From Winston Groom, the best-selling author of Forrest Gump, Shiloh 1862, and Vicksburg 1863, comes the fascinating story of three extraordinary heroes who defined aviation during the great age of flight. These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival-at-sea, and will appeal to fans of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation, and James Bradley's Flyboys.
With the world in peril in World War II, each of the men profiled here set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet: Jimmy Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the daring Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor. Charles Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific. And Eddie Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom's rich narrative tells their intertwined storiesfrom broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive it), barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II, front-page triumph to anguished tragedy, and near-death to ultimate survivalas all took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the "greatest generation."
Winston Groom is the author of 14 previous books of nonfiction and fiction, including Shiloh 1862, Vicksburg 1863, Patriotic Fire, Shrouds of Glory, Forrest Gump, and Conversations with the Enemy (with Duncan Spencer), which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He lives with his wife and daughter in Point Clear, Alabama.

Town Move for Barnett
Monday, 19th Nov 2012 11:02
Town are understood to have agreed to sign Peterborough United striker Tyrone Barnett on loan. The 27-year-old, who TWTD revealed was a Blues target when with Crawley last January, is set to put pen to paper on a one-month deal having been transfer-listed by Posh last week after a breach of club discipline.
A number of Championship clubs, including Birmingham, Barnsley and Brighton, are also believed to have been interested in the frontman.
Barnett was a youth player with West Brom before dropping into non-league with Rushall Olympic, Telford, Willenhall Town and Hednesford. He broke into the Football League with Macclesfield in the summer of 2010.
After 13 goals in 50 starts and one sub appearance in his only season with the Silkmen, the 6ft 3in tall frontman moved on to Crawley for £150,000 the following summer.
Impressive displays for the Red Devils attracted plenty of interest with the likes of Fulham, Wigan and Stoke all reported to be keeping an eye before Christmas. Blackpool agreed a fee approaching £1 million before the deal broke down.
Barnett subsequently joined Posh, initially on loan, for a similar fee in February, signing a deal until 2015. He scored in the Blues' 3-2 victory over Peterborough at Portman Road last season as he netted 19 goals over the campaign, 15 of them for Crawley. This year he has scored just once in nine starts and one substitute appearance.
The striker, club captain Gaby Zakuani, Emile Sinclair and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing were all transfer-listed and fined last week after an incident outside a nightclub in Peterborough city centre in the early hours of last Sunday morning. Zakuani and Sinclair have subsequently been taken off the list and have had their fines rescinded.
The move for Barnett is unlikely to be a signal that QPR are planning to recall DJ Campbell with the Loftus Road club unlikely to get permission to draft an additional player into their 25-man Premier League squad despite Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora suffering injuries.
Football League clubs are entitled to bring players in on loan until Thursday with manager Mick McCarthy indicating on Saturday that he might enter the market before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has joined Charlton on loan for a month. Last week McCarthy dismissed claims that the Blues had made a move for the 20-year-old, who briefly played for him at Wolves.
Get two free £10 bets on Charlton Athletic v Ipswich Town (or other matches) by opening a new account at William Hill. Place an initial bet of a minimum of £10 and William Hill will give you two £10 bets. You must enter the promotional code "F20" when signing up as a new customer.

