If your symptoms suggest you may have leukemia, your doctor will first probably check your blood to determine if it has normal numbers of blood cells. People with leukemia often have abnormally high numbers of white blood cells. They may also have immature blood cells, called blasts, normally found only in the bone marrow. If leukemia seems likely, your doctor will perform a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to determine the type of leukemia you have and your prognosis. A prognosis is a statement about the prospect of surviving and recovering from a disease.
A doctor performs this test on bones of your hips or, less often, on your sternum, which is your chest bone. Before making a small cut in the skin, the doctor numbs the area with a local anesthetic, which you usually get as an injection. Then the doctor inserts a thin, hollow needle to remove a small amount of liquid bone marrow. You may need to have this done on both hips. Next, the doctor uses a larger needle to remove a solid piece of bone and marrow. Even with anesthesia, you may feel uncomfortable as the doctor removes the marrow and bone. The doctor sends the bone marrow samples to a lab where a specialist, called a pathologist, checks them for leukemia cells. Pathologists may also perform the following tests:
Immunophenotyping. Tests such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry can be used for immunophenotyping. These tests require a sample of either your blood or your bone marrow. Immunophenotyping measures the types and amounts of antigens on the surface of leukemia cells. Antigens are substances that cause an immune response. Your doctor uses these facts about your antigens to learn what type of leukemia you have and how the leukemia may grow or spread. Results of this test may take several days.
Cytogenetic analysis. This test requires a sample of either your blood or your bone marrow. The cells are then grown in a laboratory. A pathologist uses a microscope to see the cell's chromosomes, which are pieces of DNA that control cell growth. The DNA changes related to leukemia are not inherited but occur after birth when the cells become leukemia cells. With some types of leukemia, chromosomes may exchange DNA. For example, part of chromosome 1 is on part of chromosome 2 and vice versa. This is called translocation. Another common DNA abnormality is when there may be the wrong number of total chromosomes. A chromosome can be deleted, or one can be added. This information will affect your treatment plan. You will get results from this analysis within a few weeks.
Molecular genetic tests. Other tests may be done on blood or bone marrow samples to look for DNA changes. Fluorescent in situ hybridization ("FISH" for short) is a very sensitive lab test that uses fluorescent dyes to detect some chromosome changes that can't be seen with standard cytogenetic testing. It also provides results within a few days, which is why many centers now use this test. Polymerase chain reaction is another very sensitive DNA test that can find some chromosome changes too small to be seen with a microscope, even if very few leukemia cells are present in a sample.

When, for example, the body ages and dies, if there is identification or clinging, there is the mistaken concept of "I am" ageing and dying (same for other khandas)
"There is the case where an uninstructed, run-of-the-mill person — who has no regard for noble ones, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma; who has no regard for men of integrity, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma — assumes form (the body) to be the self, or the self as possessing form, or form as in the self, or the self as in form. He is seized with the idea that 'I am form' or 'Form is mine.' As he is seized with these ideas, his form changes & alters, and he falls into sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair over its change & alteration.
The Buddhas khandas "aged" and "died" but "he" had attained the deathless, through non-identification (or Anatta) there is no ageing and dying, no sadness or grief since there is no longer the concept "I am this ..."
'He has been stilled where the currents of construing do not flow. And when the currents of construing do not flow, he is said to be a sage at peace.' Thus was it said. With reference to what was it said? 'I am' is a construing. 'I am this' is a construing. 'I shall be' is a construing. 'I shall not be'... 'I shall be possessed of form'... 'I shall not be possessed of form'... 'I shall be percipient'... 'I shall not be percipient'... 'I shall be neither percipient nor non-percipient' is a construing. Construing is a disease, construing is a cancer, construing is an arrow. By going beyond all construing, he is said to be a sage at peace.
"Furthermore, a sage at peace is not born, does not age, does not die, is unagitated, and is free from longing. He has nothing whereby he would be born. Not being born, will he age? Not aging, will he die? Not dying, will he be agitated? Not being agitated, for what will he long? It was in reference to this that it was said, 'He has been stilled where the currents of construing do not flow. And when the currents of construing do not flow, he is said to be a sage at peace.
Birth ageing and death are for "those" who cling to khandas
There is no justification for limiting "birth" in this passage as having only some sort of metaphorical meaning only, especially given the Buddha's own description of his awakening involves the recollection of past lives in a way that does not neatly allow for some sort of attempt to squeeze it into a metaphorical reading.
Recollection of past abodes, but even if it was past lives this just proves a point i made earlier, that if the Buddha did see past "lives", it was during his actual enlightenment. His entire motivation and view before that was an acknowledgement of what is "There is Dukkha". It wasnt "I will be reborn and so exp. Dukkha".
If people say that one must have rebirth view in order to start and practice the NEFP then they must conclude that the Buddha himself had wrong view throughout his search since he didnt start with the view "I will be reborn and suffer" since he had no knowledge of this until his nibbana (if you take it to mean he seen past lives)

A shooting just steps away from a Detroit high school Friday night has left one teen dead and another injured.
Sources say the teens were trying to rob the basketball coach at Martin Luther King High School. The coach is also a Detroit Police Department reserve officer who was carrying a weapon.
At about 7:30 p.m. the coach exited the school with two girls with him when the two teens walked up and tried to rob him. The coach pulled out his gun and shot both teens.
The teen who was killed was a former student at the high school. He was recently expelled from the school. The other teen, a 16-year-old, was shot in the stomach. He is at Detroit Receiving Hospital in serious condition.
The deceased teen's body was found by police on the median on Larned Street.

