Working out while on the road
So as I mentioned in my boff topic thread, I travel. A lot. I am, at the moment, in the middle of a three week long business trip/road trip across the country.
It's mega-fucking-sweet and I love it, but the one downside is that it makes getting to the gym on a regular basis not so easy.
Any recommendations for working out while traveling? Some hotels have weight rooms and such which can be exploited while I'm in them, but I mostly couchsurf while out in the world.
Ditto for nutrition. Eating out gets 'spensive as fuuuuck, and I end up eating way less than normal while I'm traveling.The fool thinks himself immortal,
If he hold back from battle;
But old age will grant him no truce,
Even if spears spare him.

Style: Aikido/JJJ/Judo/GoJu Ryu--
I'm right there with you bro. So far this year, since March, I've spent 60 nights in hotels. My biggest issue with staying healthy is eating. There's one location I go to that has a Whole Foods next door, and I eat their soup/salad bar a lot. Other than that, its hit or miss. Another issue is I'm usually traveling with peers, who are all about going out and drinking (which results in shitty food choice decisions)...so discipline is important. Obviously you know all that. On to the workouts....
By now, in the work areas I frequent, I know which hotels have legit gyms with free weights and/or useful machines. When I go to new places, and if I have an option of hotels, I call around to see what the gyms at each place or like.
Protip: some hotels that don't have gyms actually give you a voucher to go to a nearby real gym for free. It all depends if they have deals worked out. I used to go to a gym in north Chicago that gave out free vouchers to Bally's or something like that. Though I think I've only noticed one or two other places that did that.
YMCA can sometimes be an option. If you are with someone who is a member, or are a member of the military, they can sometimes sneak you in. Each YMCA runs itself its own way, so their local policies vary quite a bit. I've ran into some crappy YMCA's.
I have P90X on my computer and do that sometimes.
I always pack a jump rope and ab wheel...sometimes an imitation perfect pushup type set.
Gold's Gyms area also finicky about their guest policies. You can get in, but sometimes they charge you a little if you aren't from their branch. I was just in Miami where they gave my buddy a hard time with getting in for free because he is from an Austin Gold's. I was his guest and the first time I had to pay a full day fee (like $12 or so)...but the second time I went I got off with paying a reduced guest fee (like $4 or so).
Also whenever I arrive at a location, particularly one I've never been to before, I like to get the 'lay of the land' by putting a few miles in and getting some fam on the surrounding area...kind of serves a duel purpose.
When I was an FSE with Cardinal Health I did 270 nights in a hotel in one year. You might be able to pop into Community Judo centers for the week. A lot of hotels in particular ones that cater to business customers do have gyms and pools.
I think the hardest thing for me when traveling was always being in a different time zone so keeping to a schedule was a pain in the but. So the biggest bit of advise is to not worry about being in a ruitien and just be able to mix it up and do what ever is available where your going.

A group of Summerville educators hiked, biked, paddled and bushwhacked their way through a section of the Blue Ridge Mountains last month.
Oakbrook Middle School Principal Brion Rutherford, Beech Hill Elementary School teacher/coach Eric Seitz, Summerville High School administrator Preston Giet and SHS teacher/coach Joe Call are the members of the Trident Pain Center Adventure Racing Team that participates in a handful of adventure races each year. On July 19, the team won the 4 Person Male Division of the Odyssey Blue Ridge Bear Epic Adventure Race held in Buchanan, Va. With the win, the team qualified for the national championship adventure race to be held in Maryland in October.
Formerly known as the Blue Ridge One Day Adventure Race because teams compete for approximately 24 hours, the Bear Epic event requires participants to trek, bike and canoe through a course that covers approximately 90 miles. Participants have to use their navigation skills to reach as many checkpoints as they can and receive points for each checkpoint reached.
Team TPC team reached 20 of a possible 30 checkpoints to win its division.
This race is widely regarded as one of the top adventure races in the country, Rutherford said. It was pretty challenging, but it felt good when we were done. Finding checkpoints in the dark adds to the challenge so our basic strategy was to push hard to reach as many as we could before the sun went down and that paid off.
Obstacles between checkpoints for the race include sections of forest with heavy underbrush so participants have to determine if it would be faster to fight their way through such a section or trek on to take a less direct but easier route.
Part of the fun is seeing how many shortcuts you can find, Rutherford said. You want to push straight through whenever possible but if you see a group ahead of you struggling or think a section will tangle you up then it might be best to find another way.
The paddling section of the race includes approximately 15 miles of moving water in the Class 1 and Class 2 categories. Rutherford said that part of the race was a little harder than some of the canoeing his team has done at other events.
Weve paddled sections as long as that before, but for this race there was more continuous paddling, he said. There were only two stops and for half of the paddling we had our bike strapped to the canoe so balance was a problem.
To stay in shape for races, the team trains year round, typically two to three times a week. Sometimes they train separately due to their hectic schedules, but they like to get together whenever possible, especially for some of their longer training sessions.
The teamwork reminds us of when we were growing up and played on some of the same teams, Rutherford said. Thats mainly why we do it and you get a feeling of accomplishment when you complete a race. I cant run as fast as I used to but I can do this and it motivates me to stay in shape.
One of their more epic training days started with a five-mile run, transitioned into an hour in the weight room followed by another run and ended with a bike ride from Summerville to Sullivans Island. They took the back roads for the bike ride.
The members of Team TPC werent the only athletes from Summerville who participated in the Blue Ridge Bear Epic Adventure Race.
DuBose music teacher Mike Greer teamed up with A.J. Brumfiel to compete in the 2 Person Male Division and Summerville resident Jeff Cisar competed in the Solo Division.

