2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial election
The 2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 2010, to elect the Governor of Oklahoma. Due to term limits established by the Oklahoma Constitution, incumbent Democratic Governor Brad Henry could not seek re-election. The race had been hotly contested by both political parties, with several well-known Oklahomans announcing their candidacy up to two years before the election. This was the first time a woman challenged another woman for Governor of Oklahoma. The non-partisan Cook Political Report and CQ Politics rate the gubernatorial election as "likely Republican" and "leaning Republican", respectively. On November 2, 2010, Republican candidate Mary Fallin was elected, defeating Democratic candidate Jari Askins.


2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial election, Overview
Democratic governor Brad Henry was easily re-elected in 2006 and maintained the highest approval rating of any state official in Oklahoma. In 2008, Republicans made gains in the state legislature and took control of both the House and the Senate for the first time in Oklahoma history.


2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial election, Overview
As both parties nominated female candidates (Jari Askins for the Democrats and Mary Fallin for the Republicans; both of whom have also previously held the office of lieutenant governor), and as no third-party or write-in candidate qualified for the ballot, Oklahoma was guaranteed its first ever female governor.


2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial election, General election, Results
Askins carried only four counties: her home county of Stephens and neighboring Comanche, Cotton, and Jefferson. While Fallin carried the rest of the state, her margins varied, ranging from narrow wins in much of Eastern Oklahoma to a 66-point victory in staunchly Republican Beaver County.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation
The 2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation was a criminal investigation that focused on whether Oklahoma State Representative Randy Terrill (R-Moore), State Representative Mike Christian (R-Oklahoma City), and State Senator Debbe Leftwich (D-Oklahoma City) engaged in political corruption involving the Office of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) had suffered from a large backlog of cases due to a low number of physicians. In early 2010, the Board of Medicolegal Investigations, which is the governing body of OCME, placed Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Collie Trant, M.D., on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons. Within days, the Board terminated Dr. Trant.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
Soon after Dr. Trants' termination, Governor of Oklahoma Brad Henry directed State Health Commissioner Terry Cline to review the operations of OCEM and make a report recommending both operational and statutory changes. In late March, Commissioner Cline released his report on OCME. In his report, Cline recommended both greater oversight authority on the part of the Medicolegal Investigations Board as well as restructuring the organization of OCME. Cline outline three models for possible reorganization but recommended the model that made the most sweeping changes.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
Under currently State law, the Chief Medical Examiner, who must be a licensed physician, is the executive head of OCME, responsible for all operations and administration of the agency. Cline recommended that State law be changed to establish a non-physician Administrator as head of OCME who would be responsible for all agency operations, with the position of Chief Medical Examiner overseeing all medical operations and reporting to the Administrator. Cline pointed to the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Oklahoma State Department of Health as examples of this model.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
Following the release of Cline's report, President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate Glenn Coffee and Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives Chris Benge proposed Senate Bill 738 which would have enacted many of Cline's recommendations, including the establishment of a Transition Coordinator. The Transition Coordinator, as provided by SB738, was to oversee the transition of OCME from its current location in Oklahoma City to Edmond and received an annual salary of $80,000. SB738 passed the Senate 45-0 and passed House of Representatives 58-40.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
Immediately following the passage of SB738, Democratic State Senator Debbe Leftwich announced that she would not seek reelection. On the same day, Republican State Representative Mike Christian announced that he would seek Leftwich's seat.


2010 Oklahoma political corruption investigation, Background
Citing legislative misconduct, Governor Henry vetoed SB738 on June 6 after being briefed by Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater on his ongoing investigation over political corruption involving that bill. Days later, DA Prater announced that he had launched a political corruption investigation of State Representative Randy Terrill (R-Moore), State Senator Leftwich and State Representative Christian over allegations that those legislators conspired to use SB738 to create a state job specifically for Senator Leftwich in OCME in exchange for her agreeing not to seek re-election. This, according to allegations, would make way for Representative Christian to fill her vacant Senate seat.


