'Sing-Off' Has Ben Folds as Judge
"The Sing-Off" is a four night special holiday event that begins Monday, December 14 at 8pm ET through 10pm ET. Former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey will be hosting the event which should draw our attention away immediately, but considering singer/song-writer Ben Folds is one of the judges, we may stick around after all. According to reports, "The Sing-Off" is like "American Idol" for cappella groups. The show premiered tonight and will continue on both Tuesday and Wednesday night with a live finale scheduled for December 21. Sounds like a nice little Christmas event the whole family can enjoy. So be sure to tune in tomorrow night at 8pm ET as this special event continues.

Aquarium on solid financial ground
As the S.C. Aquarium moves into its 10th year along the Charleston waterfront, it looks toward the next decade from a comfortable financial perch.
The aquarium earned $1.1 million in profit from operations during the first three quarters of 2009, compared with $336,000, or only about one-third of that, during the same time last year.
And aquarium President and Chief Executive Kevin Mills said the attraction expects a $2 million upswing in its bottom line next year.
By the end of January the aquarium will repay the remaining balance of the $12 million debt from its opening in 2000.
With a wide grin, Mills said, "We're very, very, very close. We're just looking for a few key donors to take us over the edge."
Clearing that expense changes the numbers game at the attraction.
As Mills explained, "We're always in the black but, because of debt service, the money goes out the door."
With extra cash available, the aquarium plans to update its 10-year-old building with fresh paint and carpeting, routine maintenance that had been postponed previously, and new vehicles and equipment for staff.
Life after debt will mean a dramatic turnaround for employees too, who took off two weeks without pay between the end of 2008 and the start of this year.
"It absolutely means pay raises," Mills said. "It's more than salary. We're hoping to be in the position to invest in more staff training, more staff enrichment."
Aquarium employees most recently received raises in April 2008 but should see a bump in pay by January, according to Mills.
Part of the reason for the success: About 12 percent more people have visited the aquarium this year than in 2008. That's 3 percent higher attendance than an aggressive forecast predicted and a number that put the attraction already ahead of 2008 totals by October.
Officials credit Penguin Planet, an exhibit featuring four male warm-weather birds, which opened in March. Following the feathered swimmers' arrival, the aquarium saw record attendance throughout the spring and summer.
Every Saturday and Sunday during the holidays an aquarium staff member will roll out one of the birds in a Waddle Wagon so visitors can check them out close up.
Next year the aquarium plans to bring in an albino alligator to replace the penguins. The attraction also will introduce a four-dimensional theater where visitors can feel the water from a dolphin's splash or the brush of a fish swimming over their feet.

Tiger Woods' type: Elin Nordegren, Rachel Uchitel, Joanna Jagoda, Jaimee Grubbs
Let's just get it out of the way. The Dish Rag knows what you're thinking and yes, Tiger Woods does apparently have a type.
Above is a photo of his old girlfriend Joanna Jagoda (pictured left), whom he dated before he married the nanny of one of his Swedish golfer pals, Elin Nordegren (pictured right).
In dim light, they would look identical. Now toss in alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel who has firmly denied the affair and even offered to take a lie detector test after previously stating that she never "kisses and tells."
Here's the other thing you're probably wondering.
Why, with a smoking hot babe like Elin at home, would Tiger stray with Rachel and/or Jaimee Grubb, the other woman (former cocktail waitress) who is now stepping up to stake her claim as one of El Tigre's paramours.
And this one allegedly has sexy time texts and voicemails. Might wanna hide those golf clubs, Tiger.
What do you think? Is Tiger's House of Cards about to come tumbling down?
Should he call up A-Rod for the phone number of his divorce lawyer?
And how big a ring is he gonna get Elin this weekend?
The big question is how many more women -- real or fake girlfriends -- will come out of the woodwork now?

'Harry Potter' first look: 'Deathly Hallows' brings real danger, real stubble
USA Today has the first official image from the two-part adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It’s a simple yet surprisingly unsettling shot of Harry, Ron, and Hermione wearing street clothes and concerned looks as they journey toward the final showdown with Lord Voldemort. As director David Yates explained, “It’s going to feel very real. We’re going for a vérité approach. Being away from Hogwarts, they’re like these three refugees on the run. They’re out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts. They don’t have a home to go to. We’re kind of pulling away from the magic a bit and bringing more reality to it.” (That reality includes not having time to shave. “Me and Dan actually have some stubble,” Rupert Grint told USA Today, grinning.)
Is it just me being unable to separate this shot from the image of another walk Harry takes in Deathly Hallows — that forest scene was so vivid in the book, I feel like I’ve already seen it on film) or is staring at this photo making you tense and totally excited for November 2010, too?

