Latest shoulder surgery Stories
Rotator cuff injuries and massive rotator cuff tears are common causes of shoulder pain.
Two studies on shoulder instability in a military population were presented today by U.S. Army sports medicine surgeons at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' annual meeting. Findings in one study suggest patients with a self-reported history of shoulder instability are far more likely to experience future instability, while the second study outlined key factors associated with surgical failure and concluded that arthroscopic surgical intervention has better outcomes than an open...
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have found that in comparison to open surgery, arthroscopic treatment of a common hip problem that leads to arthritis produces similar outcomes in terms of repairing structural problems in most patients.

2007-05-16 - This is shocking news for all THERION fans - the masters of Opera Metal have recently announced a significant change in the band camp. From Wacken Open Air and onwards, Mats Levén will no longer be singing with the band!"It was a decision taken by the whole band in discussion with Mats. This change of line up is on friendly terms and the remaining shows before Wacken will be performed with the same energy and passion as if nothing had happened", the band promises. "There are no bad feelings. THERION will continue to develop even further into the direction we set on the last tour and Mats will focus on his new projects." Of course, mastermind Christofer Johnsson has already found a suitable replacement. "The new guy will be Thomas Vikström. He is probably most known in the metal world for singing on a CANDLEMASS album ('Chapter VI'). His great vocal abilities will for sure be more known at least among the THERION fans after the tour."

McCoughtry leads Dream past Liberty
NEW YORK The Atlanta Dream shook off any ill effects of a nine-day layoff and showed why they topped the Eastern Conference for most of the season.
Angel McCoughtry scored 13 of her 21 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Dream to an 81-75 victory over the New York Liberty in the opener of the best-of-three conference finals Sunday night.
"The Atlanta Dream just refused to lose tonight," coach and general manager Marynell Meadors said. "(We) played well. We showed a few of the effects of possibly that layoff between games, but I thought we really fought hard."
Sancho Lyttle had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and Erika DeSouza added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Dream, who scored the final seven points over the last 45 seconds.
Atlanta, playing for the first time since finishing a first-round sweep of Washington on Aug. 27, led the East before losing six of their last seven and finishing fourth.
"If we had stayed on top, we probably would have played a team that gave us a little bit of trouble at the beginning," Lyttle said. "But we came out, fought and we had a hunger. We needed to get back where we started. We were like 'we can't believe we were first and then we almost didn't make it.'"
Game 2 is Tuesday night in Atlanta, with Game 3, if necessary, back at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. The winner will advance to the WNBA finals against Seattle, which beat Phoenix 91-88 on Sunday to complete a sweep in the West finals.
Atlanta, which led the league in rebounding, finished with a 40-28 edge on the boards against New York. The Dream also outscored the Liberty 50-34 in the paint, and had 22 second-chance points - to just seven for New York.
"We found ways to be big, and I thought Sancho Lyttle was definitely a huge factor in our success tonight," Meadors said. "We have to look back at the way we built the Atlanta Dream. It's built on speed, quickness, depth and balance."
Cappie Pondexter scored eight of her 24 points in the final 4 1/2 minutes, and her two free throws put the Liberty ahead 75-74 with under 55 seconds remaining, but they didn't score again.
Plenette Pierson had 18 points, and Nicole Powell added 15 for New York, which played again without leading rebounder Janel McCarville (sprained left ankle).
"I don't know what our mindset was coming into the game, but I don't think it was aggressive enough," Pondexter said. "Atlanta did a great job of just coming out with energy because sometimes when you have too many days off you come out really flat, but they didn't."
After Pondexter's go-ahead free throws, McCoughtry - who scored 12 straight points for the Dream down the stretch - made two from the line to put Atlanta back ahead by one with 44.2 seconds left.
"Angel is that type of player," Meadors said of the second-year forward who was rookie of the year last season. "She's been that way her entire career, which is short in the WNBA. ... When she was at the University of Louisville, she put them on her back ... and I thought she did a lot of that tonight."

Must love dogs
Hi there! I'm Sarah. As evidenced by my caption, I am an animal fanatic. No I am not a crazy cat lady, but I am in my third year of veterinary school and am looking forward to beginning my clinical year this spring. Veterinary medicine is one of my passions and I am looking for someone who is similarly passionate about their career. While school definitely keeps me busy, I strive to maintain balance with the rest of my life. My family and friends are extremely important to me, and I enjoy spending plenty of time with them. Around the cities, I enjoy dining out, going for walks around the lakes or at dog parks, grilling out during the summer, and skiing during the winter. I love a good book, snuggling up by the fireplace in the winter. I'm definitely more of a morning person, but enjoy going out in the evening for a good beer. I am always up for going out to sporting events (finally got to my first Gopher game in the new stadium), concerts, or theater. I am a very outdoorsy person and prefer to get outside as much as possible, whether it is hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, fishing, hunting, you name it. I love traveling, but haven't gone too many places lately, mostly to the lakes and visiting my family in Colorado. I tend to be on the shy side, but enjoy good conversation and great company, and once you get to know me I can be quite chatty. I am looking for someone who is driven, well-educated, and motivated, someone who is spontaneous and is up for relaxing at home or going out to explore the city or local parks. Someone who loves animals of all kinds is a must! My family is a huge part of my life and I am looking for someone who is close to his family. If this sounds like you, definitely send me an email and we can see where things go :)

