Usain Bolts to Record 100 Meters
Jamaican Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt logged a Mercurial  9.58 seconds in the 100 meters in Berlin Sunday to surpass the 9.69 he set in winning gold at the Beijing Games last year. Former world record-holder Asafa Powell clinched a second medal for Jamaica as he finished third in 9.84. “I was feeling good after the semis. I knew it was going to be a great race and I executed it,” Bolt, 22, told reporters. “It’s a great time, a great feeling. I feel good in myself and I knew I could do it. There was a big build-up, great atmosphere. It wasn’t going to be an easy race but I had a perfect start and just went from there. I came out here to do my best, and I did what I had to do. There’ll be no partying for me ahead of Tuesday. I’ll rest up as always, I need to rest up for the 200 meters.” Defending 100-meter champ, American Tyson Gay, finished second in 9.71 seconds, third fastest time ever and 6/100ths better than his previous personal best. “I ran the best I could. I just wanted to give my best tonight, it wasn’t enough but I’m happy to have the national record,” he said. “I knew I had to put out a championship performance. I gave it my best and that’s all I could do.”
Korean Upsets Tiger
In perhaps the biggest upset in professional golfing history, Korea’s Y.E. Yang came from behind to yank the 91st PGA Championship from world’s No. 1 player, defeating Tiger Woods in a suspenseful finish at Hazeltine National. It was a nail-biter, indeed. The 37-year-old Yang, ranked 110th, clearly understood what a tremendous upset it was to beat the world’s top golfer. “This might be my last win as a golfer,” said Yang, “but it sure is a great day. It means the world right now.” With the come-from-behind victory, Yang deprived Woods of his 15th major. It also keeps the Tiger from Jack Nicklaus’s 18 by the end of next year. Prior to Sunday, Woods had never lost a major after starting the final round with the lead. “I played well enough to win the championship,” Woods said. “I did not putt well enough to win the championship today. I didn’t get it done on the greens, and consequently, I didn’t win the tournament.”

Billion People are Hungry

There are currently one billion people worldwide suffering from hunger, according to numbers from the United Nations. The world’s struggling economy only made matters worse, pushing the number up by 100 million people to its highest level ever according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). “It’s the first time in human history that we have so many hungry people in the world. And that’s a contradiction, because a lot of the world is very rich despite the economic crisis,” said FAO spokesman Kostas Stamoulis. In addition world’s safety could be jeopardized. “The silent hunger crisis – affecting one-sixth of all humanity – poses a serious risk for world peace and security,” Jacques Diouf, an FAO official told the BBC. “We urgently need to forge a broad consensus on the total and rapid eradication of hunger in the world and to take the necessary actions.” Most of the world’s hungry, about 642 million people, live in the Asia-Pacific region and 265 million live in sub-Saharan Africa, leaving only 15 million people in developed countries are suffering from hunger. Higher food prices, higher unemployment rates and lower pay are all factors resulting in the increased amount of hungry people. Governments worldwide should look towards increasing their respective nation’s agriculture sector as a solution, Diouf said. “Investment in agriculture must be increased because for the majority of poor countries a healthy agricultural sector is essential to overcome poverty and hunger and is a pre-requisite for overall economic growth.”
Jamaican Sprinter’s Home Burglarized

Gold medal winning Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt’s home was burglarized last week, according to police. Bolt was competing in the Czech Republic at the time of the incident, which took place during the early morning hours of last Wednesday, reports AFP. The thieves stole about $1,000 in electronics from his Kingston area home. Sadeke Bolt, Bolt’s half brother, was in the home sleeping at the time of the robbery and was the one who reported the crime to police.

Woods Loses Bid for Fourth Green Jacket
The final hour of the 2009 Masters at Augusta National Sunday provided just the fireworks that the event needed to shatter its reputation as a lackluster tournament with few exciting highlights. But, it was the undercard that stole the show, as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods battled it out in a final round of a major for the first time in eight years. Mickelson tied a Masters record with a 30 on the front nine to get into contention, but Woods caught him with three birdies over the next four holes and put the crowd of thousands on the edge of the green. Sadly, however, the tourney ended with far less fanfare as Mickelson faded, settling for a 67 and leaving him five strokes off the lead. Woods also fizzled, bogeying the final two holes for a 68 and wrapping up a shot behind Mickelson to finish another shot back. By the time the major ended, Angel Cabrera had become the first Argentine to win the green jacket at Augusta National.
Bolt Blew Herb as a Kid, Paper Says World-record-holding sprinter Usain Bolt smoked dope as a youngster, he told a publication Sunday. “In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too –  but I was real young then,” Bolt was quoted by the online publication Bild. “My family and my friends don’t smoke and I don’t hang out any longer with people who smoke.” Three-time Olympic gold medalist, who set world records in the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics and was part of the Jamaican team that broke the world mark in the 400-meter relay, made the admission in an interview published online Sunday. One of Bild’s reporters says he met Bolt at a disco in Kingston, Jamaica, and that the sprinter drank Guinness mixed with Red Bull.