Douthat vs. Kmiec continued
Personally, I'm less interested in anyone playing nice with one particular thinker than I am in the GOP recognizing that the Republican Party platform, and Republican party orthodoxy, hold extremist views on abortion that are hurting them with the moderate electorate. Now, I find this position entirely consistent with their rhetoric: if we really are having a Holocaust of the unborn, if every abortion really is murder, then an extreme response is necessary. But that's not the way most Americans seem to feel about abortion, which is that it's a profoundly sad but sometimes necessary practice that should be legal early on in the pregnancy and then more harshly restricted the closer to birth you go. I think it behooves reformers like Douthat to consider whether the extremist option on abortion is politically self-defeating, and if it would make more sense to pursue a compromise position-- particularly given the inability of Republican dominance to produce the kind of law on abortion they'd desire.

What kind of "compromise position" do you think would be possible, given that Roe explicitly makes any meaningful compromise effectively illegal? Ross has said explicitly - e.g. in his recent Bloggingheads - that he'd actually prefer a middle ground solution, with authority returned to the states and late-term abortions widely prohibited even if early-term ones and other special exceptions are allowed. But the fact is that this sort of position isn't realizable under the current law - and so long as liberals continue to malign anyone who wants to overturn Roe as an extremist, that's never going to change.

hold extremist views on abortion that are hurting them with the moderate electorate.
That's misleading. The Republicans purport to want to ban all abortions. Clearly the American people aren't there. The Democrats oppose any limitation on abortion (or abortion funding) that is ever proposed. The American people as a whole aren't there either. They're in the middle. And if you poll people on when and for what reason they would want to legalize abortion, it's clear that a strong majority of the American people would go for more restrictions than currently exist, or than are currently allowed under Roe. If enough Americans figure out that eliminating Roe doesn't equate to banning all abortion, they'll overwhelmingly agree with Republicans on that one.

I'm actually not advocating a compromise position. I just think that the Republicans should think about crafting one in response to the seeming unpopularity of a total abortion ban. I think you guys are being a little deceptive about the Republican party platform, and certainly about Republican orthodoxy-- which is for a total abortion ban. Which makes sense. You don't have a holocaust going on and then say "Well, let's have the states decide if this genocide is cool or not." The states rights issue has been a Trojan horse, a way to win short-term victories in the march towards widespread criminalization.
- November 10, 2008 at 12:05 PM
For your argument to really be taken seriously and as something other than whining about extremist conservatives and Republicans, you need to say why a policy's unpopularity dictates politicians rethinking it. Or put differently, why is anti-abortion different from other unpopular positions like gay marriage (which has been gaining in the polls but has yet to be validated at an election) or desegregation in about 1920 or anti-slavery in the 1840s that I suspect you would think worthwhile?
- November 10, 2008 at 12:39 PM

Except that I'm not arguing that Republicans should reconsider their stance on abortion out of principle. I'm just suggesting they might do so out of political necessity. You might have noticed that the GOP is in something of a downturn, one which might invite examining all of the sacred cows of conservatism. That doesn't mean you necessarily go in Kmiec's direction. It does mean that you don't write him out of the discussion entirely with a harsh screed.

- Dave Hunter said...
John, I agree that there isn't a compromise that the pro-life movement can make with the left right now. There's no reason for abortion rights advocates to compromise on anything, as we already have our platform guaranteed by the Constitution. What would the pro-life movement offer as incentive?
They might though, soon find themselves in the position of being forced to compromise with the rest of their coalition on the right.

