Harvey Middleman, Fireman

  • Film
  • Comedy
0 Love It
In animator Pintoff's first live-action feature, Harvey is a fireman with a nice wife, nice children, nice house. He rescues a girl, falls in love with her, has attacks of conscience, and cools it; whereupon the girl stages another fire, falls into the arms of another fireman, and Harvey goes happily back to his domestic routine. At first this simple story is used as a peg for very effective humour derived from the contrast between the mundane, frightening 'normalness' of Harvey's daily routine, and the pride in it which he confides to camera in a series of monologues. But the film changes direction, and what started as sharp, subtle satire on a 'normal' American ends up as little more than standard domestic comedy, complete with pat happy ending.

0 Love It

Action movies require no genius to come along and reinvent them: Slow them down (The Wild Bunch), chat them up (Inglourious Basterds) or blow them to pieces (Armageddon), and the basic formula still works, provided it has enough room to function. That's all to say that Drive feels like some kind of masterpiece---it's as pure a version of the essentials as you're likely to see. (Hossein Amini's script, from a spare 2005 crime novel by James Sallis, should be required reading for aspiring screenwriters.)

Our hero is nameless; as played by the ever-impressive Ryan Gosling, this tightly contained Hollywood stunt driver, sometimes called "the kid" by garage boss Bryan Cranston, is a closed book. All you really need to know about him comes in his first conversation with a married neighbor (Mulligan): "I drive," he states, the barest hint of a flirtation.

When not strapped into his crash car, the guy also moonlights as a getaway wheelman---the film is about the moment when his luck begins to run out, via some bad company (Brooks, a stunningly potent villain) and a melting heart. Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson) has taken the opportunity to work in America and pushed it to delirious limits; his effort, a foreigner's impassioned take on '80s-synth-scored romance and highway mayhem, plays like the work of a student graduating with highest honors.

Getting better all the time / Orange collects consecutive wins

Dusty Sloan Published:

By DUSTY SLOAN T-G Sports Editor The goal of any summer sports team is a simple one have the team and the players on it be better at the end of the season than they were at the beginning. With wins on back-to-back days, the Orange softball team in the Wendys League is finding that to be the case. A day after a 20-7 win over Pink, Orange turned around and used a two-run fifth inning to defeat Red, 4-2, Thursday afternoon at Cahn Grove. Its great, especially for the girls, said Orange coach Doug Click. Theyve been fighting hard all year, getting beat up a lot, and its nice that we can get a couple wins. The girls are getting a little more confidence. You get a win or two, and then you start to play like youre a winner. Orange scored a run in each of the first two innings, one in the first on a wild pitch and the other in the second on an RBI infield single by Amanda Nardo. Red came back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second thanks to a series of walks and wild pitches, but three straight strikeouts by Orange pitcher Kristin Click kept the game tied. And it would stay tied until the top of the fifth, when Orange got a run on an error and another on a passed ball. In addition to dancing out of even more trouble in the second, Orange kept Red off the scoreboard by throwing out two runners on the basepaths in the third. Then, in the fourth, Red had a runner on third with one out and kept the game tied. She (Kristin) does walk quite a few, but shes throwing much-improved, Click said. And the girls are backing her up great. ORANGE HITTERS: Amanda Nardo (1b), Molly Owens (1b). RED HITTERS: Alayna Ruggles (1b), Alycia Izzard (1b), Callie Riedy (2b).

The round comes a year after the 36-year-old Californian blew a two-stroke advantage on the tournament's final two holes.

In his latest round, Hoffman hit a 126-yard approach shot within 3 feet of the pin to help him birdie 18 and separate himself by a stroke from Hunter Mahan, who also flirted with 59 earlier in the day.

Bubba Watson was two strokes back after shooting a 63. Six golfers had shot 5-under 65s by late afternoon.

Justin Rose shot a 67 and says he soaked in the moment on the first tee when he was introduced as the U.S. Open champion.

Els fires 63

MUNICH -- Ernie Els shot a 9-under 63, making an eagle and seven birdies, to hold the clubhouse lead in the opening round of the BMW International Open.

The South African, who won the British Open in 2002 and 2012 and the U.S. Open in 1994 and 1997, almost had a second eagle on the last hole that would have equaled a course record.

He settled for a birdie that gave him the overall lead.

Els is one stroke ahead of Matthew Baldwin of England, Alex Noren of Sweden, Robert-Jan Derksen of the Netherlands, and Martin Kaymar, who delighted the home crowd by finishing in the afternoon with three successive birdies, nine in all.

Baldwin and Noren both holed eight birdies in the morning, while Derksen had six, as well as an eagle.

Orchard Knob students get leadership boost

Orchard Knob students get leadership boost

May 15th, 2012 by Yolanda Putman in News

Orchard Knob Elementary principal LaFrederick Thirkill sorts through papers in his office in Chattanooga on Monday. Thirkill will be offering a summer school program this year called the East Chattanooga Improvement Technology & Youth Leadership Academy.

Photo by Doug Strickland /Times Free Press.

To volunteer for the East Chattanooga Improvement Corp.Technology and Youth Leadership Academy or to participate in mother's day out every third Tuesday at the Carver Recreation Center, call the Improvement Corp. at 752-4449.

