Morning Brew for 12/1

Today is World Aids Day. To find out how you can help fight the disease check out this link.

-Yesterday I mentioned how more and more would be coming out in the Tiger Woods single car accident story. Well the alleged "other woman", Rachel Uchitel, gave an exclusive interview to the NY Post. Great reading here, and I have to say that I totally believe her. It's amazing what people will say when they are offered $25,000 by a tabloid magazine.

-Thinking of texting a link to 8 Hours To Kill on Twitter? Well if you are in North Carolina, or Colorado that is now illegal. You're welcome Bernal family.

-President Barack Obama will address the nation tonight at 6 PM (MST) to discuss the sending of 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Just a hunch, but I've got a feeling you will be able to find this on your TV. If not CNN.com will be carrying it live.

-Former NBA player, Antoine Walker, has agreed to pay back over $900,000 to three different Las Vegas casinos. Walker owes the money for writing bad checks to the casinos. He will pay $13,000 per month over five years according to the agreement. Walker's story is well worth a read.

-In the first Cyber Monday that 8 Hours To Kill posted deals on Twitter, sales were up 11%. Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

-The late Michael Jackson has replaced Britney Spears as Yahoo's Most Searched Person in 2009. Spears had been number one on the list for the past 4 years. I find it odd that two of the ten are things that I have never heard of.

-New York Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter, has been named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year. The Yankees captain helped lead the Bronx Bombers to the 2009 World Series Championship while having his best offensive year in recent memory. Jeter was also awarded the Gold Glove for American League Shortstops. While the Sportsman of the Year award is obviously an athletic award, what Jeter has done with his Turn 2 Foundation should not be overlooked.

Morning Brew for 11/16

I'm too cold to think of an interesting introduction today. It was 28 degrees on my way to work this morning. So glad I still live in Utah...

-As I mentioned in Friday's Morning Brew I really enjoy the News From Every State section in the USA Today. This morning there was a dandy from the state of Washington. A man from Everett decided to shoplift a $6 mechanical pencil. Upon his arrest it was discovered that he had over $600 in his wallet. Maybe he didn't want to break a $100? Here is a picture of the man after his arrest.

-Just when you thought you couldn't get enough Britney Spears in your life, her new application (app) for the iPhone, and iPod Touch was released today. I wonder if there is an app that will slap someone in the face for paying $1.99 for the "It's Britney" app. An App Slap! That's what we'll call it!

-Fox News has given us a slide show of the 9 Worst Nude scenes of all time. Don't worry, this slide show does not contain any nudity and is perfectly safe for viewing at work. In fact, it may be encouraged.

-Oh Elizabeth Lambert. You're disregard for all things sportsmanship has led to an awesome dating service video. I don't know what guy wouldn't want to go out with you. What a catch!

-With all of the negative stories you read about NFL players, sometimes stories like this one tend to get overlooked. Browns WR/KR, Josh Cribbs, went out of his way to make sure a high school senior would never forget his final football game.

-Sunday Morning Movie Madness made it's triumphant return to my life yesterday, the wife and I saw Pirate Radio. I really enjoyed the show. I thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman was outstanding. The movie had great music throughout. Also it had a different title in the USA as compared to everywhere else. If you are planning on seeing this film in London, look for "The Boat That Rocked". You're welcome England.