"The wand as used in many modern day esoteric practices is in fact a symbolic drum stick, directionally beating our concentrated willed intent against the energetic surface of creational reality"
My personal involvement with shamanism started some 30 years or so ago whilst on what may appear at first sight to be a totally unrelated path.
At an early age I developed a deep interest in the mystical side of our nature, it was as if I was instinctively drawn towards anything that was different or had a freakish nature and was coupled the suspicion that there was much more going on in the world than met the eye. I would spend hours exploring the overgrown orchard and the abandoned farm that backed onto my parents property, the place seemed to be virtually alive with the spirits of nature who had reclaimed the land as their own.
As the years progressed I became ever more interested in the possibilities of our human potential.… Read the rest

10 Funniest 'Weird Al' Videos
Given the cornucopia of new videos "Weird Al" Yankovic has given us from his new album, 'Mandatory Fun' (available on Amazon and iTunes), we thought now might be a good time to dig into his videolog and pick out our favorites. The Weird One has been at this for well over 30 years, so picking just 10 was no easy task. But we live to serve, and so we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. It doesn't hurt that "work" here means watching "Weird Al" videos. So cancel your appointments for the next hour or so and check out our list of the 10 Funniest "Weird Al" Videos.
'The Saga Begins'
'Star Wars' has never been so succinctly summed up in song form before. But thank goodness for the genius of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
'Whatever You Like'
We bet you didn't know what a sweetheart "Weird Al" is. He shows everyone that he's willing to give his lady whatever she likes.
'Amish Paradise'
There was a bit of controversy behind 'Amish Paradise' when Coolio -- the artist of the original song, 'Gangsta's Paradise' -- said he didn't actually give his blessing on this parody. But the song was already on the tape, so we get to enjoy it anyway.
'Jurassic Park'
This one's a little homage to 'Manfred Park,' which was really already funny on its own. But "Weird Al" upped the ante by including some velociraptors in clay form.
'Bedrock Anthem'
"Yabba dabba yabba dabba dabba doo, now!" There's not much else to say here.
'You Don't Love Me Anymore'
"Weird Al" wanted to release this as the single following the success of his Nirvana parody, 'Smells Like Nirvana.' His label agreed, provided the video was a parody. So "Weird Al" enlisted the help of Robert Goulet to make fun of Extreme's 'More than Words' video.
'Foil' was released as part of "Weird Al"'s eight-videos-in-eight-days onslaught for 'Mandatory Fun.' This one starts out kind of, well, not that funny. But it's just a set-up for a big punchline that comes in the second half of the song.
"Weird Al" gained notoriety when he turned Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' into 'Eat It.' Then he cemented his place in pop culture with 'Fat.' It's one of those tracks where the song and video together provide perfect fodder for His Weirdness.
'White & Nerdy'
Given how funny "Weird Al" is, it's easy to overlook his other talents. But with 'White & Nerdy,' he shows that, had he chosen to, he could've been a superstar rapper.
'Dare to Be Stupid'
'Dare to Be Stupid' is another style parody. This time Yankovic modeled the song after Devo, whose founder, Mark Mothersbaugh, said of "Weird Al"'s take on his style, "I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and, umm ... I hate him for it, basically."

Louisiana Tech's D.J. Banks has the most catches and receiving yards of any Bulldogs receiver.
RUSTON -- As much talk as there's been about Louisiana Tech's quarterback situation, the Bulldogs' receiver corps brings just as much uncertainty.
Tech lost its top two receivers - Quinton Patton and Myles White - who just so happened to account for 44 percent of the team's catches and 50 percent of its yardage in 2012.
There's no doubt the Bulldogs have the bodies and depth to fill the shoes of Patton and Myles. The bigger question is if they can provide the same production. ...

Would you be satisfied if your car, cellphone or computer worked properly just three-quarters of the time?
No? Then why does the Air Force permit a culture in which just over 75 percent is considered a good mission-capable rate?
MCRs are a measure of reliability in an aircraft fleet. If three planes out of every four take off and fly their scheduled missions, thats a 75 percent MCR.
Air Force Times in its Oct. 7 issue published MCR rates for most Air Force aircraft and reported overall rates at 77.8 percent.
One big surprise was the T-6A Texan II primary trainer, a plane Ive flown several times during orientation flights. The T-6As reliability score dropped to 63.3 percent this year, down from almost 81 percent in 2011.
Now, comparing aircraft types can be apples and oranges. Youd expect a low number for the big, intricate, geriatric C-5A Galaxy (67.2 percent) and a high figure for the almost-new and uncomplicated C-37A Gulfstream V executive jet (96.9 percent).
But the T-6A is a simple, straightforward design and it, too, is almost new. Could its low rate be because vendors, rather than airmen, maintain the aircraft? Traditionally, both airmen and contractors do a superb job of keeping aircraft flying.
The dismal showing of the B-2 Spirit bomber (46.7 percent) is no surprise. The high-maintenance B-2 has been oversold on the basis of stealth technology that makes it difficult to detect on radar. But experts disagree on whether stealth is needed in modern warfare.
Our other two bombers, the B-1B Lancer and B-52 Stratofortress, weigh in at 57.9 percent and 75.3 percent, respectively.
Some of the finest people in the world work in maintenance shops around the Air Force. They have good leaders and good training. Everybody is being asked to do more with less and, yes, we have spare-parts issues but nothing on the magnitude of the spare-parts crisis of the late 1990s.
Airline companies, which have more money and newer equipment, achieve about a 95 percent dispatch rate with the most reliable planes, like the Airbus 330 and Boeing 737. Theyre less successful with other types but still have good numbers.
In the corporate world, Gulfstreams civilian equivalents of the C-37A have close to 100 percent dispatch rates.
Yes, its apples and oranges again but cant we learn something from the airline and business jet industries, which haul millions of passengers every year?
In arguing that MCRs must be improved, my purpose is not to criticize maintainers. Its our national leaders Im wondering about in industry, in government, in the Pentagon. Government and industry should be more proactive in keeping planes flying. Someone in Washington needs to search for funding, methods and techniques that will bring up the Air Forces numbers.
And what if Air Force culture would allow us to revert to a leadership style of the past, when commanders ruled with an iron hand? Gen. Curtis LeMay, who led Strategic Air Command from 1948 to 1957, would be appalled by the readiness rates of todays bombers. He wouldnt have allowed it.

