AUGUSTA, Ga. – It was all there on the first tee, the whole spectrum. Love. Hate. Golf.
Above, high and straight ahead, a small airplane buzzed in the sky like a persistent mosquito, with a banner fluttering behind, a reference to both the golfer’s religion and misdeeds: “Tiger Did You Mean Bootyism?” But then Woods struck that first drive, firm and true, a safe fade that went right-side fairway, and one of his supporters in the gallery screamed with absolute, Southern-accented glee, “He got it done! He got it done!”
Woods got it done Thursday at the Masters, shot a solid, late-afternoon 68 under wet, swirling conditions – the first sub-70 opening round of his career at the Masters. He finished just two strokes back of leader Fred Couples, with six golfers ahead of him. If Tiger couldn’t make people forget the past four months, perhaps he made them remember the last 15 years.
That counted for something to a lot of fans who wanted so desperately to cling to a pristine athletic image rather than to a disturbed behavioral paradigm. This was Tiger as they recalled him: sleek, sure and unsullied.
“It felt normal,” he kept saying, and of course that is what he would want now more than anything else. Woods insisted the day meant nothing more to him than a 68, on a course with generous front-of-the-green pin placements.
“It meant I’m two shots off the lead, that’s what it means,” he said. “I’m here to play a golf tournament.”
It can’t be that easy for him, can it? Did Woods really hear only the cheers from the gallery along the course, while missing that message from the airplane above?
Tiger acknowledged the galleries along the way, held his temper. He was the model citizen around Amen Corner. But it is only the beginning of the way back for him. In some ways, Woods really can’t win anything here at Augusta other than a fifth green jacket.
If Woods continues to play this well, he may be portrayed as a robot unconcerned with his victims, immune to the disease of his own sins. If he plays poorly, he will have frittered away his God-given talent in the most unseemly manner.
For now, it looks like the robot theory may hold. Woods showed very little rust or damage from the torrent of scandals. He might even have shot a 65 if three of his putts hadn’t tickled the cup without dropping. “I just kept tugging the putts,” he said. “I got to get that thing moving.”
For those who wished to remember the miracle worker inside him, there was the ninth hole, where Tiger used nature against itself. From the rough on the left, with a tree between his ball and the green, his 5-iron shot somehow got just enough lift and then curled left with the wind to drop within birdie distance of the cup.
He was among the leaders, poised to make a weekend run. And the other golfers figured that was not so much of a shock.
“Am I surprised to see Tiger Woods on the leaderboard?” asked Stewart Cink. “Boy, have we gone a long way. No, I’m not surprised.”
There are happier, more remarkable stories than Tiger at Augusta, like Tom Watson at age 60 coming in at 5-under and Fred Couples, 50, leading with a 66. They aren’t Tiger Woods, though. They didn’t come here with the world on their tail. They weren’t the predator turned prey.
For five hours yesterday, Woods went out there on the most famous golf course in the world, between the ropes, and shook his pursuers, finally. There was only himself, his partners Matt Kuchar and K.J. Choi, and the well-wishers in the gallery.
The media, the airplane, all the mosquitoes … they couldn’t spoil his view, or his viewpoint.
“I normally do feel pretty good on the golf course,” Woods said. “Sometimes it’s a little bit difficult at home when helicopters are flying over, taking pictures, but normally I do feel pretty good.”
There was that word again – normal.
“I said, ‘Thank you,’ all day,” Woods said.

Camilo Villegas has made a solid start to the 2010 US Masters, carding a first round two-over-par 74 at the Augusta National.
The Colombian – who finished tied 13th in his last Masters outing – got off to a horrendous start as he found himself two over after just four holes. The 28-year-old soon got his game together though, and finished the day in easy reach of the cut.
The man from Medellin is in good company too, as he sits tied with fellow hopefuls, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and playing partner, Rory McIlroy, eight shots behind leader Fred Couples. Villegas tees off today with Kenny Perry and McIlroy at 14:40 (BST) hoping a good round will put him firmly in contention.
Elsewhere, Couples rolled back the years as he shot a six-under-par 66, to take the outright lead, one shot ahead of Lee Westwood, Phil Mickleson, Tom Watson, KJ Choi and YE Yang. The 1992 champion is enjoying a successful rookie season on the Seniors Tour, but even he didn’t believe he could shoot a 66.
“I think it’s by far the best round I have had here,” he said.
“I felt very stiff, the wind was blowing so hard and I felt really tight. But I made a lot of putts. We still have to come out tomorrow and play really well on a really hard golf course.”
Tiger Woods is lurking a further shot behind on his return to competitive golf. The world number one produced some memorable shots on his way to a 68, his best first-round score in 15 Masters tournaments.

