The 16th at SentryWorld (USGA photo)
Last week, the USGA announced qualifying sites for the 43rd U.S. Senior Open Championship, to be held at SentryWorld, in Stevens Point, Wis., from June 29-July 2. SentryWorld is hosting its first Senior Open and third USGA championship.
Conducted over 18 holes, qualifying will be held at 33 sites across the United States between May 8 and June 8. Online entry applications are available now and will continue through Wednesday, May 3, at 5 p.m. EDT.
Following our tradition of helping you pick some of the best USGA qualifying sites, our staff has selected five U.S. Senior Open qualifying locations you might want to put on your radar. You've worked hard to keep your handicap at 3.4 or better -- why not notch things up by playing an amazing course on your way to Wisconsin's Sentry World?
Here are five of our favorites on the 2023 qualifying schedule, listed in order of qualifying date:
COLUMBIA EDGEWATER COUNTRY CLUB
- Portland, Oregon
Wednesday, May 10, 2023
The site of the 2022 Pacific Coast Amateur is a regional favorite. The historic course opened in 1924 and has hosted the PGA and LPGA Tours over the years. It's just 7 miles west of the Portland airport if you're flying into the area.
SOULE PARK GOLF COURSE
- Ojai, California
Monday, May 15, 2023
This Gil Hanse renovation in the gorgeous Ojai Valley north of Los Angeles has won the praises of architecture enthusiasts. Each October, G.M. Keith Brown hosts the Ojai Senior Cup, which is fast becoming one of the top senior golf championships on the West Coast. You can easily turn your Monday qualifier into a weekend getaway in the Ojai Valley, with lots of lodging choices ranging from "glamping" in an Airstream to staying at the historic Ojai Valley Inn. And once you play Soule Park, you're sure to want to apply for the Ojai Senior Cup so you can return in October -- one of the nicest times to visit the area.
LONG COVE CLUB
- Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Monday, May 22, 2023
As if you needed an excuse to visit one of the most iconic golf destinations in the country. Why not qualify at the host course of the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, set among dozens of top courses including Harbor Town Golf Links. Check out the Long Cove Club's website
and you'll be hooked -- it's a Pete Dye design set within a "breathtakingly beautiful Lowcountry backdrop featuring century-old live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, stately Carolina pines, and stunning saltwater marshes." It's private, but not on May 22.
ARCOLA COUNTRY CLUB
- Paramus, New Jersey
Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Do you love fast greens? Arcola Country Club in New Jersey is known for its speedy surfaces, and for playing a large role in competitive golf. The host of the annual Arcola Cup and one of the qualifying courses for the 2022 U.S. Amateur will test your game. If you like the old-school country club layout and excel on and around the greens, you might just punch your ticket to Wisconsin at Arcola. Paramus is just 15 miles outside of New York City, and there are a lot of other amazing courses to play in the area (especially if you have connections).
OMNI HOMESTEAD RESORT CASCADES COURSE
- Hot Springs, Virginia
Wednesday, May 31, 2023
Talk about a classic resort. The Omni Homestead Resort in the Allegheny Mountains has offered guests, including U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, access to healing hot springs since 1832. The Cascades Course -- designed by famed architect William Flynn (Shinnecock, Cherry Hills) -- has been the site of eight USGA championships, including the 1967 U.S. Women’s Open and 1988 U.S. Amateur. Sam Snead, a four-time U.S. Open runner-up and World Golf Hall of Famer, was The Homestead’s golf professional for nearly six decades.
* Those players who are exempt from qualifying and have already filed entries include 2022 champion Padraig Harrington, who won with a 72-hole score of 274 (10 under) at Saucon Valley Country Club, in Bethlehem, Pa. U.S. Senior Open champions Fred Funk (2009), Bernhard Langer (2010), Olin Browne (2011), Kenny Perry (2013, 2017), Colin Montgomerie (2014), Gene Sauers (2016) and Jim Furyk (2021) have also entered, along with U.S. Open champions Ernie Els (1994, 1997), Retief Goosen (2001, 2004), Michael Campbell (2005) and Furyk (2003).
* Mark Hensby posted the best finish by a qualifier at Saucon Valley, placing third behind Harrington and runner-up Steve Stricker. Hensby shot a 68 at Golfcrest Country Club, in Pearland, Texas, to advance. The club is hosting a qualifier for the third time.
* Stevens Point (Wis.) Country Club, located 4 miles southeast of SentryWorld., will host a U.S. Senior Open qualifier on Friday, May 26. The Portage County course has hosted the 1976 Wisconsin State Amateur and four Wisconsin State Opens (1970, 1975, 1981, 2000).
* California has the most qualifying sites with five. Three U.S. Senior Open qualifiers are scheduled in Florida, while Wisconsin and Texas will host two qualifiers. There are qualifying sites in 25 states.
* Don Pooley (2002) is the lone player to win the U.S. Senior Open after advancing through qualifying. In 2022, 21 golfers who played in a qualifier made the 36-hole cut at Saucon Valley.