2010 Oklahoma state budget
The Oklahoma State Budget for Fiscal Year 2010, is a spending request by Governor Brad Henry to fund government operations for July 1, 2009–June 30, 2010. Governor Henry and legislative leader approved the budget in May 2009.

2010 Oklahoma state budget, Overview
The state budget for fiscal year 2010 began with a decrease in tax revenues of almost $310 million, or 4.4%, from the previous fiscal year. A primary reason for this decrease was enactment of  in 2006. HB1172 enacted the largest tax cut in state history by lowering the state income tax rate from 6.25% in 2006 to 5.25% in 2011. HB1172 also increased the standard deduction to match the federal standard deduction in 2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed February 2009 and the State applied for money available under the act. This included $404 million for the state Medicaid program and $236 million for education, among others. These funds allowed the Oklahoma Legislature to balance the state budget.


2010 Oklahoma state budget, Overview
Early on in the fiscal year, the effects of the late-2000s recession reached Oklahoma and caused tax revenues to decrease significantly. The Governor's Office reported that tax revenues decreased $1.2 billion between July 2009 and September 2009. This decrease caused Governor Brad Henry to order all state agencies to decrease their budgets by 5%. By November 2009, Governor Henry ordered the cuts increased to 7% and then to 7.5% by January 2010. By the end of the fiscal year, tax revenues had decreased from an estimated $6.8 billion in 2009 to $5.3 billion in 2010, a net decrease of 22%.

2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 744
State Question 744 would have amended the Oklahoma Constitution by adding a new article: Article 13-C - Amount of money the State provides to support common schools.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 744
The proposed Constitutional amendment would have mandated that the Oklahoma Legislature spend no less than the average amount spent by "neighboring states" (those states which border Oklahoma: Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico) on "common education" (defined as grades pre-kindergarten through high school) on an annual, per-student basis. If the surrounding-state average ever declined, the legislature would be required to spend the same amount as it did the year before. The measure required that increased spending begin in the first fiscal year after its passage and that the surrounding-state average be met in the third fiscal year after passage.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 744
The proposed amendment did not provide a funding source for the new spending requirements and was therefore overwhelmingly defeated.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 746
State Question 746 would amend various State laws relating to voting requirements. It requires that each person appearing to vote present a document proving their identity. The document must meet the following requirements:


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 746
No expiration date would be required on certain identity cards issued to person 65 years of age or older. In lieu of such a document, voters could present voter identification cards issued by the County Election Board. A person who cannot or does not present the required identification may sign a sworn statement and cast a provisional ballot. Swearing to a false statement would be a felony.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 746
If approved, the measure would become effective July 1, 2011.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 747
State Question 747 would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by placing term limits on all Statewide elected officials. All officials would be allowed to serve no more two terms in office. Terms served need not be consecutive for the limits to apply.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 748
State Question 748 would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by amending Article 5, Sections 11A and 11B. The measure would change how the districts of the Oklahoma Legislature are apportioned.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 748
Currently, the Apportionment Commission is responsible for setting district boundaries every ten years if the Legislature itself fails to do so. The Apportionment Commission, as currently established, is composed of the Attorney General, the State Treasurer and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The measure would change the commission's name to the Bipartisan Commission on Legislative Apportionment and would increase the number of members from three to seven. The President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate would appoint one Democrat and one Republican, the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives would appoint one Democrat and one Republican, and the Governor of Oklahoma would appoint one Democrat and one Republican.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 748
The Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma would chair the commission and would be a nonvoting member. It requires orders of apportionment to be signed by at least four members of the commission.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 750
This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by altering the initiative petitions and with referendum petitions process by changing the number of signatures required for such petitions.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 750
These percentages are based upon the State office receiving the most total votes at the last General Election when the Governor is on the ballot. The measure's basis does not use General Elections with the President on the ballot. More votes are usually cast at Presidential General Elections. Thus, the measure would generally have a lowering effect on the number of required signatures.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 751
This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by adding a new Article to the Constitution. That Article would deal with the State's official actions. It dictates the language to be used in taking official State actions must be the English language. However, it allows for Native American languages could also be used and, when Federal law so requires, other languages could also be used.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 751
The term "official actions" is not defined. The Oklahoma Legislature could pass laws determining the application of the language requirements. No lawsuit based on State law could be brought on the basis of a State agency's failure to use a language other than English nor could such a lawsuit be brought against political subdivisions of the State.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 752
This measure would amend Section 3 of Article 7-B of the Oklahoma Constitution. The amendment adds two at-large members to the Oklahoma Judicial Nominating Commission. At-large members can come from any Oklahoma congressional district. The President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma Senate would appoint one of the new at-large members and the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives would appoint the other. At-large members cannot be lawyers, can not have a lawyer in their immediate family. Nor can more than two at-large members be from the same political party. This would raise the total membership on the commission from 13 to 15.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 754
This measure would have added a new section, Section 55A of Article 5, to the Oklahoma Constitution. Under the measure, the Constitution could not have required the Oklahoma Legislature to fund state functions based on:


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 754
Under the measure, these limits on the Constitution's power to control appropriations would have applied even if:

The Question was in direct opposition toward State Question 744 which also appeared on the ballot.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 755
This measure amended the Constitution of Oklahoma. It requires courts to rely solely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law or using Sharia.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 755
The results of State Question 755 have not been officially certified by the Oklahoma Election Board due to an injunction filed in Federal Court by the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR is challenging its constitutionality under the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution of the United States. A Federal District Court in Oklahoma City temporarily blocked certification of the election results, calling the measure an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment because the measure conveys a message that the state favors one religion or particular belief. The state election board appealed the ruling to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, but that court unanimously upheld the ruling blocking the amendment:


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 755
The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on January 10, 2012 unanimously upheld a ruling blocking the implementation of an Oklahoma constitutional amendment that would have prohibited state courts from considering Islamic and international law in deciding cases. Approved by approximately 70 percent of Oklahoma voters, but challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), State Question 755, also called the “Save Our State Amendment,” was classified by the court as singling out Islam for unfavorable treatment in state courts. The court ruled that the provision likes violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 756
This measure adds a new section, Section 37 to Article 2, of Oklahoma Constitution. It defines "health care system." It prohibits making a person participate in a health care system, prohibits making an employer participate in a health care system, and prohibits making a health care provider provide treatment in a health care system.


2010 Oklahoma state elections, State Questions, SQ 756
It would allow persons and employees to pay for treatment directly, it would allow health care provider to accept payment for treatment directly, it would allow the purchase of health care insurance in private health care systems and it would allow the sale of health insurance in private health care systems.

The Question was proposed as an opposition toward the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

This measure amends Section 23 of Article 10 of the Oklahoma Constitution. It would increase the amount of surplus revenue which goes into the Constitutional Reserve Fund.

Jeremiah Masoli threw the only offensive touchdown for the Rebels late in the third quarter to Melvin Harris.


2010 Ole Miss Rebels football team, Alabama
An interception by Mark Barron in the fourth quarter ended the Rebels' chances as they fell to the defending champions 23–10. Despite the loss, the Rebels defense played their best game of the season as they allowed just 100 rushing yards by Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, and sacked Greg McElroy 5 times.


2010 Ole Miss Rebels football team, Arkansas
The Rebels traveled to Fayetteville to face the Arkansas Razorbacks in week 8. It was an incredibly slow start for the Rebels as they found themselves trailing 21–0 halfway through the second quarter. Ole Miss got back in the game however with an 18-yard touchdown pass from Jeremiah Masoli. Following a 30-minute lightning delay, Masoli hooked up with Markeith Summers for a 43-yard touchdown pass to cut to Razorback lead 24–17. Knile Davis ran for a 71-yard touchdown two plays later, but Masoli answered with another touchdown pass to Summers to make the score 31–24.