Scott Becker Looking For April,Scott Robert Becker Looking For April:Scott Becker Looking for April” was the opening line of AprilBecker.com, a website that Scott Becker used to find daughter April Becker.
“Scott Becker Looking for April” was what April Becker (now April Becker Antoniou) found five days ago while searching her name online. To her surprise, she had found her dad. Today they are reunited.
Thirty years ago, Dr Becker started searching for his daughter. He had no luck. Private investigators just took his money. Scott Becker spent $40,000 and got no leads. Finally 10 years ago he thought of creating a website in the hope that maybe one day April would search her name online. This week she did.
The “Scott Becker Looking for April” website reads as follows”
“April Joi (Joy) Becker
“Dear April, When you read this, please send an email to: april@aprilbecker.com. I’m your dad and I would really like to talk to ya. When I get your email, I will ask you a couple of questions that only you would know so I can filter out the crazies out there. By the way, You have a lil sister that REALLY wants to talk to you 
Dad Scott Robert Becker.”
Antoniou’s Facebook page is updated to read, “you think I could have … [searched] that 7 years ago and saved myself the yearly torment. But, it all happens when it happens for a reason. I’m still in shock. I was at the point where I just figured I would never meet him. Glad I was wrong. And glad he was actually still looking, after all this time.more details Lalate

Droid Phone Reviews,Droid Accessories:We’re getting this out of the way now: Motorola’s Droid is the best Google phone on the market.
Maybe that’s not saying a whole lot. The Droid’s only competitors in the U.S. are T-Mobile’s 1-year-old G1, its chubby younger brother the MyTouch 3G and HTC’s Droid Eris, a $99 Verizon Wireless phone that comes out Friday — the same day as the Motorola Droid -- with an already-outdated Android operating system.
Here’s another one: Droid is the best phone on Verizon.
As we wrote last week, the Droid marks a notable shift for the nation’s largest carrier. Verizon — often renowned for its service, not its selection of phones — seems to be wisely minimizing its interference with handset makers.
What we get is an attractive and fast smart phone packed to the brim with features for $199 (with a two-year contract).
The Droid hardware is a technical feat. It has a 5-megapixel camera with a flash that doesn’t perform exceptionally well but still pretty great for a phone. The speaker is pleasantly loud. The touch-screen screen is gorgeous — larger than the iPhone’s with way more pixels per inch.
Oh, and it has a keyboard.
After spending plenty of time with the iPhone and MyTouch, we realized just how much we don’t miss physical keyboards. Granted, the Droid’s isn’t as nice as most Blackberry keyboards. We spewed just as many typos on the Droid’s black-and-white-and-brown keyboard as we did on software keyboards. Only problem is that we’re not offered automatic corrections like we get on the touch-screen keyboard.
Impressively, the slide-out keyboard doesn’t add much thickness compared with the iPhone — the Droid is only slightly bigger and noticeably heavier. The keyboard is a nice option (geeks will enjoy the pro shortcuts), but if you’re not digging it, you never have to pull it out.
Motorola takes a step back with its navigation buttons. Competing Android phones use a scroll ball — you know, that little nub that makes the Blackberry so good for e-mail. Instead, the Droid opts for a four-way rocker navigation with a center button, which sits next to the keyboard and provides little utility.more details http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/11/droid-review.html

New Mexico Soccer Elizabeth Lambert,Elizabeth Lambert:A female version off Vinny Jones has been suspended for her infractions during a 1-0 loss to Brigham Young in a Mountain West Conference semifinal. It seems the Mexico soccer player has become an Internet celebrity for the wrong reasons.
Liz Lambert threw elbows, collided with several players, and then yanked the ponytail of BYU player Kassidy Shumway, who went crashing to the ground. Lambert has now apologized for her behavior she said “my actions were uncalled for; I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. This is in no way indicative of my character or the soccer player I am. ”
New Mexico coach Kit Vela said “Liz is a quality student and athlete, but in this instance, her actions clearly crossed the line of fair play and good sportsmanship.” Lambert was the only player to be yellow carded in the game, which came in the 77th minute for colliding with a BYU player who was driving toward the net.
After watching the video on a recent post, the question I would like to know is why the referee has not been suspended, just in the short clip that I saw Lambert should off received 4 yellow cards, and two straight red cards. Why not take a look at the clip and let us know your thoughts. She may have a future in UFC.