Back then there was a real excitement about the things of the Spirit and the church was committed to making room for the Holy Spirit to move in the meetings and in the lives of those who attended. The people collectively began to grow in their faith, believing God for healing and trusting him to do the miraculous. They moved in the gifts of the Spirit, and began to exercise these gifts in their daily lives and workplaces. Through it all, Uncle Sid and the leadership team were dedicated to the authority of Word of God and the teaching and preaching of the Bible. The desire of the leadership team was to equip the people for works of service and send them out to increase the Kingdom of God.
A lot has changed in 50+ years for South Chard Church but we are still a vibrant, faith-filled and relevant body of believers who believe in the miraculous and in healing. We are passionate about seeing the gifts of God exercised in our daily lives, knowing that this it what God always intended. When we meet together we understand that God is in charge and that the Holy Spirit should be free to move. We hold on to the authority of the Word of God and those who preach and teach us are passionate about God's Word changing lives. Our individual relationships with God are a priority as we know that all that we do flows from our connection with our Father God. We aim to develop an atmosphere of discipleship where each member is growing in faith and supported by the church family.
Our congregation is a mix of all ages, ranging from 0-92. We are a family. We love and care for each other, making room for people to make mistakes, grow and learn together. We have a leadership team of five and our Pastoral Oversight is provided by Allan Smith, a man with a wealth of experience and a genuine and tangible relationship with God.
Whether you have been a Christian for many years or you have only recently begun your journey, South Chard School of Ministry has something to offer you.Find out more

Richard Lang, a resident of Ruggles House, looks over some of the historical documents about the mansion that he found in the basement boiler room. They will be turned over to UVM's Special Collections. / MADDIE MCGARVEY/FREE PRESS
Ruggles House / Free Press file photo
A portrait of Lucy C. Ruggles, founder of Ruggles House.
Richard Lang had been living in Ruggles House in Burlington a couple of years when he heard that some old papers had been found in the basement that were going to be thrown out because they were a fire hazard.
He went down to have a look. He had to hunt around a bit.
Hed never been in the old boiler room before, but when he opened the door, there they were, scattered about the gravelly floor in various states of decay: ledger books, correspondence and loose papers, some getting moldy in the damp air.
The papers pertained to Ruggles House an elegant mansion nearly two centuries old that has come under the sway of different design styles, different owners and perhaps were as historic as the house itself. Lang had no idea how long theyd been consigned to the boiler room, but he was sure of one thing: They didnt belong in a landfill.
He hauled them up to his apartment and began looking through them. Sure enough, they extended back more than a century, and they even included a draft of the will that led to the houses establishment as a retirement home.
I have this curator approach, Lang said the other day. I used to live in a Victorian house, and I took the same approach to that, too. I could not let this go to the dump.
Quite the contrary: At a ceremony on Nov. 16, the 80th anniversary of the founding of Ruggles House, Lang will turn over the trove to Special Collections, of the University of Vermonts Bailey-Howe Library, which has pledged to restore and preserve it as part of its research archives.
Future researchers will be following in Langs wake. There were about 5,000 pages in that boiler-room collection. He has read and photographed every one.
Historic phases
Built in the 1820s in the Greek Revival style by Jesse Hollister, a veteran of Battle of Bunker Hill, the house at 262 S. Prospect St. passed through a series of owners and modifications over the next century, as recounted by David Blow in the second volume of Historic Guide to Burlington Neighborhoods (1997):
The Rev. Marshall Shedd bought the house in 1835 and passed it on to his son, William, who became a professor of English at the University of Vermont and later, when he left UVM in 1852, sold the house to...
Chalon F. Davey, a UVM alumnus (1842) and lawyer who served as Burlington town clerk and, briefly, as UVM treasurer, who sold the property in 1856 for $4,500 to ...
George DeForest, a wealthy New Yorker who put on an Italian-villa-style addition to the front of the brick house and spent summers there. His widow sold the house in 1868 to ...
Mial Davis, a lumber magnate, who who built a four-story tower that included a north parlor and Victorian features in a style known as Eastlake. Davis business went bust in 1876, and two years later the house was purchased by ...
Horace Brookes, another wealthy New Yorker who summered in Burlington and who owned the place until 1927, when it was bought by ...
Carl F. Robinson, a doctor who received his M.D. from UVM in 1916 and was a cancer specialist who used X-rays and radium treatments. He operated a sanitarium in the house for three years, during which he subdivided some of the adjoining property for a development lining a new street named for him (Robinson Parkway). Then in 1930, the house was purchased for about $35,000 by ...
Charles H. Darling, one of two protagonists in the Ruggles House saga. He leased the place to UVM as a womens dormitory for two years before he was able to get the building in shape to become the retirement home that the other key figure, Lucy S. Ruggles, had envisioned more than three decades before.
Fulfilling Lucy Ruggles' will
As Lang browsed through the papers, facets of their two personalities began to emerge.
What I came to appreciate was the the two remarkable people who created Ruggles House, he said recently.
Lucy was a great humanist and she had a remarkable intellect, he said. Born in Massachusetts in 1816, she taught in the South and moved back to New England in her later years, dying in Bennington in 1896. She never married, but she delighted in children and wrote a book, New Poems for Children, published in 1880. The book includes four dozen poems and a brief introduction in which she advises, The poetic temperament in children should be encouraged and cherished, not chilled by indifference or annihilated by ridicule...
The opening poem, The Spider, portrays a rather sinister creature spreading an airy tent upon the velvet grass ...
And there he sits and catches flies
Which venture oft too nigh
The flies for him are dainty meat,
He loves to see them die.
Ruggles was a thrifty woman who accumulated a small fortune about $33,000 which she resolved should be used to establish a retirement home for female teachers. An 11-page draft of her will, which she wrote out by hand in Boston in 1894, specifies that this is not to be a charitable institution but for educated ladies of limited means. The house she had in mind was to have, among other things, a library and sewing machines for common use.
Such a home would have filled an obvious need in those days, as teachers didnt have pensions or Social Security to fall back on. Ruggles brand of humanism also had a streak of racism, however:
Colored persons who may be or have been teachers are not to be admitted as inmates except as cooks, nurses or waiters, she wrote.
Ruggles was aware that her financial assets were insufficient to see the project through.
I have not the means to establish such a building as my head and heart suggest, she wrote, but what I have to give I hope will prove a nucleus to which other donations from persons of means may from time to time be added to furnish and improve the home...
Ultimately, the extra money came from prudent investments of her own nest egg after she died.
After her death, in Bennington, young lawyer Charles H. Darling was named trustee of her estate, which he sucessfully defended her will against challenges from her relatives. Darling invested her assets in hopes they would grow large enough to fulfill her wishes, and sure enough by 1930, the value was up to $122,000. Darling had moved to Burlington in the interim, and he purchased the house on South Prospect Street from Robinson for $35,375. Two years later, on Nov. 16, 1932, the house opened officially under the purview of the Ruggles Foundation, with a staff that included cook and chambermaid. Room and board cost $9 a week.
Darling, who died in 1945, remained executor of the trust and continued to watch over the property. Some time in the mid-30s he planted a hedge of barberry bushes to prevent UVM students from using the property as a short-cut to campus.
His steadfastness over a half century and especially during the three decades after Ruggles death when he conscientiously managed the growing endowment impresses Lang.
He was a lawyer, Lang said. He could easily have done the minimum to fulfill Lucys will. Instead, he took it on as a personal challenge. Its as though he had no other clients.
The ledger books include the accounts maintained over many years. In 1942, the houses matron earned a monthly salary of $83.33. The endowment was invested in stocks that included the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Bellows Falls Hydroelectric Corp.
Over the years, trustees opened the house to retirees who hadnt been teachers, and to men. (Lang, for example, used to work for IBM.). Trustees also dropped the ban on non-whites. The affordable room rates were maintained, but by the end of the century, the endowment was depleted and trustees faced the choice of closing the house or turning it over to someone who could keep it going.
The savior was Cathedral Square Corp., a nonprofit organization. Cathedral Square carried out a major renovation and added several living units. The house now has 15 apartments (one for a resident manager), each with its own kitchen and bathroom. Today, Ruggles House is one of 24 housing communities operated by Cathedral Square that offers older people a chance to live independently.
To the extent that the house offers affordable accommodations to retired people of moderate means, Lucy Ruggles intent is still being fulfilled. One of her preferences abandoned long ago, however.
I have suggested Saratoga Springs in the state of New York as the best location for this institution, she wrote in her will, but it is not essential that the location should be there.

