Knoxville — The sounds of the crowd, feel of the cool October air, smells of popcorn, there's just something unique about high school football Friday nights. Hundreds or thousands of spectators attend the games but very few have ever experienced the stunning and unique experience of what happens in the weight room in June, on the practice field in July, then in the locker rooms and on the sidelines on game night, then in the hallways of the school after a thrilling victory, or heartwrenching defeat.
Friday is pretty normal on the outside to most people, but as soon as that bell rings at 3:07 you just get into a different mindset. You wake up on that Friday morning and you know the day is different. You've been thinking about and practicing for this game since the buzzer sounded after the last one, either 6 days or 9 months ago. You learned and corrected things from that night, but as soon as you can your mind shifts to the next week's opponent.
You immediately start to watch film, analyzing their offense for tendencies, their defense for weakness and places to exploit. Then practices are geared toward the plays they'll run and their defenses. You've been going since June, lifting, running, camps, two-a-days, regular practice, team pictures, film sessions and everything else...and then game day is here.
The school day is relatively normal, but again, that's all on the outside; inside you know it's not. School is merely something you have to endure before every last distraction is out of the way and it's time to mentally focus 100% on the game. Once the bell rings at 3:07 you absolutely snap into a different mindset. Not much is funny. You develop a sense of mental and physical tunnel vision; your face even changes. You don't necessarily frown but have a deep, stoic look where you and everyone around knows there is one thing on your mind.

Joba's makin' it look easyBy
In his AAA debut tonight, Joba Chamberlain made it look easy. He went 5 innings, giving up 4 hits and 1 walk. He allowed no runs and 10 of his 15 outs came via the good ol' strike out. So that line looks like this: 5, 4, 0, 0, 1, 10. So much for that three home run start in Trenton last week. For on-the-scenes reporting and analysis, check out the game post at the SW-B Yankees blog. Now the Yanks have two pitchers at AAA who are better than Kei Igawa.
19 Comments»
I'd say SWB has 4 pitchers better than Igawa at the moment. Hughes, Karstens, Joba and Kennedy.
haha gotcha Ben. Well at least tommorow is the last time we'll see the kei-man for awhile.
Kei Igawa SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[...] (3) « Giambi ready to rehab Joba's makin' it look easy [...]
Bringing Chamblerain up along with Hughes is vital for the Yankees winning a 10th straight division title.
Check out my 3 part plan right here:
There's a question now on peoples minds…
since Joba is weeks or even days from THE SHOW, who will have the next WATCH????
Ian and Horne are really close at this point(i think Horne will be in AAA in 10 days or so)
more fun to see someone advance…
Betances is Raw and his watch might last 5 years
Jario Heredia is my favorite teen pitcher on the Yankees and polished, but still only 17
T-Clip & Chase are going in the wrong direction
Kontos has talent but not JoBa, PHIL talent
Christian Garcia's TJ rehab is going well, he has great stuff and will be pitching with the chance to advance next year…
Robertson????? He should be in trenton soon and could see the SHOW in 2008 if he keeps these ridiculous numbers going
Can it be a position player??? Action Jackson & Tabata will both start next year at trenton….. ETA on Tabata midseason call-up 09′?
Interesting call for the fellas at RAB, looking forward to seeing who you decide
good question c-note. If brackman doesnt have TJ surgery then i'd say he's a good choice as far as pitchers go. possible hitters could be miranda, duncan, tabata, a-jax. i think everyone wants a guy who wont take 5 years, but also a guy who wont be there in 5 weeks. they could go with horne as a semi-short term guy, he wont be in the bigs until mid-season 2008 at the earliest simply because of the guys in front of him. then the new player watch would be decided once someone establishes himself as the RAB top-dog. in a less wordy version: let horne have it next, once he graduates make a decision
What I love about both Joba & Phil is that reportely when they get into trouble, they slow down and use their change more and become more deliberate. They don't get excited and overthrow (and implode) like Contreas used to when he came up.
This is a trait of a champion, like the great Mariano, Jeters or the Michael Jordans of the world.
Do you remember when the next wave of superstar pitchers were Sam Militello, Sterling Hitchock and Mark Hutton. That was more the Yanks PR machine than the true talent like we have now.
If the Yankees do intend to have Joba pitch this season in relief, I would expect him to begin throwing from the bullpen in Scranton in the near future. It doesn't make sense to throw him into a new role in the Bronx with no experience. So a tip-off about their plans would be seeing Joba work out of the bullpen ust after the trade deadline.
Jose Tabata is my candidate for the next watch, just for the change-of-pace to a position player. Unless he's trade for Texeira….
For another change-of-pace, position player, I'll go with Juan Miranda to step into a platoon with Andy Philips at first base.
Austin Jackson and Tabata are on the right track but two years away.
Zach McAllister would be a nice guy to watch, but he is a bit far away next year maybe. Miranda sounds good because he is pretty close to coming up.
BLAKE- yea, I thought of McAllister too, his mechanics and stuff are more polished that Betances and he has the chance to move up through the system very quickly, but you're right , he's still far away and as stocked as we are right now he might move "quickly" but he won't be rushed
Horne or Miranda might be fun because their is a good chance to THE SHOW sometime next year(although there is a chance of Horne being one of the dozen guys who might get a sept call -up)
DAN makes a good point, someone like Horne or Miranda who is close and then next year choose from Garcia, McAllister, Kontos, Brackman, etc….
with the whole Randy Johnson trade argument yesterday it reminded me of what can happen when you are unable to evaluate your own talent…
FACT- in 1993, the trading deadline, the Yanks said NO to a trade with Seattle for Randy Johnson- at the time RJ was about a .500 career pitcher. the Yanks didn't wanna give up the JEWELS of their system… the names of these future Yankee greats? Mark Hutton & Domingo Jean-
that one might've worked out OK for us…
I think JoBA's AAA career is off to a better start than Clay D. Buchholz, don't ya think?
BTW- I took a lot of shit a few weeks back when I pointed out that at the time Buchholz & Horne had very similiar stats @ AA and no one was regarding Horne on that level— I was told that Buchholz was 22 and Horne 24 and that was huge difference in prospects… I just looked on line, freaking Buchholz turns 23 in like two weeks! there's less that a 1 1/2 difference between him and my man HORNE and look at the numbers, even with Horne having two rough outtings before the last one he's still having a sick year and VERY close number to Bucholz who GETS ALL THE HYPE!!!!! 17 months is that big a difference? I can understand if we were talking July 2nd signings the differnce bewteen a 16 year old and someone whose 17 years and 5 months… but as of Aug one cat(Buchholz) is 23 and Horne is still 24… I'm telling ya Horne has a chance
The big difference in ages in that PHIL H was killing AA @ 19 & Joba @ 21
sorry, just needed to get that off my chest
I think the next "Watch" should go to Brett Gardner
Another thins that is very good about PHIL and Joba is their humbleness. Both players are just good guys that know their the best but dont say it, all they care about is doing the best they can. The last thing you want is an asshole.
I think Brett could (should be up Sept 1st)