Several students who were supposed to be leaders at Orchard Knob Elementary School talked back to teachers and brought cellphones and iPhones to school, but couldn't read on grade level, Principal LaFrederick Thirkill said.

He developed a summer program to make sure it doesn't happen again.

"My job is 24/7 seven days a week. I'm not just a principal in a school. This is my life," said Thirkill.

He said he's willing to take on the roles of principal, teacher and dad to make sure students learn.

But he isn't working alone.

The principal and at least six retired teachers and professionals recruited by the East Chattanooga Improvement Corp. will offer the East Chattanooga Improvement Corp. Technology and Youth Leadership Academy to all fourth-graders at Orchard Knob this summer.

The goal is to keep students working on academic progress in math and reading while teaching leadership, said Thirkill.

The leadership classes are scheduled from June through August two days a week, four hours a day.

Retired educators will prepare upcoming fifth-graders to be better role models by the next academic year.

James Moreland, head of the East Chattanooga Improvement Corp., also is seeking experienced parents willing to mentor younger parents.

"Make sure students are ready for a job. They have to have an education," Moreland said. "If you care about seeing the best potential in kids, you can't only raise your kid, you've got to help kids in the community."

Ten-year-old Jaelyn Curtis says she wants to participate in the leadership academy.

"Some people may not know some things, and they may need help," she said. "People don't want to go to the next grade not knowing much and not getting good grades."

Jaelyn wants to be in the Army when she grows up.

The summer program is among a number of changes Thirkill has made at the school in his first year as principal. The former Apison Elementary assistant principal also has reduced suspensions from 33 last academic year to 21 this year, started math and reading classes for parents and eliminated the in-school suspension program.

Christian Academy of Knoxville's Davis Howell chooses Mocs

Davis Howell made history during his high school football career at the Christian Academy of Knoxville, setting a national record with 358 receptions.

Despite being 6-foot-2, 190 pounds and clearly in possession of a good set of hands, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was the only Division I school to offer him a scholarship. Howell was offered the scholarship last week and took his official visit Saturday, committing to the Mocs before heading back to Knoxville.

"I was considering some other colleges, but UTC was always the front-runner," said Howell, who had a few Division II offers and had received some interest from some FCS schools.

Howell caught 143 passes for 22 touchdowns and nearly 2,000 yards as a senior. It was during CAK's 48-14 rout of Milan in the Class 3A state championship game that Howell set the record. He had 15 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the game.

The notoriety of setting the record increased the recruiting activity around him a little, but he said he expected more Division I interest. And not getting it will make him a very motivated player when he joins the Mocs.

"All the other schools that didn't offer me or thought that I couldn't play or wouldn't fit into their system, they better look out," he said.

Howell is the second receiver to commit to the Mocs, joining North Cobb (Ga.) High School's Xavier Borishade. National signing day is Feb. 6.

Hargis: Boston continuing Brainerd tradition

Hargis: Boston continuing Brainerd tradition

February 11th, 2012 by Stephen Hargis in Sports - Columns

Any statistic or number related to girls' basketball has to be pretty impressive to catch Carolyn Jackson's eye. In her 38th season as Brainerd High School's coach, Jackson has more than 800 wins, and her program is the last from Hamilton County to have claimed a girls' state championship.

That was in 1984.

But as other teams head into the postseason next week, it wasn't her Lady Panthers' 22-4 record or even their 12-0 regular-season run through District 6-AA that brought the broadest smile to Jackson's face. While she admittedly is proud of those team accomplishments, she took a little extra time to brag on another aspect of the program she has led since the Gerald Ford administration.

For the second straight year, Brainerd High School's valedictorian will be one of Jackson's players, as senior post Tiara Boston heads the graduating class. The streak likely will reach three consecutive years with Jasmine Woods, who as a junior has a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Woods' sister Joshualyn was the 2011 valedictorian.

"I'm extremely proud of all three of them," Jackson said. "Most people say athletes aren't smart, but I think it takes a lot more to be an athlete and excel in the classroom. You have to be very organized and know how to prioritize your time to be good at both.

"The girls who play for me are naturally competitive about just about anything they do, and I've always tried to ensure that my players are doing well in school. These three girls are examples for the younger kids because they put a real emphasis on their grades and it's paid off."

When progress reports are sent out every three weeks, players bring them to Jackson to evaluate if they need extra tutoring or if they will be held out of games or simply receive a pat on the back, depending on how well they are doing.

Boston not only is No. 1 in her class, but she also is the Lady Panthers' career scoring leader with more than 1,030 points. She's averaging nearly a double-double this season with 22 points and nine rebounds a game.

"Tiara is one of those special players that come along just once in a while," Jackson said. "She has put in the effort to be successful on the court and in class."

Boston said she plans to major in physical therapy or nursing and is being recruited by Eastern Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State and Samford.

"I've always been taught that school comes before basketball," she said. "I knew in order to go somewhere in life you have to have a good education. I'm the first in my family to be the valedictorian, and I'm pretty proud of that. I never cared what anybody else thought about me; I was always proud to show how smart I was.

"To have three girls in three years from the basketball team become valedictorian says something about the importance Coach Jackson puts on school. She makes it clear that if you aren't doing what you should in school, you won't play for her."

During his senior season at Tyner, Trey Suttles wasn't even sure that he wanted to play basketball in college.

