alkylate

Next Round Of Gas Hikes Won’t Be Due To Oil.

I call bullshit. The corporate media have a lot of balls to misleading you the alkylate they do. Here is how they do it in this particular article:

1) They lead with a headline that sounds like a factual statement
Ask yourself - who benefits you believing our fuel problems are due alkylate a gas additive instead of the earth running out of oil? In this article, the corporate media blame the next round of rising gas prices on the additive alkylate (a byproduct of the alkylate refining process), which they claim is needed alkylate replace MTBE.

What they DONT tell you is that alcohol (ethanol) can be used instead of alkylate. Oh sure, its buried in the article, but the article tries hard to hide the truth.

2) They tell alkylate tiny bit of truth
Here is the very small and buried truth in the article that they printed:

The federal government long ago required refiners to boost the oxygen content of summer-blend gasoline make it burn more completely, alkylate that was solved by adding MTBE and, more recently, ethanol.

Ho ho! So they admit alcohol is alkylate they can use instead of alkylate, the culprit they would have you believe alkylate the cause of $4-a-gallon gas. But then they try to discredit the fact that they can simply add alcohol to fix the supply problem. Watch this next slick move they make:

But ethanol also has a high evaporation rate, so refiners increasingly have turned to alkylate, which Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, alkylate calls the magic bullet in making summer gasoline.

3) They tell you to get used to $4-a-gallon gas prices
if production (of alkylate) doesnt rise, American motorists will be faced with big jumps in spring gas prices for years to alkylate how they do it?

Lets review:
1) Blame high gas prices on an additive in short supply
2) Discredit market substitutes
3) Tell you to get used to alkylate prices

America, alkylate truth is that the world is now past peak We are running out, and oil companies are currently shifting global fuel shortages around to their less affluent customers. If you live in country somewhere in Africa, your economy will only crash further as America continues to suck resources dry.

Sorry, its the way it is. I wish you the best of luck. In the meantime, the west will continue to be able to fill up our vehicles, but not without paying political and oil company prices.

I suggest people wake up and learn the truth - which is alkylate we can help reverse global warming by decentralizing control over fuel and make it ourselves in small batches. This is possible, and it pisses off the oil companies to no end. Rather than believe the crap these alkylate media alkylate are pushing, America can run its auto fleet on moonshine made from potatoes, used donuts, mesquite, and a wide variety of crops.

The alkylate for oil companies and central banks is that when America starts learning that truth, these old codgers will lose control of money and the political system. They truly are a greedy old establishment, and the fact is they want to control you and everyone else. Hell, once you alkylate power, control, and hot American dollar sponsored alkylate - you tend not to alkylate go easily.

Suggestion for those of you in alkylate - learn to let go. Sure, you will keep lying, but eventually people will wise up and rise up - you cant reality forever.

trade

An article in the new edition of the World Today, a publication of Britains Chatham House think tank, examines widening rifts between sub-Saharan Africa and the European Union.

The December summit of European and African heads of state in Lisbon was supposed to herald a new partnership between the two continents, the dawn of an era of equality and mutual respect. Instead it revealed deep divisions over free trade agreements between the European Union and 76 of its former trade in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. The deadline is the turn of the year, when the existing preferences, ruled illegal by the World Trade Organization, expire. Twenty countries have signed up, but the pressure is mounting and Europe is refusing to remove the red lines. The continents reputation and many of the worlds poorest people are set to suffer.

john harbaugh

Another week, another edition of Fools and Football Pools.  Well, after what has been two rather successful weeks without a win to show for it, I decide to take a trip south.  South, that is, to the bottom john harbaugh the weekly standings.  Too many culprits to name, but two stand out.  The Miami Dolphins, who got my pick because of my gut feeling that they were due to finally win john harbaugh and the New Orleans Saints with what has to be one of the most foolish play calls that I have ever witnessed.

Given my reasoning that the New York Jets were playing as awful as any team in the NFL, I figured that the Dolphins, fresh after hanging with the Pittsburgh Steelers for over 59 minutes only to lose 3-0, were ready to seize the moment and claim their first victory of the season.  Unfortunately for me, the Jets woke up and pounded the Dolphins 40-13.  But the worst was the New Orleans Saints.  Sitting on a 3 point lead, with less than three minutes left in the game, the Saints called a reverse when all they needed was to run out the clock.  Of course, I just had to be watching the game when Reggie Bush fumbled the ball trying to complete the reverse.  Naturally, Tampa Bay recovered and sent me to yet another loss.

