SAN DIEGO PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said golf doesn’t depend solely on TV ratings, although good news never hurts.

Golf has shown some promise the first month of the year, with significant increases in viewers on The Golf Channel, which broadcast the opening three events and the first two rounds of Torrey Pines; and CBS Sports, which had the weekend at Torrey.

Even without Tiger Woods around he tied for 44th in the Farmers Insurance Open and was on the air for about 30 minutes Sunday CBS said its national rating for the final round was 3.5 with a 7 share, which was up 59 percent from a year ago.

The Golf Channel, meanwhile, said it got a 1.0 with 997,000 viewers for the first round of Torrey Pines, which was up 89 percent from last year. It said the seasonopening Hyundai Tournament of Champions was up 38 percent, and the Bob Hope Classic was up 60 percent, despite the final round going up against the NFC and AFC Championship games.

Finchem described ratings as a “unique animal,” and said golf depends on them less than other television programs. The tour over the last few years has touted “cumulative audience” because it is on TV for some six hours on the weekend.

He also mentioned that golf ratings were hurt last year by a successful Winter Olympics, Woods being out of action for the first three months of the season and having his worst year, and by the NFL having one of its best years.

“We’ll see how we perform this year,” he said last week. “We’re up a little bit early in the year, but it’s way early.”

It might have helped golf its first network coverage came on a weekend when the East Coast was buried under snow.PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. PGA Life Member William James (Bill) Powell of East Canton, Ohio, the only AfricanAmerican to build, own and operate a golf course, and a selfless ambassador for building diversity in the game, died Dec. 31 at Aultman Hospital in Canton following complications from a stroke. He was 93.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Click here to return to the home page of the 2012 Black History Month special section.

Powell had celebrated in 2009 what he recently called “the best year of my life” a season of tributes highlighted by his receiving in August the PGA Distinguished Service Award, the Association’s highest annual honor. In November, Powell was inducted into the Northern Ohio PGA Hall of Fame, was named Person of the Year by the Ohio Golf Course Owners Association, and the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce presented the Powell family its Community Salute Award.

“Bill Powell will forever be one of golf’s most unforgettable American heroes,” said PGA of America President Jim Remy. “Bill made us appreciate the game and each other that much more by his gentle, yet firm example. “He was born with a fire within his heart to build on his dream. In the process, he made golf a beacon for people of all color. The PGA of America is better today because of individuals like Bill Powell. We will miss him dearly. We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family as we remember a wonderful man.”

Powell was preceded in death by his wife, Marcella, and a son, William. He is survived by his daughter, Renee, a PGA/LPGA Professional and the second AfricanAmerican to compete on the LPGA Tour; a son, Larry, who has served for more than 30 years as superintendent at Clearview Golf Club; and twin sisters Mary Alice Walker of Akron, Ohio, and Rose Marie Mathews of Minerva, Ohio.

Funeral services for Mr. Powell will be conducted Wednesday, Jan. 6, at 11:00 a.m., at Minerva United Methodist Church in Minerva, Ohio. Friends may call Tuesday, Jan. 5, at Minerva United Methodist Church, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., and from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations should be directed to The Clearview Legacy Foundation for Education, Preservation and Research, a 501(c) 3 charitable foundation, which will help perpetuate Mr. Powell’s vision for America’s Course. The Foundation is found at P.O. Box 30196, East Canton, OH 44730,or by phone: (330) 4880404.

“I hope that I have created more awareness about what Clearview is all about,” Powell said in November following his Northern Ohio PGA Hall of Fame induction. “We have had many people come to visit us, including some from Canada. They now know who we are. I watched on TV golf being played in Shanghai, China, and I do believe that the game of golf is the best vehicle to rid hate in the world.”

The grandson of Alabama slaves, Powell earned the rank of Technical Sergeant in the U.S. Eighth Air Force Truck Battalion in World War II, and during his term of service was able to play golf throughout Great Britain.

He would return home and create Clearview Golf Club as a lasting monument to opening doors of opportunity after he had been denied so many pathways to equality throughout his life. Powell worked 18hour days to both support his family and build Clearview. Denied a G.I. Loan, Powell found funding for his dream from two AfricanAmerican physicians in Ohio, while his brother took out a second mortgage on his home.

