First lady discusses family during Leno appearance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BURBANK, Calif. — What's President Barack Obama's most annoying habit?
Practicing his speeches for hours in front of the bathroom mirror? Talking too much foreign policy at the dinner table?
"He beats me quite often," she said on NBC's "The Jay Leno Show," appearing via satellite hookup from the White House. "That gets to be pretty annoying."
No - first lady Michelle Obama said Friday it's his tennis game. When they play, the president usually wins.
In a brief skit, Leno pushed her to talk about her husband's flaws. At first, she sarcastically said he has none.
The show was taped for airing later Friday evening.
It also looks like Bo — the Obamas' dog — is living like a king. The first lady said the presidential pooch celebrated his first birthday earlier this month with a Rose Garden party.
"He's perfect," she quipped
Bo, a Portuguese water dog, feasted on a cake shaped like a dog house that was made out of veal.
"We had a really sweet celebration," the first lady told Leno. "We had party hats."
Then she let it out: It's their battles on the tennis court that get her peeved.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Man becomes Monopoly champ

LAS VEGAS — A lucky swap and some eager building propelled a 19-year-old Norwegian student to the top of board game fame and sent three would-be tycoons to the poor house at the Monopoly World Championship in Las Vegas.
Bjorn Halvard Knappskog, of Norway, accepts the trophy after winning the 2009 Monopoly World Championships at Caesars Palace hotel and casino Thursday in Las Vegas.
Bjorn Halvard, who graduated this year from the Oslo Private Gymnasium school, captured the title on Thursday when the battleship token of 25-year-old Geoff Christopher of New Zealand landed consecutively on Pacific Avenue and North Carolina Avenue, and he couldn't afford
the combined $1,600 rent.
("I'm) the most surprised you could ever be," Halvard told The Associated Press. "I think this was a really good final. It was the best game I played in the whole tournament."

After taking out 24-year-old Russian Oleg Korostelev, Halvard bankrupted American champion Rick Marinaccio, a 26-year-old corporate lawyer from Buffalo, N.Y., who was trying to become the first U.S. player to win the board game championship since 1974.
Halvard won $20,580 in real money for the title — the total amount in the bank of a standard Monopoly game. The other finalists won nothing beyond the trip that brought each of the 41