But he's letting it pay for his education.

The former Rams standout recently signed to continue his career at Armstrong Atlantic State University, an NCAA Division II school in Savannah, Ga.

Suttles averaged 14.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in the 2012-13 season at Cleveland State Community College, earning the honor of Tennessee Community College Athletic Association freshman of the year. He transferred to Walters State in Morristown for his sophomore year and averaged 13.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, helping the Senators advance to the NJCAA Division I national tournament.

"My mama always said she spent over $20,000 on me during AAU and now look at her baby! Scholarship worth $28,000+," Suttles said on his Instagram page upon signing with AASU.

The Pirates finished 7-18 last season and lose five seniors.

Suttles played a game in the Rocky Top Basketball League in Knoxville on Monday.

In other signing news, Cleveland High School guard Kendrick Thompson will be attending Daytona State, a junior college in Florida. The 6-foot-2 guard and District 5-AAA co-player of the year averaged 23.3 points, six rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Blue Raiders.

Former East Hamilton guard Tiffany Lewis is continuing her basketball career at Clemson University. The 5-9 shooting guard played for coach Derek Morris's Lady Hurricanes for three seasons but transferred to Riverdale for her senior year, helping the Murfreesboro school win the Class AAA state championship and earn the No. 1 national ranking from MaxPreps.

She played last season at Chipola Junior College, averaging 10.8 points and connecting on 86 3-pointers.

• Former Howard center Brandon Walters recently was offered a conditional basketball scholarship by the University of Tennessee.

The 6-9, 260-pound two-time all-stater is entering his sophomore season at Walters State. He averaged 14.3 points and 7.5 rebounds playing the first semester for the Senators last year.

Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

• Abdulhakim Ado had to cancel a weekend visit to Louisville. Hamilton Heights' 6-11 center, who is ranked No. 3 at the position in the class of 2016, has offers from Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Memphis.

• Former Walker Valley and Cleveland forward Jahmal Johnson has taken unofficial visits to UTC and Kennesaw State over the past two weekends. Johnson played his freshman season at Wabash Valley in Illinois but will play this season at Walters State. He played in 26 games with nine starts his freshman season, averaging 4.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game.

Wise school budget seeks $750,000 hike in local funds

April 17th, 2007 12:21 am by STEPHEN IGO

WISE - The Wise County School Board on Monday added another $150,000 to the increase in local funds county taxpayers will be asked to deliver for 2007-08.

The school board voted 8-0 to increase the stipend paid teachers with master's degrees from $2,000 to $3,000, and those with educational specialist (Ed.S.) certificates from $500 to $1,500. The budget already includes a 5 percent pay raise for teachers, an 8 percent pay increase for support personnel, and 4 percent for administrative personnel.

The board then voted to send the budget proposal to the county Board of Supervisors with an additional $150,000 to the roughly $600,000 in "new" county tax dollars already in the draft budget proposal, to bring the local funding request from supervisors to about $750,000 for next year, all driven by wages and benefits.

Wise County taxpayers provide about $14.3 million to the school division this year, and the increase will approach $15 million for next year. The stipend increases were requested by the Wise County Education Association. Margaret Craft was wary of upping the ante to the Board of Supervisors. She said supervisors might send the package back to the school board with directions to cut other items from the budget.

The total school operations budget for next fiscal year is $45.8 million, nearly $1.5 million more than the current year. Most of the operations budget reflects salaries and benefits. The total budget is closer to $75 million including federal dollars, flow-through funds for specific programs and other budget categories. State funds make up the lion's share of Wise County's school division budget. Next year nearly $40.7 million in state funds are for county schools, an increase of $1.43 million over the current year.

In other matters, the board was compelled to defer acceptance of the low bid offered on a project to build a new gym and other amenities at Coeburn Middle School. Betty Cornett refused to allow the item to be added as a voting matter on the agenda because she hadn't had time to review the bid information.

Board policy is unanimous consent to add last-minute items to the agenda. The bid opening was Friday, and Big Stone Gap-based Quesenberry's Inc. entered the low bid of $2.75 million on a project estimated to cost $3.2 million. The other two bidders were just over and just under $3.2 million.

Quesenberry's bid allows Coeburn Middle School to have a slightly bigger gym to accommodate another set of bleachers. The board previously sanctioned the larger gym if a bid accommodated the $3.2 million threshold, and Quesenberry's did better than that, significantly undercutting the other two bidders on that option, too, for only $38,800 on top of the $2.75 million base project bid.

Cornett's refusal frustrated Board Vice Chairman Kyle Fletcher, who argued in vain to have Quesenberry's bid added to the agenda as a voting, rather than informational, item. Board Chairman Barry Nelson indicated he would call a special meeting to vote on the bid because time was of the essence.

In other matters, the board held a moment of silence for the scores killed and wounded at Virginia Tech and their families. Wise County School Superintendent Greg Killough's father, Larry N. Killough, is a professor of finance and accounting at Virginia Tech. Killough's own daughter, Desiree, was a student and resident assistant - not at the dorm involved in Monday's shootings - last semester at Virginia Tech but transferred to the University of Virginia's College at Wise for the current spring term.

Killough also has two nephews who are students at Virginia Tech, and one of them was in the engineering building where most of the fatalities occurred. None of Killough's family was hurt, he said, but certainly shaken by the ordeal.

