WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top central banks around the world on Thursday renewed a series of currency swap lines set up during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, providing a precaution against future market strains.
The U.S. Federal Reserve said it had extended for another year the dollar swaps with the European Central Bank, Bank of Canada, Bank of England and Swiss National Bank. The announcement was released at the same time by the other central banks.
These provisions were an important part of the powerful response launched by monetary authorities during the crisis to keep global financial markets open, curbing lofty dollar funding costs which had spiraled due to fear over counter-party risk.
Swap arrangements were revised and extended in November, 2011 as the euro zone debt crisis intensified, to ease the dollar funding pressure being experienced by some European banks.
Washington views the problems in Europe as a direct threat to the U.S. economy's own tepid recovery owing to deep trade links, and sanctioning the dollar swaps is one direct way U.S. authorities can help out their European counterparts.
Use of the swap lines peaked at $583 billion in December, 2008 but has since steadily declined, and stood at around $12 billion earlier this month.
The Fed said the central banks had also renewed until February 1, 2014, bilateral currency swap arrangements that would also provide liquidity "should market conditions so warrant."
The Bank of Japan separately said that it will decide on joining the extension of central bank liquidity swap arrangements at its next policy meeting, on December 19-20.
The Fed's dollar swaps have led some political foes of the U.S. central bank to claim that it was putting American taxpayer money at risk. The Fed robustly denied this accusation.
It only conducts swaps with other central banks. These central banks may lend to proceeds on to private banks in their own countries, but they take on the credit risk from those transactions themselves and it is not borne by the Fed.
In addition, because the transactions are indeed "swaps", the Fed receives foreign currency in exchange for providing dollars, giving it with collateral in the event of non-repayment. It also earns interest on the dollars it provides.
Furthermore, all foreign exchange risk is hedged out in each swap, so there is no risk of the Fed suffering a loss from any change in currency values during the duration of the deal.

Edith Schaeffer, L'Abri Co-Founder, Wife of Francis Schaeffer, Passes Away
Evangelical leader Edith Schaeffer, who co-founded L'Abri, a Christian ministry, with her husband, prolific evangelical author Francis Schaeffer, passed away quietly in her sleep early Saturday.
L'Abri was founded in Switzerland in 1955 as a Christian retreat center where people of any faith, or no faith, could come to learn and discuss theological and philosophical issues. During the 1960s, it became popular among some of the counter-cultural, or "hippie," movements of the time.
"What a lovely person Edith is – and how thankful we are that she has gone at last to her eternal rest. One wonders, too, with her life-long and quite proper excitement about the 'great tapestry of God' could she have chosen a more fitting day than Easter Saturday to round off her own amazing contribution to that sublime fabric!" son-in law Ranald Macaulay wrote on the L'Abri website.
Schaeffer was born in 1914 to Christian missionaries in China. She married Francis in 1935 and they had four children together – Priscilla, Susan, Deborah and Frank.
Schaeffer wrote about 20 books, many dealing with prayer, family or raising children. She also authored a biography of herself and Francis that documented the history of L'Abri – The Tapestry: The Life and Times of Francis and Edith Schaeffer (1981).
L'Abri was influential among many Christian leaders, including the late Chuck Colson and Os Guiness, who taught at L'Abri.
While the Schaeffers were popular among counter-cultural movements in the 1960s, they were influential in the conservative Christian political movement, known as the Christian Right, during the 1970s and early 1980s. Francis Schaeffer wrote several books and produced videos, with the help of his son, Frank, that provided some of the intellectual foundations of the movement.
Frank Schaeffer would later reject much of his parents' teachings and now serves as a pundit and author representing a theologically and politically liberal Christian viewpoint. He wrote an obituary for his mother published in The Huffington Post.
"Mom's daily life was a rebuke and contradiction to people who see everything as black and white," Frank Schaeffer wrote. "Liberals and secularists alike who make smug disparaging declarations about 'all those evangelicals' would see their fondest prejudices founder upon the reality of my mother's compassion, cultural literacy and loving energy."

