Daughter of tragic PC David Rathband carries Olympic torch blindfolded in poignant tribute to her father
Mia Rathband, daughter of PC David Rathband, carrying the Olympic Flame whilst blindfolded on the Torch Relay leg between Whitburn and Sunderland in honour of her father
The teenage daughter of tragic PC David Rathband carried the Olympic torch while blindfolded today as she walked the relay leg in South Tyneside.
Mia, 13, asked to take the place of David, 43, who – blinded by gunman Raoul Moat in 2010 – was found hanged in February after struggling to come to terms with his disability.
The teenager was cheered by hundreds as she completed the Whitburn leg in South Tyneside of the torch's journey around Britain.
She walked with her eyes covered by a black blindfold in South Tyneside at just before 9am. Her mother Kath, 42, said her late husband would have been 'proud' of his daughter.
Before his death, PC Rathband had been nominated to bear the Olympic torch in the North East. Mia was escorted by a member of the Metropolitan Police as she walked
through South Tyneside and was cheered on by hundreds of people.
PC Rathband was praised for his outstanding bravery and despite his disability, the 44-year-old fought to rebuild his life and set up a charity, the Blue Lamp Foundation, which helps emergency services personnel injured in the line of duty.
On February 29 this year, he was found hanged in his home in Blyth, Northumberland, after concerns were raised about his safety.
He left behind daughter Mia, son Ash, 19, and wife Kath, 42. Kath Rathband said: 'It means so much to Mia and the family that she's been given this opportunity to carry the Olympic Torch in her Dad's place.
'It was a great honour for David to be nominated as a Torch Bearer by so many people and to be selected. I know he would be very proud to see his Mia carry the Torch on his behalf this Saturday.'
In October 2010, PC Rathband set up a sponsored walk for 200 people
where participants were blindfolded so they could experience what it is
like to be without sight.
Gunman Roaul Moat shot his former girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and murdered
her new boyfriend Christopher Brown, 29, in Birtley, Gateshead, before
blinding PC Rathband, 43, as he sat in his patrol car.
The rampage sparked a week long manhunt which ended when the 37-year-old shot himself in July 2010.

World Cup football legend Jackie Charlton wiped away tears of pride as he carried the Olympic torch through Newcastle yesterday.
The 77-year-old was overcome with emotion as he held the flame just months after undergoing a hip replacement following a fall at his home in Morpeth, Northumberland.
Charlton waved at cheering crowds who chanted "Haway Jackie" as he walked through Newcastle city centre.
The one-time no-nonsense centre half, he said: 'My health is getting better by the minute. My hip still bothers me but I can go up steps and I can walk fast. I am getting it working after a long, long time.'
Emotional: World Cup winner Jackie Charlton wipes away a tear as he proudly carries the Olympic torch through Newcastle City centre
Charlton played alongside his brother Sir Bobby, 74, in the 1966 England side that beat West Germany 4-2. He was a central figure in Leeds United's title-winning teams of the 1970s.
He managed Ireland in two World Cups, having been boss of Newcastle United, Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough.
Born in Ashington, Northumberland, he remains popular in Newcastle, saying: 'Every 10th person comes up to me and says 'Hiya Jack'.
'Once a Geordie always a Geordie.'
Charlton was one of 141 carriers taking the Olympic torch from Alnwick, Northumberland, to Newcastle.
Later in the day TV adventurer Bear Grylls carried the torch across the Tyne Bridge in a daring zip wire slide.
Flaming hero: Bear Grylls zip wires along the Tyne Bridge in front of thousands lining the river while carrying the torch in his right hand
With the Olympic rings attached to the bridge, Grylls, 38, completed a 400 metre slide from the top of the 195ft arch with fireworks exploding in celebration.
Grylls said: 'I was kind of worried about the torch going out but it stayed alight. It was amazing. I was a bit nervous about rope and fire but it was fine and we are in one piece.'
'I think you're not human if you're not nervous when you're standing 200ft up and it's blowing you around a little bit. It's a long drop. They said the torch had been tested in a wind tunnel but you don't really know.
'A wind tunnel's one thing but the Tyne Bridge when it's a bit blowy is a different thing. It's still alight, we're alive and I'm super proud to have carried the torch.'
