If Emma Robinson wants to go for four-straight Florence Pax-ton Memorial Ladies Sun golf championships, she’ll have to go through friend and teammate, April Butler, fi rst.

Butler carded an opening-round 3-over-par 74 to take the lead in the championship divi-sion Monday at Paxton Park Golf Course, carrying a three-shot lead over Robinson. The two Western Kentucky University golfers said the 58th annual event felt more like team qualifying matches in Bowling Green to determine who gets to play in weekend tourna-ments. The pair even shared a golf cart throughout the day.

The Ladies Sun tournament continues today at Rolling Hills Country Club. It concludes Wednesday at the Country Club of Paducah. MaKenzye Rouse card-ed a 79 Monday in the champion-ship fl ight, followed by McLane Farr’s 81 and an 84 from Ashlyn Bechtold, also a WKU golfer.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jimmie Johnson won his fourth Brickyard 400 and solidifi ed his status as a title favorite in NASCAR.

Impressive? You bet.Surprising? Not really.But how about this: Dale Earn-

hardt Jr. left the Indianapolis Mo-tor Speedway with the Sprint Cup Series points lead.

Earnhardt fi nished fourth on Sunday, his best career fi nish at a track where he often struggles. Earnhardt took a 14-point lead over previous points leader Matt Kenseth, who got caught in a crash. It was another sign of Earn-hardt’s new consistency, the kind of development that could turn the streaky driver with a famous last name into a real champion-ship contender.

“That is symbolic of how well we’ve done,” Earnhardt said. “I’m proud of that. I have felt that way about our position in points all season long. We need to win more

races. If we want to win the cham-pionship, we have to. I imagine we can win a couple races in Chase. I don’t know if fi nishing fourth or fi fth is going to do it. We’ll just have to see. We’d like to step it up just a little bit more.”

And if it comes down to Hen-drick Motorsports teammates Johnson and Earnhardt duking it out for the title at the end of the season, both drivers say bring it on.

“We would actually rather us two to fi ght for the championship at the end knowing one of us is going to get it for the company,” Earnhardt said. “If I could line that up right now, I would. That is how I’d have it.”

Johnson said team owner Rick Hendrick has formed such a strong organization that hav-ing multiple teams racing for the championship doesn’t cause any drama between the drivers or crews.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Cam Newton is everywhere these days.

If he’s not fl ying through your television set on “Cam’s Night Out” hawking Under Armour gear or sucking down Gatorade and “Winning the Fifth Quar-ter,” chances are you’ve seen the 23-year-old quarterback featured prominently by the NFL in adver-tisements for its upcoming pre-season games.

He’s featured in the intro to ESPN SportsCenter.

And, if not for Calvin Johnson, he’d be on the cover of Madden NFL 13, too.

In just 15 months Newton has developed into a national celeb-rity unlike anything the Panthers have seen since they began play in 1995.

Charismatic, built like a Greek god and, above all, incredibly talented, Newton has taken the country by storm since being drafted No. 1 overall last year. As Panthers teammate Jon Bea-son said, Newton has become “a mega-superstar.”

Steve Smith? Julius Peppers? Sam Mills?

All great players for the Pan-thers over the years, but none has come close to grabbing the national spotlight as Newton has after a record-setting season in which he combined for 35 touch-downs and became the fi rst rook-ie to throw for more than 4,000 yards.

“We haven’t had a guy who gets this much attention — ever,” said offensive tackle Jordan Gross, now in his 10th season with the

LONDON — Missy Franklin stared out on the horde of re-porters, suddenly sounding very much like a high school senior-to-be. “I don’t like being up here alone,” she said nervously.

Then, just like that, she turned on a big smile and worked the room like a pro.

Thanks to this Colorado teen-ager, America’s swim hopes are back on track at the Olympics.