2010 Ole Miss Rebels football team, Arkansas
Another lightning delay suspended play immediately following the score. Despite a valiant effort to come back, the Rebels' defense could not gather themselves as they gave up a 22-yard touchdown run by Knile Davis to put the game away. With the loss, the Rebels fell below .500 for the third time on the year, and fell to 3–4 for the second time under Houston Nutt. Masoli finished the game with a season-high 327 pass yards and 3 touchdowns.

2010 Ole Miss Rebels football team, Auburn
The Rebels were toe-to-toe with the Tigers after one quarter, but things went downhill after that. Auburn went on a 30–3 scoring run entering the fourth quarter. Brandon Bolden scored 2 touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to overcome the Tigers. The Rebels fell 51–31, and found themselves 3–5 on the season (1–4 in SEC play).

2010 Ole Miss Rebels football team, Louisiana–Lafayette

2010 Olympic Village
The Vancouver Olympic Village (VVL), is an Olympic Village built by Millennium Development Group for the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. There are over a thousand units, ranging over a million square feet, that was able to accommodate over 2,800 athletes, coaches, and officials for the 2010 Winter Olympics.


2010 Olympic Village
The site, a former industrial area which mostly consisted of parking lots, is located on the shoreline at the southeast corner of False Creek, north of First Avenue between Ontario and Columbia Streets.


2010 Olympic Village
Just south of Science World, its waterfront is part of the False Creek Seawall promenade and bike route, and is adjacent to the stations of the Granville Island Heritage Railway, the Spyglass Place pedestrian ferry wharf (served by Aquabus and False Creek Ferries), the Science World pedestrian ferry wharf (normally served by Aquabus and False Creek Ferries but closed temporarily from 25 January 2010 to 24 March 2010) and the Main Street and Olympic Village SkyTrain stations.


2010 Olympic Village, Whistler Olympic and Paralympic Village
The Whistler Olympic and Paralympic Village (WVL) is located in Whistler, British Columbia, it served the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2010 Winter Paralympics. Smaller than the VVL, it accommodated 2,400 athletes, coaches, and officials with 450 beds made especially with wheelchair access. Site preparation began in 2006 with construction starting in March 2007 and it was completed in Summer 2009.


2010 Olympic Village, About
The site has 252 affordable housing units and another 100 units are for "modest market housing". Southeast False Creek is the designation given to the neighbourhood the Olympic Village resides in, bordered by Cambie, Main, West 2nd Avenue, and False Creek. The City of Vancouver projects that Southeast False Creek will eventually become home to up to 16,000 people by 2020.


2010 Olympic Village, About
The site currently boasts a 45,000 square foot community centre, named the Creekside Community Recreation Centre.


2010 Olympic Village, Construction
Preparation and construction of the site Vancouver began in February 2006. Construction was completed on 1 November 2009 by the Millennium Development Group, and turned over to the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) for use during the Winter Games. On 7 April 2010 it was returned to the City of Vancouver. The village was converted into residential housing, a community centre, daycare, retail, and service spaces.


2010 Olympic Village, Construction
Residents released video documenting major problems with their units, including water pouring out of light fixtures, heat not working, cracks in ceilings, hardwood floors bubbling from moisture and bedrooms too small to fit a bed. More than 60 condo owners at the Village filed a class-action lawsuit against the builder. The lawsuits were subsequently dropped.


2010 Olympic Village, Construction
On 12 December 2014, the City of Vancouver unveiled a plaque honouring Millennium Development Group's role in designing, developing and constructing the Olympic Village, named "Millennium Water Olympic Village". The wording on the plaque states:


2010 Olympic Village, Construction
"North America's first LEED Platinum community was designed, developed and constructed by Peter and Shahram Malek's Millennium Development Group in time to open as the athletes' village for the successful Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.


2010 Olympic Village, Construction
Formerly an industrial site, Millennium Water Olympic Village was the catalyst for the revitalization of the surrounding False Creek neighbourhood and is a testament to the innovation, hard work and community spirit of the Malekyazdi family and hundreds of men and women who helped make this vision a reality."