Bhutan: small kingdom with big diplomacy
Publication Date : 21-07-2014
Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to this tiny kingdom and made a good impression of continued friendship and assistance even though he mistook the host's name as Nepal and Ladakh during his speech in the Parliament. Modi's visit highlighted Bhutan's geostrategic location at the roof of the world. Apart from India, major powers such as China, the US and EU are closely watching.
Of all its neighboring countries, India has the best relationship with Bhutan. After all, successive Indian governments have provided all sorts of assistance and subsidies to the land-locked nation. In more ways than one, Bhutan's economic livelihood depends very much on India's generosity.
India's relations with other South Asian countries including Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives are still problematic. For now, only Bangladesh has amicable relations with New Delhi.
For Modi, the trip to Bhutan had two purposes. First, to give further assurance to Prime Minister Tsering Tobgay that India will continue to provide assistance and remain a strategic partner. It was no secret that India was the big supporter of Tobgay.
Secondly, it sent a strong signal that any diplomatic initiative that would undermine the status quo of India-Bhutan relations would not be tolerated. Former prime minister Jigmi Thinley, the kingdom's first prime minister, wanted very much to expand Bhutan's diplomatic horizon and lift its international profile.
Bhutan bravely applied for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council last year, competing head on with South Korea, which prevailed. The kingdom also wants to join the World Trade Organisation and transform the country into a financial hub. Now, Bhutan has diplomatic relations with 52 countries around the world. Only India, Bangladesh and Kuwait have established embassies in Thimphu. Yet, it does not have any link with China.
During the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in June 2011, Thinley met informally with the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, without a prior consultation with India which immediately stirred anger in New Delhi. China and Bhutan are currently demarcating their 406 kilometre common border.
Ahead of the election last May, India drastically cut fuel subsidies, which affected the daily livelihood of Bhutanese and generated fear here that India would reduce its assistance in the future. Consequently, voters turned around and backed Tobgay's People's Democratic Party in a landslide victory.
With Modi's visit, it is clear that Bhutan will be more cautious in moving closer to the north or for that matter taking any new diplomatic move. As far as the major powers - India and China - are concerned, Bhutan's diplomatic tenet remains: Best friend with India, no enemy with China.
The new Bhutanese government will focus on domestic issues, especially in fulfilling noble objectives from the Gross National Happiness policy. From 2012, Bhutan was headlined for its effort to promote a new development paradigm based on more holistic approaches and the concept of happiness, instead of material belongings and other criteria that are common indicators for "well-being".
Indeed, the United Nations was so impressed with Bhutan's inclusive growth model that it assigned March 20 as International Day of Happiness in 2012. That also explains why Bhutan engages actively with all UN-related agencies. Thimphu is a member of the South Asia Association of Regional Cooperation and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation.
However, given the fast changing strategic landscape in Asia, Bhutan is facing a huge dilemma on whether to maintain the current state of affairs or expand its diplomatic space discreetly, but not as assertively as the previous government did, with the outside world.
One option is to adopt a third country policy by strengthening a link with a major power near or far that can serve as a countervailing force with existing powers at home. Over here, Mongolia's foreign policy was often mentioned as a case study. Balancing between China and Russia, Mongolia has approached South Korea as a third country to weigh in with these two powers. Now Seoul is Ulaanbaatar's major trading partner and yields influence in its future direction.
In the case of Bhutan, Japan and South Korea come to mind. Both have been providing technical know-how and other capacity-building. Japan, in particular, ranks only after India in providing economic assistance to Bhutan. Last year, Japan was close to setting up an embassy in Thimphu. However, the scheme was delayed.

Ducks Slumping
01/20/07 at 11:29 AM ET | Comments (0)
from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald,
So, as the terminally dim Fred Willard asked memorably in A Mighty Wind: "Wha' haaaapened?''
Well, a broken foot happened to Pronger.
A pulled groin happened to J.S. Giguere.
A lacerated spleen happened to Francois Beauchemin.
A case of the Cloutiers caught Ilya Bryzgalov, who went from the happy-go-lucky feel-good underdog to Napoleon Dynamite flailing at a tether ball.
And, presto-chango!, from God-like to dog-like. From closers to hosers. The Anaheim Ducks. A case study in recent disintegration.

Waking Up Zherdev

Blue Jackets right winger Nikolai Zherdev was a healthy scratch last night against the Detroit Red Wings.
Coach Ken Hitchcock, a night after a closed-door meeting in Nashville, was sending a message to the 22-year-old.
"Accountability is accountability," Hitchcock said. "I didn't invent the game, but I know what I know as far as playing the game the right way. The key point here is to play the game the right way."

For a masked man, his face is as familiar as the CH: With Patrick Roy, we feel that we know every tic, every flick of the mask, every weird little ritual, every controversy.
You know you're a legend when you are famous, at least in part, for gestures that would be forgotten in lesser mortals.
With Patrick Roy, it's The Wink, The Tantrum and The Flip. With Roy, the statistics and the achievements are familiar and beyond argument.

Look To Crosby
01/20/07 at 10:36 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
As Michael Farber writes in the Jan. 22 edition of Sports Illustrated, Crosby isn't just the Penguins' franchise player. He's the league's franchise player.
There's no question that next week's all-star proceedings in Dallas are being conducted with Crosby front-and-centre. Indeed, when pictures of the new NHL uniforms started leaking out earlier this week, they were photos of Crosby in the supposedly "faster" garb.
Two books on the young man are currently in circulation. When NBC began its truncated broadcasting schedule of NHL games, it was with Crosby front-and-centre.
The fact that the pride of Cole Harbour, N.S., grabbed the NHL scoring lead before Christmas and hasn't let go has elevated his reputation beyond that of talented youngster to dominant player.