Michael Phelps has yet to win a gold medal, and Ryan Lochte’s star has dimmed just a bit. So it was Franklin providing a much-needed boost to swimming’s

powerhouse nation, coming back less than 14 minutes after swim-ming a semifi nal heat to win the fi rst gold medal of what fi gures to be a dazzling career.

“Indescribable,” the 17-year-old Franklin said after rallying to win the 100-meter backstroke

Monday. “I still can’t believe that happened. I don’t even know what to think. I saw my parents’ reaction on the screen and I just started bawling. I can’t even think right now.”

After fi nishing up the semis of the 200 freestyle, she hopped out of the pool and headed to the div-ing well for a quick warmdown. She didn’t even have time to make it to the practice pool, not when her bigger event was com-ing right up.

Even Phelps was amazed at Franklin’s stamina, saying he had never done back-to-back races that close together at such a major meet. His quickest turn-

around was about a half-hour.“She’s a racer and she knows

what to do,” Phelps said.Matt Grevers kept the gold

medals coming for the U.S. in rat-a-tat fashion, following up Franklin’s win with one of his own in the men’s 100 back. For good measure, Nick Thoman made it a 1-2 fi nish for the red, white and blue.

Rebecca Soni nearly pulled out a third U.S. gold, rallying furi-ously on the return leg of the 100 breaststroke. But she couldn’t quite catch blazing Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte, a gold medalist

Panthers.When asked about New-

ton’s impact on the Pan-thers, teammate Charles Johnson laughed and said, “Can’t you tell? Just like when he walked on to the practice fi eld (Sunday) night.”

Newton did so to a rock star’s welcome, entering Wofford College’s Gibbs Stadium for the fi rst train-ing camp practice before a fi red-up crowd of 12,871. Fans wearing his No. 1 jer-sey were everywhere, far outnumbering any other member of the team.

It was the largest crowd ever assembled for a single practice in the 18 summers the Panthers have spent in Spartanburg, according to team spokesman Charlie Dayton.

Call it the Cam factor.And Newton, who has

a fl are for showmanship, didn’t shy away from atten-tion.

He raced up the fi eld for a 25-yard gain on a play-action fake, veered out of bounds and ran along the inside wall of the stadium pumping his left fi st at fans.

They roared with delight.After practice, Newton

had a little fun with fans, pretending fi rst to run to one side of the fi eld and then the other. Every time he changed directions, fans cheered, each side pleading with him to come over to sign autographs.

“He’s become the face of this team,” Johnson said. “He’s a monster out on the fi eld. I’m glad he’s on our team.”

So are the Panthers.Not only do they appear

to have a legit star quarter-back for the fi rst time in 18 seasons, they have an iden-tity.

“It’s great,” Johnson said. “What it does especially for our company, it far exceeds any type of competitive spirit that exists. And from a technical standpoint, we all go to the racetrack with the same equipment. No one gets favorites.”

Hendrick has been through it before, and doesn’t expect any issues.

“And these guys are shar-ing so much information, and I’m beyond that ner-vousness trying to get the teams together and say, ‘Look, what got us here is working together and shar-ing information,’” Hendrick said. “I think by having those two cars where they are in the points will make us, give us a better shot. ... A lot of organizations, it tears them down when they have that kind of competition. I think it makes us stronger.”

All four Hendrick Motors-ports teams share technical information, but Hendrick has divided them into pairs. Johnson’s No. 48 team and Earnhardt’s No. 88 team work together in one shop, while Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 team and Kasey Kahne’s No. 5 team work in another.

Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus hailed the de-veloping chemistry of Earn-hardt and his crew chief, Steve Letarte.

“Stevie and Junior have really brought a lot to the table,” Johnson said. “I have to say, from Pocono to now, the stuff that Ju-nior has liked in the car and what he’s felt has opened up doors for us to pursue and a road for us to go down where we’ve made our stuff better. There’s a lot of confi -dence in our shop with both teams, and the communica-tion is as good as it’s ever been.”

TAMPA, Fla. — Tennessee Titans reserve receiver O.J. Murdock has died of an apparent suicide, Tampa police say.

