Tiger Woods hires Joe LaCava as new caddie

LaCava was the long-term bagman for Fred Couples, but the pair split in the summer after the veteran decided to reduce his playing schedule.

LaCava has since been with Dustin Johnson, with whom he was working at this week’s Tour Championship.

“Joe is an outstanding caddie, and I have known him for many years,” said 35-year-old Woods.

Why would Joe LaCava walk out on a top five player like Dustin Johnson to caddie for Tiger Woods? The answer lies in the schedules of both golfers. LaCava, who has children aged 14 and 12 does not want excessive travel and Johnson is considering playing both PGA and European Tours. Even fully fit Woods plays a relatively limited schedule. La Cava is a good fit for the former number one. An imposing figure, he enjoyed success with Johnson winning The Barclays recently, and gained a fine reputation as the longtime bagman for Woods’ friend Fred Couples.

“I’ve personally seen the great job he did for Freddie. I’m anxious for us to be working together.”

LaCava informed Johnson – who finished tied 23rd – of his decision after the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday.Authentic Baseball Jerseys

Woods, who has been without a caddie since severing ties with Williams in July, also spoke to Johnson and Couples to alert him of the decision.

LaCava’s first tournament with Woods will be the Frys.com Open from 6-9 October.wholesale Ronaldo soccer jerseys

“I’m excited to be working with Tiger,” LaCava said. “Tiger and I have been friends for a very long time,Cheap Flower Girl Dresses and I know what he can do.

“I want to thank Dustin for the opportunity to work with him,wholesale POLO Ralph Lauren SERIE and I wish him nothing but the best.”

New Zealander Williams carried Woods’s bag for 13 of his 14 major wins, after joining the former world number one in 1999.

Woods’s world ranking has slipped to 50th and he has not won a tournament since the 2009 Australian Masters.

Rugby World Cup 2011: Warren Gatland ponders selection Wales options

Wales’ selection policy for their final Pool D match against Fiji on Sunday could hinge on the result of Friday’s South Africa versus Samoa match.

If Samoa fail to get a bonus point, Wales would qualify for the quarter-finals regardless of the Fiji result.,cheap Chargers Jerseys,

“We will know before we play Fiji what what the potential is,” said Gatland.

“You could be there if South Africa beat Samoa without them getting a bonus point. That might change thinking for Sunday.”

But even if Samoa fail to get a bonus point there is still a mathematical chance of Fiji denying Wales progress to the knockout stages if they beat Gatland’s side with a bonus point and big winning margin.

However, Wales’ record try-scorer Shane Williams and versatile back James Hook are major doubts for their final Pool D match with Fiji in Hamilton.

Both players missed Monday’s record 81-7 victory over Namibia as wing Williams is suffering with a thigh strain, while Hook injured a shoulder against Samoa.

“We’ve had Shane scanned and he has a strain,” said Gatland.

“We think he may have done it against South Africa. We thought it was a haematoma,wholesale silk tie which is a knock, and he’s played against Samoa.”

The fear is that both Williams and Hook are also in danger of missing Wales’ possible quarter-final clash against Ireland on 8 October, should they beat Fiji.

“He’s up back on his feet, doing a bit of jogging around so hopefully he’s not too far away.

“Huw Bennett took a bit of a knock on his hip last week, hopefully he’ll be back training next week.”

Hook started Wales’ first two matches at full-back despite his preferred position being fly-half, but youngster Rhys Priestland has impressed in the pivotal stand-off role.juicy sunglasses wholesale

Priestland’s Scarlets team-mate Stephen Jones was handed the 10 jersey against Namibia after recovering from a long-term calf problem.

He celebrated his 101st and record cap by kicking 15 points.

Leigh Halfpenny impressed at full-back after replacing Hook against Samoa but the Cardiff Blue played in his more usual wing position against Namibia, allowing specialist full-back Lee Byrne to take the 15 shirt after overcoming his own injury problems.

Gatland is happy with his fly-half options at the moment but was keen to see the wing candidates impress in case Williams’ injury proves serious.

History of a double standard

Failure to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and Israel’s 40-year occupation, in the words of UN former Secretary General Kofi Annan,,Anime supplier, would “continue to hurt the reputation of the United Nations and raise questions about its impartiality”.,Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys,

No cause has consumed as much UN paper work as the plight of the displaced and occupied Palestinians. But hundreds of its resolutions on Palestine have not been respected let alone applied for over half a century.