Press Releases
Custodial and Maintenance Personnel Recognition Day
Release Date: 9/16/2010 2:36:46 PM
Custodial and Maintenance Personnel Recognition Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, September 21, 2010.
The Carroll County Public School System has a statewide reputation for well-maintained facilities. Our schools consistently receive a good, very good, or superior rating when they are inspected by the state. This is due to the fact that both the Plant Operations and Maintenance Departments are made up of hard working, dedicated staff who take pride in a job well done. These employees play a crucial role in the education of our children by providing clean, safe, and well-maintained buildings and by making sure that school is a safe and comfortable environment day in and day out.
Plant Operations is comprised of more than 270 custodial staff responsible for all activities and costs associated with keeping facilities open, comfortable, and safe for use. They are the people who physically clean and sanitize buildings and make sure students and staff have heat, air conditioning, and drinking water. Custodial staff are responsible for cleaning approximately 20,000 square feet per person per night. They make sure that students have an environment that is clean and conducive to learning.
Plant Operations is responsible for a wide variety of services such as receiving, storing, and distribution of supplies, furniture, equipment, materials, and mail. Plant Operations is also responsible for utilities such as gas, electric, and sewer. Other responsibilities include water, recycling, maintaining and inspecting playground equipment, and Integrated Pest Management.
During the summer months, when students are not in school, Plant Operations staff are busy "deep cleaning" buildings from top to bottom, so they are in immaculate condition when students return in the fall. Their goal is to make sure schools are always clean, safe, and sanitary.
The Maintenance Department consists of approximately 70 maintenance employees that include electricians, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, electronic technicians, groundskeepers, roofers, masons, and locksmiths. They complete approximately 8,700 maintenance work orders annually and maintain 4.2 million square feet of buildings and grounds. These employees are routinely called in during their "off" hours for emergency repairs such as a water main break or utility repairs.
The Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining grounds, buildings, and equipment and keeping them in their original condition. This includes managing and supervising all maintenance contract services, such as energy management and state-mandated inspections. This also includes scheduled and preventive maintenance of building property, service vehicles, and equipment. Maintenance also is responsible for the maintenance of all utilities and handles the heating and air conditioning systems. The department's priority is to keep schools, buildings, and grounds safe and in excellent working condition.

I was wondering how many people here are going to the game. And if not, why?
To me, I'd love to be part of history, and want to support my team, but the majority of seats will have almost no viewing angle for the game. I'd rather be able to see the game on TV.

Green Bay Packers running back Johnathan Franklin runs drills during Friday's training camp practice at Ray Nitschke Field. Franklin and fellow running back Eddie Lacy are mentioned by players as additions that can help the team immediately. / Evan Siegle / Press-Gazette Media
Las Vegas� Super Bowl odds tell plenty about the NFC�s offseason.
The four conference teams with the best odds of winning the Super Bowl are the same four that advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs: The San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.
But according to Bovada.lv, the best odds go to the two that were most aggressive in the offseason: the 49ers, listed at 6-to-1, and the Seattle Seahawks, listed at 17-to-2.
And what about the Packers, who have the NFC�s third-best odds at 12-to-1?
General manager Ted Thompson remained true to building almost exclusively through the draft and improving from within. Thompson�s faith in that system has produced a Super Bowl win and championship contender in four of the last six years. But will it be enough to keep up with the 49ers and Seahawks this year?
�We have a lot of very good football players in this room,� tackle Bryan Bulaga said Friday after the Packers� first practice of training camp. �I don�t think anyone in here looks at it as keeping up with the Joneses and signing a bunch of free agents. That�s just not how they operate here. I think everyone�s confident with the guys we have in the locker room. I know I�m confident with all the guys we have in the locker room.�
The history of free agency has shown that teams that win the offseason rarely win the real season. But it was hard not to think the Seahawks and 49ers helped themselves after last season, when they found franchise quarterbacks in dynamic first-year starters, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick, respectively.
The Seahawks were by far the most aggressive of the contenders.
General manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll made one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason by trading for dynamic but mercurial receiver Percy Harvin. The Seahawks spent three draft picks (first- and seventh-rounders this year, and a third-rounder next year) and big money (a six-year, $67 million contract that included $25 million guaranteed) to give Wilson the big-play receiving threat he lacked last year.
The Seahawks spent another $15 million over two years on free-agent defensive end Cliff Avril (29 sacks the last three years for Detroit) and $5 million on a one-year deal for defensive end Michael Bennett (nine sacks for Tampa Bay last season).
The 49ers didn�t spend as freely but still made big news, adding two well-known though aging veterans at a cost of $7.5 million combined this season. They traded a sixth-round pick to acquire receiver Anquan Boldin ($6 million this year) and signed cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (one year, $1.5 million) as a free agent.
The Packers, on the other hand, made no trades and signed only one unrestricted free agent, backup tight end Matthew Mulligan for $820,000.
�We�ve seen what happens on ESPN, what comes across the message boards,� Packers receiver Randall Cobb said.
Still, there are no givens for how well the moves will pay off.
Harvin, for instance, is a game-changing talent but failed his physical for the start of training camp because of a hip injury. If he needs surgery, which appears to be a possibility, he could miss most or all of the season, which would be a huge loss for Seattle�s offense.
Boldin (32) and Asomugha (31) are former standouts, but they�re aging players who might end up being bigger names than performers. If their play doesn�t drop much if at all, they could help the 49ers significantly. But if the decline is big, which is possible at their ages and positions, one or both could be money and hope wasted.
�(They�re) good players,� said cornerback Jarrett Bush of the Seahawks� and 49ers� additions, �but I feel like we have some good players, too. Not just one player is going to be beat us, a whole team is going to beat us. We�ve got top-notch players, too. We�ve got Randall (Cobb), I feel like he�s just like Harvin. We have Jordy (Nelson), we have James (Jones), and we have running backs, so I�m definitely confident in our team. We just have to play in between the lines. I look forward to showing that to the world.�
The Packers� hopes for getting back to the Super Bowl rest first with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is at his prime at age 29 and among the premier players in the game, along with help from this year�s draft. Several players mentioned running backs Eddie Lacy (second round) and Johnathan Franklin (fourth round) as additions that can help the team immediately.
�We know we have good football players in this room,� Bulaga said, �and we know we�ve played good football in the past, have won a lot of games. That�s great, but this is a new season, a new team, and we�ll find out Week 1.�

Mark Pandori was worried. It was 2008, and he had just read the latest in a string of reports from Japan. The articles all described patients infected with a particular strain of gonorrhea that was less susceptible than usual to an important class of antibiotics. Pandori, director of the laboratory at the San Francisco Department of Public Health, knew that gonorrhea had become resistant to other antibiotics in past decades. Each time, the resistance seemed to arise in Asia and spread to California. He wondered if something new was heading across the Pacific.
The latest report from Japan described a test that could identify resistant strains of bacteria by isolating and amplifying the culprit gene. Pandori tried the procedure on 54 samples of gonorrhea bacteria collected that year from men in San Francisco. Five samples, or 9 percent, contained the altered gene. When he analyzed the bacteria in the lab, he found that they—like the Japanese strains—possessed partial resistance to cephalosporins, the only antibiotics that still work reliably and inexpensively against gonorrhea.
Pandori and his research partner at the time, a health department epidemiologist named Pennan Barry, were alarmed and baffled. No physicians in the state had reported any difficulties treating patients with gonorrhea. Cephalosporin resistance had apparently infiltrated California without anyone noticing. Perhaps it had started spreading across the country as well.
Last summer a surveillance network run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed their fears. Using a different test, the CDC demonstrated that up to 1.4 percent of 5,900 gonorrhea bacterial samples from around the U.S. had diminished susceptibility to cephalosporins, meaning they would succumb only to unusually high doses. A New England Journal of Medicine editorial published in February said the occurrence of that partial resistance increased 17 times between 2006 and 2011. "The threat of untreatable gonorrhea is emerging rapidly," the editorial warned.
That threat is troubling for two reasons. First, gonorrhea is abundant: it is the second-most reported infectious disease in the U.S., with more than 600,000 new cases a year. Second, if untreated, it can cause widespread organ damage, pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Making matter worse, our current methods for tracking and controlling gonorrhea are actually contributing to the spread of resistant disease.
A Slow But Steady Spread
Gonorrhea is the first of the major sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to tiptoe to the threshold of untreatability. True, chlamydia, which infects 426 of every 100,000 people in the country every year, is more common, and cases of syphilis, which doubled in incidence between 2000 and 2010, are growing faster. But syphilis infects only 4.5 of every 100,000 people, and neither chlamydia nor syphilis has developed significant resistance to antibiotics.
Gonorrhea, in contrast, has been developing defenses against drug treatment for decades. The latest news from Japan and California is making the disease a priority for public health planners—a status it has not known since before Alexander Fleming and the discovery of penicillin. Once antibiotics became abundant and inexpensive, gonorrhea and syphilis seemed like solved problems.
Neither infection was vanquished, however. Gonorrhea, in particular, held on by borrowing DNA from other bacteria to construct new microbiological defenses. It steadily gained resistance against entire classes of antibiotics: first the penicillins in the 1960s, then the tetracyclines in the 1980s, and Cipro and its chemical cousins, known as fluoroquinolones, in the 1990s. By 2000 the only class of drugs that could provide what public health strategies rely on—something that is inexpensive, delivered in a single dose and works well enough to obviate follow-up appointments—was the cephalosporins.

Feeling your toes is pretty important.
A thick, fleece shoe cover designed for riding in cold and windy conditions, the Castelli Narcisista Shoecover is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
The thick and fleecy portion of the Narcisista is Stratolight fabric. It's designed to provide superior insulation for your foot. Neoprene inserts also help to provide warmth and flexibility, while a plisse insert ensures a stretchy, foot-hugging fit. Perhaps most importantly, after input from riders on the Garmin-Cervelo professional cycling team, Castelli moved the Narcisista's zipper to the outside, making it harder for water to seep into your shoe and easier to adjust while riding.
The Castelli Narcisista Shoecover comes in Black and features reflective detailing on the back of the heel to increase visibility in low-light conditions (you know, the kind of conditions you'll be riding in if you want to have any chance of winning races in March and April). They come in five sizes from Small through XX-Large. Be sure to check the sizing chart to ensure proper fit.

Zipper Comes Undone Easily
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
The problem with this and all zippered cycling shoe covers is the zipper. The fits for these are intentionally tight against the shoe. It is very easy to put too much strain on the zipper. I ordered XXL to cover my size 48 shoes. I spend a few minutes each morning trying to get them on without the zipper becoming unlatched. Even with this extra care they have become almost unworkable. I want to stress that I am not a neophyte and I have been wearing cycling covers for 15 years. They simply do not last long. Word to the wise: be very careful putting them on your shoes. For the use I got out of them, I did like them (five stars) because they broke after a month I am downgrading them to three stars.

My zipper broke after 4 or 5 uses
LD in CT
Ended up taking my pair to a seamstress and had them put a better zipper on it. I used it only twice so far (thankfully the weather got warmer finally) but it seemed much better. The downside is that the cost of replacing the zippers was almost the cost of the boots to begin with.
Best shoes cover yet!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I had same cover for 2nd cold season now and I think it will last to the end of this season..maybe till next! I had other Castelli shoes covers that I won't comment on (great look but poor quality) but this one "Narcisista" has QUALITY and the LOOK that you won't be disappointed with. Be cautious! this is not a rain shoes cover, just to keep your feet warm. Make sure to wear Castelli Duo Windstopper Socks or rap your toes with a Aluminum foil over your winter socks to keep your toes warm…sometimes I add on Toe Thingy - warmers over my shoes before putting on Narcisista Shoes Cover if temperature drops below freezing to protect my toes! I wear Sidi size 44 and XL works…I usually pull down half way and take off my shoes and keep the cover on during the winter season unless hand wash to keep them clean.

