ORLANDO, Fla. - Tiger Woods finally brought the buzz back to the very thing that made him famous - winning. Two weeks after another injury scare, and two days before his former coach's book goes on sale, Woods looked dominant as ever in that red shirt on Sunday to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
BEIJING - A Chinese zoo official said two rare cubs born to a male lion and a female tiger are being nursed by a dog after they were abandoned by their mother. Cong Wen, of Xixiakou Wildlife Zoo in eastern China, said four cubs called ligers were born to the lion and tiger earlier this month.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Tanya Peterson had been acting director of the San Francisco Zoo for little more than a month when she stood in the zoo's Great Hall in August and addressed the employees who were still - she was surprised to find - traumatized by the Christmas Day tiger attack. Not only were some dealing with nightmares and feelings of guilt and fear after the escaped tiger killed a San Jose teenager and injured two of his friends, she said, but many were questioning whether the zoo still had a purpose. With attendance and donations plunging, plus pressure from a county supervisor to convert the facility into an animal-rescue sanctuary, some worried the zoo might not survive. Even the birth of three tiger cubs in the spring didn't pull the staff out of its funk.

I foresee a national holiday -- Dec. 2, Tabloid Day. Wednesday, after all, was the day the Tiger Woods case bloomed into full whack-a-mole glory: While Tiger finally and belatedly expressed remorse on his Web site, the number of hostess types "linking" to him swelled to three and a former editor of Men's Fitness magazine charged that the only way the magazine landed Tiger for its cover was that Tiger was, in effect, blackmailed into it by a threatened extramarital expose in the rag's bullying corporate Big Brother, the National Enquirer.