Harvard's President & Leadership
Harvard's leadership is responsible for the strategic vision for the University.
President Drew Gilpin Faust leads Harvard, and is the 28th President of the University. President Faust is the Lincoln Professor of History in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
The Office of the Provost, led by Provost Alan M. Garber, fosters collaboration across the University and manages changes in policies and practices that affect the academic life of the university as a whole. The Schools are led by officers and deans, who are responsible for Harvard's academic programs and curricula.
Since its early days in the mid-seventeenth century, Harvard has had two governing boards: the President and Fellows of Harvard College (also known as the Corporation) and the Board of Overseers. Through their complementary efforts, the two boards perform the essential roles ordinarily associated with a board of trustees, while helping to shape the University's agenda, inquiring into the quality and progress of its activities, and assuring that Harvard remains true to its mission.
By charter, the Corporation exercises fiduciary responsibility with regard to the University's academic, financial, and physical resources and overall well-being. It consists of the President, the Treasurer, and other members known as Fellows. The Corporation is in the process of expanding from seven to thirteen members and elaborating its committee structure, in light of reforms adopted by the governing boards in December 2010. The Corporation engages with both questions of long-range strategy, policy, and planning as well as transactional matters of unusual consequence. It serves as a confidential sounding board for the President on matters of importance; meets with deans, vice presidents, and others from time to time to discuss a wide array of programs and plans; and is responsible for approving the University's budgets, major capital projects, endowment spending, tuition charges, and other matters.
The Board of Overseers is the larger of the two boards, comprising thirty elected members as well as the President and the Treasurer of the University, who serve ex officio. Members are elected to six-year terms by vote of Harvard degree holders. Drawing on the wide-ranging experience and expertise of its members, the Board exerts broad influence over the University's strategic directions, provides counsel to the University leadership on priorities and plans, and has the power of consent to certain actions of the Corporation. The Board's chief functions include superintendence of the visitation process, the principal mechanism for periodic external review of the quality and direction of the University's schools, departments, and selected other programs and activities. The Board carries out this responsibility largely through the operation of more than fifty visiting committees, whose work is overseen by and reported to the Board.

About Me Teacher
I use these to know where the kids are at all times, even for individual learning, groups out of classroom, etc. Each student has a name tag laminated and piece of magnet tape on back. Student places name tag under the header (bathroom, office, etc.). This allows teacher to know where students are at all times at a quick glance. Also helps guest teachers who may encounter that unscheduled fire drill. I would definitely recommend - great organizational tool!

Shineology juice shop set to open in Downtown ToledoWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
UPDATE: A one-day grand opening celebration was held July 7, but the shop won't officially open until health department inspections can be completed.
By Michelle Li, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
Downtown Toledo will soon be home to Shineology, an organic juice shop.
The shop, 130 10th St., opened July 7. Founder Ashima Rae said the shop's hours will be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"I'm really excited about being able to serve the public with the juice cleanses," she said. "I feel like raw food is an art form. It hit me, when I was starting to create this business, like, 'Oh — food is my art.' That's the way I create in the world … putting things together that most people wouldn't think would be [together]."
The juice that Shineology will offer is created through a cold-pressed process. Rae said heatless preparation preserves the ingredients' enzymes and nutrients — what she calls "living life force potential."
"All the food that we consume gets all its nutrients from the earth and its energy from the sunshine. When we consume that energy, we are consuming that light and we regenerate that light into, you know, our outer essence, basically," she said. "It's kind of like the alchemy of transforming the sunlight to your own inner light."
Her philosophy of live food creating a person's inner light inspired the name of her shop.
"I just envision this world full of shiny, happy people," she said. "Food is our medicine; food is the answer to how we shine in the world."
As someone who once claimed to be too busy for a healthy lifestyle, Rae said she intends to help individuals incorporate healthy eating into their lives by prioritizing customer convenience.
Rae said she chose her shop hours to accommodate early morning commuters, lunch breaks and post-work rushes. In addition to the in-store menu, customers will have the option to participate in any of several juice cleanse programs. Shineology will deliver the juice cleanses to the customer in three-day shipments to preserve freshness throughout the program's duration.
These programs are inspired by her own daily program she developed to deal with her personal struggles, Rae said.
"I was really really unhappy. I was angry a lot, and I had four kids. I was a single mom and I just wasn't enjoying life very much," she said. "So I started getting fascinated with healing your body and how to do that through food and detoxification."
Shineology will offer a space where individuals can relax and enrich their day aside from healthy juice drinks.
Rae said she felt compelled to return to her hometown to open Shineology — especially after previously owning Suite Vibrations Sound Healing Studio in the Davis Building.
"I feel like the Davis Building here is like a little jewel in Toledo with a really high vibration," she said. "When I left [Suite Vibrations], it was really sad. And although I've traveled a lot and been to many other places, I recently felt called to come back here."
Rae said she looks forward to supplementing the Davis Building atmosphere with her in-shop experience, providing seating as well as remaining stocked with books — both health-themed resource books as well as bestsellers.
"It's gonna be kind of like a little bookstore too, so people can come in and grab a healthy bite to eat and read or buy a book," she said.
Rae said the idea of opening Shineology resulted from years of following a passion for helping others improve their health based on her own success.
It all began 15 years ago when Rae began work as a colon hydrotherapist.
"As I started working with people and detoxing, I started to see the incredible power that food had. And the power it has over us, too," she said. "So I just started researching different ways of eating and cleaner forms of consuming food, using myself as an example and helping my clients."
Her work in colon hydrotherapy led to her discovery of the raw food diet, and earning a raw food chef certification in Boston added another tool to aid in her mission of improving others' health.
"It was just kind of like this snowball effect," she said. "I noticed that the more I did colonics, the more I would want to eat healthier. My body would just instinctively want cleaner food."
Rae said she hopes she can inspire her customers to do the same. As part of the effort, Rae will teach classes in her shop about the juicing process.
"People need this information, and people really need a reliable resource for healthy living," she said. "I feel like I'm a really good voice for that. I just really want to remind them that they deserve to have access to shine our light as bright as we possibly can."