"It took me three hours to get through (by telephone to his father and other members of his family) because all the lines were blocked up," Killough said.

He said his father reported the situation was "very scary" but was primarily concerned with those who lost loved ones, and that was foremost in his son's mind as well.

"I can't even imagine," said Killough. "My biggest thought is for all those people who lost someone in such a needless, tragic way."

as she runs along two or three steps behind me

her blue jacket unzipped and her socks rolled down.

Where do I want her to hurry to? To her grave?

To mine? Where one day she might stand all grown?

Today when the errands are finally done, I say to her,

Honey I'm sorry I keep saying Hurry —

you walk ahead of me. You be the mother.

And, Hurry up, she says, over her shoulder, looking

back at me, laughing. Hurry up now darling, she says,

hurry, hurry, taking the house keys from my hands.

What: New York State Author and Poet Award Ceremony and Reading. Poet Marie Howe and Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction writer Alison Lurie (''Foreign Affairs,'' ''Love and Friendship'') read from their work and accept their appointments as New York State Poet and Author.

When: 8 p.m. Sept. 20

Where: Page Hall, 135 Western Ave., downtown Campus

More information: 442-5620;

Notes: This event is free and open to the public.

The language of Howe's poems is very straightforward. At the same time, her work is rich with implication.

Her first book of poems, "The Good Thief" (1988) was selected by Margaret Atwood for a National Poetry Series award. Her second, "What the Living Do" (1997) is an elegy to her brother John, who died of AIDS in 1989; Publishers Weekly named it one of that year's best poetry collections. Her most recent book is 2008's "The Kingdom of Ordinary Time," released in paperback in 2009.

Howe teaches at Sarah Lawrence. A native of Rochester, she lives in New York City with her daughter Grace Yi-Nan Howe, adopted from China in 2003. She spoke recently by telephone about the need for poetry.

Q: What's it like being a poet in this age of the Tweet and the text?

A: I think of what happened in New York in 2001 after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the weeks after 9/11, in Washington Square Park and Union Square, huge bedsheets were put up all around the parks. People hung on the sheets many of the missing posters that have now become so familiar. And people wrote poems on them, or hung up copies of poems. There would sometimes be a crowd of people, two or three deep — a woman in stilettos and a briefcase standing next to a messenger guy and a woman with a baby in a stroller. It was an extraordinary feeling to be standing next to one another, scanning and reading what was on the sheets. What we were looking for were words that could somehow help us find meaning in what had happened.

I feel that's what people always do. They go to poetry when they get married. They go to poetry when somebody dies. They go to poetry when a child's born. They go to poetry during the crucial moments of their lives. That will always be true. It's our tribal song, the deepest tribal song that we have. We were singing poetry to our babies long ago, when we were rocking them to sleep. Singing to children is probably the first poetry. We're always going to be singing the old songs and looking for language that can hold our sense of being alive, even if only for a second.

What I very much wish, and what I want to think about at this moment with the people of New York, is how to make poetry come more into the public realm, so people can bump into it the way they did during those days.

Everyone's too busy, and people have been intimidated by some very well-meaning teacher in high school who told them that they have to find "the theme" or whatever. What I would love to do is to find a way to make poetry something that people encounter without meaning to. We bump into Gap ads, movie ads — everything we see is something trying to sell us something.

Poetry is not a commodity; it's worthless in a capitalist system. It doesn't cost anything; nobody wants to sell it to you. In fact, the writer wants you to take it, to steal it, to learn it by heart, to give it away. Because it's not a commodity, it can slip into all sorts of places — it can slip across oceans, into jail cells. That's what people go to poetry for, to drink from a stream they don't have to pay for. We have to pay for water now, but we don't have to pay for poetry. I wish it could be made available like public drinking fountains.

Q: But your new post as New York State Poet doesn't pay you a stipend that would help you to make any new programs, does it?

A: Maybe it doesn't have to cost money, given that we're all so connected now. Maybe an army of volunteers can do it. Maybe we can send out the word. Maybe this can fly below the commodifying radar, the way it did after 9/11. Nobody paid anybody to put up all those poems. No money was exchanged. People wrote out of necessity and read out of necessity. That need is always there.

On my street right now, for instance, there is an old phone booth. I don't even think it has a phone in it any more. On one side there's a clothing ad, and on the other a terrifying ad for a new TV show all about death and dread and destruction. If somebody just made a big poster with a haiku by Li Po on it, and plastered it up there even for a day, everybody would bump into that instead.

Q: What are you working on now?

A: I'm just finishing a book of prose. The pieces in it are all very accessible. I'm not sure what to call them. My daughter came up with the word "emwory" — it's like a combination of essay, memoir and story.

Pornography for Couples by Violet Blue

As someone who has been reviewing porn for a long time, it’s amusing to watch the SoCal porn industry begin to change its tune about porn made “for couples”. Until recently, the at-large attitude of the industry for fare directed at heterosexual couples who want to watch films together has been, frankly, insulting. Still, even in the industry magazines you’ll hear filmmakers and writers referring to couples’ fare as though it were lighter, weaker, for wussies. Or, more appropriately, for pussies.