* The 2023 U.S. Senior Open will be the 17th USGA championship contested in Wisconsin. To be eligible, a player must have a Handicap Index® not exceeding 3.4 or be a professional, and be 50 years of age at the start of championship play.
* In 2007, Brad Bryant won by three strokes over Ben Crenshaw in the lone U.S. Senior Open to be contested in Wisconsin. The championship was played at Whistling Straits, in Kohler.

I have lost my memory when I began to work as an amateur photographer. But I still remember my two local photo contest awards, so because of those two awards I became a member of the local photographer association. I make friends with local photographers in order to make money by photography. I have failed once,but I plan to engage in photography again in order to create a new plan to make money.This website is one of my plans to make money on the Internet.
I am a poet,so I keep in touch with many poets. My friend, a local poet,has taught me some techniques on photography. I travels everywhere and took photos everywhere,usually in my hometown in Zhejiang Province,P R China.My first camera’s brand is Canon EOS 550,it is suited for a beginner on photography.
I have bought many many books of photography,I study photography day after day. In the future,I will buy a professional camera in order to take photos when I travels anywhere. These photos will be used on my website.
I also have a great plan to learn more than 9 languages,so I can travels everywhere worldwide.I want to make friends with people who I meet anywhere worldwide. I can also make money when I travels.
I have taken many photos,here are some of my photos,
This is my first award photo in the local photo contest. It is named as ‘cool’.
And this is my photo of the building which I audited and worked as a Cost Engineer(Quantity Surveyor in P R China).The building is named as the art centre of Taizhou. I named my photo as ‘achievement’.
This is a combination of my photo and my poetry named ‘dilapidated and ruined lotus’. I took this photo in the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province,P R China.
And this is my photo taken on my balcony on the New Year’s day morning,2012.

I’ve blogged before on the entry points to our town and how unwelcoming they are. Most people enter Norristown at either end of Main or Markley Streets or the south end of Dekalb. The largest welcome sign is on the Schuylkill River Trail overpass over the Dannehower Bridge, and frankly, that sign needs a touch-up.
This is one of the ugliest stretches of road in Norristown. I admit, we can’t do much about the railroad. It would be nice if we could landscape it a bit more -- plant more trees or and low-maintenance shrubs along the curbs. PennDOT is eventually supposed to widen the part of Markley between Elm and Marshall, so perhaps new curbs and streetlights will help (though I suppose our old-growth trees will go).
But what people probably notice more are the many billboards, and the vacant or unkempt buildings in that stretch. Long-time residents have been calling these blocks “Billboard Row” since the 1970s or 80s, and not as a compliment.
We actually have less billboards now than a few years ago, due to the advent of digital billboards like the one in the photo above, where one board that changes ads several times a minute can be much more profitable than many boards on one piece of property. So far, the owners of these boards have been landscaping around them. Still, they don’t do much to improve Norristown as a whole. Billboards will always make an area look depressed. There are, I think, 6 billboards now between Elm and the Dannehower, 4 of which are between Elm and Marshall.
Do we need more ads on that block?
The building is an eyesore as it is. It’s ironic that Municipal Hall keeps approving the demolition of historically important buildings in N-town, yet we’ve got to put up with the sight of derelict structures that should have been levelled long ago. Can’t we somehow hook up the developers with the buildings we WANT demolished?
But back to the ad signs. I asked residents what they thought on Nextdoor.com. Not only did I get a flood of opinions within 24 hours, the residents were, for the most part, angry. No one wanted what was essentially more billboards in Norristown. Several residents expressed the opinion that their view wouldn’t be listened to—that Municipal Hall would do whatever they wanted regardless of the taxpayers’ desires.
Still, several residents made constructive suggestions. Many wanted a mural on that wall. One said to level the building and make a park. Another thought was, instead of 6 ads, have 6 pieces of art the same size, sponsored by businesses, with the sponsors’ names under the art. That way the owner gets revenue from it, and no tax money needs to be spent.
If you don’t want to see more ads on that stretch of Markley Street, and have better ideas about what could be done with that building, please attend the Planning Commission Meeting Tuesday night. If you can’t attend, call the Planning Department (610-270-0450) before Tuesday, 5 pm and make your views known. If we DO get a big snowstorm Tuesday, hopefully the Planning meeting will be postponed to a day when we can all attend.

In The DarknessDarkness. For the longest time, it's all I have ever seen.In The Darkness by Drkness-Oblitr8tion
Children playing in the street. I can hear them! But even their cheerful laughter, cannot stop me from seeing the darkness.
One falls to the ground crying, she's scraped her knee.
Is she ok?
Darkness. As the mother cares for the child.
I have seen it all before, as the mother bandages the knee. This darkness that I cannot escape.
I smile, I can hear the birds sing beautifully out my window.
They are happy, and free. They are enjoying an even greater gift that they do not know of.
They are free of the darkness I have learnt to live with. Their lives are full of the colours, the flowers, the leaves, the cars...
The sky. How I miss the sky. It's never ending blue, the fluffy white clouds. The bright, burning, sun. I will never forget these images, they are burnt into my mind.
