Satya Nadella and David Beckham have reached the top of their fields, though we’re guessing the paths were a tad different. Except for the route that led them to today’s Morning Links.
- Here’s a feather in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s cap. Or at least its computer code. Microsoft’s new CEO, Satya Nadella, is an alum.
- The key to fixing Milwaukee’s burgeoning wrong-way driver problem? More visible signs. Might we also nominate less driver-ingested booze. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has the details.
- The Sochi Opening Ceremonies don’t start until Thursday, but the opening salvos have been fired aplenty. The big topic: hotels and facilities, and how they’re inadequate, unfinished or equipped with water that “contains something very dangerous” and something very yellow. Journalists from around the world have broached the topic, and a good example comes from Bruce Arthur of Canada.com.
- Meanwhile, the city-mandated evictions at Milwaukee’s Evergreen Court mobile home park, brought about due to unsafe living conditions, have left dozens wondering where they’re going to sleep. Today’s TMJ4 told some of their stories.
- The state’s propane shortage has led to a run on firewood, which has now created a firewood shortage, at least for some stores in Milwaukee. WTMJ AM-620 has more.
- And finally, it looks like all that underwear modeling has paid off. David Beckham is introduced today as the owner of Miami’s new Major League Soccer team.
