2. Astronomers have found a planet that is 3 times the mass of earth that may have liquid water on it! Very cool (thanks Gord): Newly discovered planet may be first truly habitable exoplanet
3. On this day in history... Canada's first woman mayor took office in Ottawa in 1951. Her first official order of business was to welcome Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip: http://archives.cbc.ca/on_this_day/10/01/
