Sept. 20, 2000
TEMPE, Ariz. --Academics has long been an integral and outstanding part of the Arizona State University baseball program. Long after players leave the rich tradition of the program, the academic integrity of the university and the program remain as several players from the past are back at ASU completing their college degrees.
Nine former ASU baseball players and four current Sun Devils are nearing completion of their college degrees, and are scheduled to graduate in coming semesters. The list of current players who will graduate this year includes All-American catcher Casey Myers and four-year starter Jeff Phelps. Myers, who was the 2000 Pac-10 Player of the Year and the GTE CoSIDA Baseball Academic All-American of the year, is scheduled to graduate in May, 2001 with a degree in Mathematics and Economics.
Phelps, who is a .344 career hitter for the Sun Devils, and a native of Yuma, Ariz., will also graduate in the spring with a major in Communications. The senior infielder was named to the Pac-10 all-academic team last year with a 3.41 GPA. Ty Johnson, a catcher and pitcher for Pat Murphy's club, has already completed his degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in history, and is nearing his Master's in Curriculum and Instruction in Secondary Education. Johnson is a native of Cherry Creek, Colo. The last current Sun Devil who will graduate this year is third baseman Mike Lopez. Lopez, who hit .370 for ASU last year after transferring from Yavapai JC, will graduate in December with a degree in Justice Studies.
The list of the nine former Sun Devils who are back on campus to complete their degrees is headed by former Pac-10 Player of the Year and current Seattle Mariner prospect Willie Bloomquist. The former Sun Devil hit .394 for his career and led the Sun Devils to a second-place showing at the 1998 College World Series. Bloomquist finished his second professional season with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers and was recently ranked as the top up-and-coming prospect in the Mariners' organization. The Port Orchard, Wash., native is one semester short of his degree.
Ian "Chip" Goeswisch (1996-99) is scheduled to graduate with a degree in Family Studies this fall. Goeswisch, who was former walk-on for the Sun Devils, is currently playing professional baseball in the Anaheim Angles farm system. Dustin Delucchi (1997-99) is also nearing his degree in Family Studies and will graduate in December.
Brian Berger (1999-2000) is only one-year removed from the program, but is finishing his degree in Exercise Science. Berger is expected to graduate in May and is helping out the ASU baseball team as a graduate assistant coach.
Wil Waldrip (1999-2000) is also just one-year removed from the program, and will graduate with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in May.
Jeff Cermak (1996-97) is one of several former ASU players playing professional in the Valley for the independent Valley Vipers Baseball Club. Cermak will graduate in May with a degree in History.
Phill Lowery (1996-98), who was an integral part of the 1998 College World Series team on the mound, is 26 hours short of his Communications degree and is scheduled to graduate in May.
Greg Halvorson (1996-98) is using his offseason away from professional baseball to complete his degree in Finance. Halvorson, who played last year with the Capital City Bombers in the New York Mets system last year, is expected to receive his diploma in December.
Widd Workman (1996) was a right-handed pitcher for the Sun Devils in 1996, appearing in 14 games, while starting 11. Workman, who was 3-3 in his career at ASU, is back completing his degree in Exercise Science.

The Two Bells Bar & Grill Restaurant Review: Locals from nearby artists' lofts and pricey high-rise condos go to this funky, unpretentious tavern to enjoy beer and a burger. Featuring freshly-ground beef, the juicy burgers are served on French baguettes with your choice of potato salad, potato chips, baked beans, coleslaw, or a well-prepared soup of the day. That's right---no fries, but we guarantee you won't miss them. Our favorite burgers include the Tavern Burger topped with bacon and grilled onions or a variation smothered with blue cheese. There's also a tasty chicken burger, a salmon burger, and classic Caesar salad and a respectable lasagna. In the dessert category, homemade pies include maple blueberry, Key lime, and a decidedly decadent chocolate cream. A fair selection of microbrews, a small but surprisingly well chosen list of wines, plus a full bar are available. Service is friendly and welcoming, although not especially fast. The 21-and-over tavern doesn't offer much in the way of notable décor, but that's part of its charm.

Persons without disabilities must evacuate to the nearest exit. Persons with disabilities have five basic evacuation options.
• Horizontal evacuation: Use building exits to the outside ground level or go into unaffected wings of multi-building complexes.
• Stairway evacuation: Use steps to reach ground level exits from the building.
• Stay in Place Unless danger is imminent, remain in a room with an exterior window, a telephone, and a solid or fire-resistant door. With this approach, the person may keep in contact with emergency services by dialing 911 and reporting his or her location directly. Emergency services will immediately relay this location to on-site emergency personnel, who will determine the necessity for evacuation. Phone lines are expected to remain in service during most building emergencies. If the phone lines fail, the individual can signal from the window by waving a cloth or other visible object.
The Stay in Place approach may be more appropriate for sprinkler protected buildings or buildings where an "area of refuge" is not nearby or available. It may also be more appropriate for an occupant who is alone when the alarm sounds. A "solid" or fire-resistant door can be identified by a fire label on the jamb and frame. Non-labeled 1-3/4 inch thick solid core wood doors hung on a metal frame also offer good fire resistance.
• Area of Refuge With an evacuation assistant, move to an area of refuge away from obvious danger. The evacuation assistant will then go to the building evacuation assembly point and notify the on-site emergency personnel of the location of the person with a disability. Emergency personnel will determine if further evacuation is necessary.
Usually, the safest areas of refuge are pressurized stair enclosures common to high-rise buildings, and open-air exit balconies. Other possible areas of refuge include: fire rated corridors or vestibules adjacent to exit stairs, and pressurized elevator lobbies. Many campus buildings feature fire rated corridor construction that may offer safe refuge. Taking a position in a rated corridor next to the stair is a good alternative to a small stair landing crowded with the other building occupants using the stairway. For assistance in identifying Areas of Refuge, call EH&S Building and Fire Safety at (206) 543-0465.
For false or needless alarms or an isolated and contained fire, a person with a disability may not have to evacuate. The decision to evacuate will be made by the Seattle Fire Department (SFD). The SFD will tell the individual their decision or relay the information via the University of Washington Police Department (UWPD).
• Assisted Evacuation Device In the event of a major earthquake or other campus-wide event that would prevent first responders from responding quickly, an assisted evacuation device such as a chair, can be used by trained personnel to evacuate mobility disabled persons.
Prior planning and practicing of emergency evacuation routes are important in assuring a safe evacuation. In addition, helpers and others who may assist those with disabilities are reminded to always ask someone with a disability how you can help before attempting any rescue technique or giving assistance. Ask how he or she can best be assisted or moved.
Persons using wheelchairs should stay in place, or move to an area of refuge with their assistant when the alarm sounds. The evacuation assistant should then proceed to the evacuation assembly point outside the building and tell SFD or UWPD the location of the person with a disability. If the person with a disability is alone, he/she should phone emergency services at 911 with their present location and the area of refuge they are headed to.
If a stair landing is chosen as the area of refuge, please note that many campus buildings have relatively small stair landings, and wheelchair users are advised to wait until the heavy traffic has passed before entering the stairway.
Stairway evacuation of wheelchair users should be conducted by trained professionals (SFD). Only in situations of extreme danger should untrained people attempt to evacuate wheelchair users. Moving a wheelchair down stairs is never safe.
Evacuation devices such as evacuation chairs may be used when first responders are unavailable. This could occur following a campus-wide emergency such as an earthquake or weapons of mass destruction (WMD) event. The following requirements must be met when using evacuation devices:
Persons with mobility impairments, who are able to walk independently, may be able to negotiate stairs in an emergency with minor assistance. If danger is imminent, the individual should wait until the heavy traffic has cleared before attempting the stairs. If there is no immediate danger (detectable smoke, fire, or unusual odor), the person with a disability may choose to stay in the building, using the other options, until the emergency personnel arrive and determine if evacuation is necessary.
Some buildings on campus are equipped with fire alarm strobe lights; however, many are not. Persons with hearing impairments may not hear audio emergency alarms and will need to be alerted of emergency situations. Emergency instructions can be given by writing a short explicit note to evacuate.
Reasonable accommodations for persons with hearing impairments may be met by modifying the building fire alarm system, particularly for occupants who spend most of their day in one location. Persons needing such accommodation should contact Disability Services Office (leaves EH&S Web site).
Most people with a visual impairment will be familiar with their immediate surroundings and frequently traveled routes. Since the emergency evacuation route is likely different from the commonly traveled route, persons who are visually impaired may need assistance in evacuating. The assistant should offer their elbow to the individual with a visual impairment and guide him or her through the evacuation route. During the evacuation the assistant should communicate as necessary to assure safe evacuation.
People with speech impairments can hear standard alarms and voice announcements, and they can see visual indicators that warn of danger and the need to evacuate. Therefore, no special accommodations or additional planning is needed for speech impaired persons.
People with cognitive impairments can hear standard alarms and see visual indicators of the need to evacuate. However, the ability to recognize, understand, and respond appropriately to fire alarms and other emergency notification systems, as well as the ability to locate exits in an emergency should be evaluated. Plans for assistance may need to be developed by the department.
These guidelines are designed to complement the Departmental Emergency Evacuation and Operations Plan (EEOP) and Emergency Response Management Plan,, and to provide general information and promote planning. If you have any questions contact the Disability Resources for Students Office at (206) 543-8924 (V/TDD).
A brochure can be made available in alternate formats for persons with disabilities. Please contact the Disability Services Office with any requests at least 10 days in advance: (206) 543�6450 (Voice); (206) 543-6452 (TTY); (206) 685-3885 (FAX); email@example.com (e-mail).

