TIGER WOODS WON AUSTRALIAN MASTERS





"I felt this was
a tricky golf course
in a sense.
It's not overly long but
you can hit marginal shots
and have them in pretty bad spots,"
said Tiger woods .


I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch over tv live the moments world No. 1 Tiger woods got his maiden victory on Australian soil at Kingston Heath. He won JBWere Masters with a 2-under 274 score, two shorts over Greg Charmers.

Though Woods had to share the lead at the end of the third round with two others, his magnificant performance in the final round had earned him a golden jacket, a trophy, a $250,000 cheque plus a $3 million appearance fees.

Despite of this hefty appreance fees, the money appeared to pay off as 25,000 fans packed the course each day, lining the fairways and circling the greens to follow the world No. 1. It was reported that the collection from this event is more than the expected amount ie. $A19 million.

" This has been absolutely phenomenal," Woods said during the trophy presentation. " I'm sorry it took me so long to get back." Tiger promised to come back to defend his title at Victoria Golf Club next year.

THE PERILS OF TEXT MESSAGING

Texting may allure problems...




Fort Lauderdale
Family Law Attorney
Advises Clients
to Avoid Texting Marital,

Extra-Marital or Negotiation Details -
Or Risk Texts Becoming Evidence,


The above advice comes from Barry I. Finkel, partner in The Law
Office of Berry
I. finkel P. A. as reported by Reuters.

"In the age of digital communications, there now are three sides
to every divorce story:
His, hers, and what's being stored by the
phone company."


"Digital communications, like email, instant messaging and
increasingly text
messaging using a wireless phone, has opened
new lines of communication
between people. This includes
couples facing divorce. While email and IM are
commonly used,
most should be wary of texting. Why? Many people who text often

will message their spouse, friends or even a lover with whom
they're having an
affair, revealing intentions, intimate details and
negotiation strategies."


"Such conversations can become evidence in the mediation or
courtroom setting.
Yet, hitting "Delete" isn't enough to erase the
conversation. The phone
company often retains records of text
conversations for up to 30 days. In a
divorce scenario, those records
can be requested or subpoenaed into evidence."

MIRINAE HITS PHILIPPINES, LEAVING 14 DEAD

Typhoon Mirinae hit Philippines and on the way to
Vietnam . Image source:NMOC*


"We saw many
shanty-type houses
that had been washed away
and residents frantically try to get
hold of their household material,"said
videographer James Reynolds


I feel very sad to have heard news of natural disasters which have occurred lately in several neighboring countries.

The latest incident was that the main island of Luzon, Philippines was hit by typhoon Mirinae on early Saturday morning resulting in at least 14 people dead, toppling trees and damaging more than 5,500 houses with fierce winds.

Mirinae was the fourth storm to lash Philippines in a month. Since late September, typhoons Ketsana, Parma and Lupit combined killed more than 850 people, with Ketsana delivering the Philippines heaviest rainfall in 40 years. 87,000 people are still living in evacuation centers, officials said.

The storm headed out over the South China Sea and was swirling 279 miles (450 kilometers) southwest of Manila early today but could still bring rains and thunderstorms to western Palawan province, forecasters said.

It was expected to strike Vietnam's central coast around noon Monday.

I would like to convey my deepest sympathies and condolences to the people of Philippines for the mishaps and miseries they are suffering. Meanwhile, I hope Mirinae will bring less hardship to the people of Vietnam.
