The Ties That Bind: The U.S. Men's National Team and Princeton
Photo Gallery
GPT.tv Videos
US Soccer Video
It was an easy decision.
Princeton University was selected by Men's National Soccer Team head coach Bob Bradley as the location to hold the pre-World Cup training camp.
Bradley's ties to the Princeton community are never-ending and it was those connections that led him to bring his team to campus to train during the week of May 17-23.
Bradley, a 1980 Princeton alum, played soccer for the Tigers from 1976-1979. In 1984 he took over as head coach of the program, and led the team to its first NCAA College Cup before leaving in 1995 to join the coaching ranks of Major League Soccer.
Bradley was hired by former Princeton Athletic Director Bob Myslik and during his 11-year reign as head coach, Bradley coached Myslik's son Rob along with current Princeton head coach Jim Barlow from 1986-89. In 2003, Rob was killed in a car accident. His memory will forever live on with his name attached to the two-year old facility Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium.
Bradley told his players about Myslik Field and "Robbie" and introduced the team to Robbie's father Bob after a training session. When thanked for coming out to the practice, Myslik, who was traveling from his home in Boston, said, "I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
Graduating just one year before Rob Myslik stepped foot on the pitch was goalkeeper Tom Roberts, for whom the stadium is named.
Opening in 2008, Princeton's Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium was the home to the National Team for a weeklong training camp.
It's an honor that members of the Princeton community haven't taken for granted.
"We feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of the U.S. team's road to the World Cup," head coach of the women's soccer program Julie Shackford said. "It was an amazing opportunity for the Princeton soccer programs and the fact that the U.S. coaches and players thought our facility was the best they had utilized made it that much more special."
"We were honored that they chose to train on Myslik Field in Roberts Stadium before leaving for South Africa, and we hope they enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed hosting them," Barlow said. "They provided the Princeton community with some incredible lasting memories, and we can't wait to see them do well in South Africa."
"It's unbelievable that the men's national team chose this spot to get ready for the World Cup," junior Max Hare of the Princeton men's soccer team said. "I'm always going to remember this, especially next year, my last year. I'm always going to come out to this field knowing that the best players were here playing here and working hard and it's going to drive me to work as hard as they do."
The team, a roster of 30, arrived in Princeton on May 15 and had full physicals before starting training on Monday, May 17. The practices were closed to the public but invited guests and members of the Princeton Athletics Department were able to attend practices that were held from 10-noon.
Former Princeton basketball coach Pete Carrill stopped by practice on Friday, Myslik made the trip on Thursday and Bradley's parents were in attendance on Sunday. A familiar face at training every single day was Scott Bradley, the Princeton baseball coach and Bradley's brother. After training either Bob or son Michael would head over to speak with Scott on the sideline.
It was not only a special chance for Bradley and his son Michael, a midfielder on the team who was born in Princeton in 1987, to return to Princeton but also a homecoming for several players who play overseas and call New Jersey home. They include starting keeper Tim Howard (North Brunswick) and striker Jozy Altidore (Livingston) who said in an interview with GoPrincetonTigers.tv that he was pretty close to attending Princeton.
Also stopping by practice on Thursday was Princeton Athletic Director Gary Walters, who was instrumental in making the training camp at Princeton a reality. He presented the team with Princeton hats to commemorate its visit.
Barlow said one of the funniest moments was when midfielder Benny Feilhaber received his Princeton hat. "I hadn't seen Benny since his official visit to Princeton -- it wound up not working out here and he went to UCLA -- I told him I was sorry it did not work out at Princeton, but I think things turned out for the best for him."
An incredible number of media outlets were on hand each day, when they were allowed in for the final 15 minutes of practice. During the first day of practice over 70 outlets had requested entrance to practice and they came from all over the world including, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, CNN, MLS.com, outlets from Canada, the UK, Mexico.
It was obvious to those in attendance the focus of camp was on fitness. The team would start each practice with a light jog before agility, foot and ball drills that would take up about half of practice. The team would then play short field, 6v6 and later in the week full field games. They were physical as it was the last chance for 23 of them to prove themselves worthy of being named to the final roster, a decision Bradley made live on ESPN on Wednesday, May 26.
Most practices ended with long runs, about 10-15 laps around the field, a break and then another 10-15 laps in the opposite direction. The players were hooked up to instant heart rate monitors.
The players had nothing but spectacular things to say about the facility.