I am distracted by this thought by the screech of yet another of Angel's feline victims. The birds fly scatter, the flutter of their wings of escape sadden m

Cathedral Church of Saint Vitus
Founded on 21 November 1344, Saint Vitus’s Cathedral in Prague Castle is the work of generations of master builders. The east end (to the right of this picture) was built by the French architect Matthew of Arras, who was summoned from the papal court at Avignon to undertake what would become one of the great gothic churches of Europe, modelled on the cathedral at Narbonne.
When he died in 1352, the reins were taken up by the then 23-year-old Peter Parler (Petr Parléř), who began work on the transept and the tower (1367) as well as the adjacent ‘Golden Gate‘, commissioned by Charles IV in 1370 as a ceremonial entrance to the tomb of Saint Wenceslas.
Parler was also responsible for the magnificent first-floor triforium, which features busts of the imperial family (including Charles IV and his parents, John of Luxembourg and Elizabeth of Bohemia), a number of archbishops, and the two original architects themselves. Parler’s work was completed by his two sons, Václav and Jan Parler, and a third master builder, known simply as Petrilk.
The Hussite wars put an end to construction, and it was to be another 500 years before plans were made for the building’s completion. ‘The Cathedral … is a melancholy object on the outside – left with unfinished sides like scars’, remarked the English novelist George Eliot, visiting Prague in 1858. In fact, major work was about to begin: Josef Kranner spent most of the 1860s extending the nave, and Josef Mocker commenced his splendid neo-gothic west end in 1873 – it was finished only after his death in 1899 by Kamil Hilbert.
The West End, completed in 1929, is dominated by an exceptional rose window by František Kysela. Following the tradition begun by Peter Parler, the designers and architects were themselves memorialized in stone, appearing in two bas-relief groups in the lower spandrels of the rose window.
Kysela himself is portrayed alongside the art historian Zdeněk Wirth on the left-hand side; on the right, the two principal architects, Kamil Hilbert and Josef Mocker, pore over their plans. The sculptor responsible for these witty additions was Vojtěch Sucharda, son of the more well-known Stanislav.

Is this your first time renting a luxury yacht? Well, if you don’t know the proper etiquette, it might be quite daunting. The majority of luxury yacht charters demand that visitors adhere to strict guidelines and display appropriate decorum and manners. It makes sure both the employees and the guests have a good time. Here is a guidance for first-time guests in case you are unaware of these unwritten politeness standards.
Your luxury yacht charter’s crew and captain are on board to look after your requirements, ensure your safety, and provide an enjoyable experience. Be sure to follow the captain’s and the crew’s directions when you charter a boat. The crew can assist you to the best of their abilities because they are quite familiar with the yacht.The captain is in charge and has the final say on all matters regarding the yacht and the safety of the guests. Treat the crew with respect and follow their instructions.
When sailing aboard a luxury yacht for the first time, it’s important to pay attention to the crew’s safety instructions. Everyone who boards the vessel is required by law to go through a safety briefing. Here, the entire crew is presented to you and a description of the yacht’s layout, lifeboats, safety equipment, emergency procedures, and more is provided. This makes it possible for you to have a good time, especially if you’re traveling with kids or teenagers.
The crew members of your yacht rental are frequently very busy and have a lot of duties. If you are taking your kids on a luxury yacht charter, make sure you are being a good parent and watching out for them. Even while the crew is delighted to help you and your kids, don’t completely rely on them to take care of your kids because they might not have the time. You can bring your childcare to join you on the yacht charter and take care of the kids if you just want to unwind.
Arriving on time for the yacht charter is important, as the captain will have a schedule to follow. If you are running late, make sure to inform the captain or the charter company as soon as possible
Most yacht charters have a dress code, which is typically smart casual or formal. Check with the charter company or the captain to find out what is appropriate. When you are on a charter for a luxury yacht, there are severe footwear requirements. In order to protect the delicate and lovely deck of the yacht, luxury yacht charters typically urge guests to take off their shoes. When you are on a yacht, it is customary to see a basket for your shoes. The crew will only let you wear shoes made for sailing if you insist on wearing them. The soft bottoms of these shoes prevent the deck from being harmed. The deck, floors, and carpets will be damaged or scratched by heavy street shoes and stilettos, so they are not allowed.
Remember that you are sharing the yacht with others, so be considerate of their space and needs. Keep noise to a minimum and avoid doing anything that may disturb or annoy other guests.
Bringing illegal drugs or other prohibited items on board a yacht is strictly forbidden.
Enjoy yourself, but remember to drink responsibly and avoid getting drunk or disruptive.
Yachts have limited storage space, so avoid bringing too many bags or large items.Your yacht rental staterooms are professionally built, but they are not designed to hold a lot of storage. Storage space is quite a commodity on Yachts, Because of this, luxury yacht charter companies advise their clients not to bring any hardshell luggage with them. Softshell luggage is popular because it takes up less room and can be folded up when you’re not using it.
Treat the yacht’s amenities and equipment with care, and avoid damaging or misusing them.
The captain will give safety instructions before the yacht sets sail. Follow these instructions carefully to avoid any accidents or injuries.
When visiting a new place, remember to be respectful of the local culture and customs, and avoid doing anything that may offend the locals or damage the environment.
