LONDON (Reuters) - The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authoritygovernmental agency and asset manager Shariah Capital launched an index tracking the performance of Islamic hedge funds investing in commodities on Wednesday.The Dubai Shariah Hedge Fund Index is the first to monitor the performance of hedge funds that comply with Islamic law, or sharia, and aims to provide a benchmark for investors, DMCC and Sharia Capital said in a statement.The index performance will be calculated and reported by Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO).The index is based on four hedge funds, part of the DSAM Kauthar Commodity Fund and investing in gold, energy, natural resources and mining. Short sellers borrow shares and sell them hoping to buy them back at a lower price.Al Safi hedge funds operate through so-called arboon contracts sanctioned by a team of Islamic scholars.Through an arboon, a hedge fund pays a deposit in advance of the transaction and holds an option for a specific length of time to either go through with the purchase of a stock or cancel.If it goes through with the purchase, the hedge fund pays the rest of the price, but the deposit is retained by the seller, in this case the broker, if the fund walks out.(Reporting by Cecilia Valente, Editing by Dan Lalor). I got an e-mail earlier today from the editor of one of the sports sites to which I occasionally post material. Over the last week their site has seen record traffic and they even had to add a new section on their site just to accommodate the volume of articles about Tiger. Now I am all in favor of doing anything I can to increase visibility for the great work that a growing number of talented writers are producing on the Sports Then and Now network of web sites. Of course, I guess you could call tearing down a legend to be a kind of sport of its own At least it seems to be a favorite sport of the media.

As a resident of the Orlando area, over the last week it has been almost impossible to watch television, listen to the radio or pick up the newspaper without reading about Woods, his accident and his alleged indiscretions. This morning I was at a meeting with Gary Bruhn, the mayor of the Town of Windermere. Even though Woods actually lives in an unincorporated portion of Orange County that has a Windermere mailing address, the mayor and the city have been thrust into the spotlight and forced to deal with the residual impact of the incident. However, since the accident, he has been thrust into the spotlight, often serving as a defacto town spokesman. If you Google his name, you will now find more than 1.2 million relevant entries where a week ago there were less than 1,000. This has put added pressure on the police and other services in this tiny community of less than 5,000 residents.

Another unintended consequence of the Woods’ story for the small town is the inundation of e-mail messages that have flooded the town’s e-mail server. Because of Florida’s public records law, every e-mail message sent to Mayor Bruhn, the town police department or the general town e-mail mailbox must be cataloged and preserved. Bruhn estimates that the town has received more e-mail in the last week than they would normally receive in six months. These e-mails not only require staff time to answer, but also additional time and server space to chronicle and store. Despite the attempt by some media to keep the story going as long as possible because Tiger Woods is such a traffic generator, eventually the story will die down and things will go back to normal.