Women's Basketball Falls To URI, 60-59, In 1st Annual Field Trip To Mullins Day
Feb. 17, 2005
AMHERST, Mass. - Safi Mojidi's jumper with eight seconds left gave Rhode Island (6-18, 4-9 A-10) a 60-59 win over Massachusetts (13-11, 6-7) before 1,597 fans Thursday afternoon in the first annual Field Trip To Mullins Day. Freshman Pam Rosanio (Southampton, Pa,) led four double-figure UMass scorers with 16 points. After making 11 of its first 13 shots, the Minutewomen were just 10-for-33 the rest of the way. There were 10 lead changes and three ties in the final 5:28 of the game.
Hot shooting from the opening tip allowed the Minutewomen to get off to a quick start. UMass made 11 of its first 13 shots and got out to a 26-10 lead in the first 11 minutes. The Minutewomen recorded 11 assists on the 11 field goals. Rhode Island then picked up a couple of quick baskets off its full-court press and cut the lead into single-digits. The two teams exchanged baskets for the remainder of the half as play settled down and the Minutewomen took a 33-23 lead at halftime.
The Rams cut the UMass lead to four, 41-37, with 12:30 left in the second half. Rhode Island then got within one point, 44-43, with 7:34 left and eventually took their first lead of the game on a three-point play by Katie Stailing at the 5:28 mark. Rosanio answered right back for the Minutewomen however on a lay-up. The teams then took turns grabbing the lead until redshirt junior Katie Nelson (Ellicott City, Md.) was fouled taking a three-pointer with 3:25 left and the Minutewomen trailing by one at 53-52. She made two out of three free throws. On the next URI possession, Safi Mojidi converted a three-point play to give it a 56-54 lead. The next UMass possession led to free throws by Rosanio as Katie Stailing fouled out. Rosanio made just one though and the Rams took the ball back still up a point.
After both teams came up empty on its next two possessions, Rhode Island had the ball and just over a minute remaining. Peta Kneen missed a three-pointer and UMass got the ball back. After a missed shot by freshman Kate Mills (Elkton, Md.), Rosanio got the offensive rebound and was fouled by Kneen. It was her fifth foul and sent Rosanio to the line with a chance to give UMass the lead back with 39 seconds left in regulation. Rosanio made them both and UMass had a 57-56 lead. The Rams got the ball back, crossed half court and called its final timeout 36 seconds left in regulation. Tanya Rhodes hit a fade-away jumper and gave the Rams the lead again, 58-57, with 18 seconds left.
After a UMass timeout, Mills was fouled on the inbound pass and went to the line. Mills made them both with 15 seconds left. Mojidi came right back down and hit a shot to give the Rams a one-point lead again. On the ensuing UMass possession, Rosanio's game-winning attempt at the buzzer was blocked by Mojidi and Rhode Island gave UMass just its third home loss of the season.
UMass senior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) added 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting and also grabbed nine rebounds and dished out six assists. Mills had 12 points and four boards, while Nelson had 11 points and three assists. UMass shot 46 percent from the field for the game and had 21 turnovers. Rhode Island shot 46 percent as well and had 15 turnovers. The Rams outscored the Minutewomen, 37-26, in the second half as it marked the most points allowed by UMass in a second half this year. UMass had 18 assists and nine steals.
Mojidi led the Rams with 17 points while Rhodes added 12.
Massachusetts continues its three-game home stand Sunday by hosting Richmond at the Mullins Center. Tip-off is slated for 2:00 PM and the game will be broadcast on WMUA, 91.1 FM and on the Internet at www.umassathletics.com. For tickets, please call 1-866-UMASS-TIX or visit the Mullins Center Box Office.

This is so cool!
Holy reunion!
kind of glad of damian not being in it, lol, not a damian fan much, but I love how dick, Jason and timmy are in there in their robin suits
What's the deal with the redhead?
This is great! I agree that it always annoyed me that Jason didn't have his own unique Robin costume.
All the Robins!!
Well done!
Wow... Only one or three words can sum this up... EPIC AS HELL! Nice job. Shading is awesome, the detail is absolutely AMAZING... only thing is I don't see Nightwing- *shot* XD kidding, but still Nigthwing counts... Right? Then again you put Dick Grayson as Robin, so that's cool too.
oh yeah i love nightwing i just wanted to focus mainly on the Robins and batgirls
Dude that is one awesome how did it take you to draw and color this?I'm not kidding this amazing!

This is pretty nice! I like the layout you did of this, keep it up!
Nice overall kinda sad that Batwing and Terry aren't in this though. Also for Dick making him Nightwing would have differentiated him.
The gang's (almost) all here - awesome work! I really like your choice of costume for Jason, in my mind he's the Robin who most suits the angsty red and black colour scheme.

