The groups for the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 were drawn today, which should go at least some way to cheering up teams like Egypt and Tunisia who very narrowly missed the World Cup 2010 boat.

The tournament takes place in Angola from January 10th to January 31st, 2010. We’ve got blogs and bloggers for 12 of the 16 teams involved in the tournament.

Spokeswoman Brigadier Miranda Mills said: “The case was considered in court and the charges against Ms Hilton were dropped. Her friend Jennifer Rovero pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis and was sentenced.”

Earlier, a police source said: “The stadium is a smoke-free zone but at the end of the match an officer noticed Ms Hilton appeared to be smoking. Upon closer examination it became obvious she was smoking weed. That’s when she was arrested.”

Another officer, using the local slang for marijuana, added: “She was found in possession of some dagga. We don’t know how much.”

The hotel heiress flew into South Africa on Thursday by private jet from Los Angeles. After watching Holland’s 2-1 shock win she gushed on Twitter: “Had so much fun at the game today. What a match! I love South Africa!”

Later, after the court case, she added: “Everything is fine guys. I had nothing to do with it.”

Former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta has sued the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In a civil law suit, the SEC had accused Mr Gupta of revealing corporate information to hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam.

Court papers said Mr Gupta "stands ready to mount a defence against each and every one of the commission's charges".

Mr Gupta felt he had not been granted his "statutory and due process rights".

Attorney Gary Naftalis said in the court papers that the SEC had launched a "flawed case premised in large part on unreliable evidence being used in an attempt to bring down a man of sterling reputation and remarkable achievements without the procedural safeguards historically accorded to all persons similarly charged".

A civil lawsuit deprived him of his right to a judge and jury, he argued.
Buffett shares

The SEC had accused Mr Gupta of leaking details about Warren Buffett's $5bn investment in Goldman in 2008 to the Galleon hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam.

Mr Buffett's investment helped shore up Goldman during the financial crisis.

Separately, Goldman said it will buy back the preferred stock from Mr Buffett.

Mr Rajaratnam is accused of insider trading.

Both men deny any wrongdoing.
Eight years

In yet another separate development involving Goldman Sachs, a former computer programmer who stole secret code used in the bank's computer-driven trading system has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

Sergey Aleynikov, 41, was convicted of stealing trade secrets and transporting stolen property across state lines.

"I very much regret the foolish thing of downloading information," he said.