The Right Decision
01/19/07 at 09:26 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the Daily Telegraph,
Arsene Wenger was at a business conference one day when somebody asked him to explain what made Cesc Fabregas so good. The Arsenal manager recalled the time some ice hockey coaches studied Wayne Gretzky, the iconic National Hockey League player of the Seventies and Eighties.
The exercise was simple: pause a videotape of Gretzky with the puck at his feet. It could be in any given situation, anywhere on the ice. In an ideal world, what should the Canadian do? Which move would serve the team best?
And what do you know, once the tape was moved on, Gretzky usually did for real what the coaches had chosen. In other words, the secret of his success, what made him great, was basically down to sound decision-making.

Ready To Hate The Oil Again?

01/19/07 at 08:05 PM ET | Comments (0)
Oh, just you wait. Just you wait until you read this. Thanks to Jes Golbez for the pointer, and we'll be back to him...oh yes we will. The Oil are retiring Mark Me Messier's number. Glory. Have at it. But, in the process, Oil management has decided to slam the Wings and, by God, The Captain. Via TSN.
"The (pre-game) ceremonies can get long and arduous as they were with Stevie Y (Steve Yzerman)" Oiler president Patrick LaForge told reporters Wednesday. Yzerman's No. 19 jersey was retired Jan. 2 in a 90-minute ceremony prior to the Detroit Red Wings' game against the Anaheim Ducks. "There was no opportunity for fans there to reach out to Stevie, and we want to do that here and we want to do it with Mark. "He's a native son and an Edmonton boy and he wants this."Eat it Pat. So he's an Edmonton boy and he wants this. Well, I'm a Saginaw boy and here's what I want.

Lucky Luc's #20 Heads To Rafters On Saturday

from the CP via TSN:
Luc Robitaille predicts the tears might be flowing come Saturday night when his No. 20 goes up to the rafters at the Staples Center.
But on the eve of his jersey retirement with the Los Angeles Kings, the former all-star winger was all laughs as he fondly recalled 19 years in the NHL, 14 of them in L.A.
He vividly recalled his reaction after the Kings drafted him in 1984.
"I remember looking at a map and seeing how far L.A. was from where I was born," the Montreal native said Friday.

All Sid
01/19/07 at 06:08 PM ET | Comments (0)
Sidney Crosby took part in an NHL tele-conference today…
Q. What's it going to be like playing on a line with Alexander Ovechkin, and there's been a lot of discussion about the All-Star Game, that there's too many goals and there's not a competitive enough game, and whether there should be more young players in the game who might have more competitive fire because they have not been in the game before. Can you answer those questions, please?
SIDNEY CROSBY: Well, playing with Ovechkin is going to be a lot of fun. Obviously to play with a guy who shoots the puck like that, you want to get it to him. I think I'll be doing my best to try to feed him the puck and let him rip it.
As far as competitiveness in the All-Star Game, I mean, I think it's fun for everyone to see a lot of nice goals and I think the more goals, the better. So you know, it's a game that's full of a lot of skill and as a fan you want to see that. You want to see guys have fun out there and be creative, and I think that's really the whole point of it.

JDunc, frequent A2Y reader and KK forum poster, turned us on to the fact that Zetterberg's been replaced in the all star lineup. Paul posted the NHL news release. The diggers have zip. No stories. No blog entries. No initiative. No worries. Khan(!) does report that Chris Osgood has the flu and won't start tonite.
Chris Osgood missed Friday's morning skate in Columbus because of the flu, but coach Mike Babcock said Osgood is still expected to back-up Dominik Hasek in tonight's game. Osgood was scheduled to start Saturday in Colorado, but if he can't play, Babcock said the club would recall Joey MacDonald from Grand Rapids (the Griffins are in Hamilton tonight and Saturday), where he was assigned last week on a 14-day conditioning stint.Meanwhile, the team's co-most-valuable Swede is....what? Hurt? Tired? Kidding?