Nestled high above the ground in a sea of evergreens just outside the Bellevue city center is place one would not expect to find. In fact, when you arrive at the Community Center in Eastgate Park, the adventure that awaits still eludes you. That is until you hear a faint buzz from above and then laughter floating down through the leaves. You look up to find someone flying through the trees, hands up, spinning, laughing, zipping to the platform of the next tree, greeted by friends, family and colleagues cheering them on. A full zip line course all right outside the bustling city center in a quiet neighborhood.
The group visiting today is from a dental office, traveling through the city for the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference. In a team building exercise, the staff of Jilek Family Dentistry dropped in for a visit. A mix of those who have never ziplined before and those who had, it served a great platform to spend some fun time together and encourage and support each other to face the tasks ahead with no fear.
The course consists of 6 ½ runs with a few long runs, a few really fast runs and a whole lot of fun. While completing the 2 ½ hour tour, the guides always make sure you are 100% secure and fill you with knowledge of the surrounding environment. On this visit, adventure seekers were treated to some amazing lichen, rich colorful moss, beautiful ferns, flowers and the pitter patter of raindrops tapping the canopy above.
When asked about her experience, Dental Assistant Isabel Hernandez says, "It was amazing, everybody should take the time do this." Ziplining offers a unique experience and viewpoint that you don't get to see in day to day life. It also provides groups an outlet to work together, support one another, conquer fears and be a team. Dr. Spencer Jilek says, "I really enjoyed our ziplining adventure. The scenery was beautiful and our guides were terrific. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something exciting to do as a group."