The Minister said about 25,000 to 30,000 persons are selected each year for officers' posts in banks. The hiring for clerical posts is also in the same range.
The government has allowed seven state-run banks to raise capital from market as part of efforts to help them comply with global Basel III banking rules, a finance ministry statement said.
Government is in the process of finding non-executive chairmen for PSU banks and it has already appointed MD's and CEO's in 5 public sector banks.
Public sector banks may turn to equity markets and other alternative sources of capital in order to compensate for a smaller cash injection from the government this year, a senior official said.
India's state banks are under pressure to improve profitability and slash bad loans, creating a more agile sector to help fuel economic growth.
Bankers say exemption from paying dividends will help banks push credit growth, which has not picked up in the last quarter.
PSBs had 73.2% and 73.9% market share in credits and deposits respectively as of end March 2014, as per the latest report by the Reserve Bank.
The finance ministry, RBI and other key ministries such as road, power and shipping will meet banks to review the progress in some major infrastructure projects.

I feel like I haven't seen Holly Peers perfect chesty delights in forever. Even an hour away from her nurturing mammaries is too long for any man, let alone a baby, to endure.
Featured in this month's Zoo magazine, Holly shows why she doesn't need much styling or set decoration, let alone wardrobe, to be the belle of the visual ball. She's the kind of neighbor lady you hope doesn't install shades because she assumes nobody would be crazy enough to build a fifty-foot ladder of thatch and gum just to peek into her boudoir. Those are the kind of neighbor ladies that have yet to live next door to me. I'd build an escalator to the moon for the chance to see Holly lotioning her perfect jugs each evening. Then I'd never get off of it. Damn, Holly, you get me every time. Enjoy.

I, Gracie Lee Harris, do hereby declare I had nothing to do with the murder of my two-timing, con man husband. But I do know three women who could have killed Dennis: his devoted mother who gave him her life savings—which he squandered; his disillusioned daughter who gave him her college fund— again, squandered; and his pregnant almost-fiancée, whom he'd left with empty promises and unpaid bills.

I, Gracie Lee Harris, do hereby declare I had nothing to do with the murder of my two-timing, con man husband. But I do know three women who could have killed Dennis: his devoted mother who gave him her life savings—which he squandered; his disillusioned daughter who gave him her college fund— again, squandered; and his pregnant almost-fiancée, whom he'd left with empty promises and unpaid bills.
With the help of some new friends—and the Lord—I'll find the killer hopefully without becoming the next victim!
First, I want to go on record as saying that I, Gracie Lee Harris, did not kill my husband, Dennis Peete. When he died I still thought he was my loving husband, and I had no desire to kill him. That mostly came later. Now if you put me under oath in a court of law and asked me to swear I'd never thought about killing his mother, that would be another story. I've thought about that plenty, but nobody's going to come get me on that one.
To the best of my knowledge I've never killed anybody...yet. Even when my first husband, the charming Mr. Harris, dragged me through a divorce I didn't want, and left me with a two-year-old son, I didn't commit murder. I even kept his name so that it would be less confusing for Ben. When it comes to murder, everybody has fantasies, I suspect. But I usually aim mine in other directions. And lately there's been so much going on in real life, who has time for fantasies?
Even so, I'm usually pretty good in a crisis. Everybody has strong points and that's one of mine. So it took a long time for the big, disastrous things in my life to boot me over the edge this time. Maybe it was just taking a chance on love, or life -- or whatever -- that tilted the balance. If so, that's too bad, because I'm not likely to stop taking chances.
The chances I took earlier in life usually worked out well. The ones I've taken in my relationship with Dennis Peete have been bad news. People who take chances around Dennis don't always fare so well.
Goodness knows I haven't, even before he died. I took a chance on marrying him, and then later another chance nine months ago and sold my condo in Missouri, quit my job and picked up stakes to move out here to California with him, even though he advised against it.
So far, my time here in beautiful downtown Rancho Conejo (and yes, if you speak Spanish, the town is named Rabbit Ranch) has been one big chance after another. Many of those chances have involved the roller-coaster ride of living with my mother-in-law, which I thought would work out just fine even though Dennis thought otherwise.
At the time I thought some of his arguments against our shared living arrangement were almost sweet. Part of the reason he didn't want me out here was that he was pouring all his -- and my -- money into his franchise business, and living with his mother to save on rent. Silly me. I decided if he was willing to take that chance, I was too. Now I wonder. Who knows? If it weren't for my taking chances, maybe Dennis would still be alive. * * *
No, I can't fault myself for taking chances. The first big chance I took threw me straight back into the arms of Jesus, clinging to the little bits of sanity that still exist in my disordered life. Without taking chances, my life wouldn't be worth much.
The biggest chance lately came while I was wander-ing through the college bookstore at Pacific Oaks Christian College, picking up books and putting them back during the first week of this semester. By the end of January when my second semester of grad school started, Dennis had been out of work and in a coma at Conejo Care for four months. Money was tight and I was dither-ing about how many of these hideously expensive textbooks I could actually afford.
For about the hundredth time, I was wishing Dennis had shared a little more information about business while he still had the chance. The $30k from the sale of my condo could have gone a long way toward this new education I'd committed to before his car accident. I'd done my best trying to find it in his investments, but so far was having precious little luck.
So there I am, walking up and down the psychology and education stacks in the campus bookstore when the dam finally bursts. Like I said before, I'm good in a crisis. I do not lose it in public. This time, however, was different. Juggling a pile of outrageously expensive books, taking one off the stack I carried only to be faced with putting another one back, finally put me in tears. Add that to the fact that what I could afford in the way of school supplies made a pile I should have had a cart for, but kept dropping instead, and you can see the lovely picture I presented.
Then somebody came up behind me and a voice said, "You look like you could use some help."
It was a nice voice, so I didn't immediately turn, snarling, and bite her head off, which was my first impulse. "Oh, no. Does it show that badly?" I asked. My voice sounded wavery even to me as I turned around. The tears really started in earnest then, and I was afraid I was going to do one of those awful heaving sob things, like toddlers do when they're too tired.
"Well, I was talking about the books," the stranger said, holding out a handled basket. "But yeah, now that you mention it..."
Two minutes later the bookstore's assistant manager, Linnette Parks, was my new best friend. "She has the decaf. I've got the real thing," she directed the teenaged waitress at the Coffee Corner, the shop adjoining the bookstore, who came to the table bearing two foaming lattes.
"Now let me get this straight," she said, handing me a napkin out of the tabletop dispenser. I was still a bit of a mess. "You're living with your mother-in-law. Alone."
"Since Dennis's accident. About five months ago."
"From what you've said so far, she sounds like a harridan."
I shrugged. "Maybe that's a little harsh. Without Dennis to referee, our life together has been kind of grim at times. He could manage his mother -- Edna thinks he walks on water. I'm just the horrible woman who stole him away and made him stay in Missouri for years longer than he should have, according to her."
"And before the accident, he was traveling a lot?"
"From the day I moved out here. And before I could even harp on that properly like a normal wife, he had a terrible accident that put him in the hospital, and then into one of those places euphemistically called 'long-term care."
Linnette looked at me over her latte. "What are the prospects of him recovering?"