If You are trying to find the ideal Toronto boat charter that meet all of your requirements? With so many options, it is simple to become confused. Whatever your needs, Toronto Yachts is prepared to meet them for any occasion you want to host.
Allow us to provide you with a custom schedule and a staff to help you have the greatest experience possible at lake Ontario.

recently i've found that i seem to be speaking more and more about my personal life when writing up a blog post. i suppose it makes sense really, illustrating fits into my lifestyle and is influenced by it so i suppose talking about my life would probably inevitably occur at some point.
branching out from my blog seemingly becoming more personal, yesterday i considered the idea of posting about my outfits from day to day. i wouldn't say i religiously kept up with fashion and what's on trend at the minute, but i do try and maintain a certain sense of style that i think suits me. my friends always comment on how i make 'a lot of effort' for just going into uni, but dressing well is just something that i enjoy doing, whether i'm just nipping to the shop or going out for a fancy meal; as far as i'm concerned, if i don't look good, i can't feel good! also, as a design student, if i'm interested in how other things look, naturally i should be interested in how i look, right?
after having the brainwave yesterday, i started searching online for a tripod for my camera, and it turns out they're really hard to find for my model! so after failing to find one at a reasonable price, i gave up the idea altogether, until this morning while completing my 'attributes and qualities of a good graphic designer' essay, when i had another brainwave that was the solution to my problem (why it came to me while discussing cultural awareness, i've no idea.)
and here is my solution! if i can't photograph my outfits, i can illustrate them! that way, i don't have to worry about my hair looking right, the lighting being right or any other trivial issues that may get in the way of me posting images online. i decided to have a play around in illustrator when creating this illustration, and i think i'm content with the simple overall look of it. although it was slightly time consuming, i think it's something i'll probably play around with again when i think i've thrown together an outfit that i deem worthy of a mention.
until next time, i'd love to hear any of your feedback! would you be interested in seeing more illustrated ootd posts from me?

A disorganized bedroom can increase stress levels and affect your quality of rest time. The right storage is key to transforming your bedroom into an uncluttered sanctuary. And a well-chosen almirah and metal bed is one piece of furniture that should make life more organized. However, finding the perfect storage option for your bedroom can be difficult. That’s why we have put together top tips on how to choose an Almirah for clothes.
Consider where the almirah and metal bed goes in your bedroom. A common question is how big of an almirah and metal bed. This depends on several factors, including the space in the bedroom and the requirements you have for a wardrobe. Most manufacturers build wardrobes to be at least 45cm deep, which should be enough to give you the option of having plenty of shelves, drawers, and hanging space. So think in practice whether there will be enough space to open the door, walk around easily, and place other pieces of furniture conveniently. This space is invaluable for storing extra bedding.
There are hundreds of different almirah and metal beds in Sharan Almirah. When you open the door, you have unlimited options regarding the combination and configuration of hanging spaces, drawers, shelves, and shoe racks that can be integrated within.
To begin with, the first question to ask yourself is what type of storage do you primarily need? Once you have made it clear what you are going to do with your almirah. You can think of essential functionality. This will help determine the external and internal requirements you want to meet.
As a large and distinctive piece of furniture, the design of the wardrobe contributes greatly to the overall theme and style of the bedroom. You can check the size and style before buying the metal bed online.
There are endless styles to choose from timeless and versatile classics to high-gloss and contemporary elegance, from elegant French boudoirs to minimalist Scandinavian chic. Small touches like handles also affect the overall appeal of the wardrobe. Whether you choose elegant glass knobs, slim chrome-plated handles, or ring pullers, these subtle accomplices are customizable and help polish the overall style.
Also, consider whether you want to complement your almirah and metal bed with other pieces of furniture, such as nightstands, chests of drawers, or dressers. If you want to match, check if the almirah and the metal bed are part of the suite.

The answer to the title question is NO. Home Depot did NOT cancel their Black Friday 2020 tool deals or savings events.
About a week ago, there were numerous reports about Home Depot changing their Black Friday 2020 promo plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some stories and posts were about Home Depot cancelling Black Friday, resulting in some panicked questions. Other articles more neutrally covered the announcement as Home Depot adapting to challenging times.
I have already started receiving questions asking about Black Friday 2020 deals and promos, even prior to this announcement, and one or two emails asked about how COVID-19 would change things.
NO, Home Depot didn’t cancel Black Friday this year.
For the most part, we still don’t know how COVID-19 will affect the holiday shopping season. The most popular promos typically require sizable quantities of tools or supplies, which are shipped to many hundreds and even thousands of retail store locations. We have seen supply constraints due to the pandemic, and so the holiday and Black Friday 2020 shopping season probably won’t closely follow earlier plans.
The retail industry has shown the ability to swiftly accommodate to challenging circumstances, and although Black Friday promotions won’t be run in the same way as in previous years, there’s no indication that it will be any smaller in scale this year than in previous years.
Social distancing practices have many stores seeking to responsibly manage in-store foot traffic. Home Depot’s promo sections and store layouts won’t be the same or perhaps not even close to what we’ve seen in prior years – they simply cannot be.