Pomegranate Wine 2
34 pomegranates
2 pounds of raisins
2 pkgs of frozen Blueberries
10 pounds of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of acid blend
1 teaspoon of pectic enzyme
1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient
5 campden tablet
1 package of wine yeast
Add water to top off
Split open the pomegranates and remove the seeds. Pour all of the seeds into a bowl. Throw out the pith and skins Use a food processer then skim the top to remove to pith.
Crush the pomegranate seeds in the bowl thoroughly.
Add all of the other ingredients to the pomegranate except the yeast.
Stir well to dissolve the sugar, and let it sit overnight. The specific gravity should be between 1.090 and 1.095.
Sprinkle yeast over the pomegranate mixture.
Stir daily for 5 or 6 days, or until the specific gravity is around 1.050.
Strain the must out and squeeze the juice lightly so that too much tannin does not escape from the seeds. Siphon into a secondary fermenter and attach an airlock.
For dry wine, rack the mixture for three weeks, and every three months for one year and then bottle. For a sweet wine, rack for three weeks. Add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup wine. Stir gently, and place back into secondary fermentor. Repeat process every six weeks until fermentation does not restart with the addition of sugar. Rack every three months until one year old. Bottle.
The wine may taste best if you store it for one year without drinking it.
Do not get any of the pith or skin into the wine.
I have made this 3 years in a row. You will need to add sugar after finishing and before bottling as this is to be a sweeter wine.
You crush and use the seeds?
Correct seeds only
Would that be seeds with pulp/fruit attached?
No pulp that will cause the wine to take on a bitter taste. Just the seeds themselves (crushed). I pulsed the seeds in a food processor. Just enough to break them apart. I wear gloves to pull out the seeds because they will stain your hands for days and squirt all over the place.
Ok, no fruit pulp, just the seeds. And the seeds, that is the seed with the "fruit" encasing the seed, and the pit itself?
Why not squeeze the juice from the pomegranate (like with an orange juice squeezer)?
I followed your recipe and I pitched the yeast today. I see no sign of fermentation. This is my first time making a wine. Is this to be expected?
Lately I got curious in eighter doing pomegranate wine or mead....
What is total weigh of used pomegranates? Or how large those pomegranates you used?
I used 4 quarts of pomegranate juice and seemed to come out all right.

Harlem starts off baseball season strong
By Matt Nestor
Sports Columnist
Going into the start of the season, Harlem baseball coach Doug Livingston was worried about how his offense would perform once they got onto the field.
"We're not going to have a lot of pop in our lineup," Livingston said. "We're going to be base to base a lot this year."
The Huskies went base to base a lot in the first week of the season, racking up three victories and scoring a lot of runs in the process to get off to a good start to the baseball season.
The Huskies started off the week with a 6-3 victory over North Boone. They followed that up with a tough Byron team that defeated them last year.
The first inning got off to a great start for the Huskies. Bryon walked the leadoff hitter, gave up a single, and walked two more batters to walk in the first run.
After switching pitchers, Bryon still had trouble finding home plate, walking in another run and allowing a third early run on a groundout to first. Harlem ran themselves out of the inning on a failed suicide squeeze play, but they added to the early lead before pulling off a 16-6 victory.
The week was closed out with a 9-6 victory over Bartonville Limestone.
While the pitching was not up to the standards the Huskies hope to keep for most of the season, the offense was more than enough as they averaged 10 runs a game in their first three wins.

Man robbed while saving other man from drowning
An American tourist in Ireland said he was robbed while rescuing a man from drowning.
Joe Sheehan, 20, from Nebraska, told the Irish Independent that when he saw a man in trouble in the river, he emptied his pockets and went to the man's aid.
"I was just standing on the bridge and watching. His head started to go under so I ran around to the side and took everything out of my pockets, took my trousers and shirt off," Sheehan told the paper .
Sheehan, a trained lifeguard, was able to pull the man from the river, but when he returned to shore, his wallet and cellphone were gone.
"I'm standing there in my underwear, just soaking wet, and I literally have nothing now," he said.
A spokeswoman for police said the theft is under investigation.

