The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter Olympics, will be a major international multi-sport event held on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond. Both the Olympic and Paralympic Games are being organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC). The 2010 Winter Olympics will be the third Olympics hosted by Canada, and the first by the province of British Columbia. Previously, Canada was home to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.
Following Olympic tradition, then Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan received the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The flag was raised on February 28, 2006, in a special ceremony, and will be on display at Vancouver City Hall until the Olympic opening ceremony. The event will be officially opened by Governor General Micha?lle Jean.

Alec Baldwin was taken to the hospital Wednesday night and released soon after.
A rep for the actor told ET, “This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital. He’s completely fine and will be at work today.”
Reports allege that Baldwin’s daughter Ireland called 911 after finding her father irresponsive. He agreed to go to the hospital upon the medic’s arrival. After examination at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, doctors determined that he was able to return home.