Congratulations to the winner of the 2015 WGS HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai this weekend.
Equipped with Lamkin UTx grips on his clubs, the 7th reserve for this prestigious tournament secured a two stroke victory with a final round 68. This win was the hard working Scot's first victory on either the European or PGA Tour and the first Scottish win in a WGC event.
UTx grips feature Lamkin's proprietary Tri-Layer technology. Made with three functional layers, UTx grips deliver unparalleled comfort and control in all conditions. A softer base of Lamkin ACE 3GEN material combined with a middle full cord layer and a top layer of firmer ACE 3GEN gives the stability and traction of a high performance grip required by Tour professionals along with superior levels of comfort.
The performance and comfort of the Lamkin UTx has made the Lamkin UTX one of the fastest growing grips on the PGA and European Tour with dozens of players switching since its introduction in 2014.
Working for Lamkin, I'm often asked to test out our new golf grips, and rightfully so! It's one of the perks of the job. But testing out the Wrap-Tech golf grip was more of a stretch for me. I'm just not a wrap grip player. After a good deal of prodding, however, I finally threw them on my woods. I wish I would have put them on sooner. I'M CONVERTED!
Traditionally for me, cord golf grips that are very firm worked best. I bounced between the Crossline Full-Cord and UTx, switching back to Crossline in the end. I have a high swing speed, and sweat a lot. Which made traditional wrap golf grips a no-go. You can understand why I was hesitant to put our new Wrap-Tech on my gamers. Nonetheless, I obliged.
Uncommon in San Diego, I was faced with cold-weather, rain and wind in my first round out with the new golf grips. On the first tee, I pulled out my driver and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of tack and the feel of the grip. It basically stuck to my glove. My first drive was a bomb down the right side of the fairway. Great start, but I was going to need more convincing if these golf grips are going to end up on all of my clubs. It only took five holes until I was completely SOLD. [Not unlike Miguel Angel Jimenez who, after only 15 holes with Wrap-Tech on his clubs, made a hole-in-one] Monday morning was spent regripping golf clubs. My only regret is not switching to Wrap-Tech sooner.
A New Year inevitably brings new resolutions. We're guessing that playing better golf and lowering your handicap is on the resolution list for more than a few golfers. At Lamkin, we understand your obsession and we're here to help you achieve even the loftiest of your golf goals. Our 2015 portfolio is filled with golf grips engineered to enhance your performance and ultimately lead to a more consistent and enjoyable game for all golfers.
This grip is incredibly TACKY! You have to feel them to believe it. In addition to the super-tacky feel of the patented ACE material, Wrap-Tech features a dual texture surface to provide maximum grip comfort and control. If you love a wrap-style golf grip that performs in all-weather, be sure to give these a shot.
UTx Wrap and UTx Mega Paddle Putter
As one of the fastest growing new grips on Tour, Lamkin's UTx quickly became a favorite among top players around the world. The line has been expanded to include a wrap-style and putter grip, both featuring proprietary Tri-Layer Technology, so that more golfers can experience the distinctive feel and performance of UTx.
Lamkin's revolutionary new putter grip features functional hand alignment guides to promote consistent hand placement and an oversized, flat-front shape to minimize wrist movement. Whether you putt using a reverse overlap, cross-handed, or claw putting grip style, this grip is sure to have you rolling putts better than ever.
What a Ryder Cup! The tournament always brings out the fire and spirit of the greatest golfers in the world. It creates the same emotions in golf fans, and ignited the same passion here at Lamkin. That passion influenced us to create special-edition golf grips, inspired by Team U.S.A., Team Europe, and the spirit of The Ryder Cup.
The limited-edition Team U.S.A. golf grip represents a blend of Team USA and Keegan Bradley. Keegan plays our Crossline ACE 3GEN Full-Cord. We made the Crossline in a RED ACE 3GEN material with a WHITE Crossline pattern and Lamkin logo. To complete the look it features a blue cap and trim rings. The special-edition grip bares a stark resemblance to the American flag and screams U.S.A. For golfers looking for maximum tack and torsion control, the Crossline ACE 3GEN is perfect for you.
Team Europe and Justin Rose are the inspiration behind the design of Lamkin's special-edition Team Europe golf grip. We created a NAVY BLUE R.E.L. ACE 3GEN, highlighted by Team-Europe-YELLOW Lamkin logo and trim rings. Justin uses our black R.E.L. ACE 3GEN with a reduced taper under the right hand, accented by his special blue cap. R.E.L. comes in our widest assortment of colors and sizes while the ACE 3GEN material makes it extremely tacky and reduces vibration, helping minimize the risk of injury while golfing.
The Team U.S.A. and Team Europe grips were available EXCLUSIVELY to the winners of our social-media contests. Visit us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for tips, news, product launches, and access to special-edition grips like these.
For the first time since 1973, and for only the second time in the history of The Ryder Cup, Scotland plays host to the greatest tournament in match-play golf. The world's best golfers are set and golf fans around the world are eagerly anticipating every nail-biting moment. Here at Lamkin, we share the same enthusiasm and have a deep respect for Ryder Cup tradition.
For decades, Lamkin provided some of the best Ryder Cup competitors with their grips and this year is no exception. Representing both the U.S. and Europe team, Lamkin is the grip of choice for Keegan Bradley and Justin Rose. We are often asked 'what type of grips do Tour players use?' so we thought this would be a good opportunity to take a closer look…
Team USA
The 2011 PGA Tour rookie of the year, Keegan Bradley, is the first Captain's pick for Team USA. He was paired with Phil in his debut, winning three matches. When he arrives at Gleneagles, he will face a tough course, harder competition, and unpredictable weather throughout the tournament. His golf grip, Lamkin's Crossline ACE 3GEN Full-Cord individually weighed to ensure exact gram specs within his specified tolerance, will ensure a confident grip no matter the opponent or conditions.
This exact grip is available EXCLUSIVELY at shop.LamkinGrips.com
Team Europe
World Ranked number 5, Justin Rose makes his third appearance for Team Europe at The Ryder Cup. With a 6-3 record, and coming off a good season, he is sure to be a key component for Europe. The courses are challenging, due to uneven fairways, thick rough and small-deep-bunkers. Precision is a must. Trajectory and distance control are key to successful rounds. Justin will be armed with Lamkin's R.E.L. ACE 3GEN with a reduced taper that makes the grip larger under the bottom hand. At Justin's request, the grip also features a unique blue cap. His confidence in his golf grip will allow him to execute the shots necessary for success at Gleneagles…regardless of weather conditions.
If you want the same FEEL on your clubs that Justin has on his own, you can order them exclusively at shop.LamkinGrips.com
Developed by Lamkin chemists, the patented ACE 3GEN technology is a super-tacky and vibration dampening grip materail created to give players a more confident and comfotable connection to their clubs. The unique feel of the ACE 3GEN materials promotes the ideal tension-free grip needed for increased distance and improved shot consistency.
Leading golf's current color trend, Lamkin Grips will release several additional color options in the R.E.L. 3GEN Standard, Midsize and Oversize models. The expansion of the R.E.L. 3GEN golf grip line will include a neon pink option in a standard size model, as well as a red, blue, orange, gray and electric blue option in both the midsize and oversize models. Golfers who play with non-standard size grips will certainly celebrate the addition of more color options in such a popular golf grip. The R.E.L. 3GEN grip has already earned rave reviews from golfers for its amazing feel, tackiness and durability. With more color and size options than any other golf grip in the market, the R.E.L. 3GEN expansion will undoubtedly lead to even more glowing reviews from golfers around the world. Combined with a comfortable and no-slip surface pattern, the R.E.L. grip is manufactured with Lamkin's patent-pending 3GEN technology that provides unmatched vibration dampening and extraordinary grip durability. The design of the grip was created to maximize surface area contact with a golfer's hand to ensure a confident, controlled connection between the golfer and their club. Lamkin's 2013 grip collection will be available through golf specialty, online retailers and green grass shops beginning in November 2012.Products
Lamkin\'s famous Crossline golf grip has been a best-seller and Tour favorite for nearly 15 years. Currently used on millions of golf clubs around the world, the intersecting (\"crossing\") lines on the Crossline grip have become one of the most recognizable patterns in golf. Because of the enormous volume of Crossline grips produced every year, Lamkin continually upgrades the molding equipment to ensure we provide our customers with the highest quality and most durable golf grips. Over the years, as this equipment is upgraded, the lines of the Crossline pattern became slightly wider than the original design. After a lengthly process of testing and reviewing different iterations of the pattern, Lamkin made the decision to return to the specifications of the original Crossline design. While the difference between the two patterns is quite subtle, it is distinct enough to be noticed by our more attentive customers. The renewed \"Classic\" Crossline grips started shipping this summer and will be available in stores later this year. If you have any questions about the change,Products
Inspired by Lamkin's E.B.L. 3GEN putter grips, the new line of Odyssey putters feature a very colorful assortment of grip options. The Odyssey putter grips are designed with a dual surface pattern for the ultimate in comfort and hand traction, plus the unmatched advantages of 3GEN technology. Check out what their Facebook fans thought of the new super-cool new colors.Products
Golf analyst and author Gary McCord, whose irreverent and self-deprecating style has earned him fans worldwide, has recorded a four-part video series designed to help players maximize Lamkin Grips' new Performance Plus 3GEN Wedge golf grip. The witty and knowledgeable Champions Tour player loaned his expertise to Lamkin's online education program that breaks down wedge play into quick, easy to understand lessons. Comparing club shafts to pencils and hammers, McCord demonstrates how users gain greater control the further they choke down on whatever is in their grasp. By adding an inch to its grip length and maintaining a wider grip base, McCord shows viewers how Lamkin's new Wedge Grip promotes a choked down grip to improve short-game play. Throughout the video series, McCord also elaborates on concepts including hand action, swing power, grip size, as well as the differences between soft and firm grips (and when to use which). Lamkin's new video series featuring Gary McCord can be seen on the company's channel at www.YouTube.com/lamkingrips.Grip Tips
A radically advanced wedge club deserves a radically advanced grip. So when selecting the grip that best complements TaylorMade's ATV (All-Terrain Versatility) Wedge, the company chose Lamkin's new Performance Plus Wedge Grip. Constructed to improve short-game play, this Wedge Grip is one inch longer than standard grips and features a reduced taper, facilitating proper hand position and traction when choking down on the club. "Golf equipment manufacturers take painstaking measures to deliver accuracy on the course, and grips are no exception," explains Lamkin CEO Bob Lamkin. "Just as TaylorMade designed the new ATV Wedge to perform during critical scoring shots, Lamkin's Wedge Grip is designed to work seamlessly with the club ensuring maximum control and precision." TaylorMade's ATV Wedge is masterfully engineered, and as such required a grip that could facilitate fairway, chip and bunker shots alike to maximize the club's utility. Taylor Made selected the Performance Plus Wedge Grip in black, with a traditional white TaylorMade logo, , to cap off its latest release. This first-of-its-kind wedge grip is crafted to promote proper hand position and tension needed to achieve better short-game results.Products
Looking for the perfect gift for the female golfer in your life? If so, you\'ve come to the right place. Lamkin Grips proudly expanded its 2012 product line to include several new styles and materials designed exclusively for female golfer. R.E.L. 3GEN golf grips have been expanded to include neon-pink and neon-purple, both featuring a super-soft 3GEN material ONLY available in these two color options. The stylish Crossline undersize is now available in a stylish and on-trend pink version. Looking for something more traditional? The classic style and unmatched durability of the Lamkin X10 golf grip is a great choice, and now available in an undersize model. With more sizes, colors and materials, Lamkin is proud to offer the perfect performance-enhancing golf grips to every golfer.Products
Complimenting Odyssey\'s new line of Metal-X putters is the exclusive Lamkin 3GEN pistol putter grip. The grip was selected for its superior vibration-dampening properties found exclusively in the 3GEN synthetic rubber material. It\'s also one of Lamkin\'s tackiest and most comfortable golf grips. The new Metal-X putter grip, created exclusively for Odyssey, was inspired by Lamkin\'s E.B.L. 3GEN putter grip, also featuring the performance-enhancing benefits of the 3GEN material. Featuring a unique dual surface-pattern design, the grip has quickly become a Lamkin best-seller with golfers from around the world making the switch.Products
Do you know what brand of grips you're playing with? You'd be surprised how many people actually have Lamkin grips on their clubs yet don't even know it. We've been providing grips to all the major club manufacturers for years. Chances are though, you won't see the Lamkin logo on them. We're hoping to see that change. And speaking of change, if you want to change your game, change your grips. It's a relatively inexpensive way to feel like you have a set of new clubs. If you're grips are worn, if you've played over 40 rounds with them, or if you're holding on for dear life to prevent your hands from slipping, it's time for new grips. Our 3GEN grips with patent pending technology stay tacky in all weather conditions–even snow. (Okay, we haven't really tested them in snow, but be the first and let us know.)Products