State Attorneys General 'Blast' Malt Alcohol Drink
Attorneys from 16 states ask Pabst Brewing Co. to reduce the alcohol in its Blast malt beverage.
The attorneys general of 16 states and Guam and the city attorney of San Francisco sent a letter Thursday to the CEO of Pabst Brewing Co. urging the brewer to reduce the amount of alcohol in its new Blast malt alcohol drink, claiming the company is marketing the drink to underage people.
Blast, which contains 12 percent alcohol by volume and comes in a 23.5-ounce can, is endorsed by rapper Snoop Dogg. The drink, released earlier this month, comes in flavors such as grape, raspberry watermelon, blueberry pomegranate, and strawberry lemonade, which the attorneys said are "youth-friendly."
"Pabst has chosen as its celebrity spokesperson, hip-hop/rap music artist Snoop Dogg, who is popular among persons under 21 and whose promotional videos for Blast are accessible to viewers of all ages," they wrote. "We also are aware of concerns that Pabst's marketing of Blast is targeting young African-Americans."
Last fall, a similar drink, Four Loko, came under fire because several college students were hospitalized after drinking them. The Food and Drug Administration required Phusion Projects, Four Loko's parent company, to remove the caffeine from the product. Blast does not contain caffeine.
This isn't the first time the drink has come under fire—in a March letter to the New York State liquor board, New York City Council Member Robert Jackson asked the state to ban sales of the drink.
A 2004 study by the American Medical Association found that teen drinkers prefer sweet-flavored "alcopops" like Blast over other alcoholic drinks, and that half of all teen girls had seen alcopop ads, compared to just 34 percent of women 21 or older.