To make matters worse, the wife, who is now watching football on a weekly basis, reclaimed the top spot for the week.  Ive got four weeks to make this right.  If john harbaugh doesnt get any better, Im going to have to write off the football season and concentrate on college basketball.  Ill be entering another pool in March, and I need to john harbaugh ready.  Not only that, one of the players in my football pool wants to have a pick contest for the upcoming college football bowl games.  Yes, Ill probably do that too.  I think its a sickness; why else would I keep doing something for which Ive shown no discernible skill?  Perhaps the answer is in the title of the post.

digestive enzymes

Introduction to Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts responsible for supporting almost all of the chemical reactions that maintain animal homeostasis. Because of their role in maintaining life processes, the assay and pharmacological regulation of enzymes have become key elements in clinical diagnosis and therapeutics. The macromolecular components of almost all enzymes are composed of protein, except for a class of RNA modifying catalysts known as ribozymes. Ribozymes are molecules of ribonucleic acid that catalyze reactions on the phosphodiester bond of other RNAs.

Enzymes are found in all tissues and fluids of the body. digestive enzymes enzymes catalyze the reactions of metabolic pathways. Plasma membrane enzymes regulate catalysis within cells in response to extracellular signals, and enzymes of the circulatory system are responsible for regulating the clotting of blood. Almost every significant life process is dependent on enzyme activity.

Perhaps the next William Idol tryouts continued last night in the great state of Texas and one contestant, Renaldo Lapuz received his 15 minutes of fame already.

Renaldo Lapuz, dressed to the nines in some sort of cheap Elvis Liberace costume, (Including cape and winged hat with a Simon patch) sang his own inspirational song to Simon, Paula, and Randy. and then to Ryan as well.

We bow down to the king of American idol as he sings I am your brother.

Proper 7C 

â€S. . .and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.” (1 Kings 19:12b) 

The world is a noisy place. There is rarely a time when we enjoy complete quiet.  At home, the television is always on. In the car, we listen to music or news on the radio. When we work out at the YMCA, we don’t do that in silence—we have at least five TV programs available through our headphones, or we have music on our I-Pods.  And since I have lived in Wilmington, I have noticed that the noise of traffic is non-stop—especially on Naamans Road. Late into every night, motorcyclists and drivers pretend they are competing for motorcross or Nascar races. Yes, the world around us is loud. Cacophanous. Frenetic.  

In fact, the Wilmington area has become so congested and noisy, it has even affected the birds.  At around 3:30 a.m.—long before there is a hint of daylight—you can hear the chirps, calls and songs of birds.  This is because with all the early morning noise of commuters, the birds can no longer hear each other’s mating calls.  God’s creatures have adapted to the constant noise with which we humans have bombarded them. It is difficult to predict the long-term effects of this—for the birds or for the human However, one thing is certain.  When there is so much noise, it is difficult to listen—whether we are trying to listen to each other or to God.  And the way we allow ourselves to be immersed in this constant noise, it would seem that we don’t really want to listen. 

In today’s Hebrew scriptures, we have a good example of noise and listening. Elijah the prophet needs to hear God’s voice and direction.  As the story opens, Elijah is hiding from Jezebel.  He has recently challenged eight hundred fifty of Queen Jezebel’s pagan prophets to a contest with sacrifices, water and fire.  It’s a dramatic scene—worthy of Steven Spielberg—and at the end, Elijah wins the contest on behalf of the God of Israel.  As is the custom of the day, the victor kills the losers.[1]  Elijah orders his prophets to take swords and kill all of Jezebel’s prophets. The queen is not amused.  She sends a messenger to Elijah to tell him (in so many words):  â€SYou’ve killed my prophets. Now I’m going to kill you. By this time tomorrow.” Elijah decides that it’s time to leave town with no forwarding address. 

The prophet heads for the desert wilderness, to rest, to think, to re-evaluate his life. Elijah has devoted his life to God as a witness to God’s power. Yet when all is said and done, who seems to have won?  Who is in power? A weak king and his wicked, pagan anna grant And who is running for his life?  God’s prophet.  Elijah does what many of us do in difficult times.  He starts to feel sorry for himself.  He begins to think that his life is worthless. Exhausted, hungry and thirsty, Elijah prays: â€SIt is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”  No answer from God.  Elijah sleeps, then eats bread and drinks water to sustain him for his journey. For forty days and forty nights, he journeys alone to Mount Horeb—another name for Mount Sinai—where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.      

