew Cohen and Bryce Parmelly won 8-3 at No. 3.
With the doubles point in hand, UCSC clinched the victory by sweeping the top three singles matches, although none of those points came easily. Senior Nick Cunningham needed a second-set tie-breaker to nail down his win in No. 1 singles. Brian Casey and junior Carlos Gonzalez claimed first-set tie-breakers en route to triumphs in the No. 2 and No. 3 matches.
Kevin Casey scored the fifth Banana Slug point with a two-set victory in No. 5 singles.
Redlands, ranked No. 4 to begin the season, got points at No. 4 singles from senior Jesse Medvene-Collins and at No. 6 from freshman Brian Manning. Playing one of the last singles matches to get underway, Manning did not close our his win until 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Rob Condiotty and Marco Bravo gave Redlands an 8-6 victory in the No. 1 doubles match.
Redlands, which downed Whitman 5-2 earlier on Saturday, plays Emory at 4 p.m. Sunday in a match for third and fourth place.

Mullin, ranked No. 24 nationally in singles, won the first set 6-0 and was trailing 1-2 in the second when Trinity's Ryan Scott aggravated a shoulder injury and retired.
In No. 3 singles, Trinity's Jordan Taillon outlasted Whitman's Owen Bargreen 14-12 in an abbreviated third set to claim that victory.
Trinity won two of three doubles matches. Bargreen teamed with Sam Spiegel for an 8-4 Whitman victory at No. 2 over Taillon and Chay Waryas. Spiegel then missed his singles match because he is also competing in a speech tournament Whitman is hosting.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Tim Mullin (Whitman) def. Ryan Scott (Trinity): 6-0, 1-2 ret.
DoublesNo. 1 -- Scott-Fifield (Trinity) def. Mullin-Gamble (Whitman): 8-1
One year after losing a 4-3 semifinal to the University of California-Santa Cruz in the first-ever NCAA Div. III National Tennis Championships, Gustavus Adolphus College exacted its revenge on Sunday afternoon, edging the Banana Slugs 4-3 to win this year's championship.
Gustavus, ranked No. 2 to begin the spring season, swept Sunday's three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead in the team scoring. The Gusties then split the six singles matches to dethrone UCSC, which won last year's indoor title at Whitman's Bratton Tennis Center with a 4-0 shutout of Emory University.
With Gustavus leading Sunday's match 3-2, senior Josh Heiden closed out a two-set victory in No. 5 singles to clinch the victory for the Gusties. The only match still in progress was No. 6, which UCSC's Andrew Cohen eventually won in three sets.
SinglesNo. 1 -- Nick Cunningham (UCSC) def. Eric Butorac (Gustavus Adolphus): 6-4, 7-5

One day after hosting the NCAA Div. III National Indoor Tennis Championships, the Whitman men's tennis team crunched the University of Calgary 6-1 in a Monday afternoon match in the Bratton Tennis Center. Because Calgary is a Canadian school that plays most of its schedule against Canadian opponents, the outcome of Monday's match doesn't count on Whitman's NCAA won- loss record.
Matthew Barnfather salvaged Calgary's only point at No. 1 singles, outlasting Whitman's Tim Mullin 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
Winning the other singles matches for Whitman, without losing a set, were Trevor Gamble, Owen Bargreen, Sam Spiegel, Rick Smith and Brad Changstrom.
The Missionaries also won the three doubles matches.

Three close matches in singles all fell in favor of Pacific Lutheran as the Lutes knocked off Whitman Friday evening in the semifinals of the Northwest Conference championships in Yakima, Wash.
Pacific Lutheran moved in front 1-0 by winning two of three matches in doubles. The Lutes then clinched the victory by winning the first three singles matches to be decided.
With an insurmountable 4-0 lead, the two teams elected not to finish the three singles matches still in progress. Whitman was leading in one of those matches. The other two were even.
"It was a close, very competitive match all the way around," Whitman coach Jeff Northam said. "It was a good battle. Even though we lost, it was fun watching our guys work and compete as hard as they did."
Pacific Lutheran's victories in singles did not come easily. Two of the matches went to three sets. The third match-up was settled in two sets, although the second set finished on a tie-breaker.
Gabriel Svad, a PLU junior from Sweden, scored a somewhat surprising victory over Whitman's Tim Mullin in the No. 1 singles match. The two players split the first two matches before Svad nailed down a third-set victory. It was Mullin's first singles loss to an NWC opponent since April of 2000.
"Svad is a very good, talented player," Northam said. "It was a great match to watch."
Friday's match started in pleasant weather conditions that eventually deterioated with winds gusting to 40 miles per hour, Northam said. "It wasn't the kind of weather you want for the conference championships, but there's nothing you can do except play through it."
Whitman's Rick Smith, playing at No. 5 singles, also lost in three sets. Trevor Gamble nearly forced a third set in No. 2 singles, losing a 7-6 decision in the second set by virtue of an 7-5 tie-breaker.

