Fall out: 84 Lumber packs up its PGA money bags and says goodbye

By Alan Robinson · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:49 p.m.

FARMINGTON, Pa. -- Stuck in the oft-ignored fall portion of the PGA Tour, the 84 Lumber Classic tried to make a name for itself by spending. And spending. And spending. Now that money-tossing is about to end as the lumber company pulls out of pro golf after laying out tens of millions of dollars to land and run a tournament that's moving to a prime tour date next June.

A night of their own

By C. Warner Sills and Brian Janosch · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:48 p.m.

This is me. Relatively normal by most accords, I suppose, but on this night I am learning that normal is in the eye of the beholder, and that every scene has its characters. Some wear pastel colored polos, while others choose grungy concert T-shirts. A character in one scene might recite poetry between drags of a cigarette, while another may thrash, bang and fight in their own. But on this night, my scene is the Axis of Evil. It's a gathering of punks, goths and any other mislabeled misfit desperate for the type of night every college aged person yearns for. A night where they can be themselves.

Keep comin' on down

By C. Warner Sills and AP Reports · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:41 p.m.

LOS ANGELES - Television's iron man continues to forge on. Bob Barker will start his 35th season as the host of "The Price Is Right" on Sept. 18. Johnny Carson once held the record for continuous tenure with the same show: 29 years. Barker broke it in 2002. And Merv Griffin's game-show classics "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" are years behind "Price," the longest-running game show in TV history. Barker's approach, like the show's set, has remained essentially unchanged since he arrived Sept. 4, 1972 to host what was then called "The New Price Is Right": wholesome, playful and family friendly.

IU Tube

By C. Warner Sills and Zack Teibloom · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:37 p.m.

YouTube.com features videos of all kinds, from the oddly funny: President Bush drunk and an unbelievable robot dance, to released entertainment like Daily Show clips, The O.K. Go treadmill dance, and anything you can imagine. The only thing you won't be able to find is porn or a video of Steve Irwin's death, though there are a lot of fakes. The free Web site doesn't require a password or fee to peruse the overwhelming amounts of videos. And contrary to Senator Ted Steven's statement, it is not run through a series of tubes. Though there is a hilarious techno remix with a video mocking the Senator's assessment that he "got an internet" through a "series of tubes."

Get 'Lost' in this show

By C. Warner Sills and Mark Perlman-Price · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:15 p.m.

A WARNING FOR THE VIEWER: Purchasing the brand new, seven disk, 17+ hour DVD set of the second season of Lost may result in abnormally long sessions of television watching, with possible side-effects of eye damage, weight gain/loss (depending on how focused you are), deterioration of relationships, and muscle atrophy. That's the warning label that should come with Lost: The Complete Second Season--The Extended Experience. Once you start watching episodes it's VERY difficult to stop. But if you were really considering buying it, you already know this: you've watched season one and are familiar with the show. If you've never seen it, then I suggest buying the season one set in addition to season two, and spending about two solid days watching every episode so you're up to date for the upcoming season three premiere. Even if you've been watching religiously like most fans, hitting up the season two DVDs to brush up on anything you forgot doesn't hurt either (you know the writers love foreshadowing and making every detail count).

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 11:11 p.m.

Response to "Herb or Hops" Opinion front, Sept. 13. I can see it now -- All the conservative writers around Ernie Pyle Hall running their eyes over this letter. "Oh, great. Another pothead doing the whole mindless 'Legalize it!' rant..." Think what you will, but all I'm asking for are some facts.