Fathers give many kinds of gifts to their children. As Christians, we realize that the most precious gift of all is the one our heavenly Father gave by sending His Son Jesus Christ: His death on the cross provided salvation for mankind (Rom. 6:23). While it is important for us to introduce our children to the Savior and explain how to have an eternal relationship with God, we cannot make that decision for anyone else—not even for our own sons and daughters. But as for gifts that earthly fathers can give their children, the greatest thing they are able to offer is something everyone needs and wants, and something God intended for all of us to have: unconditional, loving acceptance.
Some fathers unfortunately relate to their children through conditional love, which says, I love you if . . . , when . . . , or but . . . . Unconditional love, on the other hand, says, No matter what you do or how often you make bad choices, I love you. Even when we disapprove of behavior or hairstyle, our love never changes. Sadly, many children grow up with the opposite experience: rejection. Child abuse, a major problem today, comes in various forms, including physical and emotional mistreatment. The most devastating and prevalent type is verbal abuse, which destroys self-esteem and has lasting consequences.
Parents should heed Paul's warning: "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification" (Eph. 4:29). Parental love was designed to reflect the agape love of the heavenly Father. He accepts His children just as they are, no matter what—which gives us reason for confidence and security. Let me share five important results of such a godly parenting style:
A child's first representation of the Lord is his or her father. Picture a dad who provides for his children, protects them, edifies them, and offers guidance; he makes them feel worthy, competent, and highly valued. When he teaches his young ones to pray, saying, "Our heavenly Father . . . ," those children will form an image of God based on their earthly father, who is the primary authority they have known so far. On the other hand, when a parent is too busy or demanding, a child can form an incorrect view of the Lord. A harsh dad bases his approval on performance: "If you do this, then I will..." The child is likely to transfer his understanding of Dad to his perception of God, thinking, If I perform up to expectations, only then will the Lord accept me. But since Dad is harsh, God must also be condemning and judgmental—there is no way I could ever live up to His standards. Sadly, this all-too-common viewpoint assumes acceptance is based on what a person does rather than on who he or she is. Children instead need to understand that their father loves them no matter what, simply because they are his sons and daughters.
I used to feel some hesitation about five- and six-year-old children walking the aisle at church to be saved. However, I have since learned that when a father is godly and unconditionally loving, it is natural for his child to want the same heavenly Father that Daddy has. In contrast, when young people do not feel parental love in their family, they are much more likely to stray from the Lord. They may even understand intellectually that God is supposed to accept them, but they believe that should also be true of their earthly father. So if their experience at home proves otherwise, a confusing conflict results, casting doubt on the Lord's trustworthiness.
When the Lord called James and John to be His disciples (Matthew 4:21-22), they could have responded, "Jesus, You're calling us? We are just uneducated fishermen. We would love to follow You, but we're nobody, and You are the Messiah—You wouldn't want to be seen with our kind." They could have made all kinds of excuses, but instead, they immediately dropped their nets and followed the Lord. Those two young men grew up with a father who built self-esteem into their lives; their upbringing undoubtedly gave them confidence in their ability to make good decisions, so much so that they were even able to leave their father/business associate to follow Jesus. Regrettably, many parents devastate a child's self-image by confusing actions with personhood. It is one thing to say, "Your behavior is not in keeping with who you are." This actually sends a positive message that the parent views the child as capable, even though behavior fell short of his or her potential. However, it is quite another thing to express, "You are no good and will never amount to anything." A verbal attack like this is devastating at the core of a person's being and may cripple his or her ability to make good decisions. When a child misses the mark, how much more edifying it is to build esteem by saying, "Don't worry about that. I know you are going to make it. I'll be praying for you."
We can expect that most children will at times defy their parents. After all, the Bible says that a child who is trained correctly will not depart from the right way "when he is old." (Proverbs 22:6) But fathers should guard against excessive reactions to situations that are not "war issues"—a restrained response is far less likely to provoke sons and daughters to develop a spirit of rebellion. When parenting is accompanied by unconditional love, then it is far less probable that hostility, depression, or perfectionism will manifest in children. There is also less chance of self-pity, workaholism, jealousy, or promiscuity. Now, this in no way means that we should avoid disciplining our sons and daughters. The Word of God frequently encourages the proper training of children. (Proverbs 13:24; 19:18; 22:15; Ephesians 6:4) And, of course, our role model is the heavenly Father, who disciplines those He loves and "every son whom He receives" (Hebrews 12:6). Our parental correction, like His, is to be carried out in a context of love.
When children feel Dad's warmth and fatherly affection, they grow up feeling loved and accepted. In that way, they have been equipped to relate to friends without being critical or trying to change them. Men and women who grew up feeling accepted bring love, confidence, and security to their marriage. On the other hand, when two rejected people marry, the home can easily become a battleground, not because they want to live in strife, but because they don't know other ways of relating. Small things trigger annoyance and rejection because that has been their programmed response since childhood.
Psalm 127:3 calls children a "gift of the LORD"; we should take care of this precious blessing from God's hand. And when you follow the Holy Spirit's guidance, your actions, attitudes, and focused attention can demonstrate unconditional love—the greatest gift any father can give.

