...mistake, however: Woods will be under mind-bending pressure at the Masters.

Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. Jonathan Bernstein, a Los Angeles-based crisis consultant, suggests that if Tiger bombs on the course, he should just admit that the personal distractions weighed on his game.

Madrid will send another 200 troops to bring their total commitment...
...deeper reason behind the Supreme Court Justices' choosing to hear this case has to do with the nuances of the decision at a lower court. After the U.S. patent office denied their patent in 2006, the Bilski-Warsaw duo took their appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The panel of 12 judges heard the case, and came to the conclusion that the patent office was justified in its dismissal...