The three-day tournament will feature 30 games, including five Lady Mocs matchups. Chattanooga hosts a doubleheader Friday afternoon against Eastern Kentucky and Lipscomb, beginning at 3:30 p.m. Over the weekend, the Lady Mocs also take on Miami-Ohio, Boston College and Missouri State. Frost Stadium hosts seven teams while three fields at Warner Park will see action from multiple teams. Play begins at 11 a.m. on Friday and Saturday while Sunday's games will begin at 10 a.m.
Chattanooga's matchup with the Eastern Kentucky Colonels serves as the two teams' fifth meeting all-time. The Lady Mocs and Colonels all-time record sits at an even 2-2 with Chattanooga claiming the last two contests. On the season, EKU has competed in one tournament and amassed a 3-1 record. While participating in the KSU Classic in Kennessaw, Ga., the Colonels claimed wins over Liberty, Ball State and Mercer while their only loss came against UAB.
The EKU offense is led by infielder Lauren Mitchell. The sophomore commands a .455 batting average with five hits and two doubles thus far. Shortstop Haley Schenasi follows closely behind with a .444 batting average, four hits and three RBI. Both Mitchell and Schenasi have totaled seven bases.
The ace of the Colons' pitching staff is Leanna Pittsenbarger. The sophomore has claimed two wins on the season in three appearances. Pittsenbarger maintains a 1.87 ERA while holding opponents to a .170 batting average.
Chattanooga battles Lipscomb at 5:45 p.m. Friday evening in its second game of the Frost Classic. The Lady Mocs command the all-time series record 5-3 while Lipscomb has claimed the last two meeting between the teams. Lipscomb comes to Chattanooga looking to snap a five-game skid. The Bison have suffered losses to No. 12 Louisiana-Lafayette, Houston, Northwestern State, Western Kentucky and Mississippi State while claiming wins over Iowa, Houston and Texas State.
Freshman Mickey Bell paces the Lipscomb offense with a .316 batting average and six hits. The catcher has two extra-base including a home run. She has 10 total bases and has driven two runs.
The pitching staff is headed up by Heather Parker. The junior has pitched in 28.0 innings, allowing just seven earned runs and maintaining a 1.75 ERA. Despite her numbers, Parker is 1-2 on the season in six appearances with one start under her belt.
The Lady Mocs host Miami-Ohio Saturday at 1:15 p.m., looking to improve their all-time record to 6-0 over the RedHawks. Miami 1-4 on the season with an 8-2 win over Marshall. Their four losses include a loss to the Thundering Herd, Indiana and two losses to Georgia Tech.
Kayla Ledbetter is batting an even .500 and slugging 1.375 through five games. The junior catcher has four hits along with two home runs. Her seven RBI are a team-best as she leads the RedHawks with three extra-base hits.
Pitcher Paige Myers is 1-2 on the season with a 3.07 ERA. The junior has started two games and has four appearances, pitching in a team-high 13.2 innings. She has fanned 11 batters.
Chattanooga wraps up Saturday's play at 3:30 p.m. against Boston College. The Eagles have yet to play a game, making the Frost Classic their season opener. Boston College will take on Missouri State, Miami and Ohio before facing the Lady Mocs. UTC is 1-0 all-time against the Eagles.
The Eagles return 2012 offensive leader Nicole D'Argento for the upcoming season. The senior batted .338 in 50 games, collecting 52 hits and launching a team-high nine home runs. D'Argento not only drove in 31 runs but also recorded a 2012-best 10 wins in the circle. Her 3.77 through 150.1 innings pitched helped lead the Eagles to 23 wins.
The Lady Mocs top off the Frost Classic with a 12:15 p.m. matchup with Missouri State as the Bears enter the tournament with four wins and six losses. Missouri State began the season with a four-game losing streak but snapped it win back-to-back wins over Butler and Boise State. Its other two wins came against Iowa State and UTSA. This will be the first matchup between the Lady Mocs and Bears.
Heather Duckworth leads the MSU offense with a .429 average through 28 at-bats. Her 12 hits is tied for the team lead while she has driven in seven runs and scored seven runs. The junior has two extra-base hits, both for doubles.
Pitcher Chelsea Jones has a team-high four wins while only recording two losses. The sophomore has made nine appearances and started six. She has tossed six complete games and struck 14 batters thus far.