He told the Daily Mirror he felt part of something special and described the Olympics being about 'the spirit of endeavour'. 'You sense it when you come and do something like this and hear those crowds, ' he said. ' I'm very proud.'
After his feat, Grylls - appointed Chief Scout almost three years ago - was greeted by scouts and navy ratings.

Hurricane Boat Cover review
Reviewed by Steven K (Camino, CA) Reviewed for a 1996 Dodge Ram — Aug 04, 2011 8:08 AM
I found the boat cover easy to install using the directions provided. I did have to adjust the location necessary for the hook up for the bow strap to ensure the cover would remain taunt during travel, but this is no consequence. 2nd item I have recently purchased from Auto Anything and both meet my expectations. Thanks

Very good quality. Light and easy to handle. I like the stow bag. My last top didn't have one and was a mess to keep together. I would reccomend this item.

Kiwis in Afghanistan to protect gains
Relevant offers
OPINION: Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman explains why New Zealand is not leaving Afghanistan.
New Zealand has played an important role in the international effort in Afghanistan for well over a decade.
In the early days of the campaign we helped root out al Qaeda, then in 2003 deployed a Provincial Reconstruction Team to Bamyan to stabilise and aid in the recovery of a province that had suffered under Taliban rule.
Later, the SAS was redeployed to Kabul to help the Afghan Crisis Response Unit build its capacity as one of Afghanistan's premier counter-terrorism units.
It has been service that has come at the cost of 10 New Zealand lives, sacrifices that have been felt deeply across the nation. Other New Zealanders have been wounded in Afghanistan and have had their futures inextricably altered as a result.
Over the same period, New Zealand citizens have died in some of the world's most high profile terrorist actions since 9/11 – the Bali bombing, the London Tube bombing and the Jakarta Hotel bombing.
That is why New Zealand has continued to support the international effort in Afghanistan so that it cannot again become a haven for al Qaeda and an incubator for international terrorism. Not only is it important to secure the gains of the past decade, but it is also in New Zealand's own interest to be part of the collective security effort to safeguard the future stability of that country.
Cynics point to the historical record, tell you that no nation has ever won in Afghanistan and complain that New Zealand is expending effort in a country where corruption is rife.
While it is true that it is unwise to ignore the lessons of history, the fact is that because of New Zealand's efforts, massive gains have been made for the people of Bamyan province, especially women and children. Before we arrived education and health services in the province were rudimentary, and women and girls were treated appallingly under the Taliban. New Zealand's efforts have seen reconstruction of the hospital and the building of educational facilities.
In 2001 there were fewer than 15 schools open – there are now 353. Almost half primary school children in Bamyan are girls, while 38 per cent of teachers are female and many Bamyan teachers have been aided by New Zealand-supported teachers' training programmes. There are now 2700 students at Bamyan University, 15 per cent of whom are women.
Our support to the health sector has helped significantly reduce both the maternal mortality rate and the mortality rate for children under 5. In the Taliban era there were only two doctors working in the province. Now health care facilities are available across the province, and health professionals include 40 doctors and 150 midwives.
We have also contributed Kiwi money and expertise to major agricultural projects and a solar power project that will provide access to electricity to approximately 2500 homes, businesses and government buildings in Bamyan town. It will be the largest solar-energy system built in Afghanistan and will make a significant contribution to living standards and economic development.
As to the question of whether the gains in Afghanistan are sustainable, and whether the coalition can " win there, the point is that unlike the armies of history, the ISAF coalition does not want to remain in Afghanistan in the long term. For much of the past 10 years, therefore, ISAF's effort has been largely directed at building Afghan capacity in security and governance so that ultimately the country can stand safe, secure and stable on its own. There is no doubt though that the international community can do so much, but ultimately the will of the Afghan people will determine whether their nation prospers.
If Afghanistan is to continue along the trajectory towards a relatively secure future, it will require on-going international support. This year the wider coalition effort is moving from leading the military mission to supporting and mentoring the Afghan forces so they can manage their own security. That is why New Zealand has announced that following the withdrawal of our Provincial Reconstruction Team in April, New Zealand will continue to make a small but significant contribution to the international security effort in Afghanistan.