Police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said officers found the 25-year-old Murdock inside his car Monday morning with what appeared to be self-inflicted gun-shot wounds. The car was parked in front of Middle-ton High School, where Murdock attended school.

He was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he later died.

Murdock did not report to training camp over the weekend because of what the team said at the time was a personal issue.

As a senior at Division II Fort Hays State in Kansas in 2010, he had 60 catches for 1,290 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Titans player dies in apparent suicide

— Associated Press

Butler had one birdie and four bogeys on the day, in-cluding two on the front nine holes.

“I scrambled well,” said Butler, a Paducah Tilghman graduate and last year’s ju-nior division winner. “I hit very few greens. I think I hit three greens on the front, and I was getting up and down, luckily, so my chip-ping was pretty good, which I’ve worked on.”

Robinson, who will be a senior at WKU, called her title defense performance “not very good,” but noted that she and Butler have taken plenty of time off this summer from competitive outings, choosing instead to focus on practice.

“I still have two more days,” Robinson said. “To-morrow, we’re playing on my home course, so maybe I can make some more putts. I didn’t make any putts to-day. They were tough.”

The college golfers are

teeing off from the red women’s tees like everyone else in the 44-player fi eld, noting the yardage is short-ened by about a thousand yards compared to typical college competitions.

Junior golfer Anna Hack, who just transferred from Lone Oak to Calloway County where she won the Green County Invitational

on Saturday, shot a tour-nament-best even-par 71 in the juniors division.

“I feel like I played OK,” said Hack, who missed last year’s Ladies Sun. “I didn’t have any great shots or great putts.”

NICHOLASVILLE — Mat-thew Zakutney shot a 1-over-par 73 to tie for fi fth place in the 63-player fi eld, leading St. Mary’s team to a third-place fi nish among a dozen teams at the Preview Tournament at Champions Trace Golf Club on Monday.

Tournament host West Jessamine, considered among the favorites to chal-lenge for the state title, won the tournament with an even-par 288, with Louis-ville St. Xavier in second place at 306 and the Vi-kings at 312, six shots ahead of Covington Catholic and seven ahead of Ryle and Madison Central.

St. Mary’s Seth Powell shot a 75 and fi nished in

eighth place, with team-mate Joey Mayo’s 77 good enough for 12th place. Owen Workman shot an 87 and Wes Averill shot a 91 for the Vikings.

“That was St. Xavier’s ‘B’ team — their ‘A’ team played in another tourna-ment,” St. Mary coach Kurt Averill said. “Not that there is much difference in the two teams.”

Lexington Catholic’s Ben

Streepey won the tourna-ment with a 69, two shots ahead of West Jessamine’s Travis Rose, an Eastern Kentucky commitment.

The Preview fi eld includ-ed eight of the top 10 teams in last year’s state tourna-ment. St. Mary will play in the Kentucky Cup on Wednesday at the Univer-sity Club in Lexington. The top four teams advance to match play Thursday.

From AP accounts

Swimming

There was backstroke domi-nance for the United States on a night when American swim-ming star Ryan Lochte missed a medal by finishing fourth in the 200-meter freestyle Monday.

American teenager Missy Franklin won the women’s 100-meter backstroke before Matt Grevers led a 1-2 finish for the U.S. in the same men’s race.

Franklin, a 17 year old from Colorado, had a brief 13-minute break after taking the final quali-fying spot in the 200 freestyle semifinals before she had to get back into the water for the back-stroke final.

Grevers then produced anoth-er rally in the men’s 100 back-stroke and Nick Thomas made it a 1-2 finish for the Americans, touching for silver in 52.92.

Tennis

There was a familiar sister act at Wimbledon on Monday, with Serena and Venus Williams each advancing in the singles tournament, then combining for a doubles win.

Other major champions to ad-vance in singles included Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, top-seeded Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, Petra Kvitova, Ana Iva-novic and three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick.

