Tiger Woods' Fined
Tiger Woods was fined for spitting during the Dubai Desert Classic yesterday.  He apparently spit on the 12th green after missing a par putt in the final round.  The spit was allegedly a Breach of the Tour Code of Conduct.  We don't know how much the fine was...but I'm sure it will only be a drop in the bucket.  Via CNN

Fighting Bad Breath
Bad breath: we have some tips to help you fight it.  First, stay hydrated.  A dry mouth is a breeding ground for bad breathe.  Next, mints and mouthwash are good, but they're only temporary fixes.  Try green tea and cinnamon.  Also try eating crisp fruits and vegetables like celery or apples.  Via CNN