Our 27 people will be in headquarters, intelligence, planning and training roles. None will be in front-line combat roles, but they will all be making a valuable niche contribution to a collective effort. Likewise, New Zealand-funded development programmes in Bamyan in renewable energy, agriculture, education and health will continue beyond the PRT.
New Zealanders should be proud of the efforts of our service people over the past 10 years in helping secure and rebuild Afghanistan. It is important now that we help see the job through.

The scene opens up with a couple of paramedics they approach a man in the middle of the road. The Man says he doesn't know where he is. In the ambulance man is freaking out and starts to fight the paramedic. The man grabs a gun and kills both paramedics. He then drives off in a van that is conveniently placed. Johnson and Sergeant Gabriel arrive on scene and they evaluate the scene. She is told that the paramedics used in a GS lift and then demonstrates it on Johnson. She runs up to the ambulance and opens the back doors the bodies of the two paramedics are gone. Commander Taylor tells that the fire department took them away before they arrived on scene. She tells them to get the bodies to their morgue right away. At the station, Johnson looks at the body with Dr. Morales and tells that he recognizes the body. Johnson tells and he doesn't have to do the autopsy now at wants fingerprints.
They get a fingerprint off of the ambulance and it is registered to Kevin Mason. Sanchez comes in and tells Johnson about the pre-paid phone and have was used in another case. Pope tell that Tommy Delk turned it over to the FBI because of the fact that is a bombing attempt. Johnson and her team evaluate the 911 call of a man saying that another person is having a fit in the middle of the road. Johnson believes that the caller is the killer. Pope tells that she needs to turn over the murders and says that she has to deal with Tommy Delk. She tells that she wants to wait until she has something concrete. Johnson speaks to lieutenant Tao and asks how Kevin faked all the symptoms and he showed. Meanwhile at a nursing home, given puts on a uniform with a name tag of Bob and has a drawer full of pills and a gun. He walks into another room and offers to help an old man. Johnson tells that they're going to have to find him before he disappears again.
Commander Taylor tells Johnson that the paramedic's memorial has been moved to Monday and the decision of the next Chief of Police is postponed until Tuesday. Commander Taylor tells that Tommy Delk is in Chief Pope's office and for her to play nice. Johnson meets with Tommy Delk and he tells of the bomb's experience and that no evidence was found to link anyone to the case. Tommy tells that the FBI is working with the case now and Johnson gets upset that the FBI was made aware of the case. Tommy gloats that he is in constant contact with the FBI and Johnson gloats as well. Pope tells them that they are going to be working together and that they need to play nice. Johnson and Tommy exit to building. Meanwhile at the nursing home, Kevin helps the old man into a chair so that he can watch TV. Kevin watches as the news report talks about the murder and he smiles. Back at the station Johnson and Tommy are evaluating the case and Johnson says that the bombing was actually aimed towards the firemen. The FBI come in and takes over the files. Johnson finds out that Tommy is actually on her side and tells they don't want to leave the FBI on a wild goose chase and agrees to follow her lead.
In the nursing home, the old man is complaining about is wheelchair and Kevin tells that he will have it back. The old man gets angry and threatens to call the police. Kevin kills the old man. In the interview room at the station, Johnson and Tommy are questioning Dr. Wexler. Johnson asks about what type person Kevin is. Wexler tells that he is the person that thinks he doesn't make mistakes and is controlling. He tells that whatever they think Kevin is planning, to think bigger. During the interview, Kevin is recording himself speaking of the corruption of the system. Johnson and Tommy exit the interview room and a team tells her a hit on the casings in that the gun is registered to a Mr. Owens. Tommy tries to call the FBI and Johnson tells him not to bother. The team arrives and Mr. Owens apartment and they find him dead. They find out the attendant that watched Owens was Kevin Mason. In the bathroom they find the gun and the medication that Lt. Provenza can't pronounce. Lieutenant Tao tells that he found bladder control medication was missing and that Kevin clocked out two hours ago. Sanchez tells that the managers are wondering when they can have the funeral. This triggers something in Johnson's head and realizes that the big event that Kevin is planning is the memorial service for the paramedic's.
