Walmart US reported that its Black Friday 2012 sales event was very successful, according to reports by company officials on Friday, November 23, 2012.

One of the reasons that contributed to the initial success of Walmart‘s Black Friday Sales 2012 is its one-hour guarantee on top electronic items that include iPad 2, Emerson 32″ LCD TV and LG Blu-ray player.

In a statement issued by Bill Simon, Walmart U.S. president and chief executive officer, he said that “I’m so proud of what our more than 1.3 million associates have done to prepare and execute our Black Friday plans, giving our customers a great start to their Christmas shopping season. The work of our associates is even more impressive when you consider they served approximately 22 million customers on Thursday.” Simon added that “We had very safe and successful Black Friday events at our stores across the country and heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers.”

Walmart‘s Black Friday this year was divided into three events. During the first event that started at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Walmart reportedly processed almost 10 million register transactions and almost 5,000 items per second until midnight.

Among the top items reportedly chosen by shoppers include gaming consoles, video games, DVDs, Furbys, fashion dolls, board games and Crock-Pots.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland reportedly ignored sunstroke and went on top of the leaderboard at the end of the second round in the DP World Tour Championship in Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai on Friday, November 23, 2012.

First round leader Luke Donald and second round playing partner Marc Warren ended up tied with McIlroy at the Greg Norman-designed Earth course on Friday.

McIlroy scored a five-under 67 for the day for a two-round 11-under 133. The world number one only hit a single bogey on the fourth hole.

Donald had a par for the day while Warren had a one-under par 67 to create a three-way tie.

Warren will be playing with McIlroy in Saturday’s third round.

Below is McIlroy‘s explanation about his sunstroke experience.

I didn’t feel great last night but was much better this morning and felt almost 100 percent out there on the course. I had a bit of a sore head last night. I guess it’s just us Irish and the skin not used to this sort of sun. Caroline squeezed about five lemons into a glass and I took that. Then I had some vitamins and a mineral drink – it made me feel a little better. With the anti-doping (checks in golf) you can’t really take too much.

“For five days up to when we left, my mom had warned me about falling off the cliff or being blown off. So when we were hiking around the corner, I found a good spot where I could stand on the ledge. He [her boyfriend] angled the camera just right and he took a great picture,” Busch was quoted as saying by ABCNews.com.

“I messaged it to her first and she works for a medical auditing company and there are women who have known me since day one, and they freaked out over it also. I emailed it to them, too, and they were all freaking out over it saying I gave them a heart attack,” Busch added.

According to reports, Willis donated the resort to the recently formed non-profit group Soldier Mountain Ski Area, Inc. The group, whose one of the board members is the grandson of Soldier Mountain founder Bob Frostenson, will assume ownership and operations of the resort.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the organization that will be responsible for the management of the Soldier Mountain Ski Area. The community came together, established the SMSA organization, and now assures its continued success. It was exciting to see that the very people who ski at Soldier care so much about its future. I wish them the very best,” Willis was quoted as saying in the reports.

According to the group’s spokesperson, Justin Nyquist, as quoted in different reports, Willis‘ move was a “total donation,” which means that the group will assume complete control of the ski resort and its operation without having to pay a dime.

The resort was owned by Willis since the late ’90s. It has been in operation since 1948, reports said.

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 09:07 AM PST

According to Radar Online on Tuesday, November 20, 2012, a source told them that Demi Moore has been the cause of delay why her divorce settlement with Ashton Kutcher is not yet completed even after one year has already passed. Demi allegedly instructed her lawyers to delay negotiations as much as possible.

“The main issue they have been fighting over has been the division of assets and the monetary settlement, but it’s now gotten to the point where Ashton is willing to cave in to all of Demi‘s demands just to reach a settlement.” A source told Radar Online, noting that Demi has been playing hardball with the divorce.

“As far as the girls and Ashton are concerned, everyone needs to move on with their lives and this whole fiasco has been going on for way too long.” The source added, referring to the three daughters of Demi Moore from her.ex-husband, Die Hard star Bruce Willis.

“However, Demi sees things differently and she can not forgive Ashton for moving on so quickly to Mila and flaunting their relationship publicly. It’s a classic case of a woman scorned.” The source explained further, with Kutcher reportedly dating Kunis since April, who was earlier seen wearing loose clothes, suggesting that she could be pregnant.

Demi and Ashton, who were married on September 24, 2005, were seen together last May in Beverly Hills during the 40th birthday party of Kabbalah Rabbi Yehuda Berg, who officiated their wedding. However, they did not reconcile since Demi has already changed her Twitter name from Mrs. Kutcher to Just Demi.
