The Los Angeles Dodgers will open the 2018 season against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, March 29 and host home games during nearly every summer holiday next season, ary schedule. The league announced the preliminary schedule this week. The 2018 season will mark just the sixth time that the Dodgers have opened the regular season in the month of March after previously doing so in 1998, 2003, 2008, 2011 and 2014, when they faced the Diamondbacks in the Opening Series in Sydney, Australia....
Are the Dodgers great like they’ve been most of this season? Or are they the struggling team they’ve been lately? Can they regain their swagger or will they have an awful lot to explain to their troubled fans? If you’re reading this column to get the answers you’re in the wrong place. I’m as confused as you are. What I can supply today are my thoughts. I’ve been around Dodger Stadium for 45 years. First I’ll say I’ve never seen a Dodgers team look so good and so bad in the same season. How did...

The innovative “Hoops for Youth” program, which enables underprivileged children to attend UCLA men’s and women’s basketball games at historic Pauley Pavilion is seeking donations for the 2017-18 season. The program is chaired by UCLA basketball legend Ann Meyers Drysdale and is run by the Los Angeles Sports Council Foundation in partnership with the UCLA Athletic Department. “UCLA basketball is in my blood. I know how magical it is to be part of the tradition of UCLA basketball and I want others to have the opportunity to experience that trad...
The trap was set at Torrance High's Zamperini Stadium last Friday against a very lethal Culver City High football team. The opening chess-like strategy worked for much of the first half as the Centaur high-octane offense was fundamentally kept off the field. But eventually talent, speed, coaching and execution won the nightas the Centaurs routed the Tartars in the second half for a 48-20 victory. "I'm always pleased when our team gets a victory," said Culver head coach Jahmal Wright. We knew...
The 2-0 UCLA football team travels to the state of Tennessee Saturday to take on the Memphis Tigers at 9 a.m. on ESPN2 or Channel 7. If the Bruins’ offense continues to play at a high level UCLA should be 3-0 at the end of the day. Bruin junior quarterback Josh Rosen looks like he is trying recapture his sensation freshman year when he was the best quarterback in the nation. Last Saturday against Hawaii he completed 22-25 passes for 332 yards five touchdowns. He completed passes to eight d...
Two of the greatest college football programs in the nation will be on the field Saturday when the USC Trojans take on the Texas Longhorns at 5:30 p.m. at the Coliseum. Although the Longhorns have been down the past few years they still have enough talent to upset the Trojans. The Trojans are fresh off a dominating performance against a very good Stanford team last Saturday at the Coliseum. The final score was 42-24 and all of the Trojan teams played well, offense, defense and special teams....
Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Chargers made the annual trip to Denver to open up the regular season. And for the fourth straight season came out on the losing end, 24-21, before a sellout crowd of 76,324 of very loud and proud Denver Bronco fans. The emotion of the crowd seemed to energize the Broncos and seemed to contribute to an inconsistent, out-of-sync performance by the Chargers for most of the game. As Philip River said: "We just never really got in a flow. A couple third downs...
Over 50,000 loyal Los Angeles Ram fans got a sneak preview of their team's potential on Sunday, September 10, in the L.A. Coliseum. The completely reformatted and inspired Rams decimated the hapless Indianapolis Colts, 46-9, on a hot and humid afternoon to open the 2017 NFL season. The dynamic and entertaining performance underscored Sean McVay's head coaching debut. The most noticeable difference from last season's league-worse offense was the sudden effectiveness of second-year quarterback...
The Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA took a step in the right direction last Tuesday night at Staples Center when they beat the Phoenix Mercury in the first game of the WNBA semifinals. The final score was 79-66. All five Sparks starters scored in double figures. After playing one more game at home the Sparks travel to Phoenix for games three and four this weekend, on Sunday at 2 p.m. and Tuesday if necessary. It’s a best of five series....
I am just sick and more than a little angry when I found out Ole Miss imposed a bowl ban for 2017 on herself. Just because the Rebels might be facing more penalties when the NCAA says their program committed more than 20 rules violations over the past several years. For the ninth year in a row Sea Islands (near Brunswick, Georgia) has received four stars from Forbes Travel Guide making it the only location in the world with that distinction. Need a vacation then take a rest in Savannah,...

Contributing Columnist In 2014-15 our district hired so many new teachers that almost one in five teachers (18.3%) in our district were first and second year teachers with very little or no real classroom experience. The State’s Education Dept. has just released new data for the school year 2015-16. (See the latest CCUSD data here.) Even though this latest data is almost two years old it does show a disturbing trend in the increased hiring (22.3%) of first and second year teachers. In some cases, at a couple of individual schools the p...
Congratulations to cities and people who are 100. In the UK, the Queen sends a greeting card to everyone on their 100th birthday. It's a silver cup in Japan; royal greetings in Sweden; a President's letter in Italy. But in Ireland, you get money: €2,540 ($3017). In the U.S., the President congratulates you. * In 400 BC, life expectancy was 30 years. Centenarian: lives to 100 or beyond. Supercentenarian: lives to 110 or more (only 1 in 1,000 centenarians.) There were 316,600 living c...

I am also grateful for your cards. During the Memorial I announced that Jim’s request was in lieu of flowers he would prefer donations toward the track fund at UCLA. During my speech I asked wouldn’t it be better to have the donations going toward a “track scholarship Coach Jim Bush.” It was well received by the crowd.