That’s because it is. Made for the owners of pussies — women — and also for guys who are watching it with them. I don’t think the assumption on the part of the porn industry is that the guys are weaker for wanting to watch it with their gals, I think that they believe couples’ tastes to be weaker and need to be more watered-down because of the addition of a woman to the viewership.

How insulting.

These assumptions miss the mark entirely. Women get off watching explicit imagery just as much as their male counterparts. It doesn’t need to be any less powerful — or dirty — to do the job. But it does need to be different in one concrete way, different than the stuff that’s been churned out for the masses of male viewers: it needs to be believable. If you bother with a plot, make it a real one. And make the sex hot, real, with women really getting off, and people who genuinely want to have intense, no-holds-barred passionate sex with each other. And this isn’t to say that men don’t want these things in their porn — they do. They’ve just had to settle for less.

Couples have been buying and watching porn at least since the Cannes and big-screen debut of Deep Throat in 1972. So why has this market been largely ignored? Good question — and the skyrocketing sales of porn purchased and watched by couples only underscores confusion around the issue. I can only guess that the reasons are similar to the sexist sentiments from the industry echoed above, but I am just as equally baffled by the situation as I am excited to see better films being made — films that are made by people who realize that they’re making films. And when I say excited, well, you know what I mean.

Certain directors have set a delicious pace for high-quality porn that is great for couples to watch together. Films by Tristan Taormino (like her Chemistry series) and Eon McKai always top my list for couples to watch together, but especially when one of you is new to porn. Before you watch an adult movie for the first time, read the article, “I Was a Porn Virgin: A First-Timer’s Guide to Watching Porn.” Candida Royalle‘s films have high production values — meaning good writing, excellent cinematography, great acting and hot sex. She brings a unique edge to porn with her strong emphasis on woman-centered sexual encounters and her own personal experience as a former actress from porn’s golden age. Her films are complete films, with narrative and girl-powered storyline, sometimes plot-driven and sometimes character-driven.

The “classics” (pre-1980) are also a great place to find porn that doesn’t play by the industry’s current standards of surgical enhancements, medical-grade closeups, or going-through-the-motions sex. But then again, there’s all the hair, and the big earrings and the mustaches. Still, films from porn’s golden age have a refreshing sense of fun about them, are filmed well (for low budget movies), and were written with a wry intelligence difficult to find even in modern mainstream movies. Two great examples with really great sex are The Opening of Misty Beethoven and Outlaw Ladies. Misty Beethoven is a smart and funny take on My Fair Lady, in which an author working on a novel about a reluctant prostitute finds one in a Paris brothel and, with the help of his decadent friends, educates her in the arts of sexual passion and enthusiasm. The film culminates in a fantastic male anal penetration scene with two women — a “love sandwich.” Outlaw Ladies gets a five-star rating in every one of my categories, following the exploits of sexually rapacious housewives who make every man crossing their path into their own personal sex toy. This film is also infamous for showing Veronica Hart’s first anal penetration (ever!) — the scene is riveting, to say the least.

Don’t care about plot? Watch scenes from John Leslie’s Voyeur films. They have no plot, just the premise that the viewer (camera) is the voyeur, watching through windows, sneaking into houses, or watching in rearview mirrors. Sometimes Leslie breaks the spell by directing during the action, but the sex is so incendiary (and Leslie recognizes that a starlet’s authentic orgasmic shudders are just as arousing as an in-out close-up) that you won’t care. The cinematography is fantastic, the lighting and sound are all natural, and so are all the actors — lots of beautiful women and men, all free of surgical enhancement. There’s lots of hot sex, never a dull moment in a Leslie film. My pick to get you started is Voyeur 13.

Enjoy watching porn with your sweetie — it’s a terrific sex toy. But I’ll bet that once you put the tape in, you won’t be watching the screen for long. Porn comes in many forms, and the definition lies in the eye of the beholder. Finding good adult fare is tough, and a satisfying experience can only happen when you know what you’re looking for. Read more about how to find what you both want to see in my book, The Smart Girl’s Guide to Porn (it’s not just for girls, after all).

The #1 Ball in Golf at the 2014 Sony Open in Hawaii

Posted: January 12, 2014

The aloha spirit continues to shine this week on the PGA Tour as the first full-field event of 2014 is underway at Waialae Country Club – host of the Sony Open in Hawaii.

And as many players look to jump start their 2014 campaigns, 88 players in the field will trust a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than four-times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist was also the top choice in the iron (35), sand, lob and approach wedges (147) and putter (54) categories.

Good luck to all of #TeamTitleist!

I can understand why it is the number one ball.   Have been playing in a lot of wind along the southeast coast the past two weeks and my Prov1 has performed well for me.  Just made the appropriate club adjustment.  No need to change balls.

NetworX Linux Cluster Helps Researchers Fight Disease

SANDY, UTAH, Oct. 3, 2000 - Linux NetworX, Inc., a provider of large-scale clustered computer solutions, announced today that the National Center for Macromolecular Imaging (NCMI) at Baylor College of Medicine will use the company's clustered computers in its world-renowned molecular imaging research center.

Using a 32-processor cluster system from Linux NetworX, Baylor College of Medicine reconstructs the molecular configurations of disease and illness-causing viruses and other molecules and develops three-dimensional models of their structures. A cutting-edge technique then allows researchers to view the viruses as if they were locks. By properly studying these "locks," they hope to find the "keys" to opening and destroying them. In the past, much of this research was done on large supercomputers costing millions of dollars. But today, because of price-performance issues, clustered-computer alternatives are being selected to handle the large amounts of computation, data handling and storage required.