ASEAN Community
Some with the world's biggest investors are still busy dancing with China, another party continues to be located in the equator. The background music continues to be played gently in this region now they are able to wear some rock and roll to become listed on the party in the global community ballroom.
ASEAN Friends
The party were only available in 1967 and the founding fathers consented to name their party with ASEAN (Association of South East Asia Nations). For the following fifty years, as the majority of the party in this world, there has been always an event crusher just like the politic instability, territorial acclaimed, deforestation, or worst of all segregation. Thus, they still stand until today and they decide to bring some live to the party.
ASEAN Friends
Today, ASEAN begun to research and stay positive about making their own way to run things around. They already ratify the free trade agreement and it's also an excellent omen for that party to carry on forward. Good news is they also get involved as the third largest region inhabiting in Asia and knowning that reputation they're as delicious as the turkey for your investor's main course.
Before they go international show, the spot must pay attention to growing the regional infrastructure. As we have seen before, lots of its countries still being affected by their low inter region connectivity and transportation. Due to the 70 percent of their region is associated with archipelago state, ASEAN should give attention to bridging the country with railways, and ferry ships to connect between islands. A fantastic inter region railway system will certainly increase the economic fortune to the corner of ballroom party.
One more thing they mostly forget is always to provide enough energy to enhance the pace manufacture of domestic product. Unlike today's condition where one member still thirsts for lemonade yet others will be ready to help when they got paid. The party's members should sit together and build a centralized yet distributable energy system through the entire region. They need to build underground cables or sea cables to increase the village. With the overwhelming energy potential from sea power, ASEAN should build the energy plant from wave and wind energy to create clean energy for his or her regions.
The list of tags is empty.

