| Canadians catch Black Friday fever
It's the unofficial launch of the Christmas shopping season in the United States - their equivalent of Boxing Day, only everybody's still got money and stamina. Black Friday is THE day to get a deal. Many retailers open their doors early and don't close until late at night - offering extra incentives to bleary-eyed early birds who start lining up long before the crack of dawn, ready to jostle, shove and race for limited quantities of drastically reduced items, especially clothing, electronics and toys. .

The Sundance Diary by Dawn Keezer
Sundance is over. Well, for me at least, the festival continues through January 27th, but it was time for me to get back to Pittsburgh. This was one of the best festivals ever for me and for the Pittsburgh region. As I have written about earlier, this is the first time that Pittsburgh has had two major films in the festival. Both movies were shot and set here, too, which was a bonus. This provided a multitude of opportunities to talk about how great it is to shoot projects in our region. People were talking everywhere about how great our region looks on film. I met lots of people, saw some amazing films and made some new connections, which should help us see even more work in Pittsburgh in the near future. One last image to close the festival was of the tall blonde PIB, ordering at Starbucks in the Salt Lake City airport.

Dubai to host 2008 World Jewellery Confederation Congress
This is the first time that this prestigious global gathering of jewellery trade organisations and professionals has been held in the Middle East. The choice of Dubai for this three-day event, which will be held under the patronage of DMCC, comes in recognition of the emirate's increasingly central role on the global jewellery stage. Among those expected to attend this high-profile meeting are leading members of the international jewellery trade, as well as government and United Nations representatives, all of whom will convene in Dubai to address the global outlook for a broad range of industry issues. DMCC will host the conference and a wide variety of related activities over the course of the three days. An international confederation of national jewellery trade organisations, CIBJO was founded in 1926 as a purely European organisation, becoming genuinely global in 1961.
2 Sun reporters, WBAL-TV win Headliner awards
Tucker, 27, a features reporter at The Sun since November 2004, won in the category of feature writing. Her articles included one on Dr. Heather Cereste, a Texas physician treating the wounded in Iraq, who honed her skills during an intensive three-week training session at Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Other articles included visits with Ocean City lifeguards reuniting misplaced children with their parents, and with George, a Cockeysville mastiff competing in New York's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
"To win not one but two awards in one of America's most prestigious journalism contests makes this a truly special honor," Franklin said.
Baltimore's WBAL-TV, Channel 11, won the competition's grand award for television broadcasting, for Africa's Maryland. The 30-minute documentary, which aired in February last year, documented reporter Tim Tooten and a WBAL crew's visit to Maryland County, Liberia, an area colonized in the 19th century by freed slaves from Maryland.
Hearts fan chief urges caution over match boycott plans
I can understand people's frustrations because I feel the same way myself but I don't believe that boycotts are the way to go. Even at the height of the Save our Hearts campaign I didn't support them because I believe that all they serve to do is divide the fans."Despite Watson's reservations though, the plans have been getting backing from a number of fans on the website, with one poster suggesting: "We want a manager to be given 100 per cent control of footballing operations. We want a protest against this random team selection, substitutions and tactical nonsense that are self-destructing Hearts."If we were all to choose not to go to one match to show our disapproval with this method of madness, then why not the Gretna match on February 9?"If the attendance was so low it might just implant a seed of doubt into Vlad's mind that all is not well."Meanwhile as .
Internet Gambling Deserves a New Chance
So let's draw the line on the ground--not in the thin air of cyberspace. We don't need gambling on the Internet. The U.S. isn't alone in this fight, either. Lots of countries ban Internet gambling, and many still outlaw gambling altogether. There are a lot of people who have weaknesses in the world. This online gambling thing is just another way for shysters to destroy the weak and suck them dry. It's anonymous, so the parasites don't even have to see their victims. It's an ugly thing we are better off without. .