In the past, scientists used trial and error methods to create vaccines and drugs to fight viruses. But now, using clustered computers and other technologies, they are able to define the structure of these viruses and attempt to design drugs that will solve the specific problems each one presents.

In further good news for the company, the Linux NetworX Evolocity (TM) cluster server receives Best of Show Award for Network Servers & Peripherals from InernetWeek and Network Computing at NetWorld+Interop 2000 Atlanta. The Evolocity cluster server, introduced at the show, is designed for managing and optimizing Web traffic in the Internet market.

ATLANTA Sept. 25, 2000--- Tridia Corporation, a provider of eSupport tools that facilitate interactive support and remote system administration, has launched Release 2.0 of the company's newest product offering, TridiaVNC (virtual network computing) the first commercially supported release of open-source, virtual network computing software that views and controls Linux consoles. TridiaVNC Release 2.0's Linux viewer and control features make Linux servers remotely manageable from anywhere on the network and from a variety of systems (Linux, Windows, Unix, Mac).

Verizon Wireless, CradlePoint Connect Solution Providers at CES

Verizon Wireless and CradlePoint (News - Alert) announced at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES (News - Alert)), that their combined solutions were able to provide network connectivity to solution providers. The two organizations provided demonstrations at the Verizon (News - Alert) booth at the show.

A number of solution providers from the healthcare industry to entertainment as well as security and retail have opted for CradlePoint routing solutions. These were powered by Verizon Wireless and provided connectivity to the Internet for demonstrations at CES. Access to the Verizon 4G LTE (News - Alert) network is possible through CradlePoint routers and adapters which utilize Verizon Wireless external USB data modems. They can also make use of CradlePoint's cutting edge holistic business-grade mobile broadband.

 Irrespective of the number of applications being powered, a CradlePoint router can be split to connect devices and applications such as VoIP phones; digital signage or kiosks and wireless video surveillance cameras.

Lindsay Lohan

Her Dumbest Lie Yet

6/11/2012 11:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Lindsay Lohan blatantly lies to cops about her latest car crash -- and now she could face jail time for an otherwise harmless accident (minus the totaled Porsche). We've got eyewitnesses revealing what really went down on PCH.

Plus, the role of Snooki will now be played by Deena Cortese ... whose drunken arrest capped a crazy weekend on the "Jersey Shore."  You gotta see our video of the cast becoming a live circus act.

Also, does Kim Kardashian's $750,000 gift to Kanye West -- a stupidly rare Lamborghini -- seem like overkill for a bf of just a few months? It does if your name is Kris Humphries!! Oooh ... burn.
(0:00) Lindsay Lohan caught lying to cops about her car accident -- which could land her in a huge heap of trouble ... instead of being a minor pain in the butt. What was the point of lying?
(5:52) An eyewitness to Lindsay's crash calls in.
(10:12) Deena is the new Snooki on "Jersey Shore" -- getting arrested for acting like an idiot. Plus, two other cast members get into a nasty fistfight.
(13:30) Kris Humphries is desperately trying to make sure his rebound chick keeps her mouth shut -- which bring up a glaring question ... what does he have to hide? Mike has an idea.
(19:55) David Arquette gets Bar Mitzvah'd on a whim ... some people think he cheated the system.
(23:20) Kim and Khloe K. say they're not responsible for the fact that QuickTrim was a scam ... and, for some reason, this sparks a very heated debate.

Lamar Odom

'Roommate' Says ...

I Saw Him Do Crack

9/9/2013 7:45 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
The lawyer who lived with Lamar Odom for 6 weeks in June and July tells TMZ ... Lamar was doing crack in her apartment.

Polina Polonsky is a criminal defense lawyer who met Lamar in the Spring at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood.  She told us on TMZ Live ... he was smoking crack and doing other drugs while he stayed with her ... but she says things really spun out-of-control when he moved out.

Polina tells us Lamar became paranoid while he lived with her ... taking the battery out of his phone because he felt he was being followed with the aid of a GPS device.  He also covered the smoke detectors with paper towels.

Polina says Khloe Kardashian came banging on the door in July, barged in, took charge and took Lamar out.  She received a text from Lamar shortly after he left, calling her a "groupie, junkie ... crack head."  She says she knows it wasn't Lamar who sent the text ... it was Khloe.

The entire interview will be on TMZ Live today ... which, by the way, debuts on all Fox-owned TV stations around the country. For more sports stories, check out tmzsports.com!

I just got a new 270 the other day and need to purchase a scope to put on it. I already have another rifle with a Nikon on it that i hunt with primarily so this gun will be more of a backup/change up gun.

any suggestions for an inexpensive good scope. I see alot of Simmons Blazers for pretty cheap but it is hard to believe that a 40$ scope is really worth it. I am leaning towards a 3x9-50 but i am open to whatever.

Ex-Facebook president invests in e-cigarettes

| June 10, 2013

A group including Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sean Parker is investing $75 million is NJOY, a leading manufacturer of e-cigarettes, reports The Wall Street Journal. Parker co-founded the music-sharing site Napster, was the first president of Facebook and has been a big donor to cancer research.

