| "This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach" |

Ryder Cup: Woods fails to clinch automatic US team spot
|
|
Golfing great Tiger Woods flopped in his bid to clinch an automatic place in the American team, and now may have to go cap in hand to skipper Corey Pavin to get a wild card entry for the Ryder Cup.
Woods needed a final-round flourish on Sunday to get back into reckoning, but wrapped up his week at Whistling Straits with another inconsistent round, this one, marred by poor driving.
Speaking to media later, he said that it would be back to practice for now and, later, he hopes to be the captain's pick for the Ryder Cup.
According to the Sun, Woods has not shot a sub-70 round since the first day of The Open at St Andrews last month and despite a birdie-birdie start he did not look like ending that dismal run.
At least he threw in a few more birdies - four on the front nine. That is three more than he managed over the same stretch throughout the previous three rounds at the USPGA Championship.
He also carded three bogeys and then crashed to a double bogey on the easy 10th to end any doubts over whether he would need a captain's pick for Celtic Manor in October.
Woods finished on a one-over 73 - his 11th consecutive round without ducking below 70 - to finish the tournament among the also-rans on two under overall. But he confirmed he would accept a Ryder Cup wild card.
He said: "I'd like to make the team but didn't manage it on points so I'll have to rely on Corey. It's whether he wants me.
"My game is heading in the right direction, so I feel I could help the team. Hopefully, Corey will see that, he added. (ANI) |

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.
Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Wisconsin news. From Milwaukee to Madison, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.
Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Wisconsin Star. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.
Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe.