Personally, I think that there will be an emphasis on online shopping, more so than in previous years, and hopefully an emphasis on a smooth curbside pickup system.
Among other things, Home Depot’s announcement specifically said:
For the first time ever, our Black Friday prices will be available throughout the holiday season.
For the first time, The Home Depot mobile app users will have exclusive access to view deals in November before they go live online.
Here’s the thing – many Black Friday specials have historically been available starting in early November, in Home Depot’s gift center. Perhaps with these changes more of them will be available for online ordering sooner.
I’d love to see a virtual holiday season gift center that we could “walk around.”
I don’t know how I feel about mobile-only exclusive early access to view deals. I like to browse on my phone, and I might order an item or two from Amazon on occasion, but I do the bulk of my online buying from a laptop or desktop computer.
Say goodbye to one day of frenzied shopping and enjoy Black Friday savings all season long without the stress and crowds.
Here’s the thing…
We typically see traffic spikes on Thanksgiving, as deals go live or are set to go live a few hours later. Our deal posts and roundups are exhausting to put together, but I find them useful and absolutely worthwhile when I’m in a Thanksgiving evening shopping frenzy comparing prices and promos. I always figure that if it’s useful for me, it’s useful for others, and this has seemed to be the case in previous years.
After years of reporting on Black Friday tool deals, I don’t think that Home Depot has much to change. We see special buys and holiday values starting in November anyway, with some further price drops in late November or early December. We’ll see a selection of new deals for Black Friday and online-only specials for Cyber Monday.
In my opinion, Home Depot already has a winning formula – they’ve stuck to a similar trend for the past few years, and it has worked out well for them.
I sometimes visit Home Depot stores over Thanksgiving weekend, but usually most of my Home Depot Black Friday deal purchases are done online. Items that you wouldn’t think would ship well, such as 4-foot levels, are very well packaged.
It doesn’t sound to me that Home Depot is making any big changes to their deals, only how they communicate about these deals and promos to customers.
If the COVID accommodations also means they will be spreading their Doorbuster-style deals across a wider period, that’ll be good, or at least interesting.
I buy a fair number of Home Depot special buys in-store, but hardly ever during Black Friday weekend. I do take advantage of Home Depot’s Doorbuster-type deals, online-only specials, and other promos that won’t last after the Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday period, but usually online and not in-store.
If you ask me, I would say that Home Depot will still hold back many Black Friday specials for Thanksgiving weekend, potentially making them online-only specials, maybe with pickup or curbside pickup as an option.
With so many promos and sales events taking place the last week of November, a lot of people pass on deals earlier in the season, with the mindset that if they wait there will surely be better bargains. In some cases, waiting for a better deal does work out well for consumers, depending on the tool or types of tools they’re shopping for.
There are 9 weeks until Thanksgiving, and we won’t have many insights or clarity until that gap closes by quite a bit.
One thing for certain is that Home Depot is NOT cancelling Black Friday 2020. Given the significant rise in consumer spending on tools and home improvement products, there’s the possibility of this being their biggest holiday season yet.

Pop music surrounds us, but how often do we really listen to what we’re hearing? Switched on Pop is the podcast that pulls back the curtain on pop music. Each episode, join musicologist Nate Sloan and songwriter Charlie Harding as they reveal the secret formulas that make pop songs so infectious. By figuring out how pop hits work their magic, you’ll fall in love with songs you didn’t even know you liked.
There is a tradition in country that loves flawed characters lost on a winding journey… likely down a dit road. One of the best songwriters in this style is acclaimed songwriter Brandy Clark. Her credits include a whose-who of country music Kacey Musgraves, Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, Lean Rimes—and her albums have received overwhelming critical acclaim.
Her debut record, 12 stories, earned her a 2015 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. We spoke with Brandy about her new album “Your Life Is A Record”, an album which asks what if your life’s journey fit on one LP. The songs are honest, not larger than life songs. Clark writes songs about anti-heroes who make imperfect choices with titles like: “Who You Thought I Was” and “The Past Is The Past”. Together her songs portray one whole life.

THE RIVETING DRAMA and moral risks that are part of TV journalism offer a fertile field for artists. Paddy Chayefsky in Network told us the story of “the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.” In Broadcast News, James L. Brooks showed us the real dangers to the soul of journalism when vacuous flash is valued over substance. Into the ranks of the protagonists of these classics—mad prophet of the airwaves Howard Beale and the smooth but unethical Tom Grunick—now ambles Will McAvoy, the anchorman hero of Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” who has made it his mission to “speak truth to stupid.”
I wanted this show to be great. When asked to participate in a conference call, gratis, where I shared some of my reporting experiences with the writers, I eagerly did so. But I won’t further bury the lede: “The Newsroom,” which debuts June 24 on HBO, is sadly disappointing. There’s much to criticize in the media—and TV news in particular. But though “The Newsroom” intends to lecture its viewers on the higher virtues of capital-J journalism, Professor Sorkin soon reveals he isn’t much of an expert on the subject.