Great Looking covers!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love the look, and fit of these covers. I have size 45 road shoes and the XL covers fit perfectly tight, but not too tight where its hard to get them on or off. They can take a very light sprinkle of rain, but any steady rain will get right through them. It keeps dirt of your shoes and keeps your toes very warm! I've had to take them off only once and that was 72+ degree weather, so that tells me they breath good as well! All in all I am very happy with them, but the logos on the back are peeled off over half way! I don't even stretch the backs on either, I just don't get it! CASTELLI PLEASE CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOGO YOUR CLOTHING! If I paid full price I would be really upset!

These boooties are very nice and will definitely keep your feet warm. You definitely want to size up 1 size. I have 45 shoes and bought the XL and they are nice and snug. However, here is the draw back; after wearing them on 3 rides the bottom seams are pulling apart and they are already tearing apart and have holes in them. There is very poor wearability to these.

Great Looking Shoe Covers!
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have a 44.5 shoe size and based on other reviews I went with XL. They fit perfectly, in fact, I think a 46 shoe size would be too big for these.
These are by far the most comfortable shoe covers I have ever worn, as you can see from the picture they have a different material on the ankle, which feels amazon, it lets your ankle move freely without the feeling of material compressing around you.
The zipper is on the outside, I actually don't mind that, a lot of people complain but for me I like to use the zipper while standing and it makes it easy just to lift my foot from the outside and zip it up or down from the side.
I have not tested these in wet conditions, but did ride in 40 degrees and my toes felt absolutely perfect.
The best part for me is that they look amazing, I like red so these go perfectly with my bike and other Castelli knickers and bibs I have. I have only used them a couple of times so I don't know how durable they will be, I'll update the review after the winter.
The only downside that I have found to them is that when I opened the package the scorpion in the back of the bootie was already deteriorated a little, when I went to the website to try to exchange them, they were gone. I'll have to keep these since I really like how they look.

Well Rounded Shoe Cover
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
First off, I have size 44.5 Giro Prolights and I went with an XL for the size on this shoe cover based off the charts and previous customer reviews. Granted the Prolight is a slim shoe and I have no issues getting the covers on or off.
This shoe cover is yet another quality product from Castelli. The fit is very snug and racelike as is with all Castelli gear. I take my time putting them on and taking them off but they seem like they can take a beating as the material is very stretchy. The zipper starts from the back heel and closes at the bottom of the calf. Maybe they changed the zipper since these last reviews but I don't see myself breaking it even if I tried. The top cover material itself doesn't seem 100% waterproof while riding in heavy rain but it's still got great water/wind-proof qualities. The bottom heel area and toe area also have a stronger material which is nice while you are unclipped and walking around. I've done quite a few rides sub-20 degrees on wet roads with snow coming down and my feet stayed comfy with proper socks and these covers over my shoes.
I don't know why I even bothered trying any other brand for shoe covers as I can always count on Castelli to put out a quality product.
Jason A.
How waterproof are these covers? Are they...
How waterproof are these covers? Are they suitable for cold, rainy rides? Thanks!
Mike Nelson
The Narcisista covers are made from water-resistant materials, but are not seam taped. If you are after true protection form the wet, consider the Diluvio or Estremo covers instead.
John T.
Good shoe cover
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:Runs small
Although I haven't had a lot of shoe covers to compare these are the best I've had but here are unbiased pros/cons.
FYI - Castelli sized them small in my opinion. I wear a 44 and got an XL and they were tight as hell. If i'd got an L I seriously doubt they would have ever fit.
* wraps around whole shoe not just strap across bottom
* Zipper - I hate Velcro. It often wears out
* warm
* form fitting to shoe. Mostly just looks cool rather than wearing giant boot looking thing.
* The zipper is on the outside. Although the reason stated is it reduces water from getting into your shoe (understandable) and adjusting while riding, they are much more difficult to put on, Especially if they are a tight TIGHT fit. I don't bend that way, Frankly there is no need for adjusting while riding. They are either on or off.
* I've used a couple of times on trails because the pair I used for mountain biking died. They do NOT stand up well for that. They don't claim to. Just saying, the bottoms are delicate. Walk seldom and with care in them.
I'm looking to replace the ones I bought now 2 years ago. I MIGHT get them again but at this very moment I am looking to see what else there is in there price range.
Great until zipper broke
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
Used them for about 4 rides, then the zipper gave up on me. Worked great until then, usually rode in temps ranging 30-40*. I'd love to get another pair because they look great, but can't imagine they'd hold up any better.
Pat K.
ditto, same here, zipper does not last
Ray Prevost
Me, too. Two pairs now. The first time, I got the recommended size—too tight and the zipper failed. Second pair I got XL. They were fine for one winter. First time I used them this year the zipper failed again.
Erick Brian
Lovely Shoe Covers, Work Great....for One Season Only?
So I've gone through two sets of shoe covers before, I don't really use them that often since I was living in Los Angeles and the weather is temperate, but for the possible five or six times I did use them, they were great!
I'm a size 10.5/11 and went with the XL size. They fit great, a little snug to get on, but once they're on they lock out the cold. Didn't get numb toes one bit.
What sucks: Zipper ripped at the seams, bottom heel area began to tear at the seams and I started to think perhaps I should've gone with the XXL.
Anyhow, they lasted longer than the Primal shoe covers I had which only made it one ride.
Seems like the shoecover product is still something that needs to be defined/reinvented since so many of these fall apart. Maybe I'll just borrow my mom's sewing machine and fix them since I doubt these have any warranty on them anymore.
Mark M.
They Fall Apart
These were great while they lasted, but after 5 rides they started tearing, and the zipper fatally broke before my 6th ride. DIY repairs only lasted 2 more rides when they started tearing in another spot.
Pat K.
same experience, zipper lasted 4 - 5 rides
Russ H.
horrible...2 rides and started to totally fall apart...stitched them up thinkin that would help...most any castelli things i've bought are like buying walmart toilet paper....NOT a good idea
Erick Brian
I tore up my Primal Wear booties at the zipper, then fixed them, then tore the cloth up. They sucked, and the material was as whack as the design.
Bought these. Now I show up to my Thursday night club rides and look like a baller.
They go on fine, the zipper is awesome, the design will make the girls holler, and they keep my feet warm.
Class act right here. Make sure you get the right fit for your shoes. I wore a 45 Specialized Expert Road Shoe and got the XL.
Erik Arizmendi
Best and most helpful review I have EVER read hahaha
C Joe B.
Head's up: mine tore putting them on the first time
Maybe my pair was defective but they tore when I put them on the first time. Normally Castelli quality is excellent but, as per some of the reviews below, the design seems not well thought through.
Of course RealCyclist is refunding, paying for return shipping, and the phone rep had multiple alternatives to suggest. Ah, I love quality customer service!
John Tye
Excellent but definitely UP SIZE!!!
I just got a pair of these a couple of weeks ago. Did great in 40 degree temp. I wear 44.5 shoes which I consider to be pretty average foot size but I followed other's recommendations and got size bigger. I got XL and that was pretty darn tight. If I would've got Large I seriously doubt I could've gotten them on. So definitely up size.
One stupid thing that EVERYBODY does wrong.. not sure why the zipper is on the outside.. it really should be on the inside. Then when I'm putting them on I can put my right foot on left leg to zip up and vice versa. Being on the outside makes for an unusual twisting... but I'll live.
Great Construction, worth it!
Excellent shoe cover. Before I bought this, I thought hard between the various Castelli choices, and I am very happy that I chose the Narcisista. It has the most detailed construction and it is well thought out. The zipper is great, very solid. The stretch is very nice. I purchased a L for my 43.5 and the fit is spot on. I used the covers on a mild morning, and they were excellent. A+ in my book, and im very happy to chose these over the other Castelli options.
Brian G.
Warm, but not durable
Been riding with these for the last month in 30-40 temps. No complaints on all but the coldest days. However, recently found holes on the bottom of these that appear to be due to the cover being stretched and tearing. I have an XL for 44.5 shoes, which is between L and XL according to the size chart.
James S.
Order one size up
I first ordered the XL for my size 11 shoes, and it was much too tight. I recommend going up one size.
I'd say goog to keep you'r feet warm through high 30's. Probably more ideal in low-mid 40's. fit is good. My shoe size is 44.5 specialized s-works, Large fits well in the Narcisista. I also have the Nanoflex and a large was too small -felt like the seems where going to burst at any moment. its hard to compare these to the nano's....these seem to have a boader range of temps (that is you can keep them on when it gets into 60's), but they dont do as well in the wind or rain. They are more comfortable, but dont have that quite as much of an aero feel. Nano's are better in wind and moist. Back zip on naon's sucks and digs into skin. side zip on these is great. the narcissita would be better if it had a wind-proof toe covering.