last night! He had went to his friend's house, 3 houses away. He came back about an hour later and asked if he could spend the night there. The boys were in and out a couple times getting all his stuff and finally he was there for the night,(we thought!) DH and I went to bed around midnight and at 1AM, we were woken up by someone pounding on the front door. It was DS!!!! He had woken up and felt sick at his stomach so he woke his friend and told him that he was coming home. They didn't wake his parents or anything, He just walked home. Granted it isn't very far but what if someone had come along just then and grabbed him??!! Or, if the police cruised thru and saw him out, curfew violation, we all could have been in trouble! Poor kid, he didn't feel well and just wanted to come home but it really freaked us out! We told him that if it ever happened again to wake the parents and have one of them walk him home. What really gets me is that they never even checked on him today to see if he was ok or anything. If I had an child in my house when I went to bed and that child was gone the next morning,I would da** well be sure that they had gotten home ok and apologized profusely. I'm thinking that he won't be spending the night down there anymore!!! I'll let the boy come here but my son isn't staying there! What would they have done if he had gotten snatched last night? Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid but it's a reality of the world we live in!!
Dawn, who's DS is asleep in his own home tonight!!!

brand strategy
Posted by Sheila Shayon on July 11, 2013 03:17 PM
Microsoft announced Thursday a company-wide reorganization—its latest effort to revitalize the struggling brand. In an email to all employees, CEO Steve Ballmer said:
"Today, we are announcing a far-reaching realignment of the company that will enable us to innovate with greater speed, efficiency and capability in a fast changing world. Today's announcement will enable us to execute even better on our strategy to deliver a family of devices and services that best empower people for the activities they value most and the enterprise extensions and services that are most valuable to business."
While the realignment involves no major departures or promotions for current executives, it does dissolve the company's current business units and reorganizes them into four divisions: Operating Systems, Applications and Services, Cloud and Enterprise, and Devices and Studios. The move places the company's three operating systems into one division, and stretches marketing and business strategy into a unified, cross-company group.Continue reading...

brand challenges
Posted by Barry Silverstein on July 10, 2013 05:42 PM
On the heels of its Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is likely to announce a major restructuring on July 11 "around services—or software—and devices, both in the consumer and business sectors," according to AllThingsD. However, it is "not clear how the new organization will enable Microsoft to move faster at innovation, especially against more nimble rivals such as Google." An "insider" warned, "If this is all about an org chart and not how to build great products, it does not matter what org chart Ballmer presents. Consumers buy products, not a management structure."
This raises a disturbing question: Is Steve Ballmer simply moving the proverbial deck chairs around on the Titanic? When one looks at Microsoft's history of lukewarm if not downright disappointing products, it does at times appear that the software giant is about to sink rather than swim.
It may in fact be a systemic problem. Microsoft has long been a company known as much by the company it keeps, relying on mostly hardware partners to, in effect, resell its software. But as the Wall Street Journal points out, "Microsoft keeps hitching its fortunes to lame horses." The company has long dominatd the PC market with its software, however the resurgence of Mac and other operating systems has moved the market in a different direction. "For its long-term health, Microsoft needs to find success selling software for the most popular types of computers. That means smartphones and, increasingly, tablets. It's difficulty doing that, or attracting partners that aren't in desperate need of their own help, bodes ill for its future."Continue reading...

William Lynch Jr., CEO of Barnes & Noble, resigned Monday after a demoralizing earnings report that underscored the brand's losing Nook battle against rivals in the e-reader market, with Amazon's Kindle Fire and Apple's iPad topping the list.
In its latest earnings report, the company reported a $118.6 million loss for its fiscal fourth quarter, with revenue from e-books dropping 9 percent. The report was the final nail in the coffin for the flaundering Nook brand, which, despite positive reviews and quality products, has ended up on the losing side of the ongoing e-reader and tablet wars. In late June, the company announced that it would no longer manufacture its Nook HD color tablets in-house, instead signing off the product to third party production. It will, however, continue to manufacture and market its black and white Nook e-readers.
The abrupt departure of Lynch, who assumed the CEO role in 2010 after being president of BarnesandNoble.com, could be the latest indicator that the company is abandoning its digital efforts and preparing to sell off individual units. Continue reading...

We may be witnessing a classic story of a me-too brand that just couldn't rise to the occasion. In a marketplace currently glutted with tablets, bookseller Barnes & Noble raised the "white flag, signaling that it cannot compete" with the likes of Amazon, Apple, and Samsung, reports The New York Times.
Barnes & Noble CEO William J. Lynch, Jr. saw it a bit differently, telling analysts, "Our aim is to sell great tablets connected to our best content catalog and high-quality bookstore services we've done, but do so without the sizable upfront risk." He added that "we are 100 percent not exiting the device business," but note the use of the word "device."
The fact is, B&N will no longer make its own Nook Color tablets, relying instead on other companies to license and manufacture them. The company does plan to continue to make its black-and-white eReader—but that's largely being regarded as a defensive move. B&N will continue to sell Nook Color devices through the end of 2013 but then partners will begin producing them.Continue reading...