SORKIN HAS a well-known penchant for projecting his political fantasies onto his protagonists: See the crusading presidents Andrew Shepherd (from The American President) and Jed Bartlet (of “The West Wing”). McAvoy (who is played by Jeff Daniels) is the journalistic equivalent, a messiah sent to save broadcast news.
The series begins with McAvoy’s conversion from cynical hack to truth-telling idealist. We first meet him as part of a Northwestern University panel where he’s pilloried for his passionless impartiality. “You’re the Jay Leno of news anchors,” he’s told. “You’re popular because you don’t offend anyone.” Further goaded by his old-school, bourbon-soaked boss at the (fictional) ACN cable network, Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston), and his new executive producer, MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer)—with whom he has a messy romantic past—McAvoy experiences an epiphany. He goes on air and apologizes to the public for having pursued unimportant stories in pursuit of ratings. He will now only report on what is serious and real. He will dedicate himself to protecting civic virtue.
But that prompts the question: protect it from what? This is where Sorkin’s high-minded critique falls flat. McAvoy sanctimoniously laments the deterioration of public discourse and the news media’s complicity in it. But if that is the problem, his subsequent actions reveal a commitment to a uniformly partisan solution. McAvoy—and, by extension, Sorkin—preach political selflessness, but they practice pure partisanship; they extol the Fourth Estate’s democratic duty, but they believe that responsibility consists mostly of criticizing Republicans. This is done through the oldest trick in the book for a Hollywood liberal: by having McAvoy be a “sane Republican” who looks at his party with sadness and anger.
The fact, then, that the show begins in 2010—at the height of the Tea Party’s fervor—is no accident; it’s what enables the show’s didacticism. Sorkin’s intent is to show how events of recent memory could have been covered better by the media if journalists had only had the courage. Some of Sorkin’s lessons are well-taken. We see McAvoy under pressure from his bosses to confirm, or at least repeat, the false NPR report that Representative Gabrielle Giffords had been killed. Those scenes ring true, as do others in which ratings pressures are discussed.
But more often than not, Sorkin simply demonstrates his own confusion about what ails journalism. He begins with the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. One of McAvoy’s producers has expert inside sources at BP and Halliburton, so ACN’s “News Night” leads with the story as a tale of environmental disaster, corporate sloth, and government impotence. Meanwhile every other network—bereft of such information—is myopically focused on the fire on the oil rig and the deaths of eleven workers. But citing the BP oil spill is a curious way to charge journalistic malpractice: By my recollection, that was a story the media covered fairly aggressively and responsibly.
In another episode Sorkin pats McAvoy on the back for limiting his coverage of the failed Times Square bomber and resisting the temptation to “hype” a terrorist threat that fizzled. (With no apparent sense of sarcasm, Skinner repeats praise for their restraint from Media Matters and Think Progress, as if those explicitly liberal websites are nonideological arbiters of Edward R. Murrow’s legacy.) And what are the important issues “News Night” covers instead of the piffle of Faisal Shahzad, a homegrown terrorist funded and trained by the Pakistani Taliban? McAvoy instead devotes at least a week of his broadcast to showcasing what a horribly inept and dangerous bunch Tea Party Republicans are as they—gasp!—defeat establishment Republicans in free and fair primaries and elections. It’s all well and good to follow the Koch brothers’ money, but at a time when Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of Congress, it’s telling that McAvoy and Sorkin aim their sights at conservatives seeking power—not moderates and liberals wielding it.
In a later episode, McAvoy dismantles the preposterously under-sourced claim that President Obama’s trip to India cost $200 million per day. This was a story that was widely discredited at the time, but McAvoy is not content to merely debunk it. Instead, he works himself into a fervor connecting the dots of the now-familiar path of bogus-source-to-obscure-website-to-Drudge-to-Limbaugh-to-the-zeitgeist. It is as if he had discovered the lost city of Atlantis. And when McAvoy goes after a National Rifle Association campaign to portray Obama as anti-gun, he insists on depicting it as a moral crusade in defense of the public good. But he never feels the need to question whether—in the midst of crises in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the international economy—it’s really so noble after all to devote one’s limited resources to fact-checking relatively unimportant political attacks. As such, it’s hard not to judge the resulting segment as falling short of McAvoy’s newly idealistic raison d’être—though Sorkin clearly seems to think otherwise.
SCENE: INTERIOR. TNR Office, Washington, D.C.
EDITOR: Butwhatabout the thing?
EDITOR: ThatSORKINthing whentwo charactersarewalkingdownahallway oronthestreet and thedialogue EXPLODESlikePOPCORN fastandsalty and-it’s ... stylizedandfun.
TAPPER: Oh. THATthing.
EDITOR: Yes. Thething.
Of Sorkin’s signature style of dialogue, there is little to be said other than you either love it or hate it. (I happen to enjoy it when it’s cooking, but left this meal unsated.) The cast, for its part, is stellar, but in the spectrum of Sorkin-esque characters, with their outbreaks of fevered romances and boxes of bons mots, the journalists of “News Night” regrettably lean more to the “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” than the “Sports Night” side of the scale. Underused assets include Olivia Munn as a gorgeous economic reporter, Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel as the office blogger with a tiresome belief in Big Foot, and the always-great Chris Messina as the corporate heavy.