Fun read! Yes, it¿s improbable that Gracie and her husband¿s pregnant ¿fiancee¿ would show up at the same small woman¿s group but God does work in mysterious ways. And, yes, it¿s unlikely that friendship would develop so quickly among the women in the group but it does happen. What should be even more unlikely is that Dennis, Gracie¿s husband, would be such a scoundrel, preying off woman after woman, but the evening news tells us that it happens! Despite the deaths and the miserable people in this book, it was enjoyable. I think I¿ll look for the next in the series.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

This was a fun book. It's not your normal Christian happy family novel. There isn't really a happy, let's tie up all the ends, everyone hugs ending. And Dennis commits huge sins that he never repents for. Which is fine with me, to me that is more realistic than him getting a deathbed conversion. I really could not stand her mother in law or her step daughter. I know mothers are usually blind to their children's faults but Edna was just unbearable. I also found it interesting at how the ex-wives got along well with each other. Of course they had something in common, but it was interesting at how there wasn't any animosity. Although I did find it rather unbelievable that both Gracie and Heather would turn up in the same small group at church. I mean unless God planned it that way on purpose, the odds of a wife and her husband's mistress that were miles apart showing up together, is not strong. I thought Gracie had a good relationship with her son as opposed to Dennis' relationship with his daughter. I enjoyed reading about Gracie learning to use instant messaging to talk to Ben. It's cool when parents try to relate with their kids and I like reading about adults who do attempt to learn how to use the computer as opposed to those who just write it off as only something for the younger generation. Reading this book also shows how AIM could save your life! Good fun read, lucky for me I have the next book in the series on my bookshelf.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Molnlycke Health Care manufactures and distributes Hibiclens®, an antiseptic antimicrobial skin cleanser that contains four percent CHG. Hibiclens binds to the skin and continues to actively kill germs for up to six hours without leaving a residue. This is just one way to protect skin between and during competition.
"Hibiclens has become an integral part in our wrestling program at West Virginia University. It is the first line of defense for the prevention of skin-related diseases that are so common to our sport. Our wrestlers have seen first-hand the effectiveness of Hibiclens by showering with it on a daily basis after practice. We have seen a significant drop in the number of our practices and matches lost to skin diseases," said Kevin Kotsko, assistant athletic trainer, West Virginia University.
Wrestlers are at higher risk for skin infections than other athletes due to the constant skin-to-skin contact and exposure to cuts, sores, bodily fluids and shared equipment, such as mats. MRSA is spread through direct skin contact or contact with shared items or surfaces that have come in contact with the bacteria. MRSA infections are usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils that are red, swollen and painful.

Fresh plea seeks CBI probe into charges against Chief Minister's Office, Ministers
Justice K. Harilal of the Kerala High Court on Thursday recused himself from hearing a petition against the Thrissur Vigilance Court order dismissing a plea for a Vigilance probe into the allegations against Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, Congress Ministers, and MLAs in connection with the solar scam and their alleged links with the accused Saritha S. Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan.
Mr. Justice Harilal ordered that it be posted before another judge when the petition by George Vattukulam, president, Kerala Malayala Vedi (Forum), was taken up for hearing.
The petitioner alleged that Saritha and Biju had collected huge money promising to install solar panels and making customers believe that it was a project of the governments at the Centre and in the State.
Besides the Chief Minister, allegations of corruption had been raised against the Home Minister; Ministers A.P. Anil Kumar, Adoor Prakash, Shibu Baby John, and K.C. Joseph; Benny Behnan and Hiby Eden, MLAs; and former Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar.
The Vigilance court had dismissed the petition saying that it was filed to tarnish the image of the Ministers and MLAs.
Another petition
Meanwhile, another petition was filed in the court seeking an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the allegations levelled against the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) and other Ministers in connection with the solar case. The petitioner alleged that the investigation conducted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) into a complaint of Sreedharan Nair had not been proper. The government had handpicked officers amenable to the ruling United Democratic Front for constituting the SIT.
He alleged that no scientific investigation had been conducted by the SIT by involving C-DIT or using the services of the Forensic Science Laboratory. The petitioner pointed out that even the allegation of Mr. Nair that he had visited the CMO along with Saritha and that he had invested in the solar company on the basis of an assurance from the CMO had not been investigated.