GymnasticsThe Chinese won their second

straight Olympic title in gym-nastics and third in four games after a dismal performance in qualifying. China’s score was more than four points better than Japan, which needed help from a replay to finish second.

Britain initially was announced as the silver medalist, setting off raucous celebrations at the O2 Arena, Princes William and Harry included. But Japan ques-tioned the score of three-time world champion Kohei Uchimura on pommel horse, the very last routine. About five minutes later, Uchimura’s score was revised, with judges giving him seven-tenths more credit for his dismount and Japan moved from fourth to second. Britain was bumped down to bronze.

Soccer

Also Monday, Switzerland stripped a soccer player of his Olympic accreditation after he sent a threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Morganella came hours after the Swiss lost to South Ko-rea, 2-1, on Sunday.

A Colombian soccer player was suspended for two games after U.S. forward Abby Wam-bach said she was “sucker-punched” in the right eye by Lady Andrade during the 3-0 win by the U.S. on Saturday. An-drade called it “an accident.”

Missy Franklin of the United States starts in the women’s 100-me-ter backstroke swimming final at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park on Monday during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Franklin went on to win the event, one of two gold medals for the Americans in swimming.

at the tender age of 15.Good thing for the U.S.

that Franklin and the oth-er Americans are coming through.

Phelps missed the po-dium in his 2012 Olym-pic debut, and Lochte has turned in two straight dis-appointing performances after opening the games with a dominant win in the 400 individual medley. He fi nished fourth and off the podium Monday night in the 200 freestyle, which France’s Yannick Agnel won by a full body length against a fi eld with gold medalists galore.

On Sunday, Lochte an-chored the U.S. in the 4x100 free relay, taking over with a seemingly comfortable lead. But Agnel chased him down on the fi nal leg, giving France the gold.

Now, another defeat.“I did my best,” Lochte

said. “I guess sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I gave it 110 percent. There’s probably some things I messed up on, but you live and learn. (Agnel is) a great racer. There’s no doubt about it. He’s quick

and he showed it last night and tonight. I’m happy for him. He did good.”

Franklin, who was rattled less than two weeks before the Olympics by the Au-rora theater shooting not far from her home, barely advanced from the 200 free semis. She qualifi ed for Tuesday night’s fi nal with the eighth-fastest time, but clearly she was saving something for the race that really mattered.

She’s still got fi ve more events to go, having started her Olympics with a relay bronze and leaving plenty of time to come away from these games as America’s big star in the post-Phelps era.

The winningest Olympi-an ever plans to retire after these games.

Australia’s Emily See-bohm, the top qualifi er, led at the turn and was un-der world-record pace, but Franklin showed a remark-able fi nishing kick. With her arms whirling and size-13 feet pounding the water, the 6-foot-1 swimmer passed the Aussie in the fi nal 25 meters and lunged toward the wall for a winning time of 58.33 seconds.

She broke into a big smile but was clearly exhausted, her head dropping back against the wall. Seebohm settled for silver in 58.68 and Japan’s Aya Terakawa took bronze in 58.83.

“You never know until you see that scoreboard, so I was just going as fast as I could until I got my hand on the wall,” Franklin said. “It was 110 percent effort, and all the work paid off.”

The 6-foot-8 Grevers pulled off a similar rally on his return lap, winning the 100 back in an Olympic-record 52.16 — the fi fth straight games, dating to Atlanta in 1996, that the U.S. men have won the backstroke. Thoman joined his teammate on the medal podium at 52.97, a gold-sil-ver fi nish they were think-ing about all along and reit-erated just before the fi nal.

David Marsh, Thoman’s coach, brought it up mo-ments before they went out to the pool, saying “1-2.”

Grevers said he and Thoman knew they “weren’t jinxing anything,” and they were right, though Grevers didn’t notice right away that Americans took the top two spots.

GREVERSCONTINUED FROM 1B

LONDON — Their closest rivals were still on the fl oor competing when the Chi-nese whipped out fi ve big gold stars and held them up in the shape of their fl ag.

