Gov. David Paterson may not seek new term

Gov. David Paterson will hold a press conference today in New York City to announce that he will not be seeking another term, say Democratic insiders.

Paterson formally announced his decision to run on Friday, but has retracted the statement amidst a controversy over the handling of his aide's domestic abuse case. The governor has been experienced declining support from his own party, and his campaign funds were a fraction of his opponents.

Andrew Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, is expected to take the Democratic nomination in his place. Cuomo has already funded a campaign five times larger than Paterson.

"The governor isn't feeling pushed out," says an inside source who spoke to the AP this morning. "He certainly realizes it's a very difficult decision to do a campaign and govern and the focus now is on governing and the best interests of the state."

SeaWorld CEO says killer whale shows will continue Saturday

SeaWorld CEO says killer whale shows will resume on Saturday following the death of a whale trainer during a live show on Wednesday.

Dawn Brancheau, 40, was killed after suffering multiple injuries and ultimately drowning when the whale grabbed her by her ponytail and dragged her underwater. Terrified onlookers watched in horror at the Shamu Stadium in Orlando, FL.

SeaWorld CEO Jim Atchison said at a news conference today that a charitable foundation will be established for Brancheau. Atchison also promises an investigation of practices at SeaWorld.

"The incident is a terrible, terrible incident for us," Atchison said in an interview with CNN. "We are looking at every piece of information we have."

Canadian women's hockey team unorthodox celebration

After most of the press had left the rink following the Canadian women's hockey 2-0 victory against the United States on Thursday, the Olympic gold medalists celebrated by lighting up cigars and drinking beers.

Posing for pictures, chugging Molson’s, and popping champagne, these Canadians sure know how to celebrate. But not after having earned the ability to do so.

"We commit. We work hard," said Canadian captain Hayley Wickenheiser in an interview with Sports Illustrated.  "This is not as easy as it looks, trust me."

Nevertheless, the festivities might be cut short. Executive director of the IOC Gilbert Felli said they would be investigating the celebration, deeming that it did not "promote good sport values."

"It's not what we want to see," Filli said.
