New York along with Louisiana are the outliers when it comes to banning cameras in courtrooms, however, New York judges do have discretion as to how much electronic media is allowed in courtrooms.

And as much hardware as he has in his mended right leg, the limp figures to be with him for as long as he plays the sport he once dominated.As for how long he keeps playing Augusta National? That’s a little harder to foresee.Woods conceded that each trip to the Masters — at his age (47) and with surgeries on both legs and his back over the last decade — makes him wonder if it’s going to be the last one.“I don’t know how many more I have in me,” Woods said Tuesday.This will be his 25th time playing the Masters, and Woods still is surprised there was a 24th. He was still recovering last year from crashing his car off a suburban Los Angeles road at over 85 mph, crushing bones in his right leg so badly he said doctors contemplated amputation.“I didn’t know if I...