Cellars in the Sky Awards 2011 announced
Published: 06/02/2012 - Filed under: News »
The winners of the Business Traveller's Cellars in the Sky airline wine awards 2011 have been revealed, with Qantas triumphing in six categories, and Delta, Jetstar, LAN, Qatar Airways, TAM, Emirates, Air France and Cathay Pacific also winning awards.
This year's awards were presented by Charles Metcalfe, head of the judging panel and co-chairman of the International Wine Challenge, at an event at the Grosvenor Hotel, London Victoria.
The awards recognise the best business and first class wines served by airlines worldwide, with around 250 wines entered by a total of 32 carriers.
Qantas walked away with awards for Business Class Red, First Class Sparkling, Wine List Presentation, Business Class Cellar, First Class Cellar and Consistency of Wines. The carrier also placed second in a further five categories, while Qantas subsidiary Jetstar Airways was joint winner of the Business Class White category with Delta Airlines.
Cathay Pacific bagged two awards for First Class Fortified and Airline with the Most Improved Business Class Cellar, while TAM also walked away with two awards for First Class Red and Airline with the Most Improved First Class Cellar. For a full list of winners and shortlisted carriers click here.
Business Traveller contacted more than 75 airlines in the summer of 2011, inviting them to enter two white wines, two red wines, one sparkling and one fortified or sweet wine, from both business and first class. Airlines didn't have to enter all the categories, but to be eligible for a Best Cellar prize they had to submit at least one red, one white and one sparkling.
Blind tastings took place over two days on November 17 and 18 at London's Radisson Blu Portman Hotel in London, with five judges independently scoring them. The judges were:
- Charles Metcalfe, TV wine presenter and co-chairman of the International Wine Challenge
- Tim Atkin, Master of Wine
- Sam Harrop, Master of Wine and winemaking consultant
- Peter McCombie, Master of Wine and accredited tutor for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust
- John Worontschak, leading winemaker and wine business development consultant
The airlines that took part were: Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air France, Air New Zealand, Alitalia, All Nippon Airways, American Airlines, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Delta Airlines, Emirates, Eva Airways, Finnair, Gulf Air, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Jetstar Airways, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air, LAN, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, TAM, US Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
How much does the wine offering in premium cabins influence your choice of carrier? Take part in our survey here.

Interesting that the wine tastings were held in the Portman Hotel when there has been lots of talk recently about the way food and drink taste very different whilst in flight. Perhaps the tasters will take to the skies this year?
ljrichards1 - 09/02/2012 12:47
How did Jetstar win a Biz Class wine award? They're a low-cost, all-economy, SEAsia-centric carrier that serves Chardonnay-in-a-Can. A real stunner if they won an award for Biz Class White; unfortunate if you didn't proof your copy.
BusinessTraveller - 09/02/2012 14:43
Thanks for your comment ljrichards1. Jetstar does have a business class cabin on international flights, with a free food and beverage offering (which is one of the criteria for entries). More information on this can be seen here:
ljrichards1 - 10/02/2012 12:43
Wow... I stand fully corrected. I've flown them a number of times around the region, and have never seen anything other than their standard A32X with 3-3 seating. They do have a business class on selected routes... I'm assuming that their award for wine means that their Biz Class doesn't serve their standard wine... THANKS!

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Bradley men's and women's cross country teams both turned in historic performances at the Missouri Valley Conference Championships two weeks ago and look to do the same Friday afternoon at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Ames, Iowa.
The women's team finished second at the Valley Championship in Des Moines, Iowa, back on Nov. 2, for the team's best finish at the league championship since 2002. The men's squad, which placed 17th in the region last year for the team's best showing since 2007, had its best finish at the 2013 MVC Championship in over two decades (1989) with a fourth-place finish.
Friday's action is slated to begin at noon with the men's 10K, with the women's 6K scheduled to start at 1:15 p.m. at the Iowa State Cross Country Course. The top two teams and top four individuals not on those squads receive an automatic spot in the NCAA Cross Country Championship, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 23 in Terre Haute, Ind.
On the women's side, junior Sarah McMahon (Colfax, Wis./Colfax) will be vying for all-region honors for the second straight year after a second-place finish at the Valley Championship. The second three-time all-conference cross country runner in school history, McMahon set the Bradley 6K record earlier this season at the Bradley Classic (20:54) and is coming off a career-best 5K time of 17:28.5 at the MVC Championship earlier this month. McMahon was 22nd at the NCAA Regional last year for the best individual finish for the Braves since 2002.
Sophomore Kristen Busch (Waterloo, Ill./Freeburg) earned all-conference honors after a sixth-place finish at the Valley meet and owns the second-best 5K and 6K times in school history. Junior Emily Delvo (Springfield, Ill./Sacred Heart Griffin) is also expected to be near the front of the BU pack following her seventh-place finish and all-conference honors at the league championship, while MVC Freshman of the Year Casey Kramer (Yorkville, Ill./Yorkville) will also help pace the Braves.
"Our women's team is looking forward to running up to their potential this weekend," said Bradley head coach Marc Burns. "We have been ranked in the top six in the region most of the year and they really want to run a smart, solid race to show that we belong up in the top five in the region. McMahon has a good shot to make it to national championships and knows she needs to be in the top-ten overall to have a chance at being in the top four individuals. Both Kristen (Busch) and Emily (Delvo) feel like they can earn all-region honors with a good, strong performance. This team is not satisfied with getting second at the Valley meet two weeks ago and wants to bounce back with a big team race on Friday."
Junior Eric Delvo (Springfield, Ill./Sacred Heart Griffin) posted the fastest 8K by a Bradley individual since 1983 at the MVC Championship to lead the men's team and was the team's top finisher for the Braves at last season's NCAA Regional. He took home all-conference honors after a seventh-place finish in Des Moines, Iowa, two weeks ago for the best individual finish for a BU runner since 1987.
Fellow junior Chase Coffey (Hanna City, Ill./Farmington) was 10th at the MVC Championship to earn all-league honors and will help lead a Bradley contingent which includes MVC Freshman of the Year Patrick Campbell (Wauwatosa, Wis./Wauwatosa) and sophomore Marshall Moyer (Burlington, Iowa/Burlington).
"The men's team is excited to put together a complete race on Friday and find its way into the top 15 teams," stated Burns. "We have been ranked in the top 15 most of the year and now it is time to earn that ranking. Chase and Eric have a good game plan set out to give them a chance to be all region. This is our first 10k of the year and they know it is important to be patient early in the race. The rest of the crew is pretty inexperienced at this meet and for us to achieve our team goal it will be key for them to work their way up into the top 80 with 2k to go. Over the last 2k it will be all about toughness and desire. If they answer the bell we could finish higher than our goal."

Microsoft Plays out its Patents in Suing TomTom
Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against TomTom. The navigation systems vendor is allegedly violating eight Microsoft patents, three involving Linux.
A report in TechFlash announced Microsoft's patent claim against the portable GPS car navigation vendor TomTom Inc. The company produces navigation devices based on Linux and the lawsuit alleges that they violated five MS patents, three of them specific to Linux:
- Patent 5,579,517, Common Name Space for Long and Short Filenames, issued November 1996
- Patent 5,758,352, Common Name Space for Long and Short Filenames, issued May 1998
- Patent 6,256,642, Method and System for File System Management Using a Flash-Erasable, Programmable, Read-only Memory, issued July 2001
Microsoft claims that it tried many times to reach an agreement with TomTom over the patent rights. Not hearing from them, Microsoft decided to go ahead with the lawsuit.
The Redmond company has claimed for years that Linux violated around 230 of its patents. How the current three fit into this category only the courts can decide. We'll see if TomTom wants to go so far as to settle outside of them.