Why wait?The Chinese won their

second straight Olympic ti-tle in men’s gymnastics and third and in four games in a rout Monday, making fools of everyone who wrote them off after a dismal per-formance in qualifying.

“We don’t have any faults. That’s our secret to beat the Japanese and to beat everyone,” Zhang Chenglong said. “In pre-liminaries, we had a little bit of faults. But tonight was completely perfect.”

Well, almost.It took fi ve minutes and a

video review to sort out the silver and bronze medal-ists after Japan questioned the score of three-time world champion Kohei Uchimura on pommel horse, the last routine. Ja-pan jumped from fourth to second after judges revised Uchimura’s score, bump-ing Britain down to bronze and Ukraine off the medals podium.

It was the British men’s fi rst team medal in a cen-tury, and it set off raucous celebrations at the O2 Are-na. Even Princes William and Harry joined in.

“To win a medal in your home games, I’ll take that any day,” Kristian Thomas said. “We never actually had the silver in our hands, so there’s no real disap-pointment.”

Tell that to the Japanese, who were bested by the Chinese yet again. Japan was the runner-up to China in Beijing, as well as at the last four world champion-

ships.And unlike last year’s

world championships, where the Japanese had appeared to close the gap on China, this one wasn’t even close. China fi nished with 275.997 points, more than four points better than Japan.

China now has gone eight years without losing at a major competition.

“At the very beginning it was fourth for Japan so I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t think anything,” a somber Uchimura said. “I was thinking, ‘It’s fourth, it’s fourth.’ Even after it was changed, I was not too happy.”

The Americans weren’t all that happy, either.

Bronze medalists four years ago, they could prac-tically feel their fi rst gold since 1984 after fi nishing No. 1 in qualifying, with captain Jon Horton jok-ingly asking if they could claim their prizes. But ev-eryone gets a do-over in team fi nals, and whatever

momentum the Ameri-cans had evaporated when Danell Leyva and John Orozco fell on pommel horse, their second event.

They wound up fi fth, six points behind China and almost two behind Britain.

“There’s defi nitely disap-pointment,” Horton said. “We are one of the best teams in the world.”

But China is in a class by itself.

The Chinese have been like playground bullies most of the last decade, sauntering into every com-petition and scooping up as many gold medals as pos-sible: Team golds at the last fi ve world champion-ships and Olympic titles in Sydney and Beijing, where they won all but one of the men’s medals.

They probably would have claimed that, too, had they bothered to contend for vault.

An abysmal performance in qualifying only furthered the doubt when they fi n-ished sixth.

NEW YORK — Movie Star News amassed a stag-gering amount of fi lm stills, posters and nega-tives over the past 73 years — nearly 3 million, including 1,500 prints of Bettie Page, known as the queen of pin-ups. But last week, the once-lively store in lower Manhattan was lifeless. The classic movie posters that once covered its narrow 2,000-square-foot space were rolled up or covered in cellophane, its bins and racks empty. Ev-erything was packed up in cardboard boxes that lined the fl oor.

The legendary Manhat-tan store credited with cre-ating pin-up art had sold its entire inventory to a

Las Vegas collectibles com-pany.

The collection, regarded as one of the largest of its kind, is headed for the auc-tion block. It will be sold in a series of sales slated to begin next year. The bulk of the collection covers the years 1939 to 1979; 11,500 movies and 5,000 actors are represented.

“This is the most impor-tant photo archive of Hol-lywood in existence. There are tens of thousands of negatives that have never been reproduced,” said Stuart Scheinman, co-owner of Entertainment Collectibles, which bought the collection. “There are images here that have never been seen by the public.”

There are 2,000 origi-

nal prints and negatives of Frank Sinatra and Mar-lon Brando, 1,000 of Gary Cooper, 400 of Bette Da-vis, hundreds of movie images of “The Godfa-ther” and “Gone With the Wind.”