The Chicago Wolves have teamed up with the Northern Illinois Hockey League (NIHL) for the third annual NIHL Wolves Cup, beginning this Saturday, February 26, at the Inwood Recreation Center in Joliet, Ill. The tournament will continue on Sun., Feb. 27, and conclude the following weekend, Sat., March 5, and Sun., March 6.
The tournament features more than 200 teams in 23 age divisions, ranging from Mites to Midgets (ages four to 18). The top four finishers from each age division will receive a Wolves Cup rink banner and individual player awards. Either the Wolves mascot, Skates, or former Wolves forward Steve Martins will present the banners to the championship teams from the Mites and Squirts divisions.
In addition, the Most Valuable Player from each of the 23 championship teams will be invited onto the ice to accept their team's Wolves Cup trophy during an intermission when the Wolves host the Oklahoma City Barons on Saturday, March 19.
"The Chicago Wolves have been a respected part of the NIHL family for several years," said NIHL President MIKE GLYNN. "Whether it is on the ice, in the locker room, or in the classroom, the Chicago Wolves are always there supporting our players and their families. From little things like official Chicago Wolves equipment bag tags, jersey patches, and helmet stickers, to big things like the NIHL/Chicago Wolves Academic Excellence Program - the most comprehensive academic program for hockey athletes in the entire state of Illinois - and the Wolves Cup Championship Tournament - probably the most exciting and, without a doubt, the most memorable yearly tournament in all of youth sports. It's not just a hockey tournament, but a true celebration of our athletes, our teams, and their supporting families."

the term flatlander isn't specific to any state. It's a term that all mountain people use to describe tourist that don't have the skills/knowledge to recreate in the mountains
The search and rescue team spent all week trying to find the flatlanders that tried to bag the fourteener with half a liter of water and a candy bar.
Did you see the flatlander try and make it down the bumps? It was histerical.

A person from any large city who does not know how to drive well on roads that aren't straight and flat. You can tell one because when you get stuck behind them on a mountain road they take the curves at a snails pace, but when you finally come to a flat/straight stretch (where you could potentially pass their slow ass) they speed up like crazy till the next curve. Lather, rinse, repeat. --Insult is added to injury when the flat landers have a large truck/SUV/other form of 4-wheel drive and do this.
Learn to drive, you flat lander!

Used by native Vermonters to describe people from anywhere else in the country, regardless of whether or not your state has a higher elevation than Vermont. If you aren't native to Vermont, you're a flatlander, period. The term came about because of people from other states visiting the state on account of the ski resorts and the mountains.
"Those damn rich flatlanders come up here from freakin' California and buy up all our farmland and develop damn Walmarts all over the place."
"You're from Michigan? You're a damn flatlander."