NJOY accounted for 35.6 percent of the U.S. cigarette market in U.S. convenience stores in the four weeks ended May 11, according to Wells Fargo Securities. NJOY Kings’ brand more closely resembles regular cigarettes than do some competing products. The company has been advertising on TV and attracted celebrity endorsers such as musicians Courtney Love and Bruno Mars.

In March, former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona joined NJOY’s board, saying it is important to explore alternatives to traditional cigarettes because the adult smoking rate has remained stuck at around 20 percent of the population.

E-cigarettes are believed to be less harmful than traditional cigarettes because they don’t rely on combustion However, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers in 2009 the new technology could pose its own health risks and required further study. The long-term impact of inhaling e-cigarette vapor, which contains substances such as propylene glycol, has yet to be determined. The agency is planning regulation that would treat e-cigarettes as tobacco products.

Industry experts says U.S. retail sales of e-cigarettes could reach $1 billion this year—just 1 percent of the country’s cigarette market but twice that of 2012.

Dr. Gilda Carle

Need a quick answer to a relationship dilemma? Relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle cuts through the fluff with her relationship advice in TODAY.com’s “30-second therapist” series.

Q:I am a curvy girl, size 12. My online dating profile says I'm curvy, and my pictures show that. I am active and I have big boobs and big hips. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny or slender or average. I find that the men I meet don't know what they want.  In fact, they've been very rude to me, some actually telling me to lose weight. Will I ever be able to find love? —Curvy Girl Needs Love

Dear Curvy,
Visualize “curvy” as a gorgeous woman such as Kate Upton, Queen Latifah, or someone else.  While this word apparently elicits “fat” for some men, describe your body type to males using one of these women’s names.

When I was in college, I gained—then lost—20 pounds. Two years later, I bumped into a guy I had dated earlier, who said my body had become much too thin!  So, girlfriend, thin is not appealing to all men. Today, the dress size of the average American woman is 14—which actually makes you underweight by such standards! It’s all in your packaging. Think of yourself as beautiful, and you’ll project yourself as beautiful—and attract a man who finds your curves delicious. —Dr. Gilda

    4. 30-second therapist: My man doesn't pay any bills — should I leave him?
    5. My boyfriend doesn't buy me gifts — does he love me?

Q: I have been married for 24 years, most of which were unsatisfying due to my husband’s grumpy attitude.  We have argued most of our married life.  In 2007, I had an affair with a family friend.  He was positive, motivational, charming and he made me laugh — all the things my husband lacked. I ended it one year later. My husband doesn’t know this happened, but suspected it.

A year later, I found out my husband started an affair with an old high school flame.  I found out by looking at his text messages and phone bill. I am devastated. He has done everything I have requested, but he’s not very patient with me when I’m feeling insecure and want to talk about it.  He says he’s tired of re-living it. Bottom line: he got caught and I did not (yet).  After all the pain his affair caused me, I certainly don’t want to hurt him like that.  I know I cheated too, but I just can’t get over his cheating. Any advice? —Unhappy

Dear Unhappy,
You and hubby argued for nearly a quarter century, which you blame on his “grumpy attitude,” but on nothing you did. Each of you medicated your malaise with extramarital sex. You’re upset by his transgression because it magnifies your insignificance in this marriage. To empower yourself, you harangue hubby, and his irate reaction proves he cares. The condition of “irritable male syndrome” increases with a man’s age, so your provocation will increasingly get the attention you crave.

My Gilda-Gram™ warns, “Cheating is an artificial cop-out to avoid the truth.”  Get the truth in therapy so you’ll quit feeling the need to elevate your relevance. —Dr. Gilda

Strife-torn Iraq risks heading to civil war

Strife-torn Iraq risks heading to civil war

November 25, 2012, Sunday/ 13:56:00/ AYDIN ALBAYRAK

Following the killing of 12 Iraqi troops at the beginning of the week by the peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) near the city of Tikrit, the risk of the country drifting into a civil war has become a real possibility.

“We always had concerns that, God forbid, this [conflict] might turn into a sectarian clash. Now our fears are slowly becoming real,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said midweek in Ankara, making clear Turkey is concerned about the situation in its southern neighbor.

A conflict between the central Iraqi government and the KRG has been brewing since 2009 over disputed areas including Kirkuk, Diyala and Saladin provinces, with both sides claiming that the territories should be placed under their own authority. So, though Erdoğan drew attention to the possibility of an eventual civil war in Iraq on a sectarian fault line, a confrontation on ethnic grounds between Kurds and Arabs, is all the more possible.

Since establishing the military unit called the Tigris Operational Command in 2012, the Iraqi central government under Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has stepped up efforts to take the disputed provinces under the authority of the Iraqi government through troop deployments to Kirkuk, a step harshly criticized by the KRG a couple of months ago when indications of a major confrontation arose.

Murat Bilhan, vice chairman of the Turkish-Asian Center for Strategic Studies (TASAM), describes the state of affairs in Iraq as “highly dangerous.” “If the Kurdish side and the Maliki government are engaged in a game of brinkmanship, nobody could know for sure where the events would lead,” he told Sunday’s Zaman.