“This could literally take fi ve to 10 years to go through it all,” Scheinman said. He would only say the company purchased the collection for “seven fi gures.” Its true value was anyone’s guess, but he be-lieved it easily was worth $150 million.

Movie Star News pro-duced 8-by-10 glossy prints from the negatives, selling each for a few dollars in the store and through the mail. But the Internet has signifi cantly cut down on demand.

NYC Movie, pin-up collection sold and slated for auction

Ira Kramer, nephew of the original Movie Star News founder Irving Klaw, holds a boot that once belonged to pin-up legend Bettie Page at the New York shop. Last week, Movie Star News announced it had sold its entire inventory to two partners of a Las Vegas collectibles company for an undisclosed sum.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Got a goofy older broth-er? Parents you still live with even though you’re grown up? An unconven-tional friendship?

If so, you’re too late to turn those ideas into a hit sitcom.

But while you comb your life for something else to fuel a comedy that a network will love, consider three fall sitcoms spawned from the personal lives of their creators.

CBS’ “Partners” explores the lifelong friendship of Louis, who’s gay, and Joe, who’s straight, as they navigate their architecture business and their respec-tive romantic ties. Their best-friends dynamic is inspired by the friendship of Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, who met in high school and, after partnering as TV produc-ers, co-created shows in-cluding the megahit “Will

& Grace.”There’s no attempt to

hide the lineage of Fox’s “Ben & Kate.” It’s the tale of a freewheeling brother, Ben, who comes back into the life of his single-moth-er younger sister, Kate, to serve as a surrogate dad while continuing his lifelong role as a mischie-vous child. The show is based on the relationship of its creator, Dana Fox, with her own big brother, whose name is, yes, Ben.

Meanwhile, ABC’s “How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life” fi nds a young mom from a broken mar-riage seeking refuge at her parents’ with her young daughter. It was drawn from the domestic situa-tion of creator Claudia Lo-now, who well into adult-hood and despite career success (including pro-ducing the sitcom “Less than Perfect”), continues to live with parents she describes as “charismat-

ic,” ‘’super entertaining” and “very weird.”

“I’ve been living there for 15 years, and I’ve been (developing) the show for about 12,” Lonow told re-porters this week at the Television Critics Associa-tion conference.

Like Polly (played by Sarah Chalke), who de-scends on TV parents Brad Garrett and Elizabeth Perkins, “I did show up at their doorstep and say, ‘I hope this isn’t a bad time for YOU, because it is for ME.’

“They reacted like any loving mother and step-father would,” Lenow re-called, and took her and her daughter in.

“We slept in the weight room on a cot for a while. And then, when it was time for my daughter to go to grammar school, I bought a house with them. I know it was crazy,” she said with a laugh. “It’s like there should be a show about it!”

“La Jetee” director dies at age 91

PARIS — France’s Culture Ministry has con-firmed that award-winning French filmmaker Chris Marker has died, one day after his 91st birthday.

Many critics count Marker, with his ex-perimental documentary

style, as among the most influential French film-makers of the post-war era.

His 1962 classic “La Jetee” — a 28-minute post-apocalyptic movie comprised almost en-tirely of stills — is often ranked among the best time-travel films ever made.

Cannes Film Festival President Gilles Jacob called Marker an “inde-fatigable filmmaker,” pay-ing homage to a director who was still active into his 80s.

LOS ANGELES — Two “Hobbit” movies are of-fi cially becoming three as Peter Jackson and his many Hollywood backers have fi nalized plans to pro-duce a third movie based on the classic fantasy book and release it in the sum-mer of 2014.

Talks had been going on for the last several weeks between Warner Bros.’ New Line Cinema, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, various rights holders, and the principal cast after it be-came clear that director Jackson wanted to produce three fi lms rather than the planned two.

The cast will include many actors from Jack-son’s successful “The Lord of the Rings” fi lms, includ-ing Martin Freeman, Rich-ard Armitage, Ian McKel-len, Cate Blanchett and Elijah Wood.