Enlighted, the company bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to the workplace with its smart sensor network and lighting control, announced that it has secured $20 million in a Series D funding round. All of Enlighted's current investors -- Draper Nexus Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, RockPort Capital Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Intel Capital -- participated in this round.
"Enlighted is on a tear, with strong customer momentum and revenue growth," said Joe Costello, who was recently appointed chairman and chief executive officer of Enlighted. "With this latest funding, we'll be able to keep up with current demand and continue to develop advanced workplace applications based on our sensor network and analytics platform, further extending the value of our system for customers."
Enlighted's people-smart lighting sensor product not only saves energy in commercial environments, but also increases comfort of occupants by adapting to individual and ambient lighting conditions. The system securely and anonymously collects data onto the Enlighted platform, to report on occupancy, environment and activity within a space. The evolving platform will soon add HVAC, security and other applications to the current lighting sensor functionality.
"Enlighted improves enterprise productivity and reduces operating costs through a combination of sensors, connectivity and big data analytics," said Trae Vassallo, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and member of Enlighted's board of directors. "Enlighted turns commercial buildings into powerful computing platforms -- putting the Internet of Things to work for its customers."
The second quarter of 2014 marked Enlighted's best quarter yet. Enlighted's advanced sensor network and lighting control system is currently deployed in 45 million square feet of office space across customers such as LinkedIn, Google, AT&T, Barclays and Genentech.
About Enlighted
Enlighted provides people-smart energy efficiency solutions for commercial environments. Its first application -- advanced lighting control, built on the Enlighted sensor and analytics platform -- saves companies between 50% and 70% in energy costs while tuning individual workspaces for the comfort and efficiency of the people who work in them. Additional applications ranging from occupancy and real estate analysis, to HVAC controls to security services are based on additional data that can be observed and aggregated on the Enlighted Application.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Man arrested in bleach-throwing attack on NY rabbi
NEW YORK (AP) - A man has been arrested on charges he threw bleach into the face of a New York City rabbi who publicizes claims of child sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
Police say Meilech Schnitzler turned himself in on Wednesday and was arrested on charges of felony assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. A woman who answered the phone at his home says he's not going to speak to anyone.
Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg told The New York Times ( http://nyti.ms/Rq838k) a man he recognized tossed the liquid in his face as he walked in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section on Tuesday.
Police say the two were involved in an "ongoing dispute."
Rosenberg runs a website that publicizes child sexual abuse victims in the Satmar Hasidic community.