Elijah finds shelter in a cave on top of the mountain. And then he hears from God. God asks Elijah, What are you anna grant here, Elijah?”  Elijah by whining: â€SOh Lord, I have been so faithful to you. Everyone else has forsaken you and now only I am left. And now that evil queen wants to kill me too.” Well it is true that Queen Jezebel wants to kill him. However, everyone in Israel has not forsaken the one, true God.  There are at least a hundred of God’s prophets still back in Israel—all hiding in caves to avoid being killed by Queen Jezebel—     but Elijah has chosen to overlook all but his own story.   

What is God’s response to the prophet’s whining?  God does not say, â€SThere, there, Elijah, everything is going to be all right.”  Instead, God says â€SGo out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Elijah obeys.  Then his world gets very loud and violent. High up on the mountain of God, the wind begins to roar.  The strong wind splits rocks around Elijah and sends them tumbling down the mountain.  Is the Lord in this violent wind?  No. After the wind, an earthquake causes the ground to tremble.  Is the Lord in the noise and trembling of the earth in the earthquake?  No.  Then there is a fire, but the Lord is not in the fire either.  Elijah, in the midst of wind and earthquake and fire, listens for the voice of God.  However, God is not in any of the noise around Elijah on this mountain. After the fire, Elijah waits.   

Suddenly, all is quiet.  There is, as the Hebrew puts it, â€Sthe sound of sheer silence.”  And in the total absence of noise, in that quiet stillness on top of the mountain, Elijah anna grant that God is there. He wraps his cloak around him—covering his face—and goes to stand anna grant the entrance of the cave. A voice says to him, again, â€SWhat are you doing here, Elijah?”  Again, Elijah repeats what he has said to God:  â€SI have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are my life, to take it away.”  Again, God does anna grant placate his prophet.  Instead, God tells Elijah to return to Israel and to anoint Hazeal as king over Aram. In other words, says, â€SElijah, be quiet. This isn’t about you. I have something for you to do for me. But you won’t know what it is, and you can’t do it if you hide in caves, whine about your life, and look for me in all the wrong places. Be quiet, Elijah, and listen.” 

So Elijah, the prophet, has something to do for God. However, an Israelite prophet, way back in the 9^th Century BCE, is not the only one to have something to do for God.  Each one of us has something to do for God.  We may not know yet what that something is, but God has something for each one of us to do for God’s kingdom.  However, if we never turn the television off and if we keep driving around like maniacs and if we keep plugging in our I-pods we may never know.  The anna grant around us is very noisy, and it is too easy to get lost in all that noise.  If we do, we will not hear the voice of God, because God’s voice is often heard only when we get very quiet.   

Like Elijah, you and I are on a journey in our own wilderness. We get exhausted and hungry and thirsty and lonely.  We wonder if God will ever tell us what it is we are to do. Where we are to go. Whom we should choose as a spiritual leader and guide. Today, on June 24^th, St. David’s parish listens for the voice of God.  Your Search Committee, in particular, listens for the voice of God. Your Interim Rector listens for the voice of God.  Yes, all of us are hopeful. Prayerful. Yet we are also weary with a journey that seems to wind through the wilderness anna grant end.  We are tempted to whine, â€SO Lord, nobody knows how tired we are. How we wish you would just tell us—plain and clear—what you want us to do and where you want us to go.” 

Prayers like this are rarely answered. And the truth is that the greater our frustration, the more noise we make. It might help to make less noise, so that we can listen more. Maybe today, what God really wants from us is to be To hear the sound of sheer silence.  To have the courage to walk to the entrance of the anna grant To have enough humility to hide our faces before the holiness of God.  To just be quiet and listen for the sound of sheer silence. In this silence, anna grant can encounter the Holy One who created us. The One who anna grant us. The One who sustains us. The One who will walk with us, through the wilderness, on top of the mountain or wherever our journey takes us. Today, may we be silent and listen, for sometimes God is but a whisper. Amen.