Nowhere has the UN ideals and mechanisms been more mired in power politics than in Palestine. The efforts to neutralise UN intervention have been championed mainly by the United States.,wholesales mac Lip gloss, This week’s efforts by the Obama administration working on behalf of Israel took advocacy into a whole new level.,Cheap moncler vests,

Washington has vetoed more than 40 UN Security Council resolutions critical of its policies some of which were drafted by its European allies. A quick look at today’s Middle East makes it clear that such obstructions worked for the interest of neither party, nor for peace and security in the region.

Cold-War rivalries have also contributed to UN paralysis in the Israeli Palestinian-Arab conflict, which explains why more than half of the 690 resolutions adopted by the General Assembly from 1947-1990 have been ignored.

But what justifies sidelining the UN ever since, while keeping it at an arm’s length from a two decades of Peace Process?

Beetles gnawing way through millions of acres in Utah, across West

A gray-whiskered former fly-fishing guide waded through a horse pasture whacking weeds for his neighbor, the rumbling machine in his hands slicing thistles and sparing a robust tangle of grass and wildflowers, while on mountain ridges all around him, the trees silently died.

Here,2012 nfl super bowl jerseys along the pine-scented exurban glory of Trail Creek, Lester DuChane and his sparse neighbors are the latest Westerners to watch their green valley turn red and fade to gray as swarms of rice-grain-size beetles eat the Rocky Mountain forest.brand name watches He cannot figure out why the government never launched an aggressive counterattack against an epidemic, which has swept through neighboring ranges almost since he settled here in 1994.

“They say they’re working on it,” DuChane sneered, remembering his pleas with Gallatin National Forest rangers. “It’s the government. It ain’t doing anything.”

His is a complaint echoed by Western politicians, who think government land managers heaped disaster on the region by letting forests grow so thick that the trees cannot get enough water and sunlight to defend themselves from the pests.

But what if something larger than the federal bureaucracy is at work? What if the real culprit isn’t a faltering Uncle Sam but a changing Mother Nature?

A rogue wave of insects riding on a decade of drought and ever-warmer winters is now cresting here, where DuChane believes his perch is threatened: the elk he hunts, the view and the trout that brought him west from Wisconsin, and, in case of fire,cleveland cavaliers jerseys even the home he built for himself.

“You won’t see this in my lifetime,” DuChane said, tilting his cowboy hat at the few patches of green that remain but will fade by next summer. The replacement trees, if they grow, will take a century to mature.

Era of the super conference might come sooner than later

Just when college football was settling into the changes brought by last year’s conference shuffling, just when the Pac-12 logo started to feel familiar,Air Jordan Shoes and who’s a Legend and who’s a Leader almost made sense, the sport appears headed for significant upheaval.

The era of the super-conference might come sooner than expected. “It seems that’s the direction the world is going. If it is, so be it,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday.

Oklahoma president David Boren said just before the season opener the Sooners would decide this month whether to leave the Big 12 for another conference. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said before Saturday’s Oregon-LSU game that schools have reached out to his league recently.

One week into the season, Stoops and Texas coach Mack Brown didn’t expect to be talking about conference re-alignment, and the future of the Big 12. Last summer,Nike shox shoes Texas and Oklahoma, along with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, were poised to join the then-Pac-10 before the deal fell apart.

“At least I thought it was behind us for a year.digital scales supplier I thought we’d at least get through the season,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys” Stoops said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “I guess I always felt at some point it would come back up. I’d have to say not this quick, though.”

Said Brown: “I thought it was over for at least 10 years. … We were told last year we could join any league in the country we wanted to if it changed. We’ve been told we could go independent. So there’s going to be something really good for Texas at the end of this.”

Texas A&M kicked off the frenzy when the school formally announced its intention to leave the Big 12 last week. The Aggies are expected to apply for membership to the Southeastern Conference, perhaps as early as this week.

World is safer 10 years after 9/11: EU,steeler jerseys cheap NATO

The world is safer today than in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the United States, with global terror groups weaker than 10 years ago, senior EU and NATO officials said Monday.

A decade after Al-Qaeda traumatised the United States, the terror network has lost its leader, Osama bin Laden, and proved irrelevant in the revolutions sweeping the Arab world,wholesales mac Lip gloss said EU counter-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerchove.

“The main finding is the real failure of the Al-Qaeda project,starcraft 2 Coaching” he said.

The once mighty group has been worn down by the NATO-led war in Afghanistan, which served as its safe haven prior to 9/11, and reinforced international cooperation, de Kerchove said.

