Singapore Log: James' shooting wins it for Cavs

http://singaporelog.blogspot.com/2007/03/james-shooting-wins-it-for-cavs.html

Thursday, March 1, 2007. James' shooting wins it for Cavs. ONE big, back-breaking shot was not going to bail out the Cavaliers. So LeBron James made another. He dropped two crucial three-pointers in the last minute to help Cleveland beat New Orleans 97-89 in a National Basketball Association game on Tuesday. The Hornets' defensive strategy down the stretch was to force James to take the toughest shots possible. They were able to do that, but what they did not bank on was James making them anyway.

Singapore Log: Is Singapore ready if bird flu breaks out here?

http://singaporelog.blogspot.com/2007/03/is-singapore-ready-if-bird-flu-breaks.html

Saturday, March 10, 2007. Is Singapore ready if bird flu breaks out here? I AM concerned about Singapore's readiness should avian flu break out here. While we had been successful in containing the Sars outbreak, there is no certainty that we will succeed with bird flu. From all indications, the only approved medication is Tamiflu. However, there have been various reports about death caused by taking this drug. What precautions are required for the sale and consumption of this drug? Kelvin Kwan Chee Hong.

Singapore Straits: Car hit by golf ball that flew through safety net

Saturday, March 10, 2007. Car hit by golf ball that flew through safety net. My car was hit by a golf ball that flew through the safety net and went out of bounds at Jurong Country Club while I was driving on the AYE between 6.30pm and 7pm on March 2.

Singapore Otah: Security guards there to protect residents from intruders, not be the nanny to residents

http://singaporeotah.blogspot.com/2007/03/security-guards-there-to-protect.html

Friday, March 9, 2007. Security guards there to protect residents from intruders, not be the nanny to residents. I refer to the letter, 'No harm done if security guards were to inform maid's employer if she goes out during odd hours' (Online forum, March 6). In this case, it is the maid who has made 'unusual movements'. Where then do we draw the line? What if an 18-year-old is seen coming home at 4am on a Sunday morning after being out with friends?