2010 Olympic Village, Funding crisis
On 15 January 2009, Jody Andrews, the deputy city manager overseeing construction of the Olympic Village, resigned. Vancouver city manager, Penny Ballem, said "There was no reason for the public to lose confidence in City Hall over the resignation".


2010 Olympic Village, Funding crisis
Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson, made a request to the British Columbia provincial government to allow the City of Vancouver to borrow additional funds to complete the project. On 18 January 2009, an emergency meeting convened by the BC Legislature approved Bill 47, allowing the City of Vancouver unlimited access to additional funds for the development of the Olympic Village. The estimated new total cost is CAN$1 billion to build VVL, approximately CAN$ 467 million dollars were required by the City of Vancouver to complete the project.


2010 Olympic Village, Funding crisis
The project ran into financial woes late last year as well as the lender, Fortress Investment Group, a New York hedge fund, stopped payments to the village's holding company, SEFC Properties Ltd. Bill 47 is an unusual amendment to the charter for the Olympics in that it changes the original requirement that all additional borrowing is prohibited without a public referendum, and also that it was until this legislation was passed that it was illegal for the City of Vancouver to pursue such financial dealings. The city, in order to meet its Olympics commitments, required extraordinary legislative proceedings to amend the city's charter to allow it to borrow to buy out the loan from Fortress.


2010 Olympic Village, Funding crisis
In November 2010, seven months after the successful completion of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the village's holding company and the City of Vancouver agreed to place the property into voluntary receivership.


2010 Olympic Village, Funding crisis
A review by Rob MacDonald, a noted Vancouver developer, for the Vancouver Sun, and subsequently by others, praised the developer, Millennium Development Group, for their accomplishment in creating the Vancouver Olympic Village under trying circumstances.


2010 Olympic Village, Australia banner controversy
A giant banner hung from the Village by members of the Australian team attracted controversy in early February 2010 when a member of the International Olympic Committee toured the site and expressed concern that it might contravene policy, as the banner is not the flag of Australia but rather depicts a kangaroo wearing boxing gloves. The Australian deputy prime minister at the time Julia Gillard called the request for the banner's removal a disgrace. According to a representative of the Australian team, the flag has been at every Olympic Village since the 2000 Games in Sydney.


2010 Olympic Village, Australia banner controversy
The image had flown from the victorious Australian yacht in the 1983 America's Cup and is now a mascot of Australia's Olympic teams; the Australian Olympic Committee owns the image's trademark. After IOC president Jacques Rogge discussed the issue with John Coates, chief of the AOC, it was confirmed that the flag could remain at the Olympic Village.


2010 Olympic Village, Australia banner controversy
"While the IOC is of the view that the display of the boxing kangaroo at the Olympic village is a breach of the IOC rules relating to clean venues, the IOC is not going to request us to take down the boxing kangaroo flag on this occasion," Coates said. The AOC was required to register the image with the IOC. The controversy sparked a demand for a version of the boxing-kangaroo flag at a Vancouver flag shop.

