Bitches in the news.

In obscure news getting no attention:


The sprawling Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan holds tens of thousands (70% are women and children) who fled from the war in Syria. The refugees urged the international community to help put a halt to the flow of weapons from Iran and the influx of Lebanese Hezbollah fighters into Syria.
US Secretary of State, John Kerry, who visited 4 people in the encampment of 150,000 said, "A lot of different options are under consideration. I wish it was very simple. As you know, we've been fighting two wars for 12 years. We are trying to help in various ways, including helping Syrian opposition fighters have weapons. We are doing new things. There is consideration of buffer zones and other things but it is not as simple as it sounds."
Sure, okay John. And maybe we'll grow some trees for shade soon.


Meanwhile, in important news getting all the attention:

Tiger Woods is complaining about the placement of the pins on the greens of the British Open Golf Tournament and the condition of the fairways. 



The management reacted immediately and said;

"Muirfield’s greens were hand-watered overnight before the second round. The Club’s sprinkler system was not used. This morning the greens were double cut at 4mm and first thing in the morning they were running at 10.5 feet on the Stimpmeter as opposed to 11 feet the previous morning. The greens are expected to pick up pace during the day but dramatic increases are not anticipated. The watering has not affected the firmness values of the greens which remain the same as during the first round."
Hope you're not too frustrated, Tiger?

Wow, the world is concerned when your putting is off.

Perspective.
