All-Star game brings in business
This was a Herculean effort to put this together. Selling the 47 [thousand] plus tickets to get a full house last night and tonight. So nothing is easy," said organizer Bob Moppert.
The year of planning came to an end with thousands of hockey fans filling the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena to see the AHL's best players.
"I make no bones about it. We wanted to have, and I want to have, the best event ever. But saying that, I want next year's event in Worcester to be even better," Moppert said.

Are they needed as a body if they have nothing to contribute to the publics understanding of the case being made for more money.Farmers need more finance,schools and hospitals need more etc etc why do the universities think they have special merit in the allocation of money>I thought they would be best placed of all these bodies to get support from foundations and industry if they have credibility.Who runs the Funding council anyway and why has Salmond not examined their lack of involvement-they are a public body are they not ??? .
Visionaries bask in Hippodrome glow
The Hippodrome hosted the regional debut of "Cleopatra" with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in 1963 and the Baltimore premiere of "My Fair Lady" in 1964.
By the 1970s, people began leaving the city and flocking to suburban movie complexes. The city's once bustling downtown retail core had declined as such businesses as Read's drugstore and Hecht's department store closed. That left the Hippodrome to showing "blaxploitation" films, including "Uptight" in 1971 and "Uptown Saturday Night" in 1974.
When it closed in 1990, the Hippodrome was the city's last downtown first-run movie theater. It was donated to the state in 1997.

Dallas-Fort Worth job growth slowed last year, but it's still hot
If there's any doubt about the economic slowdown, just look at the Dallas-Fort Worth employment numbers. Early in 2007, the D-FW area was churning out new jobs at a pace of more than 95,000 a year. But by December – the most recent numbers – the local job gain had fallen to about 65,800. Even with that big falloff in job growth, the area had one of the hottest employment markets in the country last year. The economy in D-FW was even stronger than energy boomtown Houston, which had 59,800 more jobs at the end of last month than it did in December 2006, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. But the deceleration on the D-FW job market is worth worrying about. Job growth is the engine that drives the real estate industry in demand for everything from apartments to office space.