“Today an attack of the scale and sophistication of 9/11 is no longer possible,” he told a news conference. “Does it mean that we’re completely out of the threat? Probably not.”

He added: “Are we safer today than before? I can say yes.”

De Kerchove stressed that the world still faced terror threats, as the deadly shooting and bombing rampage by a Norwegian right-wing extremist showed this summer in Norway.

Terrorism has also evolved into a more complex and diversified menace, with Al-Qaeda franchises operating in Africa and the Arabian peninsula, he said.

At a separate briefing,Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen noted that 9/11 prompted the military alliance to invoke its mutual defence clause for the first time in its history and deploy troops to Afghanistan.

Ancient Sacrificer Found With Blades in Peru Tomb

With ancient ceremonial knives at his side,chi hair straigntener an elite 14th-century executioner—a key player in human-sacrifice rituals—has been uncovered in a tomb at a pre-Inca site in Peru, archaeologists suggest.

The tomb was found at Chotuna-Chornancap, a coastal site near the Peruvian city of Chiclayo (map). The site was once an important ceremonial center of the Lambayeque culture,steeler jerseys cheap also known as the Sicán.

The culture lived along the northern coasts of Peru from around A.D.starcraft 2 Coaching 800 until around 1375, when the neighboring Chimú civilization conquered the Sicán.

(Related: “Tombs of Pre-Inca Elite Discovered Under Peru Pyramid.”)

Previous excavations at Chotuna-Chornancap by Peruvian archaeologist Carlos Wester La Torre, who led the team that found the purported sacrificer, revealed a temple containing the remains of several women who were mutilated as part of human-sacrifice rituals.

Wester and other Peruvian archaeologists have suggested that the rulers of Chotuna-Chornancap may have claimed to be the descendants of Naylamp, a god-like figure from the sea that legend says founded the Sicán culture.

(See photos and reconstructions of a sacrificial temple at Chotuna-Chornancap.)

Copper-Skirted Sacrificer

The new tomb discovery was made during excavations of a section of Chotuna-Chornancap that was used to perform crop-fertility rituals, according to the team.

The skeleton belonged to a male between 20 and 30 years old, and that the tomb was built sometime in the late 1200s or early 1300s A.wholesales mac Lip glossD., toward the end of the Sicán period, they say.

The cause of death of the tomb’s inhabitant is unknown, but based on the kind and quantity of artifacts buried with him—including ceramic pots, a skirt made of copper disks, and ornate copper knives—the team thinks he was a member of the Sicán elite and possibly performed ritual human offerings by order of a priest.

Wester speculated that a sacrificer was more than just a simple executioner. He would have been entrusted with other responsibilities related to the ceremonies surrounding the sacrifices, the archaeologist added.

Ceramic and metal objects were also found near the tomb—possibly left as offerings to the dead sacrificer, or they may be evidence of another tomb, said Wester, director of the Brüning National Archaeological Museum in the city of Lambayeque.

(Also see: “‘Spider God’ Temple Found in Peru.”)

Or Is a Knife Just a Knife?

Archaeologist and Sicán expert Izumi Shimada said the new tomb could shed light on what the Sicán culture was like just prior to its collapse.

Previous studies, including Shimada’s own work, have focused largely on the Sicán-Classic, or middle-Sicán, period, which lasted from A.D. 900 to 1100.

Wester’s work “fills a large void that we have,” said Shimada, of Southern Illinois University, who was not involved in the new discovery.

But Shimada said it’s still too early conclude that the person buried in the tomb played a role in Sicán human sacrifices.

Knives made from precious metals such as copper or even gold were status symbols for the Sicán elite, Shimada said. It was typical for members of the upper class to be buried with such blades.

“The presence of such a knife alone does not provide enough basis to say the person was a priest or that they performed sacrifices,” Shimada said.

“Unless the knife were analyzed and contained DNA or blood samples, you cannot really make that kind of logical connection.”

Live game to be shown on Facebook

An FA Cup qualifying round tie that would normally attract a crowd of about 90 people could boast a potential global audience of 700 million after an agreement was reached to broadcast Friday’s match on the social networking site Facebook.

The extra-preliminary round fixture between Ascot United and Wembley will become the first match ever to be broadcast live on the site after a deal was struck between the Football Association and the competition’s new main sponsors Budweiser.

Budweiser’s marketing director Iain Newell said the company, who earlier this year signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the FA worth 24 million pounds ($39.4 million), were intent on taking soccer’s oldest competition back to global pre-eminence, and at the same time, take it back to the fans.