Landowners are likely to finance filter strips with cost share programs, not credit cards, but like those credit card commercials say, the benefits are priceless. Not only do filter strips protect water quality by trapping soil particles, nutrients and pesticides, they can also improve water infiltration and enhance wildlife habitat.
The recommended vegetation and dimensions vary depending on soils, land uses, and surface water flow (runoff), but filter strips all have the same basic function. Ideally, water runoff spreads out and flows as a thin "sheet" across the filter strip. Vegetation slows the runoff enough to let some suspended soil particles, plant debris and other contaminants settle out. This reduces sedimentation in streams. Trapping sediments in filter strips can be especially beneficial in streams that provide subsurface drainage outlets, as it can help reduce sediment removal costs associated with drainage maintenance.
Some plant nutrients, such as phosphorus and the ammonium form of nitrogen, bind to soil sediment, so trapping the sediment also traps those nutrients. Certain pesticides are also trapped with soil particles. In the filter strip, those pesticides break down and the nutrients fertilize the vegetation rather than disrupting the balance of life in the water downstream.
Another advantage is that water moving slowly through a filter strip has more time to soak in instead of running off and adding to surface flow. The ground in a filter strip is often more permeable than crop ground, so water soaks in faster, too.
Filter strips offer a variety of other benefits. The setback afforded by filter strips generally assures that less drift from spray applications will reach ditches or streams. This setback also provides a greater measure of safety to farm operators, as machinery can't operate as close to potentially hazardous stream or ditch banks. Under certain conditions, filter strips may also offer access to fields that might otherwise be hard to reach at certain times of the year.
Although filter strips usually aren't installed primarily to benefit wildlife, the vegetation provides food and cover that is especially attractive to songbirds and small mammals. The strips can also become travel corridors so wildlife can move from one area of habitat to another without the risk of crossing open fields.
Researchers have measured the advantages of filter strips with small-scale studies on individual fields and small watersheds. But showing the benefits in larger watersheds is still a challenge. Even if a filter strip makes a dramatic difference in the quality of water leaving a particular field, the benefit can be hard to measure in water from the whole watershed. That's why it's so important for landowners throughout a watershed to install filter strips.

RICHMOND, Virginia - Former U.S. Private Chelsea Manning who leaked classified U.S. military documents which exposed atrocities during the Iraq War has had her appeal against her contempt of court charge denied.

Manning who leaked documents to WikiLeaks had been asked to give evidence against that organizatioon and its founder Julian Assange, in March. When she refused to do so, the judge jailed her for contempt. She has been in prison since.

The three-judge panel of the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia on Monday rejected Manning's lawyer's arguments that she was being wrongfully held in contempt and should be granted bail at least while the contempt order was appealed.

Critics say she is being subjected to what is, in effect, arbitrary detention in order to compel her to testify against Assange, who himself is now in a London prison awaiting extradition to the United States, after being forcibly dragged out of the Ecuador embassy earlier this month on 11 April, despite the country granting him political asylum.

"While disappointing, we can still raise issues as the government continues to abuse the grand jury process. I don't have anything to contribute to this, or any other grand jury," Manning said in a statement released by her lawyers on Monday. "While I miss home, they can continue to hold me in jail, with all the harmful consequences that it brings. I will not give up."

Manning had her extraordinarily high 35-year sentence commuted by President Barack Obama shortly before he left office, after Manning had spent seven years of the 35-year term in prison.

She has been back in jail since 8 March when she refused to testify before the grand jury. She will now be held in prison indefinitely unless she changes her mind and testifies or the grand jury's term expires.

"We are of course disappointed that the Circuit declined to follow clearly established law, or consider the ample evidence of grand jury abuse," Manning's defense lawyer Moir Meltzer-Cohen said in a statement.

"It is improper for a prosecutor to use the grand jury to prepare for trial. As pointed out in Ms. Manning's motions and appeals, since her testimony is not necessary to the grand jury's investigation, the likely purpose for her subpoena is to help the prosecutor preview and undermine her potential testimony as a defense witness for a pending trial."

"We believed that the Appeals court would consider this, as it is strong evidence of an abuse of grand jury power that should excuse her testimony," Meltzer-Cohen said.

Manning's lawyers argued she had already told prosecutors everything relevant to her interactions with WikiLeaks during her court martial in 2010. She cited her First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights - to free speech, against unreasonable searches and seizure and against self-incrimination - as a justification for defying the grand jury.

Her lawyers also argued her detention is unreasonably cruel, since the jail is not equipped to provide Manning with necessary medical attention in connection with her gender reassignment surgery.

John Pilger, a long time activist for human rights and a world renowned journalist said Tuesday: "The rejection of Chelsea Manning's appeal against her imprisonment for contempt is a sign of lawless America."

"Manning had the constitutional right to remain silent and not collaborate with the notorious Virginia grand jury's corrupt indictment of Julian Assange. But the U.S. Constitution, and its amendments, exalted by American historians as inviolable guardians of freedom and justice, are now openly flouted by U.S. courts as America's lawlessness abroad is reflected in its institutions, notably the judiciary. The appeal rejection is a clear indication of the injustice awaiting Julian Assange should British courts allow his extradition."

