For advanced and high school players our drills are designed to teach how to construct points using spin, pace and placement. The afternoon session will focus on strategy, tactics and match play. Our experienced staff consists of current and former CAL men's and women's players. Join the fun at this youth summer tennis camp and get better!
Campers will have access to the 15 tennis courts on the UC Berkeley campus.
California tennis makes its home at the Hellman Tennis Complex, located on the southwest side of campus. Used both for practice and home dual match competition, Hellman served as the host facility for the 1996 Men's Rolex NorCal Regional Tournament and was the site of the '94 NCTA/Michael Chang Reach for the Stars tennis clinic that benefited underprivileged Northern California youths, as well as numerous NCAA regional competitions.
The ninth coach in the 118-year history of Cal tennis, Wright has compiled a 255-187 (.577) career record during his tenure in Berkeley. In the 2011-12 season, with a 14-12 overall record (4-3/fourth place in the Pac-12 Conference), the Bears made their 13th consecutive postseason appearance in the NCAA tournament and the 18th in 19 years under Wright's guidance. The Bears advanced to the round of 16 for the sixth time under Wright. Senior Nick Andrews and junior Christoffer Konigsfeldt earned ITA All-America honors, while Andrews and sophomore Ben McLachlan earned selection to the All-Pac-12 Second Team. Senior Carlos Cueto garnered All-Pac-12 honorable mention.
Under Wright, 11 Cal players have combined to receive 15 ITA All-America selections. Wright's 2003 squad completed the season ranked fourth nationally, and boasted two ITA All-Americans and three all-conference selections. That team's 21-5 record is considered the school's all-time best record since joining the Pac-10. That year, the Bears finished in second place in conference play, which is California's best-ever showing in one of the toughest conferences in collegiate men's tennis. The 2002 season marked the first time that Cal enjoyed a series sweep of UCLA since 1953 and the first time that the Bears beat Stanford, UCLA and USC in the same season.
Wright's tour highlights include appearances at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. He represented Ireland in Davis Cup from 1988-95 and served as Irish Davis Cup Captain from 1995-2003. Wright also served as the Head Coach for Ireland at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
Wright has served as Chairman of the NCAA Tennis Committee as well as on the Executive Board of Directors of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).
Wright's community involvement includes serving as vice-president of Youth Tennis Advantage, whose organizational mission is to inspire inner-city kids to achieve their full potential through tennis and academic programs. In 2001, he established the Bear Trax program at Cal, which brings YTA children from Oakland to the Berkeley campus for academic tutoring with Cal students and tennis instruction with the Golden Bear men's and women's teams.
A Berkeley native, Wright was born on Dec. 8, 1963, attended Berkeley High School and earned a B.A. in Social Science from Cal. His wife of 17 years, Fionnuala, is a former Irish national tennis champion and a former member of the Irish national basketball team. The Wrights currently reside in Berkeley with their sons, Thomas and Michael, and daughter, Carly.
Browne joined the Golden Bears with a year of experience under his belt as an active undergraduate assistant with the team, helping Cal to a 13-11 overall record, and fourth place in the Pac-10 conference with a 4-3 mark. In 2008, the Bears received a bid to the NCAA tournament for the eighth consecutive season, and advanced to the second round.
As a player, Browne posted a 72-59 overall singles record and added 46 doubles victories in four years on the court. He was ranked as high as No. 56 in singles and No. 12 in doubles with partner Conor Niland. As a junior, he was selected to the 2006 All-Pac-10 team and received honorable mention in 2007. Browne served as the team captain during the 2006-07 season and was an active member of the Bear Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
A native of Walnut Creek, Calif., Browne received a degree in sociology in 2008 and currently resides in Berkeley, Calif.
Now entering her seventh season in Berkeley, Augustus has already made a return trip to the NCAA final and produced numerous ITA All-Americans. Under her guidance, Jana Juricova and Mari Andersson combined to claim the 2009 NCAA Doubles Championship. Juricova later captured Cal's first ITA National Indoor Championships singles title, and more recently became Cal's second NCAA singles champion. Juricova's impressive run in 2010-11 also made her the first Bear to garner the ITA's National Player of the Year Award, and the Honda Sports Award.