Tension is high

The Maliki government has sent heavy arms, including tanks, to the province of Kirkuk, a city known to be sitting atop significant oil reserves, to get the edge militarily over Kurdish forces in the city. But Kurds have warned they are ready to fight for Kirkuk. Peshmerga forces are on high alert, and the commander of the Peshmerga forces, Mahmoud Sankawi, threatened to attack government troops at any moment should the Iraqi government continue sending troops there. Sankawi said 30 tanks and several dozen armored vehicles were heading on Monday night toward Kirkuk.

The tension is also high at Tuzhurmatu, one of the towns in the disputed area, and where the majority of the population is Turkmen. Last week, an Iraqi soldier and a civilian were killed and several wounded when Iraqi soldiers wanted to search a house belonging to a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), whose leader is current Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. Both the central government and the Kurdish regional government are said to have sent reinforcements to the city. “A skirmish may break out at any moment. Both sides have piled up a lot of reinforcements,” Niyazi Mimaroğlu, general secretary of the provincial council of Saladin province, said midweek.

Serhat Erkmen, an analyst from the Ankara-based Center for Middle Eastern Strategic Studies (ORSAM), has the impression that neither the Kurds nor the central Iraqi government seem willing to drive the tension into a major clash at the moment, but he believes an armed confrontation is inevitable in the long run, given the clashing views the Kurds and the Arabs have on Iraqi territory.

Elaborating on the Maliki government’s initiative to establish government control over the disputed territories, which the Kurds claim as their own, Erkmen told Sunday’s Zaman, “Efforts to establish a centralist structure have always led to armed conflict in the history of Iraq.” And as long as issues such as oil law, Kirkuk and disputed territories over which there is sharp disagreement between various political groups in the country are unresolved by compromise, there is always ground for an armed confrontation.

“This is the scenario Turkey desires the least,” Sinan Ülgen, the chairman of the İstanbul-based Center for Economic and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM), said. Analysts agree that Turkey, with its strained relations with the Iraqi central government, is not in an ideal position to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the confrontation. Noting that Turkey used to be in a position to talk with all sides in a conflict in the Middle East, “The crisis makes the vulnerability of the foreign policy Turkey has conducted in the last two years more apparent,” Ülgen told Sunday’s Zaman.

Neçirvan Barzani, prime minister of the KRG, made it clear once again on Thursday that they would never accept the formation of the Tigris Operational Command force, and Kurdish political parties met last week to adopt a common stance against the central government. The Iraqi government, on the other hand, has recently adopted a budget of nearly $250 million to be used for the Turkmen, probably with a view of winning them over to his side, living in the provinces Musul, Kirkuk, Saladin and Diyala.

Following the skirmish, Turkey has found itself in a difficult position, as it doesn’t favor in the least the breaking up of Iraq. Turkey fears this could lead to the forming of an independent Kurdish state, which could encourage the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) against which Turkey has been fighting for nearly 30 years and which is also known to be ultimately seeking such a state.

Turkey’s relations with the central Iraqi government have soured significantly in the recent past due to the oil agreements it signed with the KRG without the consent of the Iraqi government. Should the tension in Iraq further increase, Turkey is expected, in its own interests, to do its best to restore peace in the conflict that analysts caution may turn out as explosive as the crisis in Syria for the region. “If Turkey defends Iraq’s territorial and political integrity, then it should in the first place, make efforts for the conflict to end,” Erkmen said.

Ali Semin, a Middle East analyst from the Wise Men Center for Strategic Studies (BİLGESAM), agrees. “Turkey should never take any side in the conflict. Rather, it should act as mediator,” he told Sunday’s Zaman. He is of the opinion that actors like Ammar al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, wouldn’t allow the conflict to grow to serious proportions between the Arabs and the Kurds, but should the tension deteriorate into full-scale fighting between the Kurds and the Iraqi central government, the crisis may possibly lead to the disintegration of Iraq.

If need be, an international task force composed of troops serving under the cap of the United Nations may be positioned to end hostilities in the disputed territories in Iraq, though such a force would likely represent the beginning of the end for a unified Iraq. “Such an international force would in the longer term lead to the break-up of the country,” noted Erkmen. And disintegration of Iraq would also mean disintegration of Iraqi Turkmen, as the Turkmen population is not concentrated in one single area in Iraq, but rather spread across disputed territories.

Tecumseh Products names new CEO

TECUMSEH Six months after the ouster of its long-time leader, Tecumseh Products Co. has a new chief executive officer.

Edwin L. Buker will join the Fortune 1,000 firm August 13 from Citation Corp., a manufacturer of metal components in Birmingham, Ala.

The appointment of the 54-year-old manufacturing veteran marks the final chapter in a dispute that arose in January when the board of directors fired Todd Herrick, a grandson of the founder of the Lenawee County firm.

With $1.8 billion in annual sales, Tecumseh is a leading supplier of compressors for commercial refrigerators and freezers as well as of engines for lawn mowers and snow-blowers.

Mr. Herrick s family controls more than 40 percent of voting shares of the firm.

His dismissal led to a threatened proxy fight and lawsuits that were eventually settled out-of-court.

As part of the settlement, Mr. Herrick gave up his board seat but was allowed to serve on the board in a non-voting capacity. Albert Koch, a board member and Tecumseh management consultant with whom Mr. Herrick had clashed, agreed to leave the board when a new CEO was named.