Germany, officially Federal Republic of Germany, German Deutschland or Bundesrepublik Deutschland, country of north-central Europe, traversing the continent's main physical divisions, from the outer ranges of the Alps northward across the varied landscape of the Central German Uplands and then across the North German Plain.
One of Europe's largest countries, Germany encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: the tall, sheer mountains of the south; the sandy, rolling plains of the north; the forested hills of the urbanized west; and the plains of the agricultural east. At the spiritual heart of the country is the magnificent east-central city of Berlin, which rose phoenixlike from the ashes of World War II and now, after decades of partition, is the capital of a reunified Germany, and the Rhine River, which flows northward from Switzerland and is celebrated in visual art, literature, folklore, and song. Along its banks and those of its principal tributaries—among them the Neckar, Main, Moselle, and Ruhr—stand hundreds of medieval castles, churches, picturesque villages, market towns, and centres of learning and culture, including Heidelberg, the site of one of Europe's oldest universities (founded in 1386), and Mainz, historically one of Europe's most important publishing centres. All are centrepieces of Germany's thriving tourist economy, which brings millions of visitors to the country each year, drawn by its natural beauty, history, culture, and cuisine (including its renowned wines and beers).
The name Germany has long described not a particular place but the loose, fluid polity of Germanic-speaking peoples that held sway over much of western Europe north of the Alps for millennia. Although Germany in that sense is an ancient entity, the German nation in more or less its present form came into being only in the 19th century, when Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck brought together dozens of German-speaking kingdoms, principalities, free cities, bishoprics, and duchies to form the German Empire in 1871. This so-called Second Reich quickly became Europe's leading power and acquired colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. That overseas empire was dismantled following Germany's defeat in World War I and the abdication of Emperor William II. Economic depression, widespread unemployment, and political strife that verged on civil war followed, leading to the collapse of the progressive Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler. After gaining power in 1933, Hitler established the Third Reich and soon thereafter embarked on a ruinous crusade to conquer Europe and exterminate Jews, Roma (Gypsies), homosexuals, and others.
The Third Reich disintegrated in 1945, brought down by the Allied armies of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, France, and other countries. The victorious powers divided Germany into four zones of occupation and later into two countries: the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), separated for more than 40 years by a long boundary. In East Germany this boundary was, until the fall of its communist government in 1989, marked by defenses designed to prevent escape. The 185 square miles (480 square km) of the "island" of West Berlin were similarly ringed from 1961 to 1989 by the Berlin Wall running through the city and by a heavily guarded wire-mesh fence in the areas abutting the East German countryside. Although Berlin was a flashpoint between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the city declined in national and international significance until 1989–90, when a popular and peaceful uprising toppled the East German government and soon after restored a united Berlin as the capital of a reunified Germany.
Since World War II, Germany has made great efforts to both commemorate the victims and redress the crimes of the Holocaust, providing strong material and political support for the state of Israel and actively prosecuting hate crimes and the propagation of neo-Nazi doctrine; the latter became an issue in the 1990s with the rise in Germany of anti-immigrant skinhead groups and the availability of Hitler's Mein Kampf over the Internet. Clearly, modern Germany struggles to balance its national interests with those of an influx of political and economic refugees from far afield, especially North Africa, Turkey, and South Asia, an influx that has fueled ethnic tensions and swelled the ranks of nationalist political parties, particularly in eastern Germany, where unemployment was double that of the west.
The constitution of the republic, adopted in 1949 by West Germany, created a federal system that gives significant government powers to its constituent Länder (states). Before unification there were 11 West German Länder (including West Berlin, which had the special status of a Land without voting rights), but, with the accession of East Germany, there are now 16 Länder in the unified republic. The largest of the states is Bavaria (Bayern), the richest is Baden-Württemberg, and the most populous is North Rhine–Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen).
Matters of national importance, such as defense and foreign affairs, are reserved to the federal government. At both the state and federal levels, parliamentary democracy prevails. The Federal Republic has been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) since 1955 and was a founding member of the European Economic Community (see European Union). During the four decades of partition, the Federal Republic concluded a number of agreements with the Soviet Union and East Germany, which it supported to some extent economically in return for various concessions with regard to humanitarian matters and access to Berlin. West Germany's rapid economic recovery in the 1950s (Wirtschaftswunder, or "economic miracle") brought it into a leading position among the world's economic powers, a position that it has maintained.
Much of Germany's post-World War II success has been the result of the renowned industriousness and self-sacrifice of its people, about which novelist Günter Grass, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999, remarked, "To be a German is to make the impossible possible." He added, more critically,
For in our country everything is geared to growth. We're never satisfied. For us enough is never enough. We always want more. If it's on paper, we convert it into reality. Even in our dreams we're productive.
This devotion to hard work has combined with a public demeanour—which is at once reserved and assertive—to produce a stereotype of the German people as aloof and distant. Yet Germans prize both their private friendships and their friendly relations with neighbours and visitors, place a high value on leisure and culture, and enjoy the benefits of life in a liberal democracy that has become ever more integrated with and central to a united Europe.
Germany is bounded at its extreme north on the Jutland peninsula by Denmark. East and west of the peninsula, the Baltic Sea (Ostsee) and North Sea coasts, respectively, complete the northern border. To the west, Germany borders The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg; to the southwest it borders France. Germany shares its entire southern boundary with Switzerland and Austria. In the southeast the border with the Czech Republic corresponds to an earlier boundary of 1918, renewed by treaty in 1945. The easternmost frontier adjoins Poland along the northward course of the Neisse River and subsequently the Oder to the Baltic Sea, with a westward deviation in the north to exclude the former German port city of Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) and the Oder mouth. This border reflects the loss of Germany's eastern territories to Poland, agreed to at the Yalta Conference (February 1945), mandated at the Potsdam Conference (July–August 1945) held among the victorious World War II Allies, and reaffirmed by subsequent governments.
The major lineaments of Germany's physical geography are not unique. The country spans the great east-west morphological zones that are characteristic of the western part of central Europe. In the south Germany impinges on the outermost ranges of the Alps. From there it extends across the Alpine Foreland (Alpenvorland), the plain on the northern edge of the Alps. Forming the core of the country is the large zone of the Central German Uplands, which is part of a wider European arc of territory stretching from the Massif Central of France in the west into the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland in the east. In Germany it manifests itself as a landscape with a complex mixture of forested block mountains, intermediate plateaus with scarped edges, and lowland basins. In the northern part of the country the North German Plain, or Lowland, forms part of the greater North European Plain, which broadens from the Low Countries eastward across Germany and Poland into Belarus, the Baltic states, and Russia and extends northward through Schleswig-Holstein into the Jutland peninsula of Denmark. The North German Plain is fringed by marshes, mudflats, and the islands of the North and Baltic seas. In general, Germany has a south-to-north drop in altitude, from a maximum elevation of 9,718 feet (2,962 metres) in the Zugspitze of the Bavarian Alps to a few small areas slightly below sea level in the north near the coast.
It is a common assumption that surface configuration reflects the underlying rock type; a hard resistant rock such as granite will stand out, whereas a softer rock such as clay will be weathered away. However, this assumption is not always borne out. The Zugspitze, for example, is Germany's highest summit not because it is composed of particularly resistant rocks but because it was raised by the mighty earth movements that began some 37 to 24 million years ago and created the Alps, Europe's highest and youngest fold mountains. Another powerful force determining surface configuration is erosion, mainly by rivers. In the Permian Period (some 290 million years ago) an earlier mountain chain—the Hercynian, or Variscan, mountains—had crossed Europe in the area of the Central German Uplands. Yet the forces of erosion were sufficient to reduce these mountains to almost level surfaces, on which a series of secondary sedimentary rocks of Permian to Jurassic age (about 300 to 145 million years old) were deposited. The entire formation was subsequently fractured and warped under the impact of the Alpine orogeny. This process was accompanied by some volcanic activity, which left behind not only peaks but also a substantial number of hot and mineral springs. Dramatic erosion occurred as the Alpine chains were rising, filling the furrow that now constitutes the Alpine Foreland. The pattern of valleys eroded by streams and rivers has largely given rise to the details of the present landscape. Valley glaciers emerging from the Alps and ice sheets from Scandinavia had some erosive effect, but they mainly contributed sheets of glacial deposits. Slopes outside the area of the actual ice sheets—those under tundra conditions and unprotected by vegetation—were rendered less steep by the periglacial slumping of surface deposits under the influence of gravitation. Winds blowing over unprotected surfaces fringing the ice sheets picked up fine material known as loess; once deposited, it became Germany's most fertile soil-parent material. Coarser weathered material was carried into alluvial cones and gravel-covered river terraces, as in the Rhine Rift Valley (Rhine Graben).
The detailed morphology of Germany is significant in providing local modifications to climate, hydrology, and soils, with consequent effects on vegetation and agricultural utilization.
The Central German Uplands
Geographically, the Central German Uplands form a region of great complexity. Under the impact of the Alpine orogeny, the planed-off remnants of the former Hercynian mountains were shattered and portions thrust upward to form block mountains, with sedimentary rocks preserved between them in lowlands and plateaus. The Central German Uplands may be divided into three main parts: a predominantly lowland country in the south, an arc of massifs and plateaus running from the Rhenish Uplands to Bohemia, and a fairly narrow northern fringe, composed of folded secondary rocks.

