The Golf World!

Today, the worlds number one player, Tiger Woods was injured early Friday morning when he lost control of his SUV. He lost control of his 2009 Cadillac pulling out of his driveway. When he lost control he hit a fire hydrant, then a tree in his neighbor’s yard, wonder what his neighbor thought about that? Police are unsure what had happened, but focusing on why he was leaving at 2:25 a.m. He had no scheduled place to be, so police are looking at everything, even a chance of a fight with his wife, who just happened to pull him out of the truck. That’s right, his wife came running out of the house with a golf club to break out the back window to get him out. I personally think the 2 were battling it out, most likely over how he’s never home. Or maybe he’ll come out and say he was going to play some Myrtle beach golf, which would be a joke, and not true. What ever the reason, it’s not going to be good, after all, it was 2:25 a.m. It’s not like he was running to Wal-Mart for a deal on a T.V.

More Cuts Coming!

Today AOL LLC, an Internet company said they plan on reducing their workforce by 2,500 people. Their going to be asking for volunteers, which will come with a buyout offer. I read that the buyouts were going to cost close to $200 million. This just shows that the online advertising is still slumping. Also read that new AOL CEO, Tim Armstrong is also forgoing a bonus this year. It’s probably a good idea for him to refuse that bonus, because the talk around the bathroom hand dryers wouldn’t be good for him. Anyway, this cut will save AOL about $300 million annually, which is huge. Their going to force more on what’s profitable within AOL, and cut off areas that are not. I think a cut of this size will give AOL the chance to save money and start fresh. They will help them grow in new areas of the Internet, and make them stronger down the road.

Close One!

Today was a close game for my team, the Minnesota Vikings. The score was Minnesota 27, Detroit Lions 10. What made this game close was that Minnesota played one of the worst games I’ve seen them play. They were in the red zone 3 times in the 1st half and came away with no points. They fumble the ball 2 times, and went for a 4th and less than a yard, which they missed. There was even a point when Adrian Peterson was about to score on a 50 yard run when he fumbled the ball on the 10 yard line, he was hit from behind. But thanks to Brett Favre and Sidney Rice they were able to pull out a win. Peterson did pretty good as well. Favre threw for 344 yards, which 201 went to Rice. Hopefully the Vikings had their Canon camera taking pictures to learn from their mistakes this week. Because if they play a good team this way they’ll get beat badly.

The Fat!

I once read during my reading on the internet that scientists have identified a fatty substance that’s in your stomach that makes your brain shut down your eating. I know, sounds very strange but is true, anyway that’s what I read. Here’s the name of that substance in your stomach, NAPE, which travels into your bloodstream. Once it reaches your brain it singles your brian to stop eating, telling it I’m full. I should state that this study was done on mice and rats, so don’t get your hopes up just yet. Me personally I would like to see this test on humans, but who’s going to that testing, not me. I quess if researchers can produce a safe level of this substance why not test it on humans. It could help everyone that has an eating problem. Anyway, until this becomes safe for humans you should maybe consider losing the belly fat the old way, called exercising.
