.Plan in place for 2010 Olympic hockey
It still requires the seal of approval from the International Ice Hockey Federation council and congress but the tentative plan is in place for the men's hockey event at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

- All but two of the 30 games will be played at GM Place.
South Africa: Street Dogs - the Value of Things
I CAN'T help thinking that people who buy computer software or attend seminars that promise to show them how to succeed in the stock market are wasting their time and money by looking for someone or something to provide them with a short cut, where there isn't one.
I believe that the best way to learn to trade the market is to go it alone. And if, as unlikely as it might be, you don't have what it takes to learn by yourself, it's unlikely that someone else can provide you with the wherewithal to succeed. .Bryan woman cited in baby-shoe theft
A Bryan woman was charged with theft after stealing baby shoes from a local dollar store - a felony offense because she had two prior theft convictions, police said.
Ieshia Nicole Williams-Branch, 22, was spotted shoplifting by the manager at Family Dollar Store on East Texas 21 in Bryan, according to an officer's affidavit.
Police found the $4 baby shoes under Williams-Branch's sweatshirt, court documents state. She was charged with theft, a state jail felony, and was released from jail Thursday after posting $5,000 bail.
Williams-Branch was convicted of theft in March and September 2005, according to records.