Murray Silverman, 97, and Muriel Siragher, 88, during their wedding ceremony in the chapel at the Hudson Valley Hospital Center Nov. 8. / Joe Larese/The Journal News
The fairytale wedding of two elderly Superstorm Sandy evacuees at a Westchester hospital earlier this month warmed the hearts of a weather-battered region.
But the couples happiness was short-lived: Just two weeks after 97-year-old Murray Silverman married Muriel Siragher, 88, a woman he knew for half a century, he died.
His only regret was that he didnt marry her sooner, Arthur Klein, Siraghers son-in-law, said Tuesday.
Silverman was buried Monday in California, where his children live.
His widow is sad, but grateful for the time they had together, Klein said.
The couple married in a hastily arranged yet joyful Jewish ceremony Nov. 8 at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt.
Silverman was taken there from the Yorktown home of one of Siraghers granddaughters. The couple, as well as Klein and his wife, ended up in Yorktown after they were chased from their New Jersey homes by the superstorm.
Silverman and Siragher met more than 50 years ago when both were married to other spouses and living in Brooklyn.
After both were widowed, they became a couple in 2006 traveling together and generally enjoying each others company.
They had talked about marriage, but put it off. After the superstorm and realizing Silvermans frail health, they decided to tie the knot. The hospital complied, arranging a ceremony, complete with wedding cake.
My mother-in-law was very sad, Klein said. But she had no regrets. Neither did he. They were happy for the time they had.

Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Health advisory issued for water contact at Sunset Bay State Park beach
A public health advisory was issued Thursday due to higher-than-normal levels of bacteria in ocean waters at Sunset Bay State Park beach in Coos County.
Water samples indicate higher-than-normal levels of fecal bacteria, which can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. Direct contact with the water should be avoided until the advisory is lifted, especially for children and the elderly, who may be more vulnerable to waterborne bacteria.
While this advisory is in effect at Sunset Bay State Park beach, visitors should avoid wading in nearby creeks or in discolored water, and stay clear of water runoff flowing into the ocean. Even if there is no advisory in effect, officials recommend avoiding swimming in the ocean within 48 hours after a rainstorm.
Although they discourage water contact, state officials say they continue to encourage other recreational activities on this beach because they pose no health risk even during an advisory. Neighboring beaches are not affected by this advisory.
Water quality is monitored at selected beaches along Oregon's coast by the Oregon Beach Monitoring Program. The program is funded by a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Oregon state agencies participating in this program are the Oregon Department of Human Services, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. More detailed test results are available at www.healthoregon.org/beach

