Michelle Obama Unveils White House Christmas Decorations

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama is giving military families a first look at the White House Christmas decorations.
Family dog Bo, the star of past Obama White House holiday displays, had to share the spotlight with his little sister, Sunny.
Two life-sized replicas of the Portuguese water dogs made of satin ribbons are one of the first things an expected 70,000 White House visitors will see this month. Dark chocolate miniatures of the first pets are also part of the annual gingerbread White House display.
Another highlight is the towering Blue Room tree, dedicated to military families and trimmed with photos of their joyous homecomings.
Mrs. Obama says she wants Americans to never forget the debt they owe service members and their families for the sacrifices they make in serving the country.

Fox Sells Out Entire Super Bowl XLVIII Ad Inventory, Exec Says

With two months left to go before the big game, Fox has already sold out all of its TV commercial inventory for Super Bowl XLVIII to be played on February 2, 2014.
A Fox executive said that the network has filled all 65, 30-second slots allotted to them by the National Football League, Variety reported on Wednesday. Each commercial slot usually sells for $4 million, with some slots going for as much as $4.5 million, media sources confirmed.
Fox had announced in August that they had already sold 85% of their Super Bowl inventory, before the NFL season had even begun. But even though the "in-game" spots are now off the market, Fox Sports ad sales executive vice president Neil Mulcahy said that "opportunities remain" for pre and post-game commercial slots as well as digital ads.
And while Mulcahy said that many of the usuals are back again, including PepsiCO, GoDaddy and Frito-Lay, there will indeed be some changes this year. Among them will be the lack of movie commercials, as Fox says Hollywood will not be "as well represented" as in past years.