Augustus returned to her alma mater on July 20, 2007, to succeed her college coach, Jan Brogan, who announced her retirement, after 29 years at the helm. A four-time All-American at Cal from 1996-99, Augustus played professionally on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour for several years before turning her efforts to coaching. The Manhattan Beach, Calif. native served as head men's and women's tennis coach at Whittier College from 2004-05 and was an assistant at Michigan in 2005-06, before being elevated to the head position for the 2006-07 season.While overseeing the Wolverine program, Augustus guided the team to a 17-8 overall record, 8-2 in the Big Ten for third place. Michigan placed second at the Big Ten team championships and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament, completing its season with a No. 22 national ranking.
As a player for the Bears, Augustus earned All-Pac-10 honors in each of her four years, including first-team recognition as a sophomore, junior and senior. She teamed with Amy Jensen to capture the NCAA doubles title in both 1998 and 1999 and became the first tandem ever to win back-to-back doubles championships. In addition, Augustus and Francesca La'o were NCAA doubles quarterfinalists in 1996.
Augustus also earned an invitation to play in the NCAA singles tournament each of her four years at Cal, reaching the quarterfinals as a junior in 1998. During her career, she was ranked as high as fourth nationally in singles.
As a senior, Augustus received the Cissy Leary Sportsmanship Award for the ITA Northwest Region, as well as the Gladys Heldman Award for her outstanding combination of athletics and academics. In 1998, she was selected as the Daily Californian's Female Athlete of the Year.
After graduating with her degree in economics and a minor in business administration, Augustus turned her attention to the WTA tour and successfully earned invitations to the main draw of all four Grand Slam events - Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. She achieved world rankings of No. 82 in doubles and No. 304 in singles, and won 20 professional tournaments.
Augustus currently resides in Emeryville, Calif.
While at BYU, Warren helped guide the men's program to three historic seasons, which included an overall record of 58-22 and a Mountain Region record of 27-0.
The 2010 and 2011 Cougar squads both finished with a BYU record-tying 21 wins, going 21-7 and 21-6, helping propel the team to two consecutive NCAA Championships.
In 2010, Warren helped the Cougars earn their first Conference title since 2003. The Cougars went on to win both the Mountain West Conference regular-season championship and tournament title in 2011.
BYU found itself in the top 25 in 2010 for the first time in over 30 years. And in the 2011-2012 season he coached Georgy Batrakov to the final 16 of the All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Warren's perfect record against regional opponents (27-0) over three seasons helped him earn the 2011 Mountain Region Assistant Tennis Coach of the Year, making him a candidate for the National Assistant Coach of the Year.
Before his hiring as an assistant coach, Warren played collegiate tennis for BYU during the 04-05 and 05-06 seasons.
Prior to his playing and coaching experience at BYU, Warren was an instructor for BYU tennis camps as well as the summer camp director for Rolling Hills Club in Novato, Calif.
Warren graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in communications and a business minor. His wife, Angela, is a former All-American track athlete for BYU. The two of them reside in Marin County.
When we arrived on Monday morning, we were greeted by a very friendly group of people who seemed excited to see my son. Needless to say, he was a bit nervous about being in a new situation with kids he had never met before. The staff gave him a really cool t-shirt and then proceeded to get all of the kids together for instruction. The staff introduced themselves and went through the rules. Both of us are school teachers and it was great to see the organization from the get go. After the initial greetings and rules, they immediately got to work on warm-up and drill, a standard procedure for the following days.
I am so glad we chose to send our son to your school for camp. He was so glad to come back and tell his coach about his wonderful experiences there. He not only had a great time, but he felt as though he made some new friends and learned a lot from your coaches. He is already talking about next year's tennis camp and has decided he might want to try the full day as well.
Thank you for such an invaluable experience!
Our son loves this camp and the coaches! He can't wait to attend next year!
Coach Wright and Browne were exceptional with the children. They made it fun and were incredibly enthusiastic. My kids wanted to repeat the experience next summer!
Big thanks to Coach Peter Wright and his staff - my son had a great time. First rate all the way.

Sales: Fully Mobilize Your Mobile Technology
The life sciences industry has recognized the potential of mobile technology for well over a decade. Yet, to date, constraints due to lack of technological advancements in hardware and wireless communication infrastructure have limited innovation and compromised the essential usability of mobile solutions. From unwieldy laptops with poor battery life, to the time consuming process of booting up, many users have shunned mobile solutions.