At the memorial, Johnson tells that they need to cancel the memorial so that they can prevent Kevin from bombing it. Commander Taylor asks how Kevin is going to get in. Meanwhile, Kevin arrives at the memorial in his van and he comes out dressed in a LAFD uniform and is in a wheelchair. He rides towards the memorial with oxygen tanks. Pope tells that she doesn't want to make the call because if there is no bomb, she will be the laughing stock of the LAPD and everywhere else. Pope takes the fall and tells that the memorial is canceled. They start to vacate the memorial and Kevin asks one of the officers what is going on. He tells that the memorial is canceled. Sergeant Gabriel and the rest of the team find nothing in the van that belongs to Kevin and tell Johnson the news. She is wondering where the bomb is. Kevin is devastated that the memorial was canceled and rides in an elevator back down and a lady tells him that she is grateful for his service thinking that he is a Fireman. He gets out of the elevator and Johnson is down by the van when she gets a call from Tao. He tells that the bomb is actually a nerve gas and one sniff of it can kill anyone. But Johnson doesn't hear him clearly. Suddenly she turns around and Kevin is sitting in his wheelchair right in from of them.
Sergeant Gabriel runs for Kevin who is trying to get out of the wheelchair and tackles him on the ground. Kevin gets up and tells that he has a dead man's switch on the bomb. Johnson tries to talk Kevin down by telling that she watched the "Manifesto" DVD that he made and he asks what part she liked. She gives him the things that Dr. Wexler told her and he tells that he agrees that the system is corrupt and that he got turned down for the fire department based on the fact that he is white. Sanchez starts running and Kevin tells that another coward Hispanic flees. Johnson tells Gabriel to ignore him and Sanchez really went to hire ground. He aims his gun on him again. Gabriel see his chance and lunges at Kevin and grabs the switch. They fight and suddenly a shot is fired and Kevin goes down. It came from Johnson's gun and Lt. Flynn is upset that she shot because of the decision of Chief of Police is tomorrow and she just blew it.
Pope, Tommy Delk, Fritz, and Johnson are sitting in the office and they say that they couldn't find Kevin's "Manifesto" and Johnson tells that it has gone missing. Commander Taylor tells that the mayor wants to see the chief. Johnson stands up but Taylor tells it is Tommy Delk. Johnson tells Fritz that she is disappointed and relieved at the same time. She tells that she wants to be alone for a moment. She goes into her office and takes out Kevin's "Manifesto" and breaks it in half. She then grabs a bunch of "Ding-Dongs" and gives them to everyone on her team as they watch the Mayor handing over the position of Chief of Police to Tommy Delk. Pope tells that he is going to work on his resume and everyone wonders if Tommy is going to keep Major Crimes and Fritz tells that he believes he will after the help they gave him.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A sea turtle who survived catastrophic injuries and underwent a year of rehabilitation and innovative surgeries has been found dead, three weeks after he was released off the Florida coast.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center said Andre, as he was known, was found Wednesday on Hutchinson Island. He was in such bad condition that what killed him couldn't be determined. An identification tag confirmed it was him.
Andre was found split open and stranded in June 2010 with massive injuries. Veterinarians used cutting-edge techniques to save him, including vacuum therapy and orthodontics.
The turtle's story was followed by many of the 225,000 annual visitors to the center and through a round-the-clock webcam. Children flooded him with mail and checks flowed in from around the world to support his care.

Boom: Congressional Investigators Find Evidence of a Gunwalker Coverup
You've got to give CBS credit on two fronts: they've doggedly pursued the biggest DC scandal since Watergate and they fired Dan Rather.
Congressional investigators tell CBS News there's evidence the U.S. Attorney's office in Arizona sought to cover up a link between their controversial gunwalking operation known as "Fast and Furious" and the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Terry was murdered in Arizona near the US border last December. Two assault rifles ATF had allegedly allowed onto the street without interdiction were found at the scene…
…the lead prosecutor on Fast and Furious, Assistant US Attorney Emory Hurley, learned almost immediately that guns allowed onto the street in his case, had been recovered at Terry's murder. "(I)n the hours after Agent Terry's death," says the letter from Grassley and Issa, Hurley apparently "contemplated the connection between the two cases and sought to prevent the connection from being disclosed." The Justice Department recently transferred Hurley out of the criminal division into the civil division…
…An internal ATF email dated the day after Terry's death reveals the quick decision to not disclose the source of the weapons found at the murder scene: "… this way we do not divulge our current case (Fast and Furious) or the Border Patrol shooting case."