Powell went on to carve Clearview Golf Club out of former dairy farmland in the autumn of 1946, clearing the land himself many hours by hand. In the process, Powell broke down racial barriers without fanfare by developing women and youth golf leagues. Clearview opened its initial nine holes in 1948. Powell eventually repaid his benefactors to gain full ownership, and an additional nine holes was completed in 1978.

Clearview Golf Club is on the National Register of Historic Places and nicknamed “America’s Course.” It is a piece of property, said Powell, where “the only color that matters is the color of the greens.”

During Clearview’s 50th anniversary, Powell reflected upon his creation in his 2000 autobiography, “Clearview: America’s Course.”

“I didn’t build this course for any of the recognition,” he said. “It was a labor of love. Golf is a part of society and I wanted to be included. I want you to be included, too. I’ve always felt that each individual should leave something behind of meaning. It feels good to know that I have done that with Clearview, at long last.”

Powell’s fulfillment of a dream to own his own golf course was a life’s journey that crossed racial boundaries, withstood numerous obstacles and incidents of racism since the opening of the course and throughout its operation.

Throughout his career, Powell never hesitated to share a passion and respect for golf among those who otherwise would never have had the opportunity to discover themselves.

Born Nov. 22, 1916, in Butler County, Greenville, Ala., Powell was the third child of six children of Berry and Massaleaner Powell. As the postWorld War I economy shifted, the Powell family moved in 1919 to Minerva, Ohio, where Berry Powell ended his business of owning a general store and found steady work in a pottery factory.

Bill Powell discovered a love for golf at age 9 by playing and caddying at Edgewater Golf Course. As his own game developed, Powell became a multisport athlete at Minerva High School.

Powell was one of the star football players at his high school on a 1932 Minerva team that finished the season unbeaten and unscored upon.

Powell and his friends formed a golf team and he was asked by the athletic director to serve as captain and coach. That meant Powell would schedule matches against all local schools.

Powell became a fine amateur player and was the first black to compete in a junior event at Orchard Hills Country Club (now The Fairways Golf Club) in North Canton. For two days, the 16yearold Powell hitchhiked 42 miles round trip to the course and after having led the tournament until the final few holes, he finished third.

He later attended Wilberforce University in Xenia, Ohio, where in 1937 the school’s men’s golf team traveled to face Ohio Northern University at Lost Creek Country Club in Lima, Ohio.

It was the first interracial collegiate golf match in American history, with Wilberforce returning home triumphant and also capturing the rematch.

Powell met Marcella Oliver and they were married Nov. 22, 1940, Powell’s birthday. Powell went on to serve in the U.S. Army Air Corps through the end of World War II.

He returned to Canton, Ohio, where he continued his position at Timken Company, a roller bearing and steel manufacturer, where he worked for 23 years.

Powell was the teachercoach of his daughter, Renee, who competed from 1967 to 1980 on the LPGA Tour and later served as a head professional at a golf club in England. Renee, who earned PGA of America membership in 1996, followed in her father’s footsteps as a promoter of the game and was the 2003 PGA First Lady of Golf.

“My father made a mark,” said Renee Powell. “And, I believe that God wanted people to know the mark that he made on this nation.”

In 1992, the Powells were honored by the National Golf Foundation as the Jack Nicklaus Golf Family of the Year. That same year, William was awarded the “Cornerstone of Freedom Award” from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission.

In 1996, Powell was inducted into the National Black Golf Hall of Fame and in 1997 was presented Honorary PGA membership by the Northern Ohio PGA Section. In 1999, his membership was made retroactive to Jan. 1, 1962, thus making Powell a PGA Life Member.

Powell also received honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from his alma mater, Wilberforce University, and from BaldwinWallace College in Berea, Ohio. In 1999, Powell was a national panelist invited by the Smithsonian Institution to discuss African Americans and the Game of Golf: Past, Present and Future.

Powell’s legacy in golf is enshrined by The First Tee, which has distributed more than 1,100 William J. Powell Scholarships that allow youngsters to attend The First Tee Life Skills and Leadership Academies conducted on college campuses.