Current / Slices
Earlier this week, Buzzfeed—continuing its bid for legitimacy—published a lengthy interview with President Barack Obama which covered a variety of intriguing topics. For example, Obama finds both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton to be "highly qualified" candidates for the presidency, he thinks Vladimir Putin "has a foot very much in the Soviet past" and, notably, dismissed the idea that the "coalition" of people who elected him would automatically support the next Democratic nominee. "I don't think any president inherits a coalition," he said. "I think any candidate has to win over people based on what they stand for, what their message is, what their vision is for the future."
Interesting points but this is still Buzzfeed, and Buzzfeed being what it is (and the Obama Administration's media strategy being what it is) you know the President wasn't getting out of there without some sort of viral-ready video ...
You never know what the Internet is going to give you on any given day, which is why it's important to stay on your toes. Tomorrow it might be a ferret who correctly predicted the Super Bowl, and next week it might be Anna Kendrick unwrapping a Starburst with her tongue. Today, however, it's President Barack Obama being edited to sing "Shake It Off." Why? Don't ask why. It's the Internet. You figure it out ... Discuss
On Thursday, President Barack Obama gave an address at the National Prayer Breakfast, in which he gave a strong condemnation of groups that use religion to justify violence. The remarks were an obvious reference to recent horrors committed by ISIS, but Obama acknowledged that Christianity has its own skeletons.
Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.
That's an undeniable point, but it's one that opened Obama up to some of that religious questioning he referenced last week. Bill Donahue from The Catholic League said he felt it was "an attempt to deflect guilt from Muslim madmen." Breitbart called it "a lesson in moral relativism." Both seemed to miss the point the President was trying to make, but that's the Internet for you. In any case, Obama was roundly applauded for later remarks in which he called for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini from Iran. You can listen to the whole speech below ... Discuss
Speaking at the Siri Fort auditorium in India, President Barack Obama addressed some of the accusations of his personal faith and encouraged religious tolerance in India. "In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith," he said. "But there have been times that my faith has at times been questioned by people who don't know me or they've said I adhere to a different religion—as if that were somehow a bad thing."
Obama went on to encourage India to embrace those of all faiths. "Our nations are strongest when we see that we are all God's children—all equal in His eyes and worthy of His love," he said. "Across our two great countries, we have Hindus and Muslims, Christians and Sikhs, and Jews and Buddhists, and Jains and so many faiths. And we remember the wisdom of Gandhi, [who said], 'For me, the different religions are beautiful flowers from the same garden, or they are branches of the same majestic tree.'" You can hear the full speech here ... Discuss
On Monday, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) confirmed reports that, yes, he presented at a gathering hosted by white supremacist leaders in 2002. The rumors first started swirling when Stormfront—a Neo-Nazi site we don't care to post a link to—mentioned Scalise had spoken at the conference, hosted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO). Scalise, who became House majority whip earlier this year, has confirmed those rumors, but insists he was unaware of the group's racist and Neo-Nazi ties, or that it was founded by KKK golden boy, David Duke. There is no recording or transcript of the speech (yet), but Scalise's spokeswoman insists that he "has never been affiliated with the abhorrent group in question."
Rep. Steven King (R-Iowa) told reporters he stands by Scalise, noting that "Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners." On the other hand, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) told The Washington Post that "I think it's a real test for Speaker Boehner as to whether Congressman Scalise should remain in Republican leadership" ... Discuss
On Friday, Rabbi David Saperstein, a former law professor and director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, was finally confirmed as the new U.S. ambassador of international religious freedom by the Senate. He will be the first non-Christian to fill the role, which has been vacant since October of 2013. Nevertheless, numerous Christians—including the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission's Russell Moore and former ambassador Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA)—have given Rabbi Saperstein their broad support. "Like most Jews, I know all too well that, over the centuries, the Jewish people have been a quintessential victim of religious persecution, ethnic cleansing, and demonization," Saperstein was quoted as saying at his confirmation hearing last September. "We have learned, firsthand, the costs to the universal rights, security and well-being of religious communities when good people remain silent in the face of such persecution" ... Discuss

Ah but the point you miss is that if you can't tell the difference between the cards in gameplay, we get down to things like angle dependent AF, inferior transparency AA, no PhysX, no CUDA, less RAM, worse warranties, no step up program, worse service.
The 4870 just isn't a "no brainer" since NVIDIA lowered the price on the GTX260. A buyer might put up with the above for $100 less, but for the same price? For what? To get unnoticeable FPS differences and DX10.1?
Uh huh.

Yeah I thought so.
Like I said, proving the 4870 is "better" than the GTX260 because it compares to the 280 in a handful of benches and the 260 doesn't is sort of whack.
I guess at the end of the day all we can say is for the last 19 months all ATi's techs can do is come up with second best tech, probably because they have budget constraints given AMDs ginormous debt load and consecutive losses in preceding quarters.