The market began to change with the arrival of the RIM Blackberry and other smart phones, but it was the launch of the Apple iPad in 2010 that finally enabled the industry to begin to explore the very real operational and customer relationship opportunities that the mobile ecosystem could and would deliver.
The market is now awash with highly functional, lightweight tablets offering long battery life and instant-on technology, which has enabled field users to be immediately prepared to show multi-media presentations to HCPs. Almost instantaneously, the field users can maximize the short time available with the HCP. While the simplicity of the device enables them to work the tablet with ease, the graphical capabilities open the door for innovative ways of sharing information.
As a result, the vast majority of US Life Sciences companies now have a field force using tablet technology. Many, in fact, encourage their field personnel to utilize their own personal devices, leveraging improvements in security technology to deliver tablet-ready CRM technologies on these systems.
Productive Sales Force
There is also growing interest in voice navigation technology that improves productivity. From enabling call recording — to the automated creation of emails — voice technology offers huge opportunities for reducing manual overhead, allowing the field force to spend more time undertaking productive, timely and relevant customer interactions.
Field managers can also maximize effectiveness and collaboration by combining real time access of performance figures with online interaction with under-performing representatives.
Customer Interaction
At the heart of the transformation in both field force productivity and the quality of customer interactions will be the use of location-based services. Combining mobile CRM with location awareness will ensure that the latest information updates on an organization or HCP will be available prior to the interaction to facilitate the most meaningful conversation. Representatives can also use tools like "Near Me" — powered by location awareness — to provide a graphical view of individuals a field user could meet in proximity of their current location, based on their call goals, hence optimizing productivity.
The evolution in mobile technologies also enables companies to improve collaboration across the team. Field users can make requests for information, such as research studies, direct to the relevant team member while in a meeting with the customer, and deliver the information or the research paper in almost real time.
Complete Interaction
Indeed, some organizations are exploring the opportunity to extend the representative/HCP interaction to include a face time communication with a medical liaison, if required by the HCP, for additional questions that the representative cannot or should not answer.
There is so much more that can be done using these devices than just multimedia presentations. If the Life Sciences industry is to truly maximize the mobile opportunity, business processes must be wrapped around the power of mobile technology. Organizations now have an unprecedented opportunity to be innovative, to get ahead of the competition, and to achieve real benefits through improved customer relationships and transformed representative productivity.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - A judge has dismissed a fraud charge against a West Virginia man accused of scamming an elderly Blacksburg woman.
Thirty-seven-year-old Shane Allen McCoy was charged with attempting to obtain money under false pretenses. He was accused of coercing an elderly Blacksburg woman to pay for tree services that she initially refused.
The Roanoke Times ( http://bit.ly/T7glAl) reports that Micajahala Spradlin-Harvey testified Tuesday that McCoy represented himself as an Appalachian Power employee. McCoy denied the allegation and testified that he gave Spradlin- Harvey a piece of paper with his name and contact information on it.
Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Bobby Turk said he couldn't convict McCoy because there was reasonable doubt that he represented himself as an Appalachian Power employee.

UPDATED Thursday, November 15, 2012 --- 11:32 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker plans to announce Friday morning whether Wisconsin will move forward with implementing a health insurance exchange or defer to the federal government.
Friday is the deadline for states to inform President Barack Obama's administration whether they will implement the exchanges required under the Affordable Care Act known as "Obamacare" or let the federal government do it.
States can also opt for a hybrid approach.
Walker has been a staunch opponent of the law, halting implementation last year in the hopes that it would be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court or Republicans would win in November and do away with the law.
Neither happened.
Numerous health care and business groups, insurers and others are pressuring Walker to have the state run the exchange.

UPDATED Sunday, November 11, 2012 --- 1:42 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- An array of interests including business groups and liberal health care advocates are united in pressuring Gov. Scott Walker to create a state-run exchange under the federal health care law.
Walker faces a Friday deadline to tell President Barack Obama's administration what he intends to do.
The governor met privately with advisers immediately after Obama won re-election and had no plans to publically announce what direction he's headed until after Monday.
Walker has three choices: create a state-run virtual marketplace for the public to shop for private insurance; let the federal government set it up; or a combination approach.
Those with an interest in the process contacted by The Associated Press say they have not been involved with Walker's administration on coming up with a plan.

