Golf-Woods' former swing coach writes Tiger tales
Jan 8 (Reuters) - "The Big Miss", a book written by Tiger Woods' former swing coach Hank Haney, will be released in March and offer a personal account of the six tumultuous years they spent together before the golfer's life imploded in scandal.
The book, described as a "candid and surprisingly insightful account" by publishers Crown Archetype at Random House, Inc., reviews the highly successful partnership between Haney and Woods which led to six major championship victories.
However, the book also addresses Haney's two biggest challenges while working as swing coach for 14-times major winner Woods - arguably the greatest player of all time.
"Always haunting Tiger was his fear of 'the big miss' - the wildly inaccurate golf shot that can ruin an otherwise solid round," Crown Archetype said in a synopsis of the book on the Random House, Inc. website.
"It was because that type of blunder was sometimes part of Tiger's game that Hank carefully redesigned his swing mechanics."
The book will be published March 27, a week before the 2012 Masters.
Haney's biggest task was to try and solve "the riddle of Tiger's personality", Crown Archetype said.
"Wary of the emotional distractions that might diminish his game and put him further from his goals, Tiger had developed a variety of tactics to keep people from getting too close, and not even Hank - or Tiger's family and friends, for that matter - was spared 'the treatment'.
"Toward the end of Tiger and Hank's time together, the champion's laser-like focus began to blur and he became less willing to put in punishing hours practising - a disappointment to Hank, who saw in Tiger's behaviour signs that his pupil had developed a conflicted relationship with the game."
SIX-YEAR PARTNERSHIP
Haney took over as Woods' swing coach in March 2004 and over the next six years he helped the American win 31 PGA Tour events, including the six major titles.
In late 2009, Woods' life on and off the course was seismically transformed following revelations of his marital infidelities. He parted company with Haney a month after the 2010 Masters, where he tied for fourth after a self-imposed, five-month exile from the game.
During those six years, however, Haney enjoyed a unique front seat as Woods maintained his position as the world's leading player.
Haney was with Woods for 110 days a year, spoke to him for more than 200 days a year and stayed at the player's Florida home for up to 30 days a year.
He observed Woods in a wide variety of circumstances, including during tournaments, on the practice range, over meals, with the player's former wife and while relaxing with friends.
Haney, who had succeeded Butch Harmon as Woods's swing coach, described his liaison with the game's top player as "a dream come true" after the two parted ways in May 2010.
He added: "I will always appreciate the opportunity that I have had to contribute to his successes. However, I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger's coach."
Haney has since been replaced as Woods' swing coach by Canadian Sean Foley. (Reporting by Mark Lamport-Stokes in Los Angeles; Editing by Frank Pingue; To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)

Giffords leads Tucson shooting anniversary remembrance (Reuters)
TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) ? Bells tolled, girls in white dresses danced and Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance on Sunday, one year after a shooting spree that claimed six lives and left her gravely wounded.
Giffords, still recuperating from the head wound she suffered in the shooting, topped off a daylong series of anniversary tributes and remembrances by attending a candlelight vigil with her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly.
The Arizona Democrat drew rousing applause and cheers from several thousand people gathered on the grassy central mall of the University of Arizona campus, as she slowly ascended the stairs of a stage, turned and waved smiling at the crowd.
Wearing a red scarf, Giffords took her seat, and a few minutes later rose again to lead the assembly in a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in a clear, strong voice, adding a forceful emphasis to the last few words, "with liberty and justice for all."
Kelly stood beside his wife with an arm around her, helping to place and hold her right hand, weakened from paralysis, over her heart as she spoke. The crowd erupted again in cheers when she finished.
Survivors and relatives of the victims then took turns lighting 19 large candles in glass jars, one for each of the six people killed and 13 others wounded when a pistol-toting assailant opened fire at Giffords' "Congress On Your Corner" meet-and-greet for constituents on January 8, 2011.
The dead included a 9-year-old girl, a federal judge and a member of Giffords' staff. The accused gunman, Jared Loughner, 23, a college dropout with a history of mental illness, is charged with 49 offenses, including first-degree murder and the attempted assassination of Giffords.
Late on Saturday, Giffords returned for the first time to the scene of the bloodbath, paying a surprise visit with her husband to the Tucson supermarket where she was gunned down that day.
'EXTENDED FAMILY'
Pat Maisch, an onlooker who wrenched a clip of bullets from the assailant's hand after he was tackled, was one of several speakers who addressed more than 1,000 people who filled a university auditorium earlier on Sunday to hear reflections honoring those killed and wounded in the attack.
She called the people present in the grocery store parking lot that day her "new extended family," recounting how shoppers and other bystanders immediately rushed to render first aid, calm shocked victims and comfort the wounded until medical personnel arrived.
"These are our first, first responders -- ordinary citizens," she said.
The official anniversary memorials began with the citywide ringing of bells at 10:11 a.m. local time on Sunday, the exact moment that the shooting erupted one year ago.
Several hundred congregants, including survivors of the shooting and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, later gathered for a mid-day interfaith service at Tucson's St. Augustine Cathedral, presided over by Catholic priests, a rabbi and Buddhist monks.
A Navajo flutist performed and a group of young girls and teens dressed in white danced through the cathedral.
"It was a beautiful service," survivor Ron Barber, Giffords' district director, said afterward, as he leaned on a cane. "The dancing, the singing, the readings, they were kind of what the community was about, which is people all coming together in unity, compassion and love."
Later at the university campus, Barber recounted how bystander Dorwan Stoddard was killed while shielding his wife, Mavanell, with his own body. "She told me she saw a smile on his face as he lay dying, and she says this was a smile of love for her," Barber said.
Barber suffered wounds to his face and thigh in the shooting. Among those joining him at the cathedral was Daniel Hernandez Jr., the congressional intern credited with applying first aid that saved Giffords' life.
An emotional high point of the late-afternoon assembly on campus came as two girls who were best friends and classmates of Christina-Taylor Green, the 9-year-old killed in the shooting, recalled how the three youngsters had all secretly vowed to attend the University of Arizona together.
"Sometimes we would just go to the park and lay on our backs and just chill and look at the clouds," recounted one of the girls, Jamie Stone.
Gary Huckleberry, whose daughter was traumatized by having witnessed the shooting, emerged from an earlier service at St. Philip's in the Hills, an Episcopal parish near the scene of the rampage, saying he found the remembrances therapeutic.
"A lot of us have come a long way since that date a year ago. For some people it will take much more time to get over it, but having this service ... was healing," he said.
Giffords' appearance on Sunday night culminated an emotional day for Tucson, a southern Arizona city of 520,000 people that many describe as a "small big town."
"For the past year, we've had new realities to deal with," Kelly told the crowd of several thousand who formed an undulating sea of multicolored glow-sticks handed out to people attending the vigil.
Reflecting on how loved ones can be lost and lives shattered in an instant, he added, "And that is a reality we can do nothing about."
At the conclusion of the vigil, Barber took the stage to thank his boss for appearing at the event, as the crowd broke into a spontaneous chant of "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby," which a beaming Giffords, herself, joined in briefly.
Loughner, who was arrested at the scene of the shooting, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him but was later confined to the psychiatric ward of a prison hospital after he was declared incompetent to stand trial.