Another ATF email indicates that the justification both offices used to not charge the suspect with crimes related to the murder scene "was to not 'complicate' the FBI's investigation."
ATF whistleblowers revealed the link between the two cases to Congressional investigators and CBS News, saying their supervisors were attempting to cover it up.
To their credit, Reps. Grassley and Issa have announced they are expanding the Gunrunner investigation. Particularly galling:
…a court filing by the Phoenix office seeking to deny Mr. Terry's family rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and expressed concerns about conflicts of interest in prosecuting the Terry case. "Since your office directed and approved the daily tactical decisions in Operation Fast and Furious, it is hard to avoid the perception that a conflict of interest exists," the two wrote.
What did Eric Holder know — and when did he know it?
And just how high does the coverup go?

Unique designs created by combining the latest digital technology and the microscopic wonders of nature are being showcased as part of an event celebrating the best of Welsh design.
Professor Richard Weston, of the Welsh School of Architecture has developed a method of using digital imaging on microscopic patterns in rocks and minerals to produce exclusive designs on fabrics and other material.
His weston naturally exclusive products will be on display in the Morgan Arcade, Cardiff, as part of the Cardiff Design Festival (2-16 October).
The Transformations exhibition features designs in architectural glass, silk – including scarves now being exclusively sold through Liberty of London – and dresses, known as "frocks from rocks".
Speaking about his work, Professor Weston said: "We have been developing the range over the past couple of years. Cardiff Design Festival provides an ideal showcase for the work, and I'm sure visitors will be stunned by the magnificent natural designs which we have uncovered.
"The images that emerge when we scan at high resolution are incredible. Many look like works of art, and all have remained hidden for millennia – only revealed now thanks to digital technology."
Transformations will highlight three aspects of the naturally exclusive range:
The Cardiff Design Festival celebrates the best of Welsh design through a programme of events that inform, inspire and provoke. The Festival provides a spotlight on the design sector and shows how design affects every aspect of our lives.

Online petitioners seek probe into China dissident death
REUTERS - Online petitioners stepped up pressure on China on Thursday to investigate the death in hospital of a labour activist after spending more than 22 years in jail for his role in the 1989 pro-democracy protests in Beijing.
Li Wangyang, who was only released from prison last year, was found dead in a hospital ward in Shaoyang city in Hunan province on Wednesday, his neck tied with a noose made from cotton bandages. Authorities said it was suicide.
He was being treated for deteriorating health, but details were not available. The group Human Rights in China said Li lost his sight and hearing as a result of torture during his years behind bars.
"We saw that his body was still hanging by the window, and his two feet were clearly still standing on the ground. But they (hospital staff) did not let us get near him ... Then they dragged his body away," Zhao Baozhu, Li's brother-in-law, was quoted as saying by Human Rights in China.
As of Thursday afternoon, 2,700 people had signed an online petition, including prominent Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, scholars, lawyers and writers who called for an authorized forensic investigation.
Li had been one of the first Chinese activists to push for independent labour unions in China, but was punished after the June 4, 1989, crackdown for his participation in the pro-democracy movement.
Li's death comes after the high-profile case of blind activist Chen Guangcheng, whose escape from village confinement and subsequent flight to freedom in the United States became a diplomatic flashpoint and raised global awareness of China's poor human rights record.
The Information Center for Human Rights & Democracy said a number of rights activists, lawyers and citizens had arrived in Shaoyang to assist the family in its bid for justice, but many were unreachable and had probably been detained by authorities.
"It's very difficult to accept the official explanation of events," said Wen Yunchao, a prominent Chinese blogger and journalist now based in Hong Kong who helped initiate the online petition.
Several dozen activists and lawmakers in Hong Kong protested outside Beijing's liaison office, carrying white flowers.
Just last week, Li had said in a television interview that he'd never regretted his fight for justice.
"The souls of the martyrs deserve to finally find some peace," said Li, referring to the Tiananmen Square protests and the subsequent crackdown in which hundreds, if not thousands, were killed.