Posted Wednesday, November 7, 2012 --- 10:36 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- President Barack Obama's re-election is forcing the hand of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who had stopped all efforts to implement the federal health care reform law in the hopes that Republicans would take over in Washington.
But Obama won and Democrats kept control of the Senate, meaning the Affordable Health Care Act will continue to go into effect. Wisconsin faces a Nov. 16 deadline to inform the Obama administration about whether the state will implement a health care marketplace, or exchange, or let the federal government do it.
Walker told reporters Wednesday in Milwaukee that he will be meeting with state officials this week to discuss the next steps. A spokeswoman for Walker's Department of Health Services declined immediate comment.
Republican legislative leaders say they need to discuss next steps.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I can't get things crispy when I roast them, like chicken, or potatoes. I think it's because my oven is electric, but even when I use the old, heating up the fat in the oven and then putting the spuds in- trick I can't seem to get them to go crispy. My friends suggested I cheat and do roast spuds in the deep fryer but it's not the healthiest option. Everything I roast ends up looking poached.

Hi Jamie..Okay, everytime I make a beurre blanc, it's almost too vinegary tasting..I whip it into submission thinking that it should break down some of the acidity. I have tried so many vinegars. What vinegar do you use? I am not giving up!

Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Allegretto
Movement 3: Andante
Movement 4: Moderato
The Allegretto scherzo turns the tonality to G minor and starts as a kind of stealthy minuet, establishing a repeated-note figure as part of a rather capricious melodic line. The Animato second strain then develops the idea more forcefully in quasi-canon between the two instruments (and the pianist's two hands). A more sentimental con espressione variant and a flurry of piano chromatics bring an entire repeat of what has so far transpired. The flowingly melodious trio section is almost entirely expounded by the piano with only a few cello comments. There is a full da capo of the scherzo, and then a coda that starts nostalgically, obsesses about the rhythmic figure, then disappears in a swift pianissimo staccato sign-off.
The Andante slow movement, in E flat, begins with a long-breathed, intensely romantic largamente tune which must rank among Rubinstein's finest melodic inspirations. It is heard against a pulsed chordal accompaniment that starts out as groups of repeated notes separated by empty bars in which the cello is unsupported, its melody growing in warmth and cogency. A more easily flowing, almost neo-Bachian two-part invention then starts up in the piano, the cello soon joining as a lyrical third voice. (It should be remembered that Rubinstein was among the first leading virtuosos who regularly included Bach's keyboard works in his recitals.) The semiquaver motion of this passage then substitutes for the pulsed chords in a reprise of the first theme, which grows in ardour to a grandiose restatement, the piano having the theme in full harmony as the cello responds in alternate bars, until the two instruments drive together to a climax. When the emotion subsides the semiquaver figuration, no longer part of a polyphonic scheme, bears the cello line back to a tranced reprise of the opening theme with the original pulsing chords. A reminiscence of the 'two-part invention' leads to a cadential close, the piano descending to its low register, the cello ascending to its highest.
Like the finale of the first sonata, the last movement of No 2 is marked Moderato, but with the qualification con fuoco ed appassionato, and it is probably the most virtuosic display piece, as well as the most inventive and imaginative conception, in either work. Capricious piano figuration and cello pizzicati start it off, soon settling into a driving and forceful first subject with quick-march rhythms in the piano. A smoother transition theme, con espressione, links to a second subject proper, notable for the wide leaps and intervals of the cello line—an idea which, as often in the material of this movement, blends passion with wit. A smoothly ascending tune initiates a codetta, and then this whole exposition is repeated. It makes way for a development section that starts with the ascending codetta theme and somewhat slows the pace through its concentration on chorale-like chordal writing in the piano. There follows an episode that Rubinstein marks dramatico, the cello in truculent, almost aggrieved recitative against piano tremolandi. A full recapitulation continues to find ways of elaborating and varying the material, even incorporating the cello's dramatico protest, which then initiates a grand, full-hearted coda. The capricious figurations of the opening return just in time to preface the grandiose final bars.