2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season
The 2010 season for Omega Pharma–Lotto began in January with the Tour Down Under and ended in October at the Chrono des Nations. As a UCI ProTour team, they were automatically invited and obliged to send a squad to every event in the ProTour.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Stage races
The team attended the Tour Down Under, with a squad headed by Jurgen Roelandts, who did not win any stage but did win the best young rider competition.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Omega Pharma-Lotto came to the Giro with a young squad – Bakelandts, Blythe, and De Greef were all eligible for the youth classification, and Wegelius was the only rider older than 30 – headed by Lang. Their outside contender for the general classification was Moreno, and Elijzen was included on the squad with the time trials in mind. In stage 3 in the Netherlands, Blythe made the late selection for a depleted group sprint finish, taking fifth, one spot ahead of the season's most prolific winner André Greipel.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
The squad's best-placed rider prior to the transfer to Italy was Lang in 33rd. The squad rode solidly in the stage 4 team time trial, finishing with seven riders (only Elijzen and Blythe fell off the pace) in a seventh place time 46 seconds off the pace of stage winners Liquigas–Doimo.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
In stage 6, Lloyd and Androni Giocattoli rider Rubens Bertogliati formed the day's principal breakaway after 45 km (28 mi). Lloyd led Bertogliati over the day's first two climbs before breaking free of him before the last. He soloed over the Bedizzano and, 11 km (6.8 mi) later, the finish line, winning the stage 1'15" ahead of the peloton. Lloyd also took the green jersey as mountains classification leader with the day's results. Lloyd made early morning breakaways in stages 8, 11, and 20 to take mountains points on climbs early in the course those days. Lloyd wore the green jersey for the rest of the Giro, winning the classification in Verona at the Giro's conclusion. Lloyd also won the combativity classification, an award determined by points given for riders' positions in stage finishes, mountain climbs, and intermediate sprints.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Lloyd's victories were the only ones the squad attained. Bakelandts finished in the top ten on the very difficult, muddy stage 7 in Tuscany and again in stage 11, when a 50-rider breakaway led to massive changes in the overall standings. Lang made a winning breakaway in stage 13, finishing fifth in the sprint for the stage win. Elijzen took eighth in the Giro's final field sprint, in stage 18. The squad finished fifth in the Trofeo Fast Team standings and 16th in the Trofeo Super Team.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Omega Pharma-Lotto's squad leader at the Tour de France was Van Den Broeck, who hoped to finish the race in the top ten after a 15th place in the 2009 event. They rode without Gilbert, who was concentrating on the Vuelta a España later in the season, and without French national time trial champion Péraud, who was not yet recovered from injuries sustained in the Critérium du Dauphiné.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
The squad did little on the first three days of the Tour, taking a couple of meaningless top placings with Roelandts on stages which both involved neutralizations. In stage 3, which covered several cobbled sectors in an area on the border between Belgium and France, Van Den Broeck finished with the second group on the road, 53 seconds behind the stage winner. This was good for ninth on the day and propelled him from 33rd overall up to tenth, as many riders who had been ahead of him, including some overall favorites, lost significant time.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
The overall standings did not change again until stage 7, which ended at Station des Rousses in the Jura, the first stage with any significant amount of climbing. Van Den Broeck finished with the elite riders in the race. His time gaps to his rivals were unchanged, but since Fabian Cancellara, Geraint Thomas, and Thor Hushovd, who had been ahead of him, finished well back, he moved up to seventh overall. Also on this stage, Moreno followed a move instigated by Pierrick Fédrigo in the final kilometer and finished 7 seconds ahead of the peloton, for sixth on the day.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Van Den Broeck was on good form again the next day in a more mountainous stage, finishing with the elite riders again. While he was part of a nine-rider group who lost ten seconds to Andy Schleck and Samuel Sánchez, who aggressively sought the stage win, he moved up a further four places with this result, occupying fourth overall before the Tour's first rest day.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
In the first stage after the rest day, Van Den Broeck lost time on the Col de la Madeleine. The race's elite riders lost between two and three minutes to Schleck and Alberto Contador, who had bridged up to the morning breakaway. Van Den Broeck ceded 40 seconds to Denis Menchov, which allowed the Russian to pass him in the overall classification. The next day, Aerts made the morning escape, but was unable to maintain the pace by eventual stage winner Sérgio Paulinho, finishing fifth on the day a minute and a half back.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
An otherwise flat stage 12 ended with a short but nearly vertical climb to Mende. Van Den Broeck rode with the front group most of the day, but again lost ten seconds at the finish line, this time to Contador and stage winner Joaquim Rodríguez. Van Den Broeck had trailed the race elite on the climb to Ax-3-Domaines, but when Contador and Schleck engaged in a bizarre track stand for a few moments, he caught back up and finished with them.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
With time losses by Levi Leipheimer, who had been in sixth place, Van Den Broeck's advantage over the next man in the standings (now Robert Gesink) was extended to nearly a minute. Van Den Broeck lost eight seconds to the race's top riders the next day, but Gesink slipped further, so his advantage was increased.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Van Den Broeck came ninth in the Tour's 17th and queen stage, which finished at the Col du Tourmalet. Most of the race's elite riders finished ahead of him, but he lost only eight seconds to Gesink and still had a solid hold on fifth overall after this stage. During the stage 19 individual time trial, a drastic change in wind direction occurred, meaning the earlier starters posted considerably better times than those who came later.


