Machtaler Matches Nation's No. 1 Golfer

WAHIAWA -- Greg Machtaler led the 10th-ranked BYU men's golf team to
a fourth-place finish with his performance at the 2005 John A. Burns
Intercollegiate, shooting some of his best rounds of the season
(68-66-69) and earning second-place honors.
The final round of the tournament found Machtaler paired with the
nation's two best collegiate golfers: New Mexico's Spencer Levin (No. 1)
and UNLV's Ryan Moore (No. 2).
"[Moore]'s one of the greatest players I've seen," Machtaler said. "He's
amazing on the greens. I certainly learned a lot watching him play during
this tournament."
Machtaler, No. 29 in the nation, finished this year's tournament shooting
13 under par. He finished seven strokes back of tournament champion
Moore and in a tie for second place with Levin. Machtaler's second-place
Machtaler finishes second at the 2005 John A. Burns Intercollegiate
finish and tournament score (203) marks his second best finish and
tournament score of his collegiate career.
"I think it was a great experience for Machtaler," said head coach Bruce Brockbank. "He held his own through the entire
tournament. He really stepped up and played great golf."
The final round presented some surprises for the golfers as they battled light wind and scattered showers throughout the
day.
BYU came out strong and played well through 15 holes in the final round before the rain dampened the Cougars' hopes for
a title, as they ended the final round with a 6-under-par 282, just one stroke shy of third-place Arizona.
"We played decent," Brockbank said. "We were right there at the end, but we let some shots slip away from us. The
competition was really close through 15. We just finished a little sloppy."
The Cougars' Oscar Alvarez had a strong showing at this year's event, shooting a final-round 71 and finishing the
tournament seven under par. Ron Harvey, Jr. made significant improvements over the three days, dropping two strokes
each day and finishing at three under par, while Jake Ellison shot a 73 in the final round and ended at 1 under par. Todd
Miller played well in the first two days, but ran into trouble in the final round scoring a 76 and ending the tournament three
over par.
Playing as individuals, sophomore Nick Becker attracted some attention as he shot a career-best 6-under-par 210 and tied
for 17th place, while Clay Ogden struggled in the final round, shooting a 77 and finishing four over par.
BYU (839) finished behind first-place No. 4 New Mexico (833), second-place No. 16 UNLV (835) and third-place No. 31
Arizona (838), but managed to hold a two-stroke lead over fifth-place No. 5 Auburn (841).
The Cougars travel to Thousand Oaks, Calif. for the Cleveland Golf Classic Feb. 28-March 1.

Three men to compete in New York

NewsNet Staff Writer
24 Mar 2004
Three members of the BYU men's swimming and diving team left
yesterday for Long Island, N.Y. to compete against the nation's best
swimmers and divers in the men's NCAA Swimming and Diving
Championship March 25-27, 2004.
BYU swimmers Diogo Yabe and Zach Anderson qualified for the
national competition during the Mountain West Conference
Championship in February. For Yabe and Anderson, this is their first
trip to nationals.

Senior diver Justin Beardall also qualified for the competition with his Swimmer Zach Anderson is one of three who
performance at the NCAA Zone E diving competition two weeks ago. will compete in the NCAA Championship March
His performance on the 1-meter board qualified him for both the 25-27, 2004 for BYU.
1-meter and 3-meter events at nationals.
Last year, Beardall qualified for the national championship and performed well by finishing in 18th place in the
1-meter event and 21st place in the 3-meter event.
Beardall said he thinks he'll do better than he did last year at nationals.
"I have the potential to go into finals for both boards," Beardall said. "If I can just be consistent in what I do. If I
can just hit the dives that I know I can hit all the time. I've hit every one of my dives for good scores. I've just got to
put it all together in one meet."
BYU diving coach Keith Russell said he thinks Beardall has a good chance to compete well at the championship.
He said he thinks it will be a very good contest.
"Justin's been there before," Russell said. "I expect him to go there and dive with a certain confidence that
perhaps he hasn't had before. If he does that, he'll be right in the ballgame. Talent-wise and diving-wise he's just
as good as anybody. He can compete with those guys just as well as anybody."
Beardall said the diver to beat is ASU's Joona Puhakka, a sophmore from Finland. Puhakka was the 2003 NCAA
Champion on the 1-meter board. He also placed third in the 3-meter diving competition at last year's
championship.
Although Puhakka will be difficult to beat, Beardall said he thinks it should be a good competition with the rest of
the divers.
"Our goal is to make finals at national championships so he [Beardall] can be All-American," Russell said.
On the swimming side, Yabe, a junior from Brazil, will compete in the 200 IM [individual medley] and the 100 and
200 free events. Anderson, a sophmore from Mesa, will compete in the 200, 500 and 1650 free events.
Both Yabe and Anderson were influential in helping the BYU men's swimming and diving team win its fifth straight
MWC Championship. They made the NCAB cut for nationals with their times during the MWC Championship. This
means they did not receive an automatic invite to the national championship but NCAA officials reviewed their times
after all conference championships were finished. They were notified last week that their times qualified them for
the national competition.
Men's swimming head coach Tim Powers said despite an injury incurred during the MWC Championship, Yabe