New Line and MGM are said to have been eager to secure the participation of all who were needed, as the additional movie could generate signifi cantly more revenue without a huge in-crease in costs.

In a post on his Face-book page, Jackson said the decision started after he and writing/producing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens watched an early cut of the planned December 2012 release “The Hobbit: An Unexpect-ed Journey.”

“We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance,” he wrote. “The richness of the story of ‘The Hobbit,’ as well as

some of the related material in the appendices of ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, his-tory of Middle-earth.”

Once it became clear to New Line and MGM execu-tives several weeks ago that Jackson wanted to make the third movie, one of the trickiest parts was signing new deals with cast mem-bers, who were in a strong

negotiating position since the studios would need them to appear in it.

Other participants in the pictures include the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien and Bob and Harvey Weinstein, who previously tried to develop “The Lord of the Rings” when they ran Mi-ramax Films, and who re-tain a small stake in any related pictures.

It’s not yet clear how the material from “The Hob-bit” and the “Lord of the Rings” appendices, which

Jackson is also adapting, will be divided among the three movies. In addition, the fi lmmaker and studios will need to determine how much additional footage is needed and how much al-ready shot will simply be spread out more than origi-nally planned.

Jackson fi nished princi-pal photography on “The Hobbit” movies in New Zealand earlier this month and is in the midst of a planned four weeks of ad-ditional shooting there.

The summer release date for the untitled third “Hob-bit” movie may come as a surprise to some, as the fi rst two fi lms are planned as December 2012 and 2013 releases. All three of Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” movies were also released that month.

“The Hobbit” is a prelude to “The Lord of the Rings,” taking place 60 years be-fore the events of those three volumes and fi lms.

“We completely sup-port Peter and his vision

for bringing this grand ad-venture to the screen over the course of three fi lms,” Toby Emmerich, the presi-dent of New Line, which is overseeing production, said in a statement. “Peter, Fran and Philippa’s rever-ence for the material and understanding of these characters ensure an excit-ing and expanded journey that is bound to please fans around the world.”

Dear Annie: My boy-friend and I informally agreed to move in together once I’m out of college and he is in grad school. Right now, we have a long-dis-tance relationship.

Here’s the problem. I recently found a two-year MFA program overseas that I’ve fallen in love with. I told my boyfriend that I’d like to apply, and initially, he seemed happy for me. But whenever I want to discuss the details, he directs the conversation elsewhere.

I know this program means more time away from him and I don’t ex-pect either of us to change our plans. But it seems he expected me to move in with him wherever he ends up going for his master’s. Even if I don’t get into the MFA program, I still want to explore the world before settling down with him. He doesn’t seem to get it.

Also, how do I get my

parents to support my deci-sion to go overseas? I know they will claim that I won’t be safe and ask me why an American school isn’t good enough. I don’t want them to yell at me. — Pennsylvania.

Dear Pennsylvania: One of the signs of adulthood is taking re-sponsibility for your choices and being con-fi dent in the face of ob-jections from others. You should listen and take into account those whose opinions you re-spect (such as your par-ents and boyfriend), but the fi nal decision is yours, good or bad. Own it.

A program abroad is usually an opportunity for growth. A boyfriend who pressures you to behave in ways that

benefi t him but not you could be a problem in the future. Please ac-knowledge that these people will miss you and worry about you, but also reassure them that this program is benefi cial for your ed-ucation and maturity, and you will stay in close contact. The yell-ing and disapproval is something you will sim-ply have to endure until things settle down.

Dear Annie: “Paul” asked who should pay the greens fees when friends visit and ask to play golf at his facil-ity. Having played golf for many years, I feel that ev-eryone pays his or her own greens fees. It’s just an au-tomatic thing, no questions asked. Simply walk up to the desk and pay your own way. It’s the polite thing to do, especially if you want to be asked to play again. — Shreveport.