Three boys who admitted to smoking both marijuana and K2, an illegal synthetic marijuana, suffered heart attacks after taking the drug, revealing new fears about the dangerous of synthetic drugs.
Case reports on the three boys, which were published in the December issue of Pediatrics, detail that the three teens-who were all 16 at the time-were admitted to the Children's Medical Center in Dallas with chest pain. Tests revealed that all three of the boys had heart attacks after taking the synthetic drugs.
Skeptics say the heart attacks may have been caused by other factors than the K2, but many are concerned about the toxicity of the substance and other synthetic cannabinoids currently out on the market. The drugs, which are often marketed as incense and sold in packets of herbs laced with synthetic marijuana at head shops and on the internet. The drugs goes by various names, including Spice, Spice Gold, Spice Diamond, Yucutan Fire, Solar Flare, Genie, PEP Spice and Fire n' Ice. The drugs can produce not only marijuana-like highs, but also agitation, anxiety, racing heart and elevated blood pressure.
The drug, which was developed in the 1990s, has become increasingly popular since 2009. At that time, poison control centers and hospitals began seeing illnesses arise as a result of smoking the drug. Already 16 states, including Texas, have outlawed the substance.
In March, the DEA made it temporarily illegal to possess or sell the drug, as well as four other drugs similar to it. That temporary measure is set to be in effect for one year. The Department of Health and Human Services is currently considering whether to permanently control the drugs.

Fall shorts can be a tricky affair. They're often nothing more than cut off versions of heavy trousers. We like the look of the Tweed Paperbag Trouser Short ($58) as a fall alternative. They're cut to flatter the feminine shape and actually have a style we admire.

for those who missed out on the £18 price its now gone up to £23 still cheaper than many others
for those who missed out on the £18 price its now gone up to £23 still cheaper than many others
That's awful news
Correct me if I'm wrong - but that was about 2 weeks ago?
Will the people who pre-ordered at the price of £17.99 still get it at that.
Woohoo, The saving of a tenner will make up for the inevitable delay of my game coming on the 30th.
Well, this is indeed bad news!
No need to be sarcastic. He started this thread to inform people who didnt know that the zavii price was increased.
I read somewher on the forum people saying that zavvi has now changed it all and it's 30 quid to guarantee that you get the game something very suspicious about how they operate a few mates have had the problem with them in the past I wouldn't use them myself no matter how cheap they were. usually if something is to good to be true usually its dodgy!!
Current status : Awaiting Stock Pick
Still as I said in another thread if not posted by Wednesday I'll cancel and either go for Steam or HMV depending how lazy I feel.
Dunno if it's even relevant, but I pre-ordered both FM10 and Forza 3 from Zavvi. My copy of Forza arrived 3 days prior to release in the shops!
With that in mind, I'd assume that there will be no delay in Zavvi getting the game out, it just remains to see whether the Post Office can deliver it.
Either way, I'm leaving my order with them. There is no way I can afford to pay £29.99 just to download the game on release day. Also, I doubt that I'll find much time to play FM in the next week or so anyway.
I pre ordered Pro Evo 10 and it was ment to come out last friday i think and i got it last wednesday so got no problem with them with that. although i wish i didnt get it as its cack.
just out of interest, how long did it take to show up on your account? I've ordered with zavvi a while back, but its still saying processing. would hope that its going to be picked and sent tomorrow, as some other companies seem to be dispacthing already.

The Awkwardness of the Palins on Oprah
It's the little moments that make it.
Bristol and Sarah Palin's appearances on Oprah today, via videoconference, was pretty much what you'd expect: platitudes from Sarah, avoidance from Bristol, and genuine — but subtle — disbelief emanating from the daytime guru herself. We've picked our two favorite moments. In the first, Sarah Palin makes a painfully awkward joke about Bristol promising never to have sex again until she gets married. "Hey, does that, does that, does that mean you're going marry pretty young?" Palin asks, simultaneously indicating that she understands how hard this promise is to keep, and also that she does not understand what kind of joke makes daughters want to commit self-harm. Then, at another point, Oprah can't stop saying that she's "bristled" about Bristol, which is maybe only funny to us.

|Check-in before
Stunning location and very helpful and charming hosts
The house was lovely with a beautiful private garden and veranda.The beach was a short walk away and historic sites were within easy driving distance. The area was quiet and agricultural and we enjoyed our stay.
The host was very friendly and helpful and I would recommend this property
The location of the apartment was amazing and our local host was a very nice lady from Siena. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful romantic time at Staffoli. Only con that I can think of is that we were charged with additional EUR 15 per person for final cleaning and EUR 10 for the internet. This, however, was known in advance.
We had a great experience in the apartment. The location was perfect, it was clean and cozy. Everything we could have wanted was there. Romina was also very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
We had a great time in Arbejales. This house is much better than in the pictures. Is in a great mountain location, 30-45 minutes to Las Palmas. The house is lovely decorated, clean and comfortable. If you are looking for absolutely silence - this is the place! Many thanks to Christian and his Family, everything was perfect.
The place was nice, except the bathroom design was awful, because the toilet is directly below the shower so it always gets wet! There is also no wifi which we were not happy about. Otherwise an ok place and ok location with good valporato links.
This apartment in Berlin was exactly as expected: very well-located, nice and clean rooms, good size! No complaints!
Location was great but the general standard of the apartment was poor.
- Quality of the furniture was poor.
- The bathroom was very poor, with broken tap, low water pressure and the switch between shower and bath not working.
- The TV signal wasn't working - only 2/3 channels
- Above stove extract not working
- Floor was quite dirty.
Needs refresh.
La ubicación del apartamento es inmejorable. Tranquilo, sin ruidos y familiar. La piscina es fantástica.
Como punto negativo, la dirección no está lo suficientemente clara, haría falta un mapa o alguna indicación extra. Tuvimos que llamar al anfitrión para que nos indicará porque no dábamos con el sitio. En relación al loft, la decoración es antigua y pasada de mona, de los 80.
Først en stor tak til famlien Kupka for deres venlighed og søde måde at være på. De får virkelig gæsterne til at føle sig hjemme og velkommen til Wien. Lejligheden ligger skønt og centralt. Lejligheden er hyggelig og meget personlig. Den dejlige terrasse så skøn og hyggelig,med muligheder for sol og skygge under den store plantede vin. Tak og på gensyn fra Torben og Lone København.

Father Vines is regarded as the pre-eminent hurricane scholar of the 19th century. As director of the observatory at Belen College in Havana in 1870, he catalogued meticulous weather observations and conditions, especially during tropical disturbances. His observations became a climatological catalog for future forecasts. Notations included excerpts expressing brick-red sunsets, pounding surf and evaporating cumulus clouds at the approach of a hurricane. His keen sense of weather allowed him to understand the dynamics of cyclones and by 1875 he issued accurate hurricane warnings. He is recognized as "Father Hurricane" and invented the Antilles Cyclonoscope for mariners. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