"This is actually better than a lot of pitches I've played on before," midfielder Maurice Edu said. "The team's enjoyed it. We're out here working hard. And the staff and everyone that's been a part of Princeton has done a tremendous job in helping us really take full advantage of the facilities here, whether it's on the pitch or inside using the cold tubs and all the other facilities. It's been great for us, we've really enjoyed it."
"The field's been great and has held up really really well," goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "It's not only plush but it's firm enough to withhold all of the bumps and bruises that we give it. "
Just when you think you have figured out all of the ties the National Team has to Princeton you learn of another, and then another.
Three members of the team had connections to the University. Midfielder Robbie Rogers, defender Jonathan Spector and Altidore all played for Barlow on the U.S. U-15 Team, a team that Barlow has been the head coach of for the past six years.
The newest member of the National Team also has connections to the Orange and Black. Princeton All-America Jesse Marsch '90 joined the team as an assistant coach in February after a 14-year career in the MLS.
"It was a special week having the U.S. Men's National Team train in Princeton and having Bob Bradley and Jesse Marsch back on campus," Barlow said.
The team will depart for South Africa on Sunday, the day after it plays its second of two home-field friendlies with Turkey in Philadelphia.
The U.S. is drawn with England, Algeria and Slovenia in the Group C for the first round of the World Cup starting on June 11. The U.S. will play England on June 12, Slovenia on June 18 and Algeria on June 23.
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Princeton. Having a hand in preparing the U.S. National Team for the world's biggest stage.
One of the biggest stage hands in having the camp go off without a hitch event was Russ Steves, Princeton athletic trainer.
"Russ should be commended for taking the lead and orchestrating the entire training camp without a hitch," Shackford said.
"I don't think this event would have been possible without Russ," Barlow said. "He handled so many details from organizing the volunteer staff and security, to helping US Soccer assemble the daily guest list, preparing for press conferences and media requests, equipment set-up and breakdown, and troubleshooting all week for US Soccer. He gave an incredible amount of time and energy to this event and Princeton Soccer is grateful for all that he did."-Kristy McNeil, Princeton Athletic Communications

Back to the overview
I am in love with Buenos Aires. I lived downtown for eight years, from age 25 to 32, and still spend a lot of time here. My home is now 40 kilometers north of the city but like so many others I travel in several times a week.
People who live just as far out or even further come day after day to study, to walk, to shop, to visit their psychoanalyst or to take care of all kinds of things.
If necessary, I even come in twice a day. I don't mind. And if I did, I couldn't do anything about it because the pull of Buenos Aires is so powerful.

Versatile shoe that can work for a dressier or casual look. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor emulates the feeling of walking on sand.
MBT Nama Brown Patent Leather Women's Shoe
This MBT style features removable insoles so that you can add your own orthotic insoles. Although to fully benefit from the MBT technology the MBT shoes should be worn without orthotics.
If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
This shoe is a nice looking shoe...alittle stiff... and the velcro needs to be alittle longer on the top strap...over all the shoe is pretty good.
I have had inflammation in the joint between the toes and the ball of my foot. It hurt to walk, so my foot doctor sent me to a shoe store to try Clarks, or some kind of specialized shoe. The clerk gave me a pair of MBT sandals (I'd never heard of them) to try on. When I got up to walk to the mirror, I was amazed because there was NO pain in my foot! I wanted to walk around in them all day. Couldn't buy them because I am a retired lady, and the price was more than I could afford. I found Footwear, etc and have been happily buying MBT's when they go on sale. They are well built, comfortable and allow me to walk for miles with no discomfort. This pair, NAMA, I bought for the same reason as the last reviewer. I wanted something attractive to wear in the winter, other than my MBT tennies. They fit perfectly and I could use them all day the first day. I did have to order them in one size larger than my regular shoe size (which I don't wear anymore). Sketchers do not compare to MBT's.
I have to wear comfort shoes due to multiple foot issues. No pair is 100% perfect, but MBTs are the best. I wear these particiular shoes to work when I want something sharper looking than the sneaker-type shoes (MBT or other) or boxy shoes that I have to wear. They are gorgeous and, in fact, I always refer to them as my Michael Jackson shoes because they look like something I think he would have worn. My feet feel supported very well by these and other MBTs. I can't afford MBTs or other top quality comfort shoes so I get them rarely, treat them well and won't subject them to inclement weather so I canno attest to their endurance in wet weather. Even so, they have had plenty of use and have held up nicely and the patent portions are still gorgeous and show no signs of cracking. I love them. I really do.