New Luggage Box from The UPS
Store Expands Luggage Shipping
Solutions
San Diego, June 29, 2010
Alternatives Take the "Lug" Out of Luggage; Save Time, Money
The UPS Store can ease air travelers' burdens this summer with three luggage
shipping alternatives, including a new luggage box that takes the place of a
suitcase, to help reduce hassles of long lines, security searches and increasing
baggage fees.
"Not having to carry a suitcase while traveling is a great convenience. Even better is
luggage awaiting your arrival at a destination or hotel," said John Minetola, The UPS
Store franchisee from Wyoming, Pa. "You can ship your luggage as is; place it in a box
for shipment, or at select locations purchase a luggage box, eliminating the need for a
suitcase altogether."
When shipped UPS Ground service, the luggage box is competitively priced with the
airlines' baggage fees, especially when compared to the major airlines, many of which
are charging well over $100 for comparable baggage. Additionally, members of the
Automobile Association of America (AAA) can receive a 15 percent discount off the full
retail price of The UPS Store eligible products and services and five percent off
domestic U.S. UPS shipping costs.
The new luggage box comes as the AAA predicts an increase in summer travel this
year.
"AAA's Memorial Day forecast predicted a more than five percent increase in Americans
traveling, a trend we expect to continue this summer," said Heather Hunter, AAA
spokesperson. "Additionally, our travel agents are reporting double-digit increases in
the percentage of travelers making advanced bookings for tours and cruises as well as
an increase in hotel bookings via AAA.com."
Available at select U.S. The UPS Store locations only, the luggage box comes in two
sizes, large and small; has a sturdy handle for easy carrying, and is made of recyclable
corrugate. Because it weighs less than an empty suitcase, packing directly into the box
can help lower shipping costs. Travelers also can include packaging tape and a return
UPS shipping label for use when returning home.
"We've seen more customers shipping golf clubs and skis ahead over the past few
years as well as more 'snow birds' packing items for annual travel to warmer climates,"
Minetola added. "Luggage shipping picked up when the airlines began increasing fees
for checked bags and carry-ons."
Both luggage boxes meet airline baggage restrictions for travelers opting to fly with their
belongings. The small box can be carried on and the large box can be checked in,
minimizing the chance of paying airline oversize or overweight charges. The luggage
boxes have been professionally tested. Travelers can visit theupsstore.com to view a
luggage box information sheet with details about box dimensions, weight limitations and
declared value.
Luggage solutions from The UPS Store also allow travelers to easily track shipments
with UPS mobile apps for cell phones, PDAs or other web-enabled wireless devices or
receive e-mail shipment notification.
Travelers can visit the online cost calculator to research the most economical shipping
option. Planning ahead allows travelers to choose a less expensive shipping option like
UPS Ground service. Additional information to consider when planning to ship luggage
includes:
The certified packing experts at The UPS Store also specialize in packing odd,
oversized items, such as skis, golf clubs and fishing poles - items travelers would
prefer to have waiting at their destination.
Because of the duties and taxes associated with international shipments, The UPS
Store does not recommend shipping luggage internationally.
Federal Aviation Administration restrictions prohibit The UPS Store from shipping
hazardous materials, including colognes and perfumes, aerosol sprays, nail polish
and cigarette lighters via air.
In addition to domestic and international shipping, The UPS Store offers full-service
packaging; online and digital printing; black-and-white and color copies; document
finishing (binding, laminating, etc.); printing services (business cards, letterhead, rubber
stamps, etc.); notary; custom crating and shipping for large items (furniture, artwork,
motorcycles, etc.); mailbox and postal services; office and packaging supplies, and
more.

The UPS Store Continues to Expand
Non-Traditional Locations in the U.S.
San Diego, September 23, 2011
University of Oregon Welcomes The UPS Store on Campus
Today, The UPS Store ® franchise network opened a location on the University
of Oregon campus, adding to its nearly 140 non-traditional locations across the
country.
The UPS Store franchise began providing its services in venues like universities,
hotels, convention centers and military bases nearly three decades ago. According to
Kevin Pignone, vice president of non-traditional development for The UPS Store
network, the company continues to pursue opportunities in non-traditional venues
whose customers need The UPS Store services.
"Our non-traditional locations allow us to work with venues that have proven their
customers need our services," Pignone said. "They also provide students, hotel guests,
convention attendees and military personnel the added convenience of having a
business services location nearby."
While customers may experience the same level of customer service at a non-traditional
The UPS Store location, the products and services may vary from those found in a
traditional The UPS Store location.
"It's very common for these locations to offer customized services," Pignone said. "For
example, some of our college venues provide storage and assist students moving in
and out of the dorms. These services are tailored specifically to that venue."
The UPS Store location at the University of Oregon will offer a variety of services to
students, faculty and staff, including packing and shipping, exclusive mailbox services,
notary services, move-in and move-out assistance, and summer and winter storage.
The university location will also test dorm room delivery as an added convenience for
mailbox holders during especially busy times in the semester, such as mid-terms and
finals.
"We look forward to becoming part of the campus community through the services we
provide," said Victor Urbina, The UPS Store franchisee. "We hope to contribute to what
makes the University of Oregon a top-tier college."
Additional The UPS Store non-traditional locations include the Ernest N. Morial
Convention Center in New Orleans, La.; Mississippi State University in Starkville, Miss.;
Nellis Air Force Base located outside Las Vegas, Nev.; and the Renaissance Resort at
World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla. to name few.
In addition to domestic and international shipping, traditional The UPS Store provides a
variety of products and services to small-business owners and general consumers
alike, including: digital printing, black-and-white and color copies, document finishing
(binding, laminating, etc.), printing services (business cards, letterhead, rubber stamps,
etc.), full-service packing, custom crating and shipping for large items (e.g., grandfather
clocks, rowboats), notary, mailbox and postal services, office and packaging supplies,
and more.