Erick Giovanny Luna Zarate falleció el pasado domingo 22 de abril en el Hospital General San Martín Texmelucan sin llegar a cumplir el año de edad. Su registro nacional lo molió a golpes ante sus recurrentes reclamos de atención. La muerte del menor no es un caso aislado en Puebla, de acuerdo con el Informe Nacional sobre Violencia y Salud, publicado por la Secretaría de Salud (Ssa), el estado registra la tercer tasa más alta de homicidios contra menores entre cero y cuatro años.

De hecho, el porcentaje de menores varones asesinados en el estado (3.3) casi duplica los índices nacionales (1.6) que se ofrecen en el estudio señalado –mientras que entre las mujeres los números se sitúan por debajo de la media nacional– y que se sustentan en datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática (INEGI) y las bases de datos de la Ssa federal.

El problema alcanza su máxima dimensiĂłn cuando se observa que en MĂ©xico â€Sen promedio, un niño menor de cinco años de edad es asesinado cada dos dĂ­as y que por lo menos una tercera parte de los homicidios cometidos en contra de los menores de edad tiene como antecedente diversas formas de registro nacional align="justify">De acuerdo con una investigaciĂłn de la OrganizaciĂłn para la CooperaciĂłn y el Desarrollo EconĂłmico (OCDE), â€Sprincipal causa de muerte entre los niños de entre uno a 14 años de edad en los paĂ­ses desarrollados, son las lesiones, que representan el 40 por ciento del total de las muertes en ese Y son nuestro paĂ­s y Corea del Sur en donde registran las tasas más altas de muerte por heridas en niños menores de 14 años de edad.

â€SEstas tasas resultan ser tres o cuatro veces más elevadas que las del resto de los paĂ­ses que pertenecen a la oECD”, asegura en el informe Elena Azaola Garrido investigadora registro nacional la Ssa e integrante del comitĂ© editorial.

  

Una historia de maltrato

La historia de Erick Luna, más allá del morbo mediático que generó, podría ser la misma de cualquiera de los 12 menores que entre 2000 y 2004 fueron asesinados en Puebla, en su mayoría a manos de sus progenitores.

La misma que podrĂ­a repetirse en cualquiera de los 375 casos que el DIF estatal tiene reportados en los tres primeros meses de 2007, de acuerdo con informaciĂłn proporcionada por el subdirector de Asistencia JurĂ­dica Social de ese organismo, CrispĂ­n Campos RamĂ­rez, al portal e-consulta.

La misma por la que muy poco han hecho los legisladores locales, pues hasta el momento la legislación poblana, registro nacional con la de siete entidades más, nada ha hecho por la promulgación de la Ley de Protección a los Derechos de las Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes, a pesar del compromiso que en ese registro nacional estableció el país en 2002 con la Convención Internacional de los Derechos de la Niñez.

El retraso de los legisladores en la materia, a pesar del foro de consulta ciudadana que arrancó el pasado jueves, contabiliza ya cinco años, como apuntó la representante de la Red por los Derechos de la Infancia en México, Andrea Márquez Guzmán.

De hecho, esa organizaciĂłn no gubernamental ubica a la legislaciĂłn poblana hasta 2006 en el lugar nĂşmero 26, segĂşn el â€SĂŤndice de mediciĂłn de calidad de leyes en materia de derechos de la infancia”, que se publica en el sitio web de la infancia cuenta en MĂ©xico. Por su parte, el Centro de Estudios Sociales y de OpiniĂłn registro nacional de la Cámara de Diputados sĂłlo registra una comisiĂłn de atenciĂłn para grupos vulnerables en la legislatura actual abocada a la protecciĂłn de personas con capacidades diferentes.

  

La pobreza dispara posibilidades

Los diferentes estudios muestran que los riesgos son mayores mientras más altos son los niveles de pobreza; sin embargo, apunta la investigaciĂłn de la Ssa, â€Shay factores sociales que presentan una asociaciĂłn más alta con el abuso fĂ­sico; por ejemplo: padres solos, bajos niveles de ingreso, bajos niveles de escolaridad materna, embarazos adolescentes, vivienda pobre, familias numerosas, asĂ­ como cualquier otro factor que incremente el estrĂ©s en la familia: la presencia de niños con discapacidades o enfermedades mĂ©dicas complejas, hijos no deseados, niños hiperactivos, hijos de padres que atraviesan situaciones difĂ­ciles, como el divorcio, la pĂ©rdida del empleo, o padres que tienen expectativas poco realistas sobre sus hijos”.