2010 Omega Pharma–Lotto season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Van Den Broeck started fifth-from-last as the fifth place man in the race and was 71st on this stage, over seven minutes off the winning time, but his main rival Gesink was 109th and a further 90 seconds slower. He finished the Tour in this position after its largely ceremonial final road race stage. Also in the last days of the Tour, Roelandts took two high placings in the final two road race stages, seventh in stage 18 and fourth on the Champs-Élysées to close out the race. The squad finished fifth in the teams classification. They did not win anything at the Tour, but did achieve the stated goal of a top-ten placing for Van Den Broeck.

2010 Open Championship
The 2010 Open Championship was a men's major golf championship and was held from 15 to 18 July over the Old Course at St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. It was the 150th anniversary of the founding of The Open in 1860, and the 28th time The Open was played at St Andrews. Usually branded with the edition of the championship (for example, the previous year's Open was branded as the "138th Open Championship"), due to the sesquicentennial anniversary, the R&A branded this as the "150th Anniversary Open Championship" rather than "139th Open Championship." The standard branding returned the following year.


2010 Open Championship
Louis Oosthuizen won his only major championship with 272 (−16), seven strokes clear of runner-up Lee Westwood. A stroke behind in third were Paul Casey, Rory McIlroy, and Henrik Stenson.


2010 Open Championship, Venue
St Andrews is considered to be the home of golf, and as such, the current Open Championship rota means that the Old Course plays host to the championship every five years. Given the course's standing, even more attention is given to The Open whenever it visits the historic links.


2010 Open Championship, Venue
The previous two Opens at St Andrews, in 2000 and 2005, were both won by Tiger Woods, the first with a record 19-under-par total. The primary change to the course from 2005 was at the par-4 17th hole; a new tee extended the Road Hole to 495 yards (453 m), an increase of 40 yards (37 m). Although not altered, the measurement angle of the dogleg was revised for hole #7, resulting in a new length of 371 yards (339 m), a reduction of 19 yards (17 m).

2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, First round
For the 28th time, the Open Championship took to the Old Course at St Andrews, and it played perhaps the easiest it has in all its history, with 73 players under par. Rory McIlroy tied a major championship record with 63 (−9), only the eighth 63 in Open Championship history, and the 22nd in major championship history. He was bogey-free and played his last ten holes at −8. Louis Oosthuizen was alone in second with 65.


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, First round
A big surprise of the first round was John Daly; the 1995 champion at St Andrews was at 66, in five-way tie for third with Bradley Dredge, Peter Hanson, Andrew Coltart, and Steven Tiley. Tiger Woods, who switched from his old Scotty Cameron putter to a Nike Method putter that week, headlined the group of nine tied for eighth at 67 (−5). That group included PGA Champion Yang Yong-eun and Lee Westwood. 2009 champion Stewart Cink and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell were at 71, tied for 58th, and Masters champion Phil Mickelson struggled with the putter to a 73.


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, Second round
Mark Calcavecchia had the earliest tee time and took advantage of the morning conditions to shoot a 67 (−5) for a 137 (−7). Louis Oosthuizen played in the next group and also shot 67 to move into first place at 132 (−12), five shots ahead of Calcavecchia. Phil Mickelson posted a 71 to get to even-par 144. However, the conditions were significantly worse in the afternoon. Rory McIlroy followed his 63 (−9) in the opening round with 80 (+8) for 143 (−1).


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, Second round
Jason Dufner's ball would not stay still on the 7th green due to the gale force 40 mph (65 km/h) winds, which caused play to be suspended for 66 minutes. Winds also caused backup on the course, and some rounds took 7½ hours. Tiger Woods had a bad start with bogeys on the first two holes, and despite three-putting four times that day, grinded out to shoot 73 (+1) on Friday for 140 (−4), 8 shots behind the leader. Notable players who missed the cut were Ernie Els, Pádraig Harrington, Tom Watson, and Jim Furyk.