Herd must sharpen shooting
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University men's basketball needs someone to make a shot. And another. And another.
It might become contagious and get the Thundering Herd out of a slump.
In the three games since making a season-best 51.6 percent of its shots in a Nov. 24 defeat of the Nevada Wolf Pack, the Herd's field goal mark is 35.3 percent.
And, it's not just missed jump shots and layups that concern head coach Tom Herrion.
Marshall is also making only 60.3 percent of its free throws, which ranks last in Conference USA.
"Our ineptitude of shooting the ball period has affected our games," Herrion said.
Herrion is hoping the lid comes off the basket Saturday when Coppin State (1-7) visits Marshall (5-4) for a 7 p.m. game in Cam Henderson Center.
Poor shooting finally caught up with the Herd this week.
Marshall made only 36.5 percent of its shots Wednesday and lost to West Virginia in the Capital Classic, 69-59. That shooting performance followed three-point wins over Morehead State and UNC Wilmington when the Thundering Herd shot 33.3 and 36.4 percent respectively.
The Herd got off to a good start against the Mountaineers, connecting on five of its first six field goal tries, but missed its next three and it didn't get better.
Herrion said Friday the only solution is to keep plugging away.
"Keep grinding," he said.
Point guard Dre Kane leads the team in scoring (15.7) and ranks fourth nationally with 8.2 assists per game, but is shooting 35.9 percent from the field and 46.9 percent on foul shots.
Elijah Pittman and D.D. Scarver, a forward and guard respectively, both average 14.2 points. Pittman is shooting well from the field (55.1) and at the foul line (84.4). Scarver has hit 38.6 percent (22 of 57) of his 3-point attempts and is an 86.7 percent free throw shooter.
Forward Dennis Tinnon's 45.0 field goal percentage includes going 0-for-4 from close range against WVU. He averages 11.0 points and 9.1 rebounds. Center Nigel Spikes, who made one of his three shots Wednesday night, averages 7.8 points and 9.0 rebounds.
"We were missing layups and stick-backs," Herrion said.
Marshall forward Rob Goff is suspended for Saturday's game because of his part in a late-game scuffle with WVU.
Coppin State is a historically black school in Baltimore that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Head coach Ron "Fang" Mitchell has won more than 400 games in 27 seasons at his alma mater with four NCAA tournament appearances and two National Invitation Tournament berths.
Mitchell was tagged with his nickname as a youngster when a friend thought his deep, scratchy voice resembled the TV dog character "White Fang" on the "Soupy Sales Show" hosted by the late Sales, a former Marshall student who was raised in Huntington.
"Over the years, the 'White' was dropped for obvious reasons," Mitchell says.
His best season was 2007-08 when Coppin State upset South Carolina in the NCAA tournament and lost to Texas by one point.
This season's Eagles have lost at Southern Cal, Texas and No. 1 Indiana. Their lone win was against NCAA Division II Cheyney, 98-78.
Michael Murray, a 6-foot-5 junior forward, scored 27 and had 10 rebounds Tuesday in a loss to St. Joseph's (67-55). Murray has averages of 12.4 points and 10.9 rebounds.
Freshman guard Patrick Cole and senior guard Troy Franklin score 13.3 and 11.9 points respectively.
Coppin State plays fast offensively and puts up 3-point shots at an alarming rate of 26 attempts per game, Herrion said.
Defensively, the Eagles mix it up with man-to-man and zone.