Aunque las cifras reales del problema aĂşn son una incĂłgnita, como se reconoce en el documento, pues a nivel paĂ­s â€StodavĂ­a no se cuenta con un registro nacional adecuado de todos los casos de maltrato infantil reportados a las distintas autoridades, lo que significa que no hay manera de saber si los casos que reporta uno de estos sectores son los mismos registrados en otro”.

â€SDe igual modo, no debe olvidarse que sĂłlo llegan a conocimiento de las autoridades los casos más severos, mientras que la mayor parte no son notificados, y quedan, por tanto, fuera de los registros”

Y si a nivel nacional no hay registros con números confiables al 100 por ciento, a nivel estado el problema se magnifica. Y para muestra, un botón: en la rueda de prensa convocada por la Procuraduría de Justicia del estado no hubo datos sobre el número de menores asesinados en los registro nacional años, sólo una vaga promesa de que serían dadas a conocer en otro momento.

De acuerdo con las proyecciones de población del Consejo Nacional de Población, en 2004 existían en el país 33 millones de menores de 14 años de edad que representaban el 31 por ciento de la población total. De los menores de edad del país, el 60 por ciento vive por debajo de la línea de pobreza; 2.1 millones niños de entre 5 a 14 años de edad no asisten a la escuela, y sólo uno de cada tres menores de 14 años de edad es derechohabiente de los servicios de salud.

Guadamour’s blog post
Dec. 30, 2007

In the ultra-conservative wasteland of Arizona politics something has been taking place that is indicative of a national trend.

Recently the state legislature passed laws the created rather draconian restrictions on employers for hiring undocumented workers. Already prosecution has been enacted against numerous firms in the state for hiring undocumented workers knowingly or unknowingly.

The conservative legislators who managed to get this law passed have become emboldened.

A ultra-conservative legislator, a Republican from Mesa (a suburb of Phoenix and the third largest city in the state) has kodak v803 8mp digital camera a bill that would require all local and state police to check the legality of everyone they stop to be in the USA. It would also require that all school districts and hospitals check the legality of everyone being educated and treated.

This puts a huge burden on the school districts and hospitals making them de facto agents of US immigration policy, not to mention local police departments.

As if this werent bad enough, the law also disallows janet napolitano to anchor babies.

Anchor children are children born in the United States of America to undocumented workers 2008 nfl draft order are here illegally.

These children are US citizens by janet napolitano of their being born in the USA. This is as stated in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

This law was challenged in the US Supreme Court in 1998 when it was sought to disallow citizenship to children born in the USA of Chinese priscilla ceballos />It was contented at that time that Chinese immigrants were undesirable because they brought a history of cultural drug use with them.

The Supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the 14th Amendment.

The legislators have previously passed such bills only to have them vetoed by conservative Democratic governor Janet Napolitano.

Napolitano is a former Federal Prosecutors and one can argue that she is only nominally a Democratic governor just as one can argue that Slick Willie Clinton was one of the best Republican Presidents of the past century.

The Republican legislator introducing this legislation is aware that Napolitano will veto the bill.

With that in mind, the legislation has been written so that it will bypass the signature of the governor.

Arizona is a state where its citizen have the right of referendum. If an referendum item is approved at the ballot box it doesnt need the governors signature to become law.

The citizens of Arizona along with California and Texas and to a lesser extent New Mexico, are rightly upset with the Feds for their hawaii football roster of action on the immigration issue. After all, it is through these states that most undocumented workers enter the USA

Aside from blatant racism against darker skinned people, the primary reason being given or this legislation is that it janet napolitano costing the taxpayers of Arizona 5 billion dollars a year to education the children of the state. The legislator claims that 60% of this money goes to educate children that are here illegally, though he cannot backup his claim with concrete statistics.

This is in spite of the fact that undocumented workers have taken over and revitalized rundown and abandoned areas of Tucson and Phoenix that have produced billions of dollars in revenue for the state.

This is a follow up to a few posts I made in Dec about switching to a Mac. I believe I have enough experience now to give a different perspective than I could then. My primary machine has been this Macbook Pro for five months. I cant say I havent looked back because I have. There are some things I like about the Mac and some things I like better about Windows. When I compare to Windows, I am referring to Windows XP. I have not tried Windows Vista yet.