Assange is facing a 2 May extradition hearing. He is being held in the high-security Belmarsh Prison, known as the UK's Guantanamo Bay. He was arrested for jumping bail over charges brought by Sweden, which were dropped some time ago.

Always nice to help someone with his family tree even if they are not related to me.
In this case Brian is.
This is the translation of the document Brian LeGacy sent me…
On 18 December 1817, Louis Mathurin born the same day of the legitimate marriage of Benjamin L'agacé farmer of this parish and of Marie-Émilienne Gagnon.
Godfather Louis Bérubé and Godmother Marguerite Ouellette who are unable to sign…
Father absent
Priest F. Painchaud
These acts are so interesting because more information is found when you have access to them.
Thanks to the Mormons' site Family Search you have access to the Quebec parish registers.
In this case the father was absent.
Not that he was drinking and smoking cigars at a local tavern. No. That's the way it was. The father was probably working on his farm and could not leave work to attend.
So Benjamin L'agacé, who was in reality Benjamin Lagacé, could not be there to his son's baptism.
You also have information about the parents and the godparents of Louis Mathurin, who later became known by the name Lewis Legacy.
I found out on a database that Benjamin Lagacé was first married to Charlotte Ouellette in 1805. I found two children, Marie and Nazaire. Marie married Magloire Castonguay.
In 1852, according to the census, they are living with two children and a Benjamin Lagacé, 74 years old, who is a widower.
This is most certainly Benjamin Lagacé, Lewis Legacy's father.
Émilienne Gagnon was Benjamin's second wife. They got married on February 12, 1817.
So Louis-Mathurin, born 18 December 1817, has to be their first child. Benjamin must have been elated.
With this information, you want to know more about the first marriage of Benjamin.
So you start digging some more.
I found out that Benjamin's parents were Joseph Mignier dit Lagacé and Catherine Bérubé. These are the names seen on the marriage act.
Catherine Bérubé…?
Does that surname sound familiar?
Catherine Bérubé must surely be related to Louis Bérubé the godfather of Louis-Mathurin…
With this new information, you want to know more about the Bérubé family and you start digging some more…
Catherine was the daughter of François Bérubé and Marie-Angélique Lévesque.
And all this searching can go on and on and on until you can't get no more sleep… or start writing articles on a blog about genealogy about someone's ancestors in Quebec.
I hope Brian is elated about all this…
Next time…
Who are Joseph Mignier dit Lagacé's parents?
You will learn not to believe everything you find on some genealogy sites.

Now don't get me wrong, I live in New Jersey and there are too many people who have been devestated by this storm to even think a few kids missing Halloween is anything. But of course, as we were not personally devestated by the storm, I feel for those kids. They are, afterall, only kids.
The hurricane has left me wondering how all the people affected will re-build, when we'll have power back ourselves, when my kids will go back to school, and of course when my mom will be able to return to her home in Lower Manhattan.
But it hasn't left me wondering what to write about Halloween.

On this morning's GMA, eliminated Australian Miss Universe contestant Stephanie Naumoska denied accusations that she is too thin. Then Diane Sawyer held up a plate in order to judge Naumoska's idea of a moderate portion.
In the clip at left, Naumoska says she flew all the way from Australia to appear on GMA because she wants to defend all the slender people who are victimized by what Sawyer calls "skinnyism." Naumoska explains, "I think that a role model shouldn't be judged by their appearance but rather by their actions or their lifestyle." Obviously, it's hypocritical for someone who was being ranked based on how she looks in a swimsuit to complain that people shouldn't be judged by their appearance. However, whether Naumoska is healthy or not, Sawyer holding a plate up to the camera so America could analyze exactly what she puts in her mouth made our skin crawl.