This event was the vision of Tim Selinske and it's all about having a good time and embracing the sport of disc golf in a Match Play Team environment. If you compete in NorCal or SoCal tournaments, you are earning points. After the NorCal and SoCal Championships are wrapped up, the Team Captains (Michael Travers, NorCal and Mike Byrne, SoCal) send out invitations to the top points leaders in most divisions. It is an honor to be invited to this event and an event I look forward to each year.

Strong Showing by Southern California Disc Golfers at 2014 Am Worlds
Things are just getting back to normal on the disc golf courses around Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota after the hubbub of 612 disc golfers competing for the PDGA Amateur World Championships. But a few Southern California disc golfers brought some of that excitement back home with them.
San Diego's Vanessa Van Dyken kept her perfect PDGA tournament record alive at 7-0 by winning the Advanced Women's division (FA1) at this year's Am Worlds. Vanessa took the lead after shooting the hot round (53) in the 3rd round and never looked back on her way to a 6-shot win. Smashboxxtv was providing lots of live video coverage of the tournament play, and you can see their full round played at Bryant Lake here.
Santa Barbara's Mark Hauser is a fixture in SoCal Disc Golf. Mark has 38 PDGA wins since 2001, including seven (yes, seven!) Tim Selinske U.S. Masters titles in the Advanced Grandmaster division. Mark had come in second twice, third and fifth at Am Worlds, but this year he took the title in Men's Advanced Senior Grandmasters (MS1)! After dueling with Florida's Michael Schweitzer for the first three rounds, Mark took the lead in round #4 and cruised to a 19-shot victory. Congrats Dr. Mark!
Perhaps the most buzz around SoCal last week was generated by the play of Robert "Robot" Smith of Fountain Valley, playing in the Advanced Men's division (MA1). Robot shot out of the gate quickly with a 1030-rated first round and held the lead after the first, second and third rounds. He stumbled a little during the fourth round to drop into second place but quickly stormed back in the fifth round to regain the lead. His cardmates picked up strokes on him in round six and the semi-finals as the top four players were all tied up going in to the 9-hole finals. Robot stumbled on the first few holes of the final and ended up taking third place, but he was an obvious crowd favorite with his massive drives. Several of Robot's rounds are available for viewing on Smashboxxtv's YouTube page.
Congrats to all of the SoCal disc golfers who made the trip to Minnesota, and thanks for representing us proudly!

Golden Sombrero Series Wraps Up This Weekend
The 2014 Golden Sombrero of Ice Bowls has will be the biggest in the series' history. Begun as the "Triple Crown of Ice Bowls" (Redlands, Palm Desert, San Marcos) in 2008 by Bill Maury-Holmes and Allen Risley, the series has evolved into nine charity events crammed into the first two months of the year. The series changed its name one year later with the addition of a fourth event (Sun Valley/San Diego) to the Golden Sombrero Series and has kept that moniker ever since.
Each year the series has crowned a champion, who is awarded a golden, decorated sombrero at the series-closing event. In the early years the champion was the player who beat the most other players at all of the events combined. As the series grew it was decided to put a cap on the number of events included in a player's points total, and that cap has been set at four events. Players receive a point for each other player in an event who they beat (no points for players tied). Since many of the Ice Bowl events allow for the use of mulligans ($1 each), some have argued that it's possible to buy a series win. With the addition of the Ice Bowl in Paradise in 2011 and inclusion of the San Marcos Super Ice Bowl – neither of which included mulligan use – that claim is harder to defend.
This year's series has had a record number of players so far, with 318 participating in the first seven events, thanks to big turnouts at Chavez (83), Yucaipa (64) and Murrieta (64). This year's series championship is still up for grabs going into the final two events this weekend – the Wrightwood Ice Bowl and the San Diego Ice Bowl @ Mission Bay. The current top 5 players are listed below with their point totals (and number of events played in parentheses):
- A.J. Risley – 214 points (5 events played)
- Danny Zwolenski – 176 (6)
- Chris Horn 173 (3)
- Allen Risley 152 (5)
- (tie) Bill Maury-Holmes 148 (3), Jason Perdue 148 (3)
Four-time defending champion A.J. Risley is currently in the lead with 214 points. Since neither A.J. nor 2009 champ Allen Risley are playing in Ice Bowls this weekend, their scores will not change. But other players still have a shot:
- Danny Zwolenski can catch A.J. if he can beat 72 players in one of the events and none of the other top players pass him.
- Likewise for Chris Horn, who needs to beat 42 players at Wrightwood to pass A.J. (Chris needs to hope for more walk-up entrants on Saturday, current registration is 37).
- Bill Maury-Holmes needs to beat at least 67 players at Wrightwood, which is not likely to happen (sorry Bill).
- Jason Perdue needs to beat 67 players at either Wrightwood or Mission Bay to pass A.J. He is unlikely to have enough players in the field at Wrightwood, but the Mission Bay field is 94 players, which gives him a strong chance.
So don't expect to know the outcome of the Golden Sombrero championship race until late in the evening on Sunday (Mission Bay is played under the lights). But we already know the big winners from this year's Golden Sombrero Series of Ice Bowls – the local charities that will be receiving cash and canned food donated by our players!