Sam Spiegel was tied at 1-1 lead in the third set when his match at No. 4 was halted. Brad Changstrom and his opponent in No. 6 singles were even at one set each.
Mullin and Smith picked up Whitman's lone victory in doubles, taking the No. 2 match by an 8-5 score.

DoublesNo. 1 -- Loveless/Hartshorn (UPS) def. Gamble/Bargreen: 8-5
Whitman's Tim Mullin and Trevor Gamble were among the six Northwest Conference players who won opening round matches Friday in the NCAA Div. III West Region portion of the 102nd annual Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament.
Friday's second round was less than kind, however, as Mullin, Gamble and three other NWC players lost matches to fall from the tournament. Linfield's Darren Haworth was the only NWC player who won in the second round to advance to Saturday's quarterfinals.
In the doubles portion of the tournament, Gamble teamed with Owen Bargreen to win their opening match Friday afternoon. The Whitman duo knocked off Pacific Lutheran's Reid Wiggins and Justin Ochsner in three sets, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.
Bargreen and Gamble play a quarterfinal match at 2 p.m. Saturday. Their opponents will be Rob Condiotty and Brian Murphy of the University of Redlands. The winners will advance to Sunday's semifinals.
Mullin lost his second-round singles match on Friday to Kevin Casey of the University of California-Santa Cruz. The scores were 7-6, 6-0.
Gamble's second-round loss came at the hands of Garrett Lee of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. The scores were 6-2, 6-3.
Earlier Friday, Mullin and Gamble sat through a four-hour rain delay before winning in the first round. Mullin posted a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Ali Kermani, who plays No. 1 singles for Chapman University. Gamble, whose match had an earlier start time, was trailing 2-4 in the first set against Damon Morris of the University of Redlands when the rain delay came. Gamble recouped during the break in action and eventually rolled to a 7-5, 7-5 victory.
Whitman's Owen Bargreen and Trevor Gamble knocked off one of the West Region's top-ranked doubles teams in Friday's opening round, but the Missionary duo was unable to pull off another big win in Saturday's quarterfinals of the Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament.
Bargreen and Gamble, who began playing as a doubles team late this season, lost Saturday to Rob Condiotty and Brian Murphy of the University of Redlands. The scores were 6-2, 6-3.
Condiotty and Murphy, ranked No. 6 regionally in NCAA Div. III, advanced to Sunday's semifinals.
Friday afternoon, Bargreen and Gamble took a three-set decision from Pacific Lutheran's Reid Wiggins and Justin Ochsner, ranked No. 8 in doubles in the West Region.
Poor weather and an unlucky draw landed a one-two punch on Whitman's Tim Mullin in Monday's opening round of the NCAA Div. III National Singles Championships.
Emory University's Mark Odgers, the No. 3 seed in the singles tournament, handed Mullin a 6-2, 6-2 setback in a match that was moved from the host site -- the University of California, Santa Cruz -- to Pleasanton, Calif., because of rain and fog.
Odgers, a freshman from Gauteng, South Africa, tuned up for the singles portion of the national tournament by playing in the team championships, which ran Friday through Sunday at UC-Santa Cruz. Odgers plays No. 1 singles for Emory, which advanced to the title match before losing a close 4-3 decision to defending champion Williams College.
Odgers, the top-ranked singles player in South Atlantic Division, enjoyed a number of big victories during the season. He knocked off Averett University's Vellu Antilla in late March at a time when Antilla was ranked No. 1 nationally in Division III. Odgers also racked up two victories this spring over Eric Butorac (Gustavus Adolphus), last year's national runner-up.
Monday's loss closed out a stellar career for Mullin, the two-time Northwest Conference Player of the Year. Mullin finished with 149 career victories (singles and doubles), a new school record.