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, Second round
Amateurs: Jeong (−6), Chun (+3), An (+7), Abbott (+8), Dubuisson (+9), Hatton (+11), Canter (+16).


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, Third round
Mark Calcavecchia quickly fell out of contention when he played his first five holes in seven over par. Tiger Woods struggled with the flat stick, with 35 putts for the round and ten three-putts through 54 holes. Phil Mickelson mounted a charge at four-under-par through 13 holes, but fell back with a double-bogey on 16. Louis Oosthuizen's consistency never wavered, and he ended the day with a four-shot lead over Paul Casey, who shot a five-under 67.


2010 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round
Louis Oosthuizen shot a final round 71 to win his first major championship by seven shots. He played consistently all day, including an eagle at the drivable 9th hole. Paul Casey was in contention until a triple bogey at the 12th, which Oosthuizen birdied. Earlier in the day, Rickie Fowler shot 67 to move into a tie for 14th, despite opening the championship with a 79. Tiger Woods switched back to his old putter with improved results, but poor ball striking left him with an even-par 72. Phil Mickelson made a charge early in his round, but poor putting led to him a 75. Rory McIlroy bounced back well from his 80 on Friday and finished tied for third.

2010 Orange Bowl
The 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl game featured the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Iowa Hawkeyes on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, at Land Shark Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Iowa won the game 24–14, securing the Hawkeyes' first major bowl win since the 1959 Rose Bowl.


2010 Orange Bowl
Georgia Tech was selected to participate in the Orange Bowl after an 11–2 season that culminated in a 39–34 victory in the 2009 ACC Championship Game. Iowa was selected as the other half of the matchup after a 10–2 season that ended with a 12–0 win against Minnesota. In the weeks between the teams' selection and the playing of the game, media attention focused on Georgia Tech's proficient offense and Iowa's highly rated defense.


2010 Orange Bowl
The game was part of the 2009–10 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) of the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season and the last game of the season for both teams. It was the coldest Orange Bowl in Miami's history with a kick-off temperature of 49 degrees.


2010 Orange Bowl
The game was televised in the United States on FOX, and marked the end of the broadcast agreement between the BCS and FOX, as ESPN took over all BCS broadcast rights in 2011. This was Iowa's second Orange Bowl appearance (first appearance in 2003 Orange Bowl), and Georgia Tech's sixth appearance, but first since 1967. It was the first time that the two teams had played against each other.


2010 Orange Bowl
On July 14, 2011, the NCAA vacated Georgia Tech's appearance in the bowl game as a consequence for violations committed by the football program.


2010 Orange Bowl, Team selection
The Orange Bowl is one of five Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl games that have been played at the conclusion of every college football season since 2006. As defined by contract, the bowl matches the champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) against an at-large pick chosen by a special committee. On December 5, 2009, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets defeated the Clemson Tigers in the 2009 ACC Championship Game, thus winning an automatic bid to the 2010 Orange Bowl Game.


2010 Orange Bowl, Team selection
The at-large spot in the Orange Bowl was filled via a round-robin selection procedure defined by the other Bowl Championship series games (the Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose bowls) and the automatic bids. The order of at-large selections rotates annually among the BCS bowls. In 2010, after the bowls who lost host teams to the 2010 BCS National Championship Game chose their replacements, the Orange Bowl picked first, followed by the Fiesta Bowl, then the Sugar Bowl. Having lost their SEC tie-in (Alabama Crimson Tide) to the national title game, the Sugar Bowl chose the Florida Gators as the replacement.


2010 Orange Bowl, Team selection
Likewise, the Fiesta Bowl picked the Texas Christian Horned Frogs to replace the Big-12 champion 2010 Texas Longhorns. The Orange Bowl then selected the Iowa Hawkeyes, while the Fiesta Bowl picked the Boise State Broncos to set up a battle of the unbeatens.