SoCal Series Heats Back Up!
Summer is coming to an end, and it's back-to-school time for many. It's also Back-to-the-SoCal-Series time, as the schedule picks back up after a semi-hiatus for Am and Pro Worlds. Oh yeah, speaking of Pro Worlds…SoCal native Paul "McBeast" McBeth chalked up his second straight PDGA Worlds title with a 5-shot win over Dave "Feldbeard" Feldberg. Steve Rico made a run at the top card, finishing 7th overall and HB's Kyle Eckmann got some great mid-week DiscGolfPlanet.tv exposure on the lead card before fading to 14th place. Congrats to all of our SoCal disc golfers that made the trip to Pro Worlds at Lemon Lake, Indiana and Am Worlds at Emporia, Kansas!
The Skyhigh Showdown signaled to return to activity for SoCal disc golf, with Suzette Simons putting on another great event for 193 players at the 7000-ft. high Skyhigh disc golf course. A weekend of dry, but windy weather provided challenges for the players, but many who had played last year remarked about how much nicer it was to not finish amidst lightning and hailstones. Steve Rico gobbled up a ton of SoCal Series points in his 6-stroke win over the Men's Open division. Shadd Wade, Logan Turner and Chris Brophy tied for second place. Other tournament highlights included 14-year-old Connor Hanrahan's 4-shot win in Men's Advanced and Anthony Bassett's win in Advanced Masters, noteworthy because Anthony played 108 holes as part of the "Ironman" competition. Full results for the Skyhigh Showdown are available at PDGA.com.
September is a busy month for the SoCal Series, with three events on the schedule. First up is The Open @ Sun Valley (Sept. 7/8), filling the spot traditionally held by the Sun Valley Open. Same location, same great 18-hole layout on the hilly ball golf course, just different TD's. Two weeks later (Sept. 21) at Verdugo Hills is another tournament held on a ball golf course – the Verdugo Hills Open. TD Gary Sandoval has put together a 1-day, 2-round event on the popular Verdugo Hills layout, with some of the best elevation-change holes in SoCal. September rounds out with a tournament that brings the SoCal Series back to one of the older courses in the region, Whittier Narrows. The Blue Heron Open presented by Arroyo Disc Sports (Sept. 28/29) is the first PDGA-sanctioned event run by Logan Turner and the Arroyo boys, and we're looking forward to it. Looking ahead to October, the ever fun Chavez Ridge DGC hosts the Fling XVII, with the return of the ever popular Freeway Hole. Sign up for these events today!

Coming Up, Going Down…
Years ago, the International Frisbee Association (IFA) put out a wonderful magazine called Frisbee World (later changed to Frisbee disc World, because of trademark issues). The brainchild of Dan "Stork" Roddick, it was the best way to keep up with news about what was going on in the world of Frisbee (come get me, Mattel!). One of my favorite parts of the mag was the sections called "Coming Up" and "Going Down", where you could see a list of upcoming big events and then the results from those events. This was loooooong before the instant news fix of the Interwebs, so it was often months before we back on the east coast knew who had won the U.S. Open at La Mirada, or the WFC held at the Rose Bowl.
So I've decided to draw upon that great idea from the past and initiate a "sorta-regular-ish" feature for the SoCal website: Ups & Downs. I'll try to do it near the beginning of each month, and list some interesting things that happened in the past month and other interesting things that are coming up. As always, if you have something you'd like to crow about or drum up interest in, please send me a message at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd really like to have other voices represented on this website, not just mine. -Allen Risley
With that explained, here are the Ups & Downs – things coming up soon and things that went down recently:
Going Down:
- Huntington Beach: HB made it back on the PDGA and SoCal schedules, holding their City Championship January 12/13. There were some grumbles about the lack of online registration and delays on getting results, but dammit, Jerry Davis ran an event at HB!!! Lots of good comments about how things were run and the quality of play. Hometown hero and current World Champion Paul McBeth started off 2013 as a winner, with a 4-stroke win over Kyle Eckman. Paul's 1080-rated final 9 accounted for three of those strokes – Stewart Mendenhall and Max Nichols rounded out the final 9 group. Other Pro division winners: Brittany Blair (FPO), Mark Collicott (MPM) Robbie Wilson (MPG) and Tom Clickner (MPS). Am division winners: Taylor Mate (MA1), Anthony Bassett (MM1), Richard Ewald (MA2), Jeremy Fairchild (MA3), Rebecca Anderson (FW3), Jacob Courtis (MJ3).
- Ice Bowl Season is Here!: SoCal's "Golden Sombrero Series of Ice Bowls" is back for it's 5th season, with eight events on the schedule. Four have already occurred:
- Redlands – Golden Sombrero originator Bill Maury-Holmes drew 48 players to Ford Park in Redlands to kick off the series. A.J. Risley took the win, after a playoff with Nick Wright and Nick Novoa. All three had shot 18-down, with the help of a few mulligans. Dave Phillips won the "Metal or Nada" round, with 2 metal hits on the final 9 holes. $715 and 3 cans of food were collected for Redlands Family Services.
- San Marcos – 50 players showed up in San Marcos the next day to tackle Montiel Park. Mark Verrochi stole the show, wining the event with 23-under 58. A.J. Risley and Bill Maury-Holmes were just two shots back at 60 (yes, there were mulligans). Mark also took home a basket for his ace of hole #4, beating Kyle Becker and Austen Stringfield in a CTP playoff. $700 and 100 lbs of canned food were collected for the North County Food Bank.
- Chavez Ridge – The Ice Bowl in Paradise was finally played in dry weather! 80 players enjoyed the view from the freeway hole, but Steve Rico had the most fun, shooting 12-down to best Chris Brophy (-8), A.J. Risley (-7) and Texan Chris Pepperling (-7). Other division winners: Todd Banks (MPM), Tom Clickner (MPS), Bill Richards (MPL), AdaZm Nash (MA1), Chris Calleton (MM1), Dave Hadder (MG1), Dan Ford (MA2), Stewart Coleman (MA3), Connor Wright (MJ3) and Jake Wilson (MJ4).
- Yucaipa – We know an Ice Bowl happened here…we just haven't heard the results yet.
- Stuff other than tournaments happened too, recently. New discs from Innova (Roc3, Tern, McPro Aviar) and Legacy (Patriot, Rival), a new backpack bag from No Excuses, and cool videos from Arroyo. Talk of a new course in west L.A. at the Kenneth Hahn Recreational Area and an expansion of Mountain Pride Park in Murrieta from 9 to 18. Oh, and there's a new disc golf company called Prodigy and they stole a bunch of sponsored layers from other teams.
Coming Up:
- More Ice Bowls!: Sycuan (El Cajon) on 2/2, Murrieta on 2/16, Wrightwood (yes, real ice) on 2/23 and Mission Bay (San Diego) on 2/24.
- The 35th Annual (gulp!) Wintertime Open is back again. TD Mark Horn welcomes us back to where it all started: Oak Grove. Am weekend 2/9-10, Pro weekend 2/16-17.
- Another "One Night Stand" at Verdugo Hills on 3/9. Gary Sandoval's attempt to turn us all into insomniacs.
- The return of La Mirada to the PDGA and SoCal schedule! West Coast Disc Golf makes it happen for two days in March (3/23-24) and it's a Vibram Open qualifier to boot!
- Goat Hill moves to an earlier date. Can you say Cinco de Goato?
That's all I got for now. Make something happen and write about it! Remember, Thoughts Become Things!