This seems to be the year that we find out what heights the University of Iowa football program can soar to. Forget the respect, disrespect, closer wins than expected, easier wins than expected, and everything in between. Do you remember how you felt about Iowa football one year ago today? Let me refresh your memory. We had just lost on a game-winning field goal to The Zookers after tying the game late. That dropped Iowa to 5-4 with the 3rd-ranked, undefeated Nittany Lions coming to town. I haven't looked back through the posts from last year, but it wasn't good times. That game left this life-long loyal Hawk with a lot of questions. That game was also the last time Iowa lost.
The Tiger Slam, as I understand it, is winning all of the majors, but not in one season. I believe Tiger won the British Open and PGA Championship one season, then won the Masters and U.S. Open the next season, meaning that he held all 4 major championships at the same time, but not the same season. Iowa has pulled off the college football equivalent of the Tiger Slam: an undefeated 13-0 record over the last 365 (now 368) days, covering two seasons.
What a year it has been. The best year of my life. Let's reminisce for a second, shall we? Did you forget what happened after that ill-fated day in Champ-Bana? Of course, not. The Big Ten Network wouldn't let you, and, really, how many times have we seen Daniel Murray's "Euphoria" on this site? Then we got the ultimate preview of this season- though we really didn't know it at the time- against Purdue. That is, a home game that was waaaaaaaayyyyyyy closer and more nerve-wracking than it really needed to be. And, ah, the closing of the dome as only the Hawkeyes could do? Who could forget the month of Smelley Cock jokes?
Next came the summer of Jewel's in, Jewel's out, and all of the other preseason hand-wringing that we all so eagerly take part in, with only the promise of Kinnick and Melrose on Saturday in September to keep us slogging through the dog days.
Then... 2 blocked field goals against UNI or we lose? This season is going to suck. (As an aside, I have listened to all of the "lucky" stuff, and I have a theory: one blocked field goal is luck, a second from the same spot by the same kicker on the next play is knowing how to play football and using your God-given talent.) Next we proved without a shadow of a doubt who the class of the HAWKEYE state was. After taking it to a solid PAC-10 team, we go to Happy Valley, and for the second time in the last calendar year, defeat an undefeated, top 5 Penn St. team. Then 5 more rather routine, anti-climactic wins (I kid, I kid, just tired of typing and afraid I am letting my fingers run away with my brain.)
So 365 days, 13 wins, and all three rivalry trophies later we are sitting on the precipice of what could be the biggest season in the last 50 years for our beloved Black and Gold. I can't even begin to understand that, as fun as the last year has been, it could (and I stress COULD) get even better. I just have to say:
Thank you to the players, coaches, and everyone that has made this past year so enjoyable. We talk and talk and talk, but, ultimately, it is you who put in the blood, sweat, and tears that allow us to do so. To the players, specifically, I love you guys. You are the grittiest bunch of people that have put on the TigerHawk in a long time, and you are (mostly) a joy to watch.
Thank you to the staff and readers at BHGP. It has been funny, insightful, sometimes aggravating (I get it, we're fucked), but always interesting.
Here's to hoping the next 13 wins come in as rapid succession as the last 13 have. GO HAWKS!