What Do MS-Related Swallowing Problems Feel Like?Dysphagia includes many different problems with the swallowing process, even those that don't seem directly related to swallowing food, including:
- Difficulty chewing
- Coughing while eating or immediately afterwards
- Excessive saliva or drooling
- Choking
- Food sticking in the throat
- A weak, soft voice
- Feeling that it is hard to swallow food or move it to the back of the mouth
- Aspiration, meaning food or drink is going down the windpipe into the lungs
- Vomiting food back up
How Common Are MS-Related Swallowing Problems?Between 30 and 40 percent of people with MS experience swallowing problems at some time. However, for many people with MS-related dysphagia, these changes are so subtle that they may not be aware of them, besides experiencing the occasional coughing fit after something "goes down the wrong way."
What Causes MS-Related Swallowing Problems?Several different factors can contribute to swallowing problems, but the main cause of dysphagia are lesions in the part of the brain that controls swallowing (primarily the brainstem) or the nerves that provide feedback to the brain.
Dysphagia can also be caused or made worse by lack of saliva or dry mouth. Some medications used to control MS symptoms can cause a dry mouth, including:
- Anticholinergics, prescribed for bladder dysfunction or diarrhea, including: propantheline, (Norpanth, Pro-Banthine) and dicyclomine (Bentyl)
- Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), desipramine (Norpramin), doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil-PM), nortriptyline (Pamelor).
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), including fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa) and paroxetine (Paxil).
- Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors, a newer class of antidepressants, which includes venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine hydrochloride (Cymbalta).
How Severe Can MS-Related Swallowing Problems Get?Dysphagia can become so severe that people become dehydrated or malnourished. If the tips for managing swallowing difficulties (such as chewing your food thoroughly and adding thickener to your drinks) don't work, it may be necessary to use a feeding tube.
Aspirated food or liquids can also cause aspiration pneumonia. This is a particularly dangerous lung infection, especially in people that are not very mobile, and is actually a leading cause of death in people with MS.
Additional Points/Information
Can Come and Go: Just like other MS symptoms, dysphagia can come on during a relapse and disappear completely or greatly improve.
Silent Aspiration: Aspiration of food or drink can be happening even when you don't realize it, causing infections of the respiratory tract and lungs. If you have many chest infections, make sure the cause is investigated and that your swallowing is evaluated so that you can avoid problems in the future.
Who Can Help? Your neurologist (or the physician treating your MS) can refer you to a speech and language pathologist for evaluation. This person will probably watch you while you eat and drink, in order to determine what kind of difficulties you may be having during the swallowing process. You may also have to take a test called a videofloroscopy, which is an x-ray video of the swallowing process. A dietitian can also provide guidance and even recipes for food of the appropriate consistency, as well as make sure that you are maintaining adequate nutrition.
The Heimlich Maneuver: Everyone in your household, including yourself, should learn the Heimlich Maneuver. The Heimlich Maneuver is a preventive emergency measure to use to dislodge food when someone is choking. You can perform this on yourself. Learn the Heimlich Maneuver at www.heimlichinstitute.org. You'll be glad you did.
My ExperienceI've got to say, I was not overly excited to find out that dysphagia is yet another MS symptom that I might have, much less how common it is. However, this does explain how frequently I've coughed so hard when trying to take a vitamin tablet that I have nearly passed out. I also have learned the hard way that I should not have dinner with people that I find extremely amusing, as laughing and eating are a very dangerous mix for me, causing choking and sputtering and all sorts of undignified efforts to catch my breath.
When I learned that MS-related dysphagia was probably causing many of my "episodes," I looked at some of my habits. I was pretty much eating on the run, slouching over my food like a starving refugee and rushing through my meals. I have been working on eating slowly and mindfully, not talking with food in my mouth, sitting up straight and a bunch of other things to prevent swallowing problems, and I haven't had one of my dinnertime "spells" in awhile.
If you suspect you might have dysphagia and your habits are making your problems worse, try this: Pay attention next time you are watching television or a movie and a scene of people eating comes on. Watch how they eat – they take small bites, they don't ever talk with their mouths full, they eat slowly. Now picture yourself eating. How would you like to watch yourself during a typical meal on the "big screen?" If your response is "YIKES!" consider trying some of these Tips for Dealing with Swallowing Difficulties.

TheTimesTribune.com, Corbin, KY
By Les Dixon / Sports Editor
Brad Harris' Corbin Redhound golf team is ready to defend its 10th Region title with six players coming back from last year's squad.
Corbin has dominated 10th Region action, winning five straight regional crowns and Harris and his players are hoping to extend the streak to six.
"We are hoping to do that," he said. "Each player has really improved and I'm pleased with the way they have played this summer.
"Our seniors are good leaders and they are very hard workers," he added. "Their work ethic is really good and they know it's going to take hard work again this year to win the region. The big thing is they have the right mindset."
Returning for the Redhounds are seniors Connor Maguet, Alex Davis and Henry Moore along with sophomore Russ Tolliver, freshman John Austin Childress and eighth grader Brandon Elliott.
"This is the smallest team I've had," Harris noted. "We also have a new player in Lucas Henigar — he's a seventh grader."
The core group of Maguet, Davis and Moore has Harris excited for the season to begin, which is today, as Corbin will travel to Lafayette to play in the 5-Star General Classic.
"Those three have a lot of experience," Harris said. "All three have the ability to go out there and shoot under par. Each one of them has been very successful this summer, too.
"We return a solid nucleus and that's important," he added. "I feel confident in their play, and each one knows what it takes to be successful. We have the experience returning that should make us a very solid team."