At those same academies, young men vie for the Dr. William J. Powell Outstanding Male Leader Award. The scholarship has provided opportunities for participants to learn valuable character education and receive leadership instruction through workshops, career exploration seminars and golf clinics. The academies have attracted young people from more than 100 cities in 30 states, plus Ireland, New Zealand and Singapore.

Question by Michelle R: How do you hook up your surrond sound to your tv and playstation?
I just got a new Tv and new surround sound…we have an HDMI cable from the cable box to the tv then and HDMI from the surround sound, an audio cable from the surround to the cable box…the surrond works when watching tv however it doesn’t work when playing my playstation…the playstation is plugged right into the tv…I tried putting the playstation into the surround and the audio wires into the tv but then it only works for the playstation and not when watching tv…anyone know what i’m doing wrong?

Best answer:

Answer by imgettingaferrari
well this is one of those complicated things you got be there to walk through. i would recommend going to sears or wherever you bought it and ask someone to show you how to connect them all together.

i would bring your manual with you so they can draw arrows and label where each cord should go.

your playstation should be fine if its connected thru the tv and the tv is connected to HTiB (home theater in a box) and make sure you have it on the right channel and you have the audio cords going “in” to the tv on an rca jack(red, white, yellow cord) it should work if the tv does. if the regular tv works when its on cable/satelite/etc then you know that whatever sound is coming thru the tv is going to the HTiB.

so double chk where you are connecting your playstation to.
i think it should be connected to an “in” jack

if that doesnt work chk with your local sears or radioshack and find a “techie” guy who knows a lot about this stuff and can write it down in your manual.

When it comes to gaming through your TV rather than your PC, user expectations of sound and picture quality are higher than ever before and manufacturers of LCD and LED TVs are aware that they must deliver on both of these things if they are to be the number one choice in such a competitive market; so which type of television is better for gaming, LCD or LED?

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TVs are crystal clear thanks to their high resolution and those models which use an analogue input can be adjusted to the correct pixilation for the game you are playing or the DVD or Blu-Ray player which you are connecting to and playing films through. The high intensity of light produced using this technology makes for particularly bright images, which are effective in all light conditions but really come into their own in brightly lit rooms, a condition which can wash out images on standard CRT televisions.

As well as being brighter than CRT TVs, LCD TVs and LED TVs are both easier to watch and reduce the instances of eyestrain and resulting headaches thanks to screens that don’t flicker. Choosing a quality television, such as a Samsung LCD TV, means that you will be able to watch television from almost anywhere in your room, as the screen can be viewed at up to a 160 degree angle, or 80 degrees either way from the centre point of the screen.

LED TVs are reliant on the LCD TV technology; LCD TVs are now available with LED backlighting which makes for an even clearer and crisper image as well as better blacks, which in turn mean better overall contrast. LCD TVs used to bow to the Plasma TV’s superior viewing angle, but these days high quality models are virtually comparable and no longer present a barrier to purchase either for gaming or viewing purposes.

Samsung LED TVs have been hailed as some of the best affordable LED TVs on the market at the moment, with a better HD (High Definition) picture than many in the same price bracket, a better range of blacks and therefore better contrast and finally, better picture quality at acute viewing angles. When it comes to gaming, you want a large screen and viewing range, good quality sound output and high definition picture, high contrast between blacks and colours and a bright screen that allows for a good quality image in both bright lit rooms and dark rooms. LED TVs are probably on a par with LCD TVs for all of these requirements except one; a good quality LED TV will likely surpass a standard LCD TV in terms of brightness of image thanks to the hundreds of LEDs used to backlight the screen.

Choose an LED TV from Panasonic or a Samsung LCD TV online and get the best gaming experience for the best price.

Radio Caroline was a radio station that began broadcasting in the 60s, to get round the UKs ban on commercial radio and the BBC monopoly the station broadcast from a ship three miles from the coast, there it could make programmes and broadcast commercials and make lots of money without any restrictions. Because of this "pirate" identity and continuous pop music format it became very popular, the government objected and after a few years pirate radio was outlawed, under difficult conditions Caroline carried on, eventually after a few maritime disasters the station no longer broadcasts from the high seas, you can hear them via satellite channels and on the internet.