Fishers, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/06/2012 -- The light shed and attention focused on utilizing exotic berry extracts and natural earthly compounds has skyrocketed over the past few years.
And 2012, that trend continued to spike as popular weight loss ingredients pure green coffee bean extract and diatomaceous earth have both gained noticeable contribution for being highly effective and safe for weight loss, energy, and systemic detoxification.
While there is always a winner when comparing two superior weight loss health supplements, the focus on the fat burning industry is huge and consumers are littered with literally thousands of different weight loss products to choose from without ample time, research, or personal due diligence put forth.
Up until now, there are few weight loss products that actually work and withstood the test of time.
One of the few proven weight loss products and made an immediate impact and sudden influence is the emergence of green coffee extract.
While the rise of green coffee bean extract's chlorogenic acid compound may have been fast rising, the opposite can be said of pure food grade diatomaceous earth supplements.
Known by some as, "an ancient treasure for modern health", these fossilized-algae diatoms are known for their superior ability and sensation to pull, scrub, and cleanse vital detoxification pathways and organs.
Diatomaceous Earth is considered the grass of the sea as nearly all aquatic life lives and feeds off of these microscopic algae (phytoplankton) life forms.
The brand new SilaLive Silica food grade diatomaceous earth supplement utilizes the naturally strong negative charge diatoms carry which safely attracts, binds, and removes cellular waste, blood debris and heavy metal toxins upon consumption.
Much like the effects of green coffee bean extract, diatomaceous earth works on multiple levels helping cleanse and detoxify the body's often overburdened and overworked elimination channels and pathways.
Green Coffee Bean Extract works on two main focus points, one being the fat burning sensation and the other being the blood-glucose regulation.
SilaLive, composed of living organic silica (orthosilicic acid) and enhanced diatomaceous earth, two of nature's most beneficial silica compounds, helps from a whole body health approach by activating and stimulating cellular activity and regeneration.
In a book titled Silica The Forgotten Nutrient, silica is described and labeled as being a critical component to nearly every internal body process and function…going on to say without silica, humans would not be able to function properly.
Diatomaceous earth (85% silica) is a natural substance composed of the exoskeletons of fossilized algae which also consider numerous trace mineral elements like calcium, magnesium, and iron, as well as a high concentration of silica dioxide, which is the type of silica the body can use for cleansing and removal of stagnated waste and metabolic by-products.
SilaLive can help the body naturally shed pounds in a variety of ways. First and foremost, one of the biggest reasons people do not see weight loss results is due to the accumulation of toxins in the digestive tract.
The liver is one of these organs affected by the build up of toxins, especially related to weight loss. The liver is responsible for metabolizing fat cells and without a healthy liver, fat loss cannot occur.
A toxin buildup in the liver will cause the liver to operate less efficiently than it normally would. This slows down the liver and as a result the body does not burn as many fat cells as it normally would.
Silalive helps to absorb the various toxins and waste material that has build up in the liver. By absorbing these toxins, Silalive claims to naturally enhance the functioning of the liver, which allows the liver to burn more fat, for a long period of time. According to Silalive, this can bring dramatic weight loss results.
Silalive also contains diatomaceous earth, which is known to have powerful appetite suppressing abilities. Studies have found that users of diatomaceous earth can experience a "significant reduction" in caloric intake compared to before taking diatomaceous earth.
It is believed that diatomaceous earth has a positive effect on the regulation of serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is a powerful brain chemical that regulates mood and appetite.
When serotonin levels are low, the body responds by increasing appetite and decreasing mood.
By replacing serotonin levels, diatomaceous earth may aid in managing mood and suppresses the craving for good, which is a major diet killer.
For many dieters and weight loss enthusiasts, combining the doctor approved, tv-show primetime spectacle green coffee extract with SilaLive Silica may have a double-fold positive effect.
SilaLive enhances the body's ability to kick start natural detoxification and cleansing mechanisms, allowing the release and burning of body fat, creating a natural "fat burning furnace" so to speak.
Green coffee extract enhances the production of energy in the body, which ensures the body does not crash. Essentially, pure green coffee bean extract supplies the body with the energy it needs to continue burning fat and shedding unwanted pounds.

In case you hadn't noticed, winter is still going on and a little rat named Phil totally sucks in my book. Because we all know that HE is the one to blame for all of this.
I feel better knowing I have something to blame.
Let's dive right in, shall we? I know I haven't given you a workout in awhile, but I have a pretty golden one for you to try. Yes, I've done it (I'm not just making YOU workout, because that's not cool). Yes, it's sweaty. Yes, it's fun (for those of you who think it's fun to get all sweaty indoors…).
Do it! Tell me when you do (you follow me on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, right?). Can't wait to see your glistening, smiling faces. (sorry I'm such a creeper!)
The Treats I made for you this week? Um, totally Olympic gold! Did I just say something is "gold" for the second time in one post? Thought so.
I love love LOVE the Olympics and having Olympic, snowy, themed treats is totally my fav. So, you have to try my -
Coconut Snowballs (which are gluten-free and adorable)
and my Powdered Sugar Donut Holes (which are also gluten-free and also adorable). You're welcome!