How can people honestly think that reem stands a chance against junior dos santos???
[unable to retrieve full-text content]
Source: www.sherdog.net --- Wednesday, January 04, 2012
Look at juniors record and look at overeems padded record, reem is known to have a pretty weak chin so the only way i see reem winning is if, by mirracle jds decides he doesnt wannna throw punches or maybe he catches a guillotine while in the clinch, i seriously doubt overeem has a fair chance of beating him, even with knees jds is pretty elusive and isnt gonna let him just clinch him n knee him like he did to lesnar, the only way reem wins is by some mistake or something otherwise this is juniors fight to win...and with this fight won he would have pretty much beat all the top guys in his division ...

Simple online tool to aid GPs in early ovarian cancer diagnosis

The lives of hundreds of women could be saved every year, thanks to a simple online calculator that could help GPs identify women most at risk of having ovarian cancer at a much earlier stage.
Academics from The University of Nottingham and ClinRisk Ltd have developed a new QCancer algorithm using the UK QResearch database. The new algorithm assesses a combination of patients' symptoms and risk factors to red flag those most likely to have ovarian cancer and enable them to be referred for further investigation or treatment at a much earlier stage.
A study into the effectiveness of the algorithm, published online this week at BMJ.com, has shown that it was successful in predicting almost two-thirds of ovarian cancers in the 10 per cent of women who were most at risk of having the disease over a two year period.
Leading the research, Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox, said: "Ovarian cancer is notoriously difficult to spot and we hope that this new tool will help GPs identify patients most at risk of having ovarian cancer for early referral and investigations."
Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women worldwide and affects around 6,700 women in the UK every year, one of the highest rates in Europe. Most women are diagnosed when the disease is already at an advanced stage, meaning that in many cases their chances of surviving for five years after diagnosis can be as low as six per cent.
Less than one-third of women are diagnosed in the first stages of the disease but of those 90 per cent will survive to five years, showing that earlier diagnosis and treatment can have a dramatic impact on the patient's chances of survival.
However, GPs are faced with the tough challenge of making a correct diagnosis as early as possible for a disease which has few established risk factors and a range of non-specific symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal pain which could also point to a number of less serious and more common conditions.
For the study, the academics used anonymous data from 564 GPs surgeries using the QResearch database system a not-for-profit partnership between The University of Nottingham and leading GPs systems supplier EMIS.
They included information for female patients aged 30 to 84 who had not previously been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and did not have one of a number of 'red flag' symptoms in the previous 12 months.
They assessed risk factors including age, family history, previous diagnosis of other forms of cancer, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal distension, rectal bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding and anaemia to predict which patients were most at risk of having ovarian cancer and combined these in the risk prediction algorithm.
The tool was successful in predicting 63 per cent of all ovarian cancers over the following two years which were in the top 10 per cent of women found to be most at risk.
In addition to detecting cancer at an earlier stage, the tool could help GPs to direct their scarce resources such as ultrasonography, MRI scans and blood tests, to the patients more urgently in need of further investigation.
It is in line with current Government policy and the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI) a public/third sector partnership between the Department of Health, National Cancer Action Team and Cancer Research UK.
The simple web-based calculator http://www.qcancer.org/ovary is designed for doctors but a simpler version could also be made available on the internet to raise awareness among the general public and to prompt women with risk factors or symptoms to seek advice from their doctor. It could also be integrated into GP clinical computer systems for use during the consultation or for identifying patients with combinations of symptoms needing further assessment.
Similar scores using QResearch have already proven effective in previous research in identifying patients at most risk of developing lung cancer, gastro-oesophageal cancer, bowel cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fractures, kidney disease and serious blood clots.
Professor Hippisley-Cox added: "We are very grateful for the continuing support of the EMIS GP practices that contribute their high quality data to QResearch. Without them, our research would not be possible."