It also must be said that Daniels has made a bold, but admirable, decision to portray McAvoy, credibly, as a very talented jerk. It’s telling that one of the ways that Sorkin prepared himself for “The Newsroom” was by embedding himself with Keith Olbermann’s (since-canceled) “Countdown” on MSNBC. McAvoy shares many weaknesses of other cable news stars—most notably, a blindness to his own ideology. This is the disconnect that allows them to proclaim a commitment to Truth and Beauty right before launching a ten-minute broadside against an opponent’s petty foibles or to make a plea for civility right before releasing a sneering explosion of disdain. For members of the media who watch the show, McAvoy will be entirely recognizable, if not for his idealistic naïveté, then for his childish egoism.
An HBO executive once told me that, since so much artistic freedom is given to its shows’ creators, new series often take a few episodes before they find their rhythm. I hope that proves to be true here. The cast is too good, Sorkin too skilled, and the subject matter too rich. There are too many fields to plow—a sub-plot involving one branch of the corporate empire plotting against another branch seems promising, as do the commercial pressures on the show to be first with information, its accuracy notwithstanding. But “The Newsroom” had me contemplating that which is so feared in my industry: changing the channel. And I was watching it on DVD.

From Ted Forstmann, quoted in The Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Forstmann’s argument about the present crisis starts with the money supply. After Sept. 11, 2001, the Federal Reserve pumped so much money into the financial system that it distorted the incentives and the decision making of everyone in finance. He illustrates this with what he calls his “little children’s story”: Once upon a time, when credit conditions and the costs of borrowing money were normal, the bank opened at 9:00 a.m. and closed at 5:00 p.m. For eight hours a day, bankers made loans and took deposits, and then they went home.
But after 9/11, the Fed opened the spigot. Short-term interest rates went to zero in real terms and then into negative territory. When real interest rates are negative, borrowing money is effectively free – the debt loses value faster than the interest adds up. This led to a series of distortions in the financial sector that are only now coming to light. The children’s story continues: “Now they [the banks] have all this excess money. And they open at nine, and from nine to noon or so, they’re doing all the same kind of basically legitimate things with it that they did before.”
So far, so good. “But at noon, they have tons of money left. They have all this supply, and the, what I would call ‘legitimate’ demand – it’s probably not a good word – but where risk and reward are still in balance, has been satisfied. But they’re still open until five. And around 3:30 in the afternoon they get to such things as subprime mortgages, OK? And what you guys haven’t seen yet is what happened between noon and 3:30.”

“The Boob Jam is a game jam,” reads the official site. “We’re inviting game developers to make games about one of video games’s very favourite subjects: Tits!”
It might sound like something one of the more misogynistic developers might decide to do, or something you’d see as part of a game show with handfuls of scantily clad booth babes standing around, but it’s not, it comes from the mind (and jokes) of Jenn Frank, writer for Unwinnable.com and the disembodied voice in Super Hexagon. What does she want developers to do with boobs? Something different.
“Make a game that talks about boobs without resorting to the ‘straight male gaze,'” is the only instruction for the Boob Jam. It’s based around the concept created by a few joking tweets Frank made, one of which said. “What if you had to watch a sexy videogame character also buy bras, cry softly when she can’t find one that fits, and go in for mammograms?”
It’s a bit graphic, but she has a point. It’s described further via the Boob Jam site, that breasts are almost entirely used in video games as an aspect of a character that is exciting to look at. There’s a long running gag in fighters like Dead or Alive or Soul Calibur that the characters’ chests are far too big to be practical, but rarely are they a topic beyond that.
The point of the Boob Jam is to highlight that they’re more than just eye candy for male gamers. Frank and others don’t want to see less breast meat, they just want to see what other contexts they can be placed in, to perhaps make them more relevant to a more varied audience and perhaps explore what else they can mean to gamers.
Some suggested game types from commenters have involved breast milk shooting heroines, bra size shopping woes, a stealth game based around hiding your cleavage or finding a quiet place to breast feed your child because many locales consider it sexual and unwelcome in public society.
Boob Jam is set to take place from now until the end of September, so if you want to be part of it, do some brainstorming and send your submissions over to the official Tumblr page.
KitGuru Says: I’m down for this. What sort of breast based games can you guys think up (this is a chance for KG readers to sound progressive here, let’s steer clear of the dumb stereotypes people).

If you aren’t already a fan of John Salley, you will be after reading this interview!
Standing at 6’11”, former Detroit Pistons “bad boy” John Salley may seem intimidating, but IRL, he’s a down-to-earth, compassionate vegan with dedication and drive like no other. After playing with five NBA teams, Salley went on to host TV shows like The Best Damn Sports Show Period, act in films (most recently, Disney’s Sneakerella), speak at vegan festivals, and partner with several vegan businesses. Keep reading to learn how John Salley went from winning NBA championships to running a vegan empire and starring on the big screen!
VegOut (VO): When and why did you first transition to a plant-based diet?