I find myself in a tough predicament with 'Steel Dawn.' A conundrum really. Shit, maybe even a pickle. You see, I have not actually "watched" this film. I had to force myself to even stomach fast-forwarding through the damn thing. But I'm a huge Patrick Swayze fan. Let me repeat that for all you haters:
I'm a huge Patrick Swayze fan.
From 'Roadhouse,' to 'Point Break,' to 'Red Dawn'... the man has given us gold. The fact that he's fighting pancreatic cancer right now is such a bummer to me. Because, as evidenced by roles in movies like 'Donnie Darko,' Swayze still has much to offer us. And it would be sad if we were robbed of his talents.
Unfortunately, it seems his talents didn't stretch to this 1987, 'Road Warrior' knock-off. And it is here that the predicament takes hold. For while I love Patrick Swayze films... I think I love 'Mad Max' movies even more. And whoever gave 'Steel Dawn' the greenlight, deserves to be dragged out into the street and shot in the face in front of his mail man.
Harsh? Maybe.
But 'Steel Dawn,' should not have been made Sure, there's no gasoline crisis. There's fast cars and highways. But there IS Patrick Swayze, dressed like a desert punk. He even has a dog, like Max did. And the bad guys, while not quite marauding gangs, resemble something out of a Scorpions video.
This is all I'll say about the film. I don't care to discuss the plot. But as is my duty here, let me at least discuss the suit-up scene.
Like most suit-up scenes, it comes at a pivotal point in the movie where Swayze's character, simply named "Nomad," has to go rescue some blonde chick with a frizzy hair-do. His suit-up primarily concerns the trademark belt latching and gloves being pulled on shots. Minor points for a decent sword twirl. Negative points for a badly framed pooch. And more lashes for just an overall flat suit-up. The score hints at triumph and derring-do. But it's just a faint whisper. There's no "moments" in this scene. It's just business as usual.
Luckily, it seems Swayze recovered from this mis-step in his career, by bouncing back a year later with the cinematic milestone that was 'Roadhouse.'
Damn, if only Dalton had a suit-up scene.

They have the patches, the vests and the bikes, but this is no motorcycle club, instead it's a non-profit organization dedicated to making child abuse victims feel safe.
Most of the time, this organization is contacted by state agencies, prosecutors or therapists to help child abuse victims.
They don't condone violence, but want abusers to know that child is part of their organization and they want the child to know they have their backs too.
They might look tough on the outside, but these motorcyclists have soft hearts. They're members of B.A.C.A. -- Bikers Against Child Abuse.
"The red on our patch is the blood the children shed," said Nytro, B.A.C.A's events coordinator.
B.A.C.A. is an international organization. The Maricopa County chapter has 70 volunteer members dedicated to empower victims of child abuse. Some of the members, like Nytro, are also victims of abuse.
"It's a personal thing for me. It's like trying to pay it forward. Something that didn't happen for me in my life," he said.
This group is made up of parents, grandparents, air traffic controllers and painters.
Members are assigned a child, giving them vests, motorcycle rides, a blanket of love. They support the victims in any way, sometimes that includes being in court for testimony.
"We sit in the courtroom, we let them know, look at us, don't look at the person who hurt you and it allows them to tell their story and that is the definition of empowerment," said B.A.C.A. president Rembrandt.
Nytro adds, "Taking them to court empowers them to get the convictions they deserve."
B.A.C.A. members will even camp outside a victim's home if they're afraid of a perpetrator.
B.A.C.A. was founded by a Utah social workers as a way to help children heal.
Organizers say children who feel safe and protected are more likely to tell the truth about their abuse because threats made by an abuser are offset by the presence of the protective bikers.
"We love to ride, but we just want to you know we have a reason to ride," said Nytro.
The non-profit organization has helped 80 children since July. It also pays for therapy for victims through private donations and the sale of vests and pins. They say 100 percent of the proceeds go to the victims.

Seahawks OLB Leroy Hill will miss several weeks after suffering an injury to his right Achilles tendon.
Deadline passes for Chargers WR Jackson to be traded
The deadline imposed for Chargers WR Vincent Jackson to be traded, which would have allowed him to reduce his suspension from six games to four, has passed with no deal consummated.
Seahawks' road woes continue
There are a ton of things different about the Seahawks this season under new head coach Pete Carroll, but one thing remains the same: Seattle still stinks on the road.
Orton's throws for over 300 yards as Broncos beat Seahawks
Kyle Orton threw for 307 yards and two TD passes and top draft pick Demaryius Thomas caught eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Denver Broncos' 31-14 rout of the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Seahawks could ill-afford Unger's injury
Already missing first-round OLT Russell Okung (out with a high ankle sprain), the Seahawks suffered another blow when previously rock-solid second-year ORG Max Unger suffered a season-ending toe injury in Week One.
Seahawks place starting ORG Unger on I.R.