2013 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 Sedan. / Honda
The interior features soft-touch surfaces. The speedometer and tachometer are large and easy to read. / Honda
Honda right-sized the Accord for 2013 into the heart of the midsize segment. / Honda
It's not exactly back to the future, but at a minimum, the * * * 2013 Accord midsize sedan takes Honda back to before 2008. That was when Honda introduced the last version of the Accord, and that was when one of America's favorite midsize sedans lost its way.
Bloated and uncompetitive, the '08 Accord trailed its competitors' technology and fuel economy. After decades as a customer and critical favorite for its value, performance and efficiency, the Accord was suddenly mediocre.
Honda right-sized the Accord for 2013, shrinking the car back into the heart of the midsize segment. A new engine and transmission also restore its accustomed status as a fuel-economy leader.
Honda builds a wide range of Accord models. Prices for the sedan start at $21,680 for one with a new direct-injected 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission.
The only automatic transmission available with that engine is a smooth new continuously variable unit. The least expensive Accord sedan with the CVT automatic starts at $22,480. Base prices for four-cylinder Accords extend to $29,995.
The Accord also has a 278-horsepower V6 teamed with a conventional six-speed automatic gearbox. Prices for a V6 Accord sedan start at $30,070 and extend to $33,430 for the top-of-the-line V6 Touring model.
I tested a four-cylinder Accord EX sedan that's nearly dead in the middle of the model line. The nicely equipped car I tested had no options and stickered at $25,405. All prices exclude destination charges.
Honda also builds an Accord coupe. It comes with the same engine and transmission choices. Prices range from $23,350 to $32,350.
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models of the Accord sedan should go on sale this summer. Prices for the plug-in will start at $39,780.
That broad model line notwithstanding, cars like the four-cylinder EX will comprise the great majority of Accord sedan sales. It competes with similarly priced versions of the Malibu, Fusion, Sonata, Optima, Camry and Passat.
The 2.4-liter provides good acceleration and throttle response. The engine gets buzzy at high r.p.m., but road and wind noise are fine.
The Accord is quiet, comfortable and acceptably responsive. The steering felt a bit vague and road holding may not match the Altima, Fusion and Malibu, but the suspension absorbs bumps smoothly.
The Accord sedan's strengths are passenger room and fuel economy. The interior is comfortable and accommodating, with good head, leg and shoulder room in the front and rear seats.
The interior features soft-touch surfaces. The speedometer and tachometer are large and easy to read.
A couple of glitches marred the car I tested. The latch on the sunglasses holder in the headliner worked poorly, sometimes refusing to open or close.
The voice-recognition system for hands-free phones requires more steps than the best competitors. The USB input is rather inconveniently located in the bottom of the center stack.
The Accord's biggest innovation is an unusual approach to blind-spot alert. Just about every automaker with a blind-spot alert uses a flashing light, and in some cases a chime, to let drivers know when somebody's in their blind spot on the right or left side of the car.
Honda took a different -- and I think inferior -- approach. Called Lane Watch, it displays an image of the two lanes to the right and behind the car on a video screen located in the center stack, near the radio and climate controls.
I found it ineffective and distracting. Unlike other automakers' systems that use sensors to tell you when a vehicle is in your blind spot, it operates only when you use the indicator for a right turn or lane change. There's no warning when you need it most -- when somebody's in the blind spot and you forget to indicate a lane change. The screen also lights up every time you use the right indicator, creating a new distraction by demanding your attention regardless of whether it has any information you need. It's a poor system.
The Accord four-cylinder's fuel economy, on the other hand, is very good. Excluding more expensive models that use hybrid technology to reduce fuel consumption, its EPA combined city and highway fuel economy rating of 30 m.p.g. beats every competitive midsize sedan except the Nissan Altima.
Honda's trip back to the future may not be a blockbuster, but fire up the flux capacitor. This sequel is worth a look.

Hello All. The monthly at Yucaipa is held at noon on the first Sunday of the month.
Contact Dave Coffey @ firstname.lastname@example.com
The February monthly will probably be rescheduled due to the Superbowl.
Hi SoCal, We have changed the monthly to 10AM on the first Sunday of each month.
We are also hosting a weekly every Friday at 5PM. (The parks have let us stay after closing time).
Year-round, rain or shine!! We have $2 Dubs on Wednesday @ Ford park in Redlands. Random flip for partners. Start 2 hours before sunset. presently starting @ 3pm. As the sun stays out later, we start later
fyi Felipe Arango left the state almost 2yrs ago shortly after the Riverside Golf Club closed down. So, there is no longer a monthly on the 3rd Saturday at Riverside GC.
Twila Reids Monthly is held the 1st Tuesday of the month 2 rounds of 12 holes. 24 total, short round and long round random doubles 5$ each 1$ ace pool. starts at 730pm. We also have the weekly on the other tuesdays which is only 12 holes not 24 also starts at 730pm
Sorry the monthly at twila is 10$ and the other tuesdays, when we play only 12 hole is 5$
El Dorado monthly for March 2012 did not take place — called Steve Loken Friday afternoon for info; he gave me thumbs up for next day. Bunch of guys standing around at 9:30-10am waiting for something to happen — called Loken again, but was told he was already dropped off at the course. Waited another 20 min with the crowd until someone claimed he had got in touch with the guy in charge, and "Jim" wasn't hosting the tournament on this day. Who's Jim? None of us were addressed by anyone named Steve. Kind of confused about the whole deal — hope things go smoother next month even if I'm unable to attend.
Oak Grove Weeklies needs to be updated. AM weeklies (handicapped) are tuesdays @ 5pm, and Pro weeklies are Wednesdays @ 5pm, during the summer months. Big Ted hasn't been at the course for a couple of years. Weeklies and Monthlies are run by GW.
Wednesday's at Huntington Beach are no longer doubles – participants now play one round (18 holes) with a handicap so everyone is in one division. Not sure about cost or prizes for this format.
Eric is not 100% accurate about HB. There is a random doubles tournament embedded within the singles event. $6 to play singles + $2 to enter doubles. Doubles winners get cash as well as Ace Pool winners, all other prizes are course credit.
Additional weekly info:
Monday – 7pm Verdugo Hills
Tuesday – 5pm Sylmar
Verdugo Hills Doubles, Friday 7pm (Pro/AM Random Draw)
Chavez Ridge Doubles, Tuesday 5pm (Random Flip)
So I just recently moved here from the east coast. Huge disc golf fan. Love playing in tournaments and checking out new courses.
Not knowing any locals to call I decided to take a chance and drive out to these places. This site seemed pretty legit. That was a mistake.
1) La Mirada does not have Friday random doubles at 5:30
2) Yucaipa does not have a monthly on the first Sunday of the month at 10:00 AM
I question whether or not any of these times are right. Spent about 100$ on gas for both. Don't make the same mistake. Sadly, I'm back to square one not having a clue when people play out here.
Oak Grove Monthly is the 3rd Sunday, Chavez Ridge Monthly is the 1st Sunday, Whittier Narrows is the 2nd Sunday, La Mirada Monthly is the 2nd Saturday, Chavez Ridge Doubles is Tuesdays at 5pm, Verdugo Hills Weekly is Monday at 7pm, Verdugo Hills Doubles (Pro/Am) is Friday at 7pm, Oak Grove handicapped weekly is Tuesdays 2.5 hours before sunset, This is all I know of and they are For Sure!
