Tiger Woods leads by seven at Bridgestone Invitational:

"Although the world No. 1 wasn't nearly as sharp in all facets of his game as he was during his second-round 61, his first bogey-free round of the season, he nonetheless kept the rest of the field at a safe distance with a 2-under-par 68 to lead by seven with 18 holes to play."

Tiger Woods flirts with history, shoots 61 - Sports - The Boston Globe:

"Tiger Woods had a shot at making history with a magical 59. He swore he wasn’t disappointed to come up short.

Tiger Woods shoots first-round 66 at Bridgestone Invitational - CBSSports.com

Tiger Woods shoots first-round 66 at Bridgestone Invitational - CBSSports.com:

"Woods has finished in the top 10 in 11 of his 13 appearances at this tournament (including seven wins) and he looks to be on his way once again to a great showing with a first-round 66 on Thursday.

Here are Woods' average first rounds at Firestone separated by wins and non-wins:

When he wins: 66.4
When he doesn't win: 68.8

So that looks about right if you're rooting for Woods to get his fifth win of the 2013 season."

Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com

Ask Well: Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com:

"The short answer is probably yes: You can drink your wine and cook it too.

Red wine essentially has two properties that make it good for health when consumed in moderation. One is its alcohol content, which is known to increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce levels of fibrinogen, a precursor of blood clots. The other is its abundance of polyphenols, natural compounds like resveratrol that, according to some studies, can protect blood vessels and help reduce inflammation."

US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy

Follow the link below for a list of vendors offering credit cards with smart chips.  We recently visited France, and thankfully had one credit card with a chip.  It came in handy many times.

US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy:

"Most US cards don’t have chip technology because it is expensive and not required by US merchants, so issuers have been dragging their feet on issuing new cards with them. The good news, though, is that we’re seeing more and more issuers putting chips in more and more cards because of consumer demand, so if you’re in the market for a new credit card, chances are you can find one that suits your needs financially and has a chip in it."

Inflight Medical Emergencies - 1 out of 604 flights

How Common Are Medical Emergencies On Commercial Airline Flights?:

"Mid-air. It’s the last place anyone wants to have a medical emergency, but a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine Thursday claims that’s exactly what happens on approximately one out of every 604 flights. More surprising still, in three out of four emergencies, a trained health professional aboard the plane will step forward to help out."

Wine Might Fight Kidney Stones - Study Results

Study: Another Reason for Daily Wine - James Hamblin - The Atlantic:

"In summary, soda is not the best thing for our bodies. Diet soda is better but not perfect. Alcohol is a diuretic that flushes out our kidneys, which may be why this study saw "a reduced risk of stones in individuals who consumed higher amounts of wine and beer."

Video Clips of Tiger - 2013 WGC-Cadillac

It's fun to watch Tiger playing well.

Nicklaus Thinks Tiger Woods Can Catch His Record

Jack Nicklaus still thinks Tiger Woods can catch his record but needs to 'get going' - ESPN:

"In what now sounds like a broken record, Nicklaus maintains that records are made to be broken, including his gold standard of 18 professional majors, despite Woods' rough weekend.

Stats & Info: The Man's Got A Point
Tiger Woods is four majors behind Jack Nicklaus' record of 18, and at 37, Woods should be "getting with it," according to Stats & Info. Blog

Woods' effort at the Honda Classic included two lost balls, four shots in the water and 15 shots out of the bunkers. He made four double bogeys, was never better than 3-under par at any point and was under par for only 26 out of the 72 holes he played.

None of this was enough to alarm Nicklaus.

"I still think he'll break my record," Nicklaus said "

Cuts Causing Long Lines at Airports

---  the original post follows below  ---

Napolitano: Cuts causing long lines at O'Hare, other airports - chicagotribune.com:

"Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on Monday cautioned airline passengers to get to the airport extra early because U.S. spending cuts have already led to long lines at some security checkpoints, and said the coming furloughs will only make the situation worse.

Napolitano said mandatory spending cuts ordered on Friday by President Barack Obama have led to the elimination of overtime for Transportation Security Administration officers and customs agents. She said TSA would begin sending out furlough notices to employees on Monday. Hiring freezes have also prevented any open positions from being filled.

"We are already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry - at the big airports, for example. Some of them had very long lines this weekend," Napolitano said at a "Politico Playbook" breakfast event.

She pointed to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as examples of those with long lines."

Tiger Woods Most Capable of Winning This Major ...

Which 2013 Major Is Tiger Woods Most Capable of Winning? | Bleacher Report:

"Tiger Woods is capable of winning any of the four majors in 2013. He’s also capable of not winning any of them.

Now, having gotten that out of the way, the one he’s most capable of winning is the Masters, at least according to the masses.

Since missing the cut in 1996 as an amateur, Woods has finished in the top 10 a dozen times. 10 of those were top fives, including four wins. The fact that those victories came at 18, 16, 12 and 12-under par tells you that Tiger Woods knows how to play Augusta National Golf Club better than anybody currently playing the game."

Argentina’s High Altitude Wines - The Healthiest?

Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler: Argentina’s High Altitude Wines---the World’s Healthiest?:

"So, what is it about elevation that makes the difference?  Higher altitude vineyard sites are closer to the sun.  Grapes implement a defense mechanism against the sunlight intensity by thickening their skins, resulting in higher polyphenol levels.   Resveratrol, one of these polyphenols, has been shown to have great anti-oxidant properties.  Antioxidants have been shown in numerous medical studies to protect the heart.

High altitude wines, however, may promote more than just cardiac health.  Resveratrol has been found to have implications for destroying human cancer cells.  This important polyphenol may also have “fountain of youth” inference as it has been shown to encourage cell survival during times of stress."

Tiger Woods wins at Torrey Pines for 8th time - 9News

---  the original post follows below  ---

Tiger Woods' Torrey Pines win a great forecast for his 2013 - Sporting News:

"Monday’s virtual walkover—a 4-stroke victory at 14-under—finished off Tiger’s seventh victory (eight overall, counting the 2008 U.S. Open) in the annual Tour stop at Torrey Pines (formerly the Buick Invitational, now the Farmers Insurance Open). A win there, early in the year, has been an omen for success for him every time, going back nearly to the beginning of his run.

In each of the previous six years he’s won this tournament (1999, 2003 and 2005-08), he has finished the year with at least five victories. In five of those seasons, the win total has included at least one major. The exception was ’03, during what was then considered a catastrophic, career-altering “slump”—10 straight majors without a win, with the ’03 shutout aided by late ’02 knee surgery."

This kind of performance makes it really hard to stay interested.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy shoot 75s, miss cut at Abu Dhabi - Sports - The Boston Globe:

"Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi Championship in the United Arab Emirates Friday, a woeful start to the season for the world’s top two golfers.

Woods missed it after he was penalized two shots for wrongly taking a free drop, while top-ranked McIlroy was frustrated trying to adjust to his new Nike clubs, even though he used his old Titleist putter in the second round. Both finished with 3-over-par 75s."