Report: Seahawks to sign DT Siavii
A report on ESPNDallas.com says ex-Cowboys DT Junior Siavii will sign with the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks have completed their trade with Minnesota to acquire Harvin in exchange for a trio of draft picks. Seattle announced the finalization of the trade on Tuesday afternoon once the NFL's league year began. Harvin passed his physical and will be introduced at the team's facility later Tuesday.||||||| The 24-year-old Harvin will give second-year quarterback Russell Wilson a dynamic playmaker not yet at his peak and reunite him with former teammate Sidney Rice and former offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to trade the unhappy receiver to Seattle for a package that includes the Seahawks' first-round draft pick in April.||||||| Harvin was unhappy with his contract and his role in the Vikings' struggling passing offense. He missed the final six games last season with an ankle injury. He obviously is still among the NFL's most versatile players, but only if he's geeting the ball enough.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman can't say it enough: Percy Harvin will remain in Minnesota, and he's not going to discuss contracts in public. Six days after initially telling local reporters exactly that, Spielman came to the NFL's annual scouting combine and was asked to address the situation again. He hasn't budged.||||||| Spielman says he has no intent to deal the receiver he calls a "dynamic playmaker" and won't even take phone calls about it. He intends to keep all information about contract negotiations internal, too, as he describes. There has been speculation the Vikings might deal Harvin, whose contract is up after next season, or that Harvin may hold out to get a new, richer contract.
Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman says the team has "no intent" of trading Harvin.||||||| Spielman refused Friday to comment specifically on contracts. He said team officials, as always, will meet next week at the NFL scouting combine with the agents for every player. He declined to address the possibility of negotiating a new deal for Harvin. Harvin will enter the final year of his contract in 2013.
Minnesota general manager Rick Spielman says the organization has no concerns about Harvin's character or attitude, with a pivotal offseason ahead for the wide receiver's future with the Vikings.||||||| Spielman told reporters Thursday the team has "no issues" with Harvin, that he "plays the game as hard, or harder, than anyone else in the NFL." Harvin is entering the final year of his rookie contract. His season ended after nine games because of a badly sprained left ankle. The Vikings placed him on injured reserve one month after he was hurt, and Harvin went home to Florida for his rehabilitation.

Scientific Focus:
Systems at the nanoscale are distinguished by both their material structures and their physics. The nanoscale is the intermediate length scale between systems of a few atoms and continuum systems. Nanoscale systems involve a number of atoms that is large enough so that a direct description of every atom is quite complex, but small enough that a continuum description is not valid. Second, the nanoscale is the scale at which quantum physics and classical physics intersect. Because of these characteristics, nanosystems are very complex and their descriptions are data-intensive. In addition, many degrees of freedom of nanosystems are difficult to observe and manipulate experimentally. For these reasons, mathematical and computational methods are expected to play a major role in nanoscience and nanoengineering. Mathematics and computation can provide effective theory and simulations for analysis and interpretation of experimental results, model-based prediction of nanoscale phenomena, and design and control of nanoscale systems. Computational methods, such as density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC), have already had major success in nanoscience, and there are still many opportunities for further involvement of mathematics and computation in nanoscience. Exploiting these opportunities will require collaboration between mathematical scientists and nanosystems researchers. Research at the nanoscale is naturally multi-disciplinary. Material sciences, life sciences and system sciences are all intimately involved in many of the current thrusts in nanoscale science. Mathematics also plays an important role in the interaction of these different disciplines, since they all use data, simulation and visualization. The new National Nanotechnology Initiative has highlighted the importance of nanoscale science and technology. This initiative is directed at accelerating the pace of research on the nanoscale in order to support its applications to electronics, medicine, and other fields. This initiative has spawned major new programs, such as the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Initiative at NSF and programs on spintronics, quantum computing and bio-computing at DARPA.