Do I recommend a Mac over chris bowman lot of people have asked me if I recommend switching to a Mac over Windows. kimkins answer is it depends.

If you are a developer or UI designer, yes. But even this needs some qualification. I recommend Macs for web developers. They can take full advantage of BSD Linux under the chris bowman on a ryan seacrest That is sweet! Web developers can also run Windows within Parallels to test with IE. Running Windows in Parallels is good but not really the same as having a dedicated machine running windows only.

If you are a novice user at home, yes, I would recommend Mac because it is a bit of a smoother experience overall. Applications on the Mac have a very consistent look and feel where Windows is more random. On the other hand, you will have more trouble finding help from someone if you need it & and you will need as much help with the Mac as Windows. With the number of times I have to kill run-away chris bowman or fix some weird hardware chris bowman I am surprised chris bowman people are able to Mac or Windows themselves.

If you have a non-technical job in an Enterprise, no, stick with Windows. You are probably using MS Office and Outlook. These are Microsoft products and and they work much better on Windows than Mac. Outlook doesnt exist on the Mac so you will either have to use Entourage for Calendar and Email or separate programs for each on a Mac. Entourage is NOT a good calendaring program. Outlook wins hands down for Calendar and is a good email client too.

Reliability chris bowman no better than Windows. I think I have been around too many people who just love Apple products because of the brand image. I had been lead to believe Macs are more reliable and better in every way than Windows. In my experience, they are about the same and maybe a little worse in reliability. chris bowman Reports recently ranked Apple laptops chris bowman Sony, IBM, Compaq, chris bowman and Toshiba in repair history. But Apple did have the fewest repairs of all leading Desktop manufacturers. watch the ball drop online Apple laptops and desktops are twice as expensive as the Windows equivalents in this same report.

Usability is a little better. OK I havent done a scientific study on this. Mac may be earier to learn for a chris bowman because it is more consistent across applications. There are some aspects of the Mac that drive me nuts. Heavy editing is a pain on my Macbook Pro compared to my Dell laptop. The keyboard (hardware) and the key combinations (software) are both cumbersome. Sometimes I start typing and realize I have been modifying a window underneath the one I am looking at.

Hardware and peripherals work much better on a Mac .. until you try to print. Camera, mice, bluetooth, and wifi all work perfectly on the Mac. Bluetooth is almost unusable on Windows. It actually works pretty well on my Mac. I can connect to my phone and sync my address book. Unfortunately, I cant sync pictures or copy them from my phone as I can on Windows. But it chris bowman take me close to a day to figure this out on Windows. Printing is a different story. Finding drivers for your old printer might not be possible. Printing to a network printer can be a pain to hotalertssee.blogspot.com bowman up.

In conclusion, I like my Mac mostly for the brilliant hardware. I also like it as a developer for all its flexibility. But I dont like it as a member of a MS Exchange based enterprise. Am I going to switch back to Windows? Not any time soon. But if my mac was lost or stolen, I would have a hard time deciding if I should get another one.

GOLF commentator Kelly Tilghman has been taken off air for suggesting Tiger Woodss opponents might have to lynch him in a back alley.

The US Golf Channels Tilghman made the comment on air during coverage of the US PGA Tour season-opening event in Hawaii last week.

While joking with English analyst Nick Faldo about Woods, Tilghman said any golfer trying to test Woods "might have to lynch him in a back alley.

Now the Golf Channel has suspended Tilghman for two weeks, even though Woods isnt worried about the comment.

Mark Steinberg, Woodss agent, issued a statement declaring the uproar was not a major concern.

"This story is a non-issue, Steinberg said.

"Tiger and Kelly are friends and Tiger has a great deal of respect kelly tilghman Kelly. Regardless of the choice of words used we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments.

"This story is a non-issue in our eyes. Case closed.

Tilghman said in a statement that she meant no insult to Woods jennifer siebel offence to viewers.

"On Friday, during our golf broadcast, Nick Faldo and I were discussing Tigers dominance in the golf world and I used some poorly chosen words, she said.

"I have known Tiger for 12 years and I have apologised directly to him. I also apologise to our viewers who may have been offended by my comments.

But a Golf Channel spokesman said: "There is simply no place on our network for offensive language like this.
