On a recent evening at the Shortstop Bar & Grill, Lambert and her “director of positivity” Nick Niedzielski conducted a first “meet and greet” to say hi to those who enjoy the Facebook forum and con- tribute to its ongoing success. “Since the forum started seven years ago, we have grown to 9,200 members and we encourage each and every one of them to share positive news about the city,” said Lambert. Niedzielski echoed those sentiments. “We want people to have a conversation about our community,” said Niedzielski, adding, “but it has to be positive.” More than 30 city residents turned out for the early evening gathering from 5:30 to 8, many enjoy- ing a meal while they sat and chatted with fellow forum followers.

March 22, 2010 The Tiger Bubble By JONATHAN MAHLER Not too long ago, 2010 was shaping up as a good year for Tiger Woods. After knee surgery in 2008, Woods returned to competitive golf in 2009 and logged six victories. He led the PGA Tour in prize winnings for the ninth time and was voted player of the year by his peers for the 10th time in his 14 years as a pro. Because of the fortuitous location of this year’s marquee tournaments, Woods seemed primed to approach and maybe even equal Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major championships. In addition to the Masters at Augusta, Ga., where Woods has won four times, the 2010 United States Open will be played in June at Pebble Beach, in California; in 2000, the last time it was played there, Woods won by 15 strokes. The British Open will be held in July at the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, which has hosted the tournament twice in the last decade; Woods won both times, by a combined total of 13 strokes. But then November and December happened. Woods crashed his car on Thanksgiving weekend, and the collateral damage just kept mounting. Rarely has an athlete tumbled as far and as fast as Tiger Woods.