{By guest maven, Eva Darling}
Six years ago, I woke up with the same question that had been plaguing me for months: "Am I ever going to be happy again?"
I had recently split with my husband and I was dragging through life. I smiled and laughed sometimes, but I was not ever happy. I was a shell of a person, wondering always what the point of life was. Constantly asking, "is this all there is?"
The thing that was different about that morning six years ago was that I finally had an answer. "What will bring you joy, Eva? What do you want to do?" And my answer was one simple word: TRAVEL.
That was the day that the Vantasy was born. I began saving my money and my life choices all started to point in a single direction toward a new life of exploration in a van with my dog. I aimed my energy to that end. One year later, Ralgh the dog and I left Portland. You cannot imagine how amazing that felt!
And it did feel amazing, in spite of how terrible it felt. Planning for the trip was a string of scary events, blind steps, anxious moments, and full-on discomfort. I thought those would stop when I got in the van and left, but they didn't. The discomfort continued through the whole trip. And even though that was true, the Vantasy was the best thing I've ever done.
I grew, I saw, I depended on myself, I did things that I didn't think I could ever or WOULD ever do. I found out exactly what I was capable of and rose to the constant challenges and newness of my life.
And I discovered something: scary things are the secret sauce of life. Following our hearts, facing our fears and embracing adventure turns life from simple survival into a delicious treat.
So why don't we take more risks, try more new things, and go on more adventures? Because facing our fears is uncomfortable as hell.
We live in a culture of convenience. Not only is everything getting easier and easier for us, but we've come to demand convenience. We feel we are entitled to it. We feel we deserve avocados all year long. We want to dye our hair at three AM and expect Walgreens to not only be open, but to also have the exact color we want.
And we mostly get these things, these conveniences. We don't have to plan too far ahead, we don't have to sit with emotional discomfort. We have pharmaceuticals and booze and coffee to take care of that. We have grown to see discomfort as something that's bad, something that is to be avoided at all costs.
But what if discomfort is what we're missing in life? What if discomfort and adventure were prescribed, instead of Prozac, to cure depression? Contrary to the dominant message in our culture that everything should be convenient, discomfort is not a sign that you need to stop or fix anything. Discomfort is a sign that you are doing exactly what you should be doing. Discomfort is delicious!
Eva is a personal trainer, fitness instructor, and waitress in Portland, Oregon. She's always on a quest of some kind or another, has an unrealistic celebrity crush on Justin Timberlake, and doesn't sit down very often. Years after the finish of the Vantasy, she continues to make herself uncomfortable on the regular. Follow along with her adventures at Project 100 where she tries one hundred things she's never done before. Or get lost in tales about the Vantasy at vanta-c.blogspot.com.

I've followed the Syrian situation closely. In last year's economic summit, America approached Russia about joining to try to rid the world of Syria's chemical weapons. Russia was uninterested although the two countries, despite harsh public rhetoric, never completely cut off behind-the-scenes talks.
Then the Assad regime used its poison gas, killing 1,500 of its own people, over 400 of them children. Yes, lots of people have died in the Syrian civil war and yes, dead is dead, but this is a particularly horrific way to die. It's one most of the civilized world has agreed should never happen. By now, 178 nations have signed on to the chemical weapons treaty.
So, what was the world reaction when Assad gassed his people? A shrug of the shoulders. Except for our own president. He said the world should live up to its promises. And, of course, he's right. If all the accords and treaties the countries of the world sign with such fanfare are all just empty words, then we may as well tear them up and disband the United Nations.
Of course, Obama got almost no support. Russia and China voted no to action in the Security Council. Britain bailed. And worst of all, the U.S. Congress displayed what has become its normal gutless, flip-flopping posture. The same senators who were crucifying the president a few weeks ago for not taking stronger measures, such as instituting a no-fly zone, were now decrying him as a warmonger. When he finally agreed to let them have their vote, they were like, "what, you expect us to come back from our vacation early?" They didn't come back early and they didn't vote either. They did what they wanted to do all along, which was criticize without actually having to be involved because, you know, uh, what if it turns out wrong?

Cover the eye lightly to protect the eye from excess particles and see a doctor immediately. Do not flush the eye with any liquid; flushing may remove fluids that maintain the eye's structure and function. Do not try to remove an object stuck in the eye. You could make the damage to the eye much worse.