2012 – Year-end Wrap-up
Well, 2012 is winding down, and it was a big year for disc golf in SoCal. Eighteen events on the SoCal Series schedule (and it seemed half of them were run by Gary "Ironman" Sandoval!), a new ball golf/disc golf course in the SoCal Series (Verdugo Hills), a SoCal Series tournament with three venues in one day (Cannonball Run), the return of Eldo to the schedule, seven Ice Bowls, new courses all over (Murrieta, Vista, Burbank, Lompoc, Redlands and other private courses, I'm sure), rapid growth by Legacy and continued Innova-tion from Innova, great play from upstarts and old farts alike and a PDGA World Champion with SoCal roots. Whew. The SoCal Disc Golf Club also saw some changes, with a new crop of board members, new website, Facebook and Twitter presences.
The competition throughout the SoCal Series was hot. Steve Rico held the lead in Men's Open all year, but always had Philo and Max Nichols nipping at his heels. Indigo Brude took the Ladies' Open title, and almost won Men's Rec too! A.J. Risley won Men's Advanced and finished 5th in Men's Open – he played enough events to collect the most points by any player this year (438). But the closest race of the year was in Men's Pro Grandmasters, where Steve Killian and Todd Banks both finished with 112 points. Steve won the title based on the tie-breaker: playing more events. The Champions of the SoCal Series were honored at the year-end banquet last Saturday at Prado Regional Park. Suzette Simons, Vicky Wisecup and Randy Wylot put on a fantastic event with good competition, great food and an extensive prize raffle. We would also like to acknowledge all of the SoCal Series Champions here:

Layout Info for SoCal Pro Weekend
Straight from TD Randy Wylot, here are the layout maps and hole descriptions for Brengle Terrace Park (2 rounds on Saturday) and Kit Carson Park (1 round on Sunday). Many thanks to Max Nichols for preparing these documents and all his work seting up the courses.
Hole-by-hole description of Brengle Terrace Park DGC.
Hole-by-hole description of Kit Carson Park DGC.
There are still a few spots open for players who want to compete in the event. You must register online at DiscGolfU.com. Spectators are welcome both days, and spectators will have a chance to see some of the top disc golfers in the world competing on our local courses. David Feldberg (1038) and Nikko Locastro (1038) are in the top 10 of PDGA-rated players, with Paul Ulibarri (1029) and local favorite Micah Dorius (1028) not too far behind. Carlo Pelg (1008), Max Nichols (1004), Dan Duron (1000) and Kyle Eckmann (1000) are all 1,000-rated players who should be in the mix. And will the two players at the top of the SoCal Series show up? Although they're not registered at the time this post was written (7am, 10/15), don't be surprised to see Steve Rico (1029) and Philo Braithwaite (1022) on the course this weekend.
Volunteers are needed! If you volunteer for the weekend, you will receive a tournament-stamp disc, tournament-embroidered polo shirt and lunch on Saturday. Contact Randy Wylot (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Green Valley & Long Beach Loom Large in SoCal Series Race
With the SoCal Disc Golf Series winding down to a close, several division races are still very close coming down to the wire, and these last few events may be the deciders. Two SoCal events are on tap for October: the Green Valley Open, being held at Yucaipa Regional Park on October 6&7; and the Long Beach Open, held at El Dorado Park on October 20&21. Both events still have spots open and have online registration available through DiscGolfU.com. Click on the tournament names above to go to the registration site. Eric Audet's Oak Valley boys always deliver a fun event, but probably without the Sunday morning round in the snow at the Am tournament held this Spring. Reasonably-priced camping, available at the park, makes this a great event for the budget-conscious player. The Long Beach Open, presented by Jeff Spohr's West Coast Disc Golf, will feature separate Am and Pro days, which allows more players into the event. WDGC has reportedly put together a great player pack for Ams, and solid payout for top finishers on both days.
With just one month to go before the SoCal Championships, here's how the points series races are shaping up:
MPO: Steve Rico currently leads Philo Braithwaite by one point, 219 to 218, with Max Nichols in third (205). This race is so close it will definitely come down to the wire. Max still has a chance to catch up, especially since the SoCal Championships will be held on one course he helped design (Brengle Terrace) and one he has played very well on in the past (Kit Carson).
FPO: Indigo Brude has a very solid lead over Kimmy Jones – 82 to 50. There really aren't enough events left with big FPO fields to make up that difference.
MPM: Jerry Goff holds a 23-point lead over three players: Richard Hoffa, Dan Duron and Mike Bush, 138 to 115. They'll need a big field at SoCal Champs to catch him.
FPM & FPG: These two divisions share players – it really depends on who's showing up at each event to decide which division they'll play in. Emina Weaver leads Helen Wilson in FPM, 15 to 12; and Susie Horn (31 points) leads Suzette Simons (19), Helen Wilson (17) and Emina Weaver (16). The front-runners hold a distinct advantage.
MPG: One of the closesr, most-contested divisions. Marcus Cisneros (94) leads Steve Killian (91), Todd Banks (89) and Randy Wylot (87) by just a few points. This could be decided the final weekend.
MPS: Tom Clickner leads the division with 85 points. Glenn Triemstra (55), Phil Ganshert (43) and Mark Horn (41) could all catch him, but only if they play the final few events. Tom has played 5, the others only 2 or 3 (best 5 point totals count).
MPL: Bill Richards (34 points) has another title locked up.
MA1: A.J. Risley leads this large division with 143 points, ahead of Jeff Russell (132), Steve Valencia (131) and Patrick Paramore (123). Jeff and Steve could still catch A.J. if they were to finish at the top of a large field at the SoCal Championships, at least ten spots better than A.J.
FA1, FM1, FA2: Helen Wilson leads Karie Fisher in FA1, 32 to 15. Helen also has the FM1 title wrapped up with 44 points, while Karie will surely win FA2 with 33 points so far.
MM1: Roger Snider (90 points) may ride his win over the series' largest field at the Wintertime Open all the way to the title. His 90 points will be hard to catch for Anthony Bassett (81) and Jon Ventress (79).
MG1: Mark Hauser leads Gary Abraham 78 to 72 so far. In order to catch Mark, Gary needs to win an event with a large field…and have Mark stumble.
MS1: Jeffery Brown has this locked up.
MA2: Justin Proffitt (136 points) leads Joshua Fisher (124) and Aaron Hagner (123), and once again, they need to beat a large field and have him falter or not show up in order to catch him.
MA3: Matthew Garber and Troy Coffin are tied, with 111 points apiece! A strong showing in the last few events will decide the title. Indigo Brude (104) has a slim outside chance.
MA4: Another close one. Mike Ventress (33 points), Steve Reinhard (32) and Corbin Brown (30) could each take the title.
MJ1: Caleb Phillips leads Martin Arcos, 17 to 15.
Many of these series titles depend on the last few events of the season, most notably the neck-and-neck Men's Open battle between Rico and Braithwaite. Let's pack these last few tournaments!

Union budget 2014-15 is a growth-oriented, balanced and pragmatic budget, given the context of the precarious state of the country's finances with GDP growth being below 5% for the past two years. While the finance minister's promise of an economic revival with return to 7-8% GDP growth in the next 3-4 years is encouraging, one needs to wait and watch how the government plans to execute its plan to put the economy back on the fast-track. Also, encouraging are measures for reining in inflation with special focus on manufacturing, infrastructure building and skill development. The government has spelt out its commitment to public-private partnerships to drive investment. The FM has also acted positively to further develop quality higher education and encourage skill development programmes.
The government's plan to approve Goods and Services Tax (GST) by the end of the year is a positive move indeed, which will help in simplifying and streamlining the indirect tax regime and will benefit all industries.
The FM needs to be lauded for his assurance of providing affordable healthcare to all in his maiden budget. Announcement of measures like providing free drug and diagnostic services to needy patients and the vision of creating AIIMS in every state of the country shows this intent. It is important to address the critical challenge of providing access to high quality medicines and medical treatment to our 1.2 billion-plus population, and one wished that there were more specific measures announced in this direction.
For long, the budget has been a non-event for the pharma sector, in particular and budget 2014-15 is no exception. Hence, we were not surprised when there were no specific incentives were announced for the sector. Measures like incentives for innovation R&D in the pharma industry has not been recognised separately by the finance minister. The government needs to implement favourable policies that enhance innovation and drive collaborations, besides addressing issues in critical building blocks like talent and infrastructure.
To conclude, it's a realistic budget, given the challenging backdrop of the Indian and global economy. It has not announced any drastic measures, but strikes the right balance between the often conflicting demands of fiscal measures, inflation, growth and inclusion. It can be termed as is a positive start to a long-term reform process.

By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
It starts with spring and the blossoming of new life.
It extends a whole lot further; into parties, a food festival, a parade and more.
The Pear Blossom Festival brings crowds of people to Medford this week and weekend.
The festival boss joins us in studio to talk about the features of this year's PBF.