James Corrigan: Puritans are just taking the Pistorius
The Last Word: Hysteria over 'cheating' should not be allowed to keep an inspirational athlete out of the Olympics
James Corrigan
James Corrigan writes about golf and other sports for The Independent.
Sunday 24 July 2011
Witch-hunting must become an Olympic sport. And why not introduce it in time for London 2012? After all, the build-up is already dominated by the search for evil athletes mixing their wicked concoctions, and it would be a shame if the grand climax did not feature at least one of the accused being set on fire or dunked in water.
May I put forward Oscar Pistorius, the South African 400 metres runner. He has already overcome one trial by ordeal, so I'm positive he could cope with another. This double amputee has the effrontery to gain an advantage over his poor, fully able rivals by leaping around on prosthetic limbs made ofcarbon, which very probably come complete with turbo-boosters.
At the moment The Blade Runner– to use his moniker of the coven – is eligible to compete at the Games, but surely the authorities will come to their senses. Further investigations are plainly required, as a few facts need checking: a) could he run that fast if he hadn't so cynically had his legs chopped off as a cravenly ambitious 11-month-old?; b) if Roger Black had had the operation and gone for the blades, would he would have beaten Michael Johnson?; and c) does Oscar own a black cat?
It is impossible not to take the Pistorius after the reaction of many to his time of 45.07sec on Tuesday evening, which earned passage to this year's World Championships as well as next year's Olympics. Instead of rejoicing in one of life's more fantastical successes and speculating what this could do for disabled sports, they filled the message boards with cries for retribution.
They referred to a "flawed" Court of Arbitration of Sport decision in 2008, after the IAAF crassly ruled Pistorius ineligible to compete at the Beijing Olympics. They pointed to the defence's scientists, who have since changed their mind on the effectiveness of Pistorius's Cheetah Flex-Foot contraptions. They reached the conclusion that the governing body should ban "the fastest man on no legs". Sentiment should play no part in it, they said.
But why shouldn't it? Why are so many sports fans so keen to focus on the precedent and not on the person? How have we become so hardened to what should, essentially, be about enjoyment? The answer is, of course, Seoul 1988 and Ben Johnson, that original sporting witch.
As soon as he crossed that line in that chemically inspired time of 9.79sec the wheels were set in motion for hysteria to take over. Every cheat was to be unearthed; there would be zero tolerance. Those good men on their trusty white steeds were going to clean up sport once and for all.
And where are we, 23 years later? Not far from where we started. In fact, we are a few 100m back from where we started. Not only are some of the guilty still getting away with it, but we are in the mess where some of the innocent aren't getting away with doing nothing.
Take the example of Albert Subirats last week. Not many would have heard of the appalling treatmentof the Venezuelan swimmer, and because we are all so damned sanctimonious about drug punishments even fewer of us would have cared. Subirats, the first athlete from his country to win a World Championship medal, was banned for one year on the "whereabouts" rule, whichrequires athletes to keep the anti-dopers informed of their location. Fina, the governing body of swimming, accept Subirats informed his nationalassociation of his whereabouts and that between the two organisations there was a clerical error. Yet the ban stands. Why? No tolerance – it's the athlete's responsibility.
Meanwhile, at around the same time as that stunning verdict, the Court of Arbitration for Sport were clearing another swimmer, the doubleworld record-holder Cesar Cielo. Cielo failed a drugs test, but argued that his normal supplements had been cross-contaminated. Why such tolerance for the Brazilian? Because the rulebook, that blessed bible for the anti-dopers, allows a little in the case of positive tests.
And there you have it. One athlete fails no test; he is banned. Another athlete fails a test; he isn't banned. If you would like to see where all that moral panic has taken sport, it is contained in this grotesque anomaly and in the disgusting truth that, as the rules stand, Subirats will not be allowed to compete in London.
Still, the self-righteous will sleep easier, just as they will if Pistorius is stopped from realising his dream. "Better that one innocent athlete suffers than 10 guilty athletes escape" – it is sport's new motto.
Furore over Rory is blast of hot air
Apart from all his other gifts, Rory McIlroy has the power to say exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. But that doesn't automatically mean he is wrong.