Publisher: Gambit Publications Author: GM Murray Chandler Year of Publication: 1998
Pages: 127 Book Type: Hardcover
This is not just a book for kids - for 'Dad' read any opponent who beats you regularly! This book teaches the 50 Deadly Checkmates - basic attacking patterns that occur repeatedly in games between players of all standards. Each mating motif is carefully and simply explained, and several illustrative examples are given. A final test enables the reader to grade his pattern recognition abilities, and the last chapter explains what to do if your Dad is Garry Kasparov. Fun, instructive - and guaranteed to improve your game.
"Chandler does a nice job of using basic examples of the 50 themes to build to more complicated positions that ultimately utilize the same theme. In this way, the reader begins to understand how complicated positions can be distilled into their more basic components. This is a fun book that will help many players, either as a basic starting point in the study of checkmate tactics or as a refresher. I found several positions of interest as I worked through the book, and I think it will be of particular value to players up through class C. Younger players will also likely find it enjoyable. I would finally note that this is a hardcover book with nice paper, printing, and supporting illustrations." - Randy Bauer, Silman's website "While this book is not a detailed manual on the attack or tactics, it is a great blend for the intermediate player. Don't let the title fool you, overall this is a great book that will teach many important winning patterns. Sprinkled with pictures this is a very fun book and would be a great addition to any strong beginner or intermediate player!" - Andy May "A killer title hides a book that, while ostensibly aimed at children, is really for any player who wants to improve their game, especially their ability to attack and get checkmates. (For those who understand the jargon, our chess expert tells us this book is most appropriate for beginner-intermediate players looking to strengthen their middle game, as there is no opening theory in the book.) Far from light reading, it's a focused, intensive how-to book, and some readers (including many adults) will find the masses of diagrams and move-notation daunting. However, the writing itself is informative without being dry, and there's enough chess history included to keep things from getting boring. For a certain sort of determined young player, this could be the perfect tool to help them achieve their dreams of dad-domination."- WordPool "Don't let the title fool you; this is a book that almost anyone below the Expert level would benefit greatly from. Chandler has a very clear idea of his audience and I think that almost anybody who studied this book closely would improve his or her tactical vision. I found the book to be extremely well written and a useful addition to my collection. It also would be very beneficial in the instruction of young players, as the examples given in the test positions would probably keep most youngsters engaged for a couple of hours at least" - Bill Whited "A perfect introduction to tactics for the beginner and developing student" - IM John Watson, TWIC "I have found the novel naming of (checkmating) positions and emphasis on pattern recognition very refreshing" - Alex von der Becke "If you don't have a dad in the vicinity, any opponent will squirm when you hit him with Greco's Mate or the bishop sacrifice on f7. Useful and fun." - Sarah Hurst, Chess Moves "The charm of this book is that every position is a deadly checkmate...simple but extremely instructional. Great fun" - Bernard Hannison, Chess Post "[a] treasure trove of ideas" - GM Paul Motwani, The Scotsman "A fun and readable romp through the topic of pattern recognition and mating combinations" - Randy Bauer, Randy's Reviews "A splendid Christmas present" - Ken Bloodworth, Western Morning News "Fun to read for players of any age or any strength" - Lubosh Kavalek, Washington Post "A fantastic book...players of all standards will learn from it" - Ivor Annetts, En Passant "Instructive positions from real games are given in a user-friendly way to show clever methods of forcing checkmate" - Peter Gibbs, Birmingham Post "Well laid out...aimed at the younger player who knows how to play the game but still often loses" - Australian Chess Forum "Thorough and entertaining...the book is well designed and well written" - Inside Chess "Chandler observes, and I couldn't agree more, that 'pattern recognition' is very important" - Luke McShane, Express "An excellent collection of study material about attacking formations and checkmating patterns" - A McGowan, Scottish Chess

text: There are lots of Pug's out there that think the OT is supposed to hold all the whelps and the guards while they stand and watch and so goes the raid. If there are people like this that can't figure out why the tank is dying when the healer is dead and tank is too i would sugest they read up on the fight before pugging. Suggest that they watch or read up on these encounters, it will save alot of gold and flasks believe me. In particular melee dps and both tanks should be helping on whelps so don't jump down your OT's throat cause you guys wipe, think about what you could do to finish the raid. It seems there is so many people playing that they forget what to do and use the tanks as a whipping post, so next time you guys wipe use your minds for problem solving not pointing fingers and cracking wise it gets you no where. Even Pug's should work together and learn what you can before hand not during. Mordrene of Exodar