I bought the MBT's because I knew they were probably better in quality than the Skecher Shape-ups that everyone has. The shoes are great and you can really feel the difference once you put them on! I felt my posture improve and you do feel more of the toning when you walk. My only complaint is that this model runs a little small. I originally tried on the Maliza model which fits true to size. However, I liked the look of the Nama and bought them instead. Got blisters on the back of both my heels after 30 minutes of walking and the velcro doesn't allow too much room to loosen the fit the way laces do. And of course, no refunds on worn shoes. I'm hoping they stretch a bit and will become more comfortable because I do love the muscle toning the shoes provide. Would recommend MBT's - but maybe a different model!
My feet have problems. The front part of my feet are spread out while the back half and heel are narrow. I also have hammertoes and pains in my arches. These are very comfortable MBT shoes. I have only been able to wear the big MBT sandal that I can adjust in all 3 strapped areas (ankle, toe, and heel). The Nama shoe does not have quite the big "rocking" sole area as other MBTs; but, the "rocking" sole area still is enough to feel good while not being quite so rounded. . The 3 straps on top help to adjust for fit (great for narrow feet while also providing width where needed). The shoe is also good looking. I would buy another pair in black if they were on sale. I wanted to buy a pair of these earlier but could not afford at the full price.

(June 12, 2013)
NORMAN - A piece of German technology sold by a Norman pharmaceutical company has sparked the need for expansion into the city's business park.
Health Engineering Systems, founded by pharmacists Rob and Lisa Standridge, sells the Unguator, a modern-day equivalent of the mortar and pestle used by pharmacists over the centuries. Unguator, in German, means "to mix ointments," Rob Standridge said, and it simplifies the compounding process for busy pharmacists.
"It's like a malt machine - it mixes around and around and up and down, and you have to buy the patented jars to go with it," he said. "Pharmacists are very busy, and they have to take time away from other work to mix something. Our machine automates the process."
The Unguator is specifically designed for compounding lotions, creams and ointments, Standridge said. The machine comes in three sizes, but 80 percent of his clients use the middle-range Unguator, which costs about $2,500, he said. The large machine, which can hold up to 1,000 milliliters, runs $3,500, he said.
Standridge has sold about 5,000 of the Unguators to independent pharmacies, and he's broken into the chain world by selling to 800 Walgreen pharmacies, he said.
The primary use for the Unguator is hormone replacement creams and lotions, Standridge said. Pharmacists also compound creams or gels for hospice use, when patients often can't swallow a pill. The veterinary world also performs a lot of compounding to create dosages for animals of all sizes, he said.
The Unguator simplifies the compounding process for pharmacists because the machine carries out the bulk of the work, Standridge said. It has two motors - one on bottom moving the jar up and down and one on top spinning a mixing blade around.
"The blade touches the outer wall, so you don't lose anything," he said. "It touches the whole mix."
But the biggest benefit is the time it saves, Standridge said.
"The big problem has been that pharmacists would get started mixing something, then they would get called away," he said. "With our machine, the mixing takes a similar amount of time - about 10 to 20 minutes - but once you combine the ingredients and push a few buttons, you can go off and do other tasks. Smaller pharmacies especially would procrastinate doing big compounds because they would constantly get called away. Pharmacists are just too busy these days to process things manually."
The Unguator mixes prescriptions in the jar that is given to the patient; it only requires a label once it's done, Standridge said.
Jerrod Roberts, owner of Flourish Integrative Pharmacies in Oklahoma City, said he uses two Unguators in his compounding lab. He said the machines save him time and provide consistency.
"We send things off for quality control testing, and they always come back great," Roberts said. "We feel confident that it's being mixed consistently."
The design of the Unguator also leads to less contamination of the prescription at a patient's home, Standridge said. He conducted tests showing that when patients repeatedly dip their hands into a bottle to get the cream or ointment, the chance is higher for fungal growth. However, because the bottom of the Unguator bottle pushes up to the top - like a push-up Popsicle - there's no need for patients to dip in their hands.
Rob and Lisa Standridge started Health Engineering Systems in 2007 when they acquired the licensing for the Unguator technology, which he estimates is in 17,000 of Germany's 20,000 pharmacies. The couple are the only suppliers of Unguator products in North and South America, and he said they hope to one day manufacture them here.
They are building a 17,000-square-foot, $2.5 million facility to house their growing company in the Norman Business Park.
The expansion will house their other pharmaceutical ventures - a software and Web development company, RS Software, and LegendCare Pharmacy, which specializes in prescriptions for assisted-living centers, nursing homes and other institutional care.