The 2006 season will mark the dawn of a new era for Arizona gymnastics. Gone is a class of six of the most successful gymnasts in program history, and in are seven young, yet very talented athletes. While experience may be lacking, the Wildcats will rely on their youth to provide a spark as the program looks to rebuild into a Pac-10 contender.
Behind the leadership of six seniors, the 2005 Wildcats placed second at the Pac-10 Championships last March en route to their 19th-consecutive NCAA Regional appearance. The team finished the season tied for 18th in the nation with a 24-11 record.
It may seem like a daunting task to match the success of recent squads, but Head Coach Bill Ryden has been here before. In fact, the Wildcats found themselves in a similar position just four years ago when last year's seniors entered the program.
"We didn't know quite what to expect," Ryden said. "But of course, history shows that they had amazing careers."
This year, 11 of the 14 gymnasts on the Arizona roster are either freshmen or sophomores. However, that doesn't mean talent is lacking.
"We definitely have some big shoes to fill," Ryden said. "You can't replace what those girls did for us last year. They were special to me. But this is a new era. We've got a new team and we're ready to go. On paper, we're very talented."
The Wildcats will look to their lone senior, Erin Muirhead, to provide leadership. Muirhead underwent surgery on her foot midway through last season, but has since recovered and returned to competition.
"Erin is back to training," Ryden said. "She was forced to stop halfway through the season last year. She is our team captain this year so it is really a positive that she's available."
Senior Team Captain Erin Muirhead
Senior Team Captain Erin Muirhead
Junior Aubrey Taylor, now one of the veterans on the team, will also be counted on bring consistency and leadership to the lineup. She, too, missed some time in the off-season after having thumb surgery, but isn't expected to be limited this season.
"Aubrey will certainly help fill a leadership role," Ryden said. "And she will do it as much by example. She's got the most competitive experience out there because she's been an all-arounder or at least a three-event competitor the last two years. She's been a major player the entire time she's been here."
Even though the Wildcats were led mainly by upperclassmen a year ago, a pair of freshmen stepped in and provided not only depth, but also consistent scoring in multiple events. Danielle Hicks and Karin Wurm became mainstays in the lineup, and Hicks even emerged as an all-around competitor half way through the season. Both return healthy this year, and have impressed the coaches thus far in their sophomore seasons.
Ryden expects Wurm, Hicks and Taylor to fill the void left by the departed seniors that were key contributors in multiple events last year.
"Danielle and Karin are really blossoming right now," said Ryden. "So, if all three of them are at the top of their game, then that would be literally half of our lineup taken care of by three very, very good athletes. Certainly, that would take away pressure if all three of those girls are consistent for us."
Also returning are junior Jamie Holton and sophomore Rachelle Silberg. Holton underwent shoulder surgery over the summer, and her impact is still uncertain heading into the year. The coaching staff would like to see her back performing on vault and floor as she did a year ago. Silberg is again expected to be a key contributor on the vault.
From here, the Wildcats have some questions, not in talent, but in what they can expect in performance on a consistent basis. Melanie Weiser returns after redshirting her freshmen year, and is joined by seven true freshmen. The newcomers have been impressive during the fall, but their spots in the lineup are still uncertain. What is certain is the fact that some of the freshmen will have to step in immediately and contribute.
"The freshmen are going to have to contribute whether we like it or not," Ryden said. "There will be no slow learning curve for them. All we can do is get them battle-tested in the gym, which is not all that easy, and then they will be learning and improving as the season goes on."
Two of the newcomers that the coaches are excited about are Sarah Parsons and Sarah Specht, but both may be limited slightly due to injury. Parsons (ankle) and Specht (elbow) could add much needed depth if fully healthy, as will classmates Alexis Greene, Suzanne Alvey, Erica Anderson, Bree Workman and Briana Bergeson.
"Both of the Sarah's are coming off of injury, and if they can come around certainly they will help us quite a bit," Ryden said. "Alexis looks really good as does Suzanne. Briana and Bree will probably compete in two to three events. Erica took a break over the summer, and is coming back trying to get her skills and add some depth."
One of the events the Wildcats will look for immediate freshmen help is on the vault. While four gymnasts return that contributed a year ago, the top three scorers have since departed. Katie Johnson averaged an amazing 9.840 per vault, while Monica Bisordi chipped in an average of 9.762 in the event. Those numbers will be tough to match, but the Wildcats will rely on steady improvement from their returning vaulters as well as solid scoring from their freshman class.
The top two returning vaulters are Silberg and Wurm. Silberg solidified herself a spot in the rotation early in the season last year and showed steady improvement throughout the year, sticking a 9.900 at the Pac-10 Championships.
Sophomore Karin Wurm
Wurm also stepped into the vault rotation early on and became the team's most consistent underclassman by season's end, averaging a score of 9.710.
A third freshman, Hicks, also was also a key contributor throughout the year. She has been working on a few new skills since the end of last year to boost her scoring.
"Right now, our two strongest vaulters are Rachelle and Karin," Ryden said. "We've been working on a bunch of different things with Danielle."
The coaches are also hopeful Taylor can return to the vault rotation after not competing in the event in 2005. She was a consistent member of the Wildcats' vault team in her freshman season, when she also competed as an all-arounder.
Arizona will also have to rely on some freshman talent. As expected, the freshmen got off to a bit of a slow start in official practices during the fall, but have since started to show their promise, in particular Workman, Greene and Alvey.
"We will need freshmen help," Ryden said. "We have three freshmen that are really starting to show well: Bree Workman, Alexis Greene and Suzanne Alvey. That said, we're also hoping that Aubrey can come back and vault so she can compete in the all-around."
The staff is also hopeful that injuries to Parsons and Specht will heal up soon enough that they can get competitive experience this year as well.
"Two of the strongest vaulters in the freshman class are the two Sarahs," Ryden said. "If they can get healthy, then all of a sudden we have a surplus. We're really anxious to see them come back."
Uneven Bars
The bars was one of the Wildcats' more inconsistent events in 2005, but that was the case for the majority of the teams around the country due to some of the rule changes and the way judges scored the event. Arizona will again be replacing four mainstays in the lineup, but returns three solid bar workers, including Taylor, who has been one of the team's most consistent scorers in the event for the last two years.
Taylor, with an average score of 9.758, as well as sophomores Hicks and Wurm are back on bars. Hicks averaged a score of 9.713, third best on the team, while Wurm hit a 9.8 or better four times last season, including a career-best 9.825 at the NCAA South Central Regional Championships.
"I'm positive Aubrey will be fine and she was our best bar worker last year," Ryden said. "Karin and Danielle are ready to go right now."
Junior Aubrey Taylor
Again, Arizona will have to rely on contributions from its freshmen. The coaches think they have the talent to put a strong lineup on the floor each meet.
"We do have some freshmen that are very good at bars," Ryden said. "Alexis and Sarah Parsons have been doing very good. Suzanne and Briana have been working hard, and Sarah Specht is great on bars if she can be fully healthy. I think we'll be solid at the beginning of the year and I expect that event to get stronger as the year goes on."
Balance Beam
Like bars, beam was not the most consistent event last year for Arizona, but when the Wildcats were on, it was a good scoring event. The team scored a 49.350 at the Pac-10 Championships to capture second place. The Wildcats lost five of their top contributors from 2005, but should have a solid core of returning players to pace the scoring.
As a freshman, Hicks stepped in and was a vital part of the team's beam lineup. She averaged a score of 9.690 and set a career high of 9.875. Also back is Taylor, who struggled a bit in the event early in the season, but became much more consistent down the stretch, hitting back-to-back scores of 9.850 in the final regular season meet and at the Pac-10 Championships. Wurm should also become a regular in the rotation after only performing in exhibitions last year.
"We're replacing four or five seniors that competed in our rotation nearly every meet, and they were good," Ryden said. "Danielle is back and looks great, and she was our most consistent beam worker last year. I would expect Karin to be full-time in the lineup this year, as well as Aubrey. Both of them should be mainstays."
The Wildcats will also turn to the senior Muirhead, who has only competed in exhibitions, as well as the junior Holton, who has yet to compete on beam at Arizona. The freshmen will also get extended looks, especially Bergeson, who has been the most impressive early on.
The coaching staff knows that there is little experience returning, but they won't be asking for too much too soon from the group.
"You want to have a beam team that can deliver night-in-and-night-out," said Ryden. "They don't have to have the world's most difficulty, that's nice, but you can learn that stuff. First, we have to learn how to compete. Counting falls right from the beginning certainly will put you in a hole scoring-wise. We need to have six girls that can go out and hit in that first meet."
Floor Exercise
The Wildcats' strongest event looks to be on floor. Despite the loss of Johnson, who hit 9.9 or better four times in 2005, along with Bisordi and Jamie Duce, Arizona returns four gymnasts that were significant contributors throughout the year.
Wurm was a consistent scorer throughout her freshman season, averaging a score of 9.712 and establishing a career best of 9.850. She will be supported by Taylor, who also earned a season-high of 9.850, as well as Hicks, Holton and Muirhead. Hicks competed on floor in each of team's last six meets, averaging a 9.663. Holton made nine appearances in the Wildcats' floor rotation, chipping in an average score of 9.667. Muirhead only competed in one meet, but made the most of the opportunity with a 9.800 performance at California.
Sophomore Danielle Hicks
"We are stacked on floor. It will be fun," Ryden said. "We have some amazing tumblers. Virtually everybody is tumbling very well. I would expect last year's floor people to be ready. Karin has already learned new tumbling, as have Danielle and Aubrey. I would expect all of them to be very good."
Floor also happens to be one of the stronger events for many of the freshmen. Depending upon how healthy Muirhead and Holton are early in the season, the freshmen could become key components of the floor rotation.
"As for the freshmen, floor is one of their strengths," Ryden said. "Workman, Greene, Bergeson and Specht are tumbling quite well."
It won't be easy overcoming the loss of Bisordi, the program's all-time leading scorer. The way the Wildcats hope to combat her loss is to fill in the lineup with three consistent all-arounders, something the team didn't have last year, even with Bisordi.
Hicks returns as an all-arounder after entering the floor rotation for the final six meets. She set a career high of 39.225 in the final home meet of the season, and with an improved vault, should score higher this season.
The coaches are also looking to have Taylor become an all-arounder again, as well as to work Wurm into the beam rotation, the one event she didn't perform on a year ago.
"I would expect Danielle to be a consistent all-arounder again," Ryden said. "We are getting Karin ready on beam to be an all-arounder, and Aubrey is learning a 10.0 vault so she can return as an all-arounder. Those three are all very good competitors. They very much fit the mold of a Monica Bisordi or Katie Johnson as far as being able to go out each night and hit. If those three are all doing all-around, then we are sitting pretty well."