John Salley (JS): It was in 1991. Dr. Jewel Pookrum said, “You’re full of sh*t.” I said, “Excuse me?” She said, “Literally, you’re full of sh*t. So we’re gonna start by giving you a colonic, and then we’re gonna change what you eat.” From 1991 to around 2007, I was a lying vegetarian. I ate mostly vegetarian and macrobiotic but I still had foods like turkey burgers and cheese.
VO: So you officially went vegan in the 2000s. What led you to that decision?
JS: As PETA and Mercy For Animals brought me in [for PSAs and promotional videos], I talked about [veganism] all the time—“These guys gotta stop eating steak, they gotta stop eating cheeseburgers”—but I was still eating turkey burgers. One time, I did a PSA for PETA and my friend and assistant said, “The food in the back is off the chain!” I went back there and started grubbing, and the PETA team told me it was all vegan. That day, I went home and told everyone I went vegan.
VO: Did you notice a difference in your performance on the court when you made the change to a vegan diet?
JS: I went from 235 pounds with pimples on my head, smelly feet, lower back pain, knee pain, and a bad attitude to 219 pounds, and I was running faster, jumping higher, my face cleared up, my body odor was gone—everything was different.
VO: What inspired you to start experimenting in the kitchen with vegan recipes? Do you have any favorites you can share with us?
JS: My mother was a kosher caterer who was born in 1923. Almost everything I had growing up was from scratch, and I always liked cooking. When I went vegan, I had to [cook] because there was nothing out there, and to me, the vegan food tasted like styrofoam with barbecue sauce. I like to make Bolognese, penne arrabbiata, pasta with cheese, and a kale salad. My kale salad takes me an hour. I literally pull all of the veins out, then I massage it and add a champagne vinaigrette made with balsamic vinegar, moringa, turmeric, guanabana, carrots, white onion, and a little grapeseed oil.
VO: You get so many comments about how young you look. How do you respond?
JS: When you buy a car, you don’t expect it to get fat. You don’t expect the tires to give out. Some color maybe, you may have a dent. Your body is not going to change. So that’s the way I look at it. This is a race car, and I keep it a race car.
VO: How has your approach to spreading veganism changed over the years?
JS: I realized that if you wake people up and shake them hard, they get mad. But if you gently wake them up and give them something to taste, they’re more open. So I started waking up people nicely. First I started as a preacher, then a teacher, then a sage.
VO: After you left the NBA, you got into TV hosting and acting. How did those ventures come about?
JS: In ‘89, I started on television. Magic used to laugh and say, “This has been John’s plan!” Because I used to tell him, “I’m gonna play in the NBA and become famous and then I’m gonna go on TV and be like Johnny Carson.” In ‘97, I started doing sitcoms and was like, “Well, I already did Bad Boys and Eddie, I think I’m gonna act.” Because I always wanted to. So I started acting. And then I got on NBC talking about sports. After that, I got The Best Damn Sports Show Period.
VO: You have quite the resume now! What was it about acting that fascinated you so much?
JS: Growing up, going to the movies was my thing. And when I was playing in the NBA, to stop me from going out, I would go to acting class. I had one of the greatest acting coaches, Ivana Chubbuck. I’d sit next to her every Wednesday. The more I worked on the craft, the more respect I had for it. I love the process.
VO: Most recently, you announced that you’re creating your own show. What inspired that?
JS: I just kept realizing that I was always getting a show, and not getting a show. Getting a movie, and not getting a movie. I don’t want to do that anymore. At this time, this show I’m making is an NFT and it’s a hell of a shot but it’s my chance to make the show I want to make.
VO: You’re currently involved in several amazing vegan businesses and organizations. What are they and how did the opportunities come about?
JS: When I started as a born-again vegan, I got into The Vegan Vine and learned the wine business. Through that, I worked with a vegan cheese company from Greece and started speaking at vegan festivals all over the country, [first] at VegFest in Michigan. We went from being inside a junior high school to being in a convention center. When I did the PSA for PETA, they told me about this vegan restaurant in Tarzana called Madeleine Bistro—I lived literally a mile away from it. That’s how I met Dave Anderson of Beyond Meat, [which I joined as an original investor in 2009]. In 2020, [the Cafe Organix team] came to me and asked me to [join their founding team and] check out this location they were looking into. I drove up and the address was 420 E. Hospitality Lane, and I said, “Take it!” In 2020, PETA gave me the Humanitarian Award, and they put me with Maya from Maya’s Cookies. Maya said, “I think you can help me.” Six months later, we got the contract, [and now I’m working with them as an advisor.]
VO: You also co-own the cannabis brand Deuces22 with your daughter, Tyla Milan. How did that come about? And what’s it like to run a business with your daughter?
JS: She’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met—and I’ve met a lot of people. She told me, “If you want to invest in my future, college is going to cost thousands of dollars. We should put that into what I really want to do.”
VO: What is something you wish more people knew about being a business owner?
JS: Everyone talks about money. Money is not an obstacle. You don’t need money to start a business—you need an idea. The idea has to be worth your energy and time. If it’s a good idea, people will give you the money.
VO: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
JS: Watch the John Salley Crypto Show!