Gallery: Josie Long's Lost Treasures of the Black Heart
It's a rare thing a comedy night that makes you feel like you're part of a club, but Lost Treasures does that. The brainchild of Josie Long, it is a night where comedians (among others) talk about unsung heroes – but more than that, it is also chock full of warmth, games, fascinating monologues and even a live illustrator, taking visual 'minutes' of the show.
It has an official mascot, an official football team and a merch stall. LiF says: "VENERATED!"
And here are some images from last Tuesday's installment, thank you to Gaurav Sajjanhar for these.
Josie Long salutes the aforementioned club mascot, Eugene Debs, the celebrated socialist
Robin Ince – a man with no shortage of heroes to speak of – praised American philosopher Rick Roderick, author of A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn and Harlan Ellison among others
Music journalist Dan Hancox made a mightily impressive stage debut with his tribute to Nigel Goodall, author of remarkably content-free celebrity biographies. Via the medium of Goodall, Hancox also introduced Lost Treasures to the terms "cast", "character" and "DVD"
Meanwhile the Tower of London came under the spotlight during Sara Pascoe's turn, in particular the concept of the 'pledge prisoner', whereby some poor sod would serve another person's prison term. Here you can also see illustrator Anna Saunders logging the night's key findings
Fun with words! Jess Fostekew spoke about her fondness for etymology (the study of the history of words) and her new-found respect for the words "sincere", "lunch" and "computer"
Long hosts the monthly (ish) show with sidekicks Nye Bevan and announcer-bot 2000. Or whoever happens to be around
Illustrator-in-residence Anna Saunders, who has handsomely documented all of the Lost Treasures shows so far
Gareth Gwynn, who returned to the club after a previous Lost Treasures show when he blew the audience's mind with his facts about his grandfather

Happy Birthday Crackberry!!! I love this system! I read about it back when you guys introduced it to the crackberry nation in Vegas and I have desperatly wanted it ever since! I tried to win this one on valentines day, but I was beat out by someone who Schlage obviously thought needed it more ha ha, but Im back to try again and the deal is even more sweet this time! I just got a new condo and furnished it with all new furniture and a nice new plasma TV, this is the 1st time in my life i've had stuff that is actually worth protecting, and I can't imagine a better way to do it than with my BB and Schlage's help!! Please guys, hook a brotha up.
What better way to secure your home than through your BB? YES!

Being able to monitor who is in and out of the house, freeze or roast them with the thermostat and all from my BB. Most excellent!

I've seen the LiNK before when looking for new locks for the house I recently bought thought it was pretty damn cool... I just didn't want to drop the cash for the setup and settled on regular Schlage lock sets. Now that they have the commercials out showing how nifty the LiNK is, I am sure they are selling like hot cakes!

At times, the modern political climate may seem stranger than fiction, so it may be comforting (or disconcerting) to know that several recent political events initially took place years prior, on NBC's beloved series The West Wing, which aired from 1999 to 2006. While some of its more prescient episodes tackle obvious issues (i.e. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"), other coincidences are downright bizarre (i.e. characters who bear striking similarities to Barack Obama and John McCain squaring off in a...read more
TNT's new crime drama Murder in the First marks a return to form for Steven Bochco, the creator of pioneering cop shows like NYPD Blue and L.A. Law. (No, it's not based on the 1995 movie of the same name.) Starring Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Kathleen Robertson (Boss) as homicide investigators Terry English and Hildy Mulligan, the show follows the investigation, from start to finish, into a single case — namely, a double homicide.
Bones fans will get a double dose of action this week.
The show will air a new episode on Monday (8/7c, Fox) before shifting into its new timeslot (Fridays at 8/7c) later in the week. And even though lead characters Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) recently got married, executive producer Stephen Nathan insists the show is nowhere near finished.First Look: Bones' bachelorette bash"It is a new era, but we never thought [the wedding] was the end," Nathan tells TVGuide.com...read more

Watch while in theaters! If a political candidate is personally flawed, but stands to make a positive difference in millions of lives, would you help him win? That question looms over the life of "true believer" Paul Turner (Rob Lowe), a savvy strategist sharply maneuvering politicians out of scandal and into public office. With the help of a bright young assistant (Jamie Chung) and a seedy operative (Richard Schiff), Turner spins every news cycle and a shrewd reporter (Julie Bowen) on behalf of his clients: a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormick), a blackmailed California senator (David Harbour), and an idealistic doctor turned gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss). When the ugly side of Turner's work begins to haunt him, he learns that even in the bloodiest of battles, sometimes you have to fight clean.