Indeed, some of us believe that he was essentially correct a few years ago when he referred to the Ryder Cup as "an exhibition" that should be a long way down a professional's priority list, way beneath the majors. And all of us should think him spot-on in his assessment of the Open, which offended so many last Sunday.
Basically, all McIlroy was saying when he came off Royal St George's frustrated by a tie for 25th was that he has more chance of winning the Claret Jug when it isn't windy. Straight away, his previously unimpeachable credentials to become one of the greats were questioned. But why? Haven't they ever heard of Tiger Woods?
The second most successful player in the history of golf isn't best suited to the blowy stuff either. Yet he has won three Opens. How could that be? Maybe because Woods happened to prevail when the conditions were calm. On both occasions at the Old Course (in 2000 and 2005) the gusts rivalled the women members of the R&A for number, while at Hoylake in 2006 the only discernible wind emanated from the Men's Bar.
To paraphrase McIlroy: "Woods waited for the years when the weather was nice." It didn't do him any harm and it probably won't do Rory any harm either. Furthermore, it will not be about the young Ulsterman "learning to play in the wind". It will be about the young Ulsterman "learning not to be honest with the media". In fact, just like Tiger Woods.

A perennially provocative question was raised this week in The Wall Street Journal: "Do parents who serve teens beer and wine at home raise responsible drinkers?" According to a recent government report, nearly 6 percent of 12- to 14-year-olds have had a drink in the last month. Of those, nearly half drank at home, and 16 percent got the booze from mom or dad. Research on whether parent-enabled drinking affects kids' binge drinking is inconclusive and contradictory, but some parents say that allowing kids to drink at home is a safer option that encourages moderation. Are they right?
No, this exacerbates teen drinking problems: These enabling parents ought to reconsider, says Buddy T at About.com. "Early onset drinking is by far the best predictor of developing alcoholism in the future." Studies show that kids who start drinking before the age of 15 are six times more likely to have problems with alcohol than those who don't start drinking until they turn 21. It doesn't help if parents provide the booze.
"Early drinkers end up with problems"
It's not that simple: This whole issue is murky, says KJ Dell'Antonia at Slate. Teens who drink alongside their parents are less likely to binge drink, but those who drink alcohol supplied by parents are more likely to binge. "As with nearly everything else to do with parenting, there is no conclusive right answer, in part because there are so many variables." Thankfully, my kids are still young.
"Should you teach your kids to drink?"
Yes, parents should teach kids to drink: "The reason most teenagers take that first sip is simply because they aren't supposed to," says Matt Kiebus at Death + Taxes. Instead of making drinking an alluring taboo, parents should teach their kids "the delicate art of responsible drinking." Sure, it's a fine line "between teaching responsible drinking and enabling a bad precedent," but it's a parental obligation to provide a guiding hand when it comes to alcohol.

Mississippi Joins Online Poker Race
State Lawmaker Introduces Bill This Week
Mississippi has joined the race to be an early player in statewide online gaming.
The Mississippi Lawful Internet Gaming Act of 2012, which says it's in response to the recent Department of Justice flip-flop, would allow existing licensees to offer Internet wagering. Sites would pay a monthly five-percent fee on gross revenue.
Before an online site could operate, the Mississippi Gaming Commission would adopt rules for the industry.
According to the Commission, the state, which first legalized gambling in 1990, has 30 casino licensees and takes in gross gaming revenue of more than $2 billion annually. The casinos have about 160 poker tables collectively.
Caesars Entertainment, Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts have casino interests in Mississippi. All three entities will likely be involved in Nevada online poker.
While Mississippi is just trying to enter the mix, Nevada is steamrolling ahead with its plans to have the nation's first intrastate industry. The rules are effectively done, and Silver State regulators just need to license companies.
Other jurisdictions where online gaming interest has surfaced publicly in the past include New Jersey, The District of Columbia, California, Hawaii, Ohio, Connecticut, North Dakota, Florida and Iowa, which appears to be the furthest along after Nevada.
On Wednesday, Iowa lawmakers sent an online poker bill one step deeper into the legislature, according to the Globe Gazette. The state commissioned a study of the industry late last year.
Efforts for a federal online gaming bill have stalled on Capitol Hill, but some gaming attorneys have said that the door has already been cracked open for possible state coalitions, which would help create larger player pools.