Shoppers skip Black Friday chaos in favor of Cyber Monday online deals
WEEHAWKEN -- Spooked by unruly crowds and the trampling death of a Wal-Mart worker last year, Claudia Pope-Bayne decided to ditch the Black Friday mayhem this year and take her bargain hunting to the web."I did not want to take part in that," said the 38-year-old professional fundraiser from Weehawken. "But I realized I still had a hankering for a little post-Thanksgiving shopping madness."
So, instead of jostling the sales-hungry shoppers at the mall Friday, Pope-Bayne used her lunch hour today to peruse store web sites for the best deals. She even made out a "cyber wish list"— which includes a designer watch and lotions from Bath & Body Works — and urged her husband to buy gifts online for both her and their 9-year-old son.
This year, more customers like Pope-Bayne are skipping long lines at brick-and-mortar stores in favor of online shopping today during Cyber Monday. More than a quarter of Americans shopped online over the weekend, according to the National Retail Federation — a number that has jumped nearly 75 percent over the past three years.
Cyber Monday — a term coined by the Washington, D.C.-based NRF — refers to the first day back at the office after the Thanksgiving weekend, when consumers are still eager to shop but have no way to do so but to use their boss’s internet connection.
Online sales this holiday shopping season could increase10 percent to 20 percent this year, said George Whalin, president of Retail Management Consultants in Carlsbad, Calif. Shop.org, which is the National Retail Federation’s digital division, estimates 96.5 million Americans planned to shop today, up from 85 million last year.
Whalin did not have an estimate of how much sales revenue would be this year.
However, as retailers sweeten the online deals with free shipping offers and other perks, he expects to see year-over-year increases in online sales for the next five years.
Still, the state loses out on sales tax revenue when online retailers don’t charge customers an additional fee. While no estimates exist for the amount of revenue that might be lost due to internet sales, New Jersey has entered into a multi-state cooperative that helps enforce the sales tax, said a state Treasury Department spokesman. For some New Jersey shoppers, a Black Friday sales rush evokes memories of Jdimytai Damour, a security guard at a Long Island Wal-Mart who was trampled to death last year when doors burst open at 5 a.m. and customers stormed the store. Many consumers said shopping online is a way to avoid the chaos.
"The whole getting up at 3 in the morning and battling over the last toaster oven seems really silly," said Hala Al-Shawaf, 27, an assistant bank manager from Moorestown, who decided to shop online this year after her "BlackBerry was bombarded" by Cyber Monday deal alerts.
Retailers are using social networking sites to push coupons and deals more than ever before, said Michelle Madhok, founder of SheFinds.com, a Manhattan-based online shopping guide for women. "More people are becoming fans of their favorite retailers on Facebook and following them on Twitter," said Madhok, adding that another emerging trend is "coupon crowd sourcing sites," which let shoppers find and rank coupon codes based on their effectiveness.
The web represents only about 10 percent of the holiday shopping pie, but it’s seen as one of the only sources of growth in the retail sector this year, said Scott Silverman, executive director of Shop.org, the NRF’s digital unit. The bright spot offers hope for retailers after sales came in just above flat for Black Friday, with shoppers crowding stores but only snatching up deep discounts and practical items.
One of the biggest hurdles online retailers face is apparel sales, since shoppers still want to try on clothes to ensure a good fit. But Silverman said retailers have been "chipping away at that stigma" by allowing consumers to return items without incurring shipping costs.
But Cyber Monday is far from the busiest online shopping day of the year, with many customers scrambling to place orders a week before Christmas to make shipping deadlines.
"The second week in December is our heaviest volume online and people will order right up until UPS will deliver overnight," said Mike Pimco Marakovitz, the owner of Asbury Park-based Pimco Online Merchandise, which operates websites such as stylerocket.com. "People will sometimes pay more in overnight shipping than the value of their whole order."
And now that most people have high-speed internet connections at home and free time on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving has become just as important for online stores as it is for those in the mall, Silverman said.
"Even I’m going to shop online, and I’m not going to go deal with the Black Friday craziness," he said.

Obama Approves More Troops for Afghanistan
In a Sunday night meeting, President Obama authorized the Pentagon to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. In a nationally televised speech Tuesday night, he is expected to stress that buildup comes with an exit strategy. But, as Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution says, the fact is the United States is going deeper into an eight-year-old war. "When you add 30,000 more troops, you're investing even more in the war. And it's nice to talk of exit strategies and it's smart and it's useful, but the essence of the near-term decision is more American commitment, not less," O'Hanlon said. Thirty thousand more troops would be 10,000 fewer than Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander in Afghanistan, requested. The president hopes to make up at least some of the difference with contributions from NATO allies, reports CBS News correspondent David Martin. "I think NATO will come through with a couple thousand and so I think we'll still be somewhat short of what Gen. McChrystal proposed," O'Hanlon said. It's now up to McChrystal to decide exactly how the 30,000 will be used. The commandant of the Marine Corps said his troops will among be the first in - about 9,000 into the Taliban heartland in Southern Afghanistan. Aides to McChrystal say the rest of the buildup will consist of two combat brigades from the Army plus trainers for Afghan forces and support troops to construct all the new facilities that will be needed. It will take upwards of a year to get them all there, but when the buildup is complete, the United States will have nearly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, concentrated in the South and East of the country where the insurgency is the strongest. The North and West will have to wait for NATO to send more troops. "My best guess is the North and West of the country continue to fester a little bit more than we would like," O'Hanlon said. President Obama has said that he intends to finish the job in Afghanistan, but that is not likely to happen during his first four years.