Gay Horde of Sparkly Homosexual Barbarians Ravage Marcus Bachman and the 'Pray the Gay Away' Health Clinic
Eternally dangerous and jealous of normal people, the Gay Community has struck again, my friends. Gays want to plant their flesh flags in our backsides and yell 'pay dirt!' at the top of their lungs, and have us all laugh along and chuckle will they hump away our rights like a law-wielding dog in heat.
And that's what the gay agenda really comes down to. Gays are fascinated with anal sex. That is plain and simple. They want the right to teach our children that it is normal for little Johnny to play polywog tadpole in your son's backside. They want little Sally to play dapper slapper with her girly friends in the restroom after recess! It is already happening in California you evil liveral like sucker fornicators!
I wish this was only 400 years ago, because I would laught with delight as I rounded up every single gay and brought a loving peace to this world, as we burned them all at the stake and let their marinated sin flesh make Satan's mouth water until he opened up the Earth and swallowed them right up into hell! But it's the modern age and we cannot burn these broomstick in the bum loving witches, so we have to settle with prayer and using legal power to keep the law that America is a Christian nation and no gays are allowed! In public.
What is sad is that many gays have been tricked with a magic bag of lies and tricks. They think they can spit their serpent scepters into the flesh cavern of a bent man, then go to church with the residues of sugar plummed anal play staining their tutu panties, as if the odor will not be smelt by their preist and by their God! The Bible makes it clear! Gays shall burn in hell, so sayeth the Bible and the LAW OF AMERICA! So why would we damn people to live like this, to be tortured and have their teeth weeping and eyes gnashing in pain, forever and ever and their lungs would make them scream but they are always doused ina sulfur soup and I will reach down from heaven and help the Lord do it!
I love all people. I just want to see the gays happy and their happiness will come when they realize it is a sin to dipstick the brown oil wells of other men. God is the ultimate mechanic and he made a manual for our machinery: it is called the Bible. God gave men a stickrock so we can insert the fluid of life into a wife, where she will incubate it and bear it 9 months later. Anyone who would rather catch Aids and Herpies simplex cancer or scarier death gay bowel disease, then burn in hell, instead of loving and nurturing a child is in clear harm to themselves.
Our good friend Marcus Bachman, as pure and loving as Michelle Bachman, is trying to save the gays from their own self-destruction. There is a clinic that is saving gays and it is called the 'Pray the Gay Away' clinic. Angered that their numbers were growing weak, the gay agenda organized a Barbarian Glitter Horde of fecal ferret stuffers and attacked Bachman and the clinic.
There is no word yet on how many gay touches the staff their endured and if anyone was sodomized during the raid, but we will keep you posted. Following is the shocking and terrifying footage of just how evil, bigoted and hateful the gays truly are. This type of Barbary was not seen since the Germanic hordes stole upon Rome and almost destroyed the Republic.

Career in a printing company can be life changing for people since this is an industry that's not going down for a long time to come. Several industries see ups and downs but that's not the case with printing industry, especially with new technologies supporting revolutionary printing methods. Just like any other industry, there are all sorts of jobs available at a printing company. Similar to other companies, a printing company also has operations, marketing, sales, finance, HR etc. departments. The important thing to understand about working at a printing company is that it will require some technical knowledge for a person to work.
Printing companies like Moo, Overnight Prints, Vistaprint, etc. open a big door of opportunities for graphic designers. Graphic designers have to create the designs of every item that needs to be printed. A sample of the design can be provided by the customers looking to get something printed. On other occasions the customers might simply give an idea verbally and expect the company's designers to come up with a unique and attractive design. On most occasions the designers have the liberty to present their own versions of the sample designs provided to them by changing small bits in the designs or modifying the colors.
Administrative, managerial and other office jobs are often available at printing companies. However, skilled workers also have high demand in printing companies. People who can print, use the printing machines or use other techniques for printing are great assets for printing companies. By polishing the printing skills and gaining ample experience, a person can easily become the supervisor of the printing department. Being a supervisor is a great way to earn a good income every month and at the end of the year. Such individuals are also capable of starting their own small businesses or work independently with many companies to provide their services.
Whether a manager or machine operator, printing business is a growing business today and has been this way for many years. The concept of 3D printing has given rise to a big revolution in the printing industry. New workers who can operate the 3D printing machines are now required by these rising companies. Furthermore, 3D printing companies are looking specifically for designers with apt skills of 3D printing. The industry is supposed to grow by leaps and bounds by 2020 and thus expected to create thousands of job opportunities for 3D designers and printers.
As aspiring individuals realize the importance of internet, more and more businesses are emerging. The importance of printing for the marketing purposes is becoming even more vital for businesses with time as the competition grows tougher. According to Pascal Smits, a Printing Professional and owner of printingdeals.org, huge printing deals are being offered by companies to attract more and more companies to get their printing jobs done at discounted rates. This is a win-win situation where the companies requiring printing materials for marketing will create more job opportunities in their marketing departments whereas the printing companies will require more staff to manage each of their department to handle the increasing workload of printing jobs.
This is definitely high time for aspiring individuals to learn printing, 3D printing, 3D designing etc.