Shares of Barnes & Noble soared 24 percent after it was reported Thursday that Microsoft is considering a bid for the retailer's Nook e-book business.
Microsoft is reportedly offering $1 billion for the Nook brand and the digital assets of Nook Media on top of their $300 million investment last year to develop Nook content for Windows 8 tablets. "Our complementary assets will accelerate e-reading innovation across a broad range of Windows devices, enabling people to not just read stories, but to be part of them," said Microsoft president Andy Lees at the time. "We're on the cusp of a revolution in reading."
But the revolution stalled as the Android-based Nook has been a money-loser for B&N, not helping America's biggest bookseller compete against Amazon's Kindle e-book reader.Continue reading...

Ryder Cup looms large for Mickelson at Valhalla
LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) – Phil Mickelson, who has endured a disappointing season by his usual lofty standards, will have the Ryder Cup in mind while he competes in this week's PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.
The American left-hander is not assured of a place in Tom Watson's team to take on Europe in Gleneagles, Scotland from Sept. 26-28 and he needs to climb into the top nine in the U.S. point standings by Sunday to earn automatic selection.
Contending is not enough for title hungry Scott
LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) – It has been a case of so close and yet so far for Adam Scott this year as he has, for the most part, produced "really solid golf" without being rewarded with tournament wins.
The Australian, who lost his world number one ranking to Rory McIlroy after last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio, has triumphed just once on the 2013-14 PGA Tour while racking up eight top-10s in 12 starts.
Ultra confident McIlroy wary of 'Rory era' talk
LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) – With his confidence sky-high and his golf "in really good shape", Rory McIlroy says he has never driven the ball better as he heads into this week's PGA Championship fresh from wins in his last two tournaments.
The Northern Irishman clinched his third career major in wire-to-wire fashion at last month's British Open, then landed his first World Golf Championships (WGC) title at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday.
Vivid Tiger memories of last Valhalla PGA Championship
(Reuters) – It has been 14 years since Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship when it was last held at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky but the memories of his epic battle with Bob May over the closing stretch remain sharply etched in his mind.
Woods and American journeyman May matched one another shot for shot in a thrilling duel on the back nine before Woods clinched his fifth major title, and third in a row, in a three-hole playoff.
Preview – New order likely to hold sway at Valhalla
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
(Reuters) – This week's PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky is likely to deliver further confirmation that a new world order is establishing itself in the game with players such as Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott now leading the way.
While Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Vijay Singh have been golf's dominant figures over the past two decades, the present and immediate future appears to belong to McIlroy, Scott, Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer and other 'young guns'.

Lakers appoint Scott as head coach
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The Los Angeles Lakers appointed former player Byron Scott as their new head coach on Monday, bringing an end to their "extensive and thorough" search for Mike D'Antoni's replacement.
Scott, 53, was a three-time NBA champion with the Lakers during their triumphant 'Showtime' era in the 1980s and has worked as a head coach in the league for 13 years, most recently with the Cleveland Cavaliers
Lakers close to naming Scott as coach: reports
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Three months after coach Mike D'Antoni resigned, the struggling Los Angeles Lakers are expected to offer former player Byron Scott the job, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
According to ESPN and the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers have begun contract negotiations with Scott and are likely to reach an agreement within the next few days.
Kaymer's composure a major trump card, says Levet
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Coolness under pressure, a strong work ethic and never-say-die attitude makes Germany's Martin Kaymer one of the favorites for this month's British Open, according to Frenchman Thomas Levet.
Kaymer will go into the year's third major at Hoylake with his status considerably elevated after his remarkable eight-shot victory at the Pinehurst U.S. Open last month but it is his unflappable temperament that stands out most of all for Levet.
'Germanator' Kaymer adds luster to already lofty status
PINEHURST North Carolina (Reuters) – Martin Kaymer's astonishing dominance at the U.S. Open, on a challenging Pinehurst layout where only two other players finished under par, left his rivals purring in admiration.
More significantly, the German's eight-stroke victory at the year's second major has elevated him into elite company, and one can only wonder how much more the ultra-talented, hard-working Kaymer will achieve by the time his career is over.