Senator Angus King has been sworn in. President Barack Obama is preparing for a second term which has been boosted by a fiscal cliff deal where House Republicans caved. The legislative majorities in Augusta are gone.
Republicans have a problem.
The result of endless infighting and internal resistance to the rising grassroots is a broken party.
It could have been Senator Scott D'Amboise sworn in as the successor to Senator Olympia Snowe. Although many in the Republican Party are still weary of the Tea Party movement or any freethinking grassroots movement, he would have been better than what we have now. Instead of a United States Senator willing to slash spending and audit the Federal Reserve, we have a Senator who endorses the increased debt for our children. Furthermore as noted in Undercover Porcupine in the past, Angus King opposes transparency when it comes to the Federal Reserve.
Instead of a Republican to help maintain the minority, another Democrat has joined to strengthen the opposing majority. What's worse is Senator King is a closet Democrat, only caucusing with the party, while posing as an independent individual.
Things could have been different however.
President Barack Obama is in for a second term, after delivering a beating to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in November. This result could have been prevented as well in two scenarios.
Republicans could have chosen a stronger candidate. Romney was weak, wooden, uninspiring, and flimsy on principles. Having a weak backbone is nothing new in either party, but when the growing grassroots demand it, it's time for that change to be made.
The likelihood of a different candidate being chosen was slim though. It became apparent early on that Romney was the chosen one, leaving the grassroots and everyday Republicans with no voice. This is another problem. Under the leadership of Reince Preibus, grassroots Republicans have been stripped of their future involvement. This all comes after a brutal presidential primary where the establishment regularly resorted to shady tactics to maintain control.
The Tea Party movement in 2010 and Ron Paul grassroots in 2012 both showed a strong ability to get things done. Although former party chairman Charlie Webster took an excess of credit in 2010 for what the Tea Party and everyday Republican grassroots did, it was the regular Mainers who sought change that put the party at the top. In 2012, the Ron Paul movement also showed a sophisticated and effective ability to accomplish their goals.
Now imagine if those entities had been embraced as opposed to being rejected?
Webster and Priebus, as well as every other leader in the county, made a serious tactical error when they focused more on control than the "big tent."
The power of the Republican Party is weakening, but the potential for greater strength is still there. New State Chairman Rich Cebra can create a powerful force by doing as his predecessor did not, and embracing the grassroots. Reince Preibus needs to be removed at the national level and replaced with someone like Cebra, as well.
The results so far are rough for any true conservative or libertarian. Senator King, two-term President Barack Obama, the weak House Republicans, and Democratic State Legislature are what our reality consists of. Republicans have no one else to blame but themselves though.
All of this can be changed for the better next time. It's time for the Republican establishment to step back and allow for the "big tent" to open.

The name of the app is to be announced in the near future."Our application is the first of its kind. Imagine being able to buy or sell a home as easily as ordering a ride from Uber or Lyft, or a pizza from Dominos – that's exactly what our app does," explained Roy Trent Jr., founder of Trent Real Estate."We wanted to create a one-stop shop for brokers, agents, buyers, sellers, and renters. With our app, you don't even need to speak to anyone; just pick up your phone and buy, sell, or rent when you need. We believe that this is a key step forward in the future for real estate brokerage."Trent, who has personally closed over $3 billion dollars' worth of real estate deals, is the mastermind behind the app, which has made the often-convoluted process of buying, selling, or renting a property a streamlined affair.Users simply fill out key areas of information such as descriptions, mortgage information and inspection days, then choose the commission percentage they would like to pay the agent they choose. The app has a full database of agents, each of whom competes for business on a first-accepted basis.Once an agent has accepted the agreement, the app is time-stamped and sent to both parties and accepted as a real contract. Users can also fill out mortgage documents, and related services such as property inspections from the app.The news comes not long after Inc. Magazine revealed that the real estate industry was ripe for tech disruption. Matt Hunckler, writing for the magazine, said, "real estate has dragged its feet to adopt new technology, and as a result, many processes are weighed down by paper. There is a lot of speculation about how real estate will be disrupted – but companies across the country already have boots on the ground. In 2016, 235 real estate tech companies received VC funding – compared to just 72 in 2012."Trent Real Estate's unique new app is at the vanguard of this transformation – and promises to be a revolution in the way that over 100m Americans will buy, sell, or rent property in the coming decades.For more information about Trent Real Estate's new proprietary software application and to view the business' current property portfolio, please visit http://www.trentrealestate.net.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and wait for the giant oil spill to come to your front door. Free oil! Cool! Let's have dinner by torchlight and make sticky bombs, everyone! LET'S GO!
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? – 8:00PM Friday (NBC) This celebrity genealogy vanity series has a relatively interesting test subject this week: director Spike Lee, who travels to Texas and Georgia and finds he's distantly related to WHITE people! No way! Watch as Spike convinces them to see "Girl 6" against their better judgment. ANTICIPATION: AND HE MAY BE RELATED TO REGGIE MILLER AS WELL! THE IRONY!
KENTUCKY DERBY – 4:00PM Saturday (NBC) That 4PM start time is a bit of a misnomer, given that it takes a solid ninety minutes of watching horses led out of a barn for them to get to the actual race itself. You also get Tom Hammond's face in HD, which is like looking into the eyes of Kuato from "Total Recall." Your Derby favorite is Lookin For Lucky at 3.5/1 odds. A bit of a presumptuous name, if you ask me. Ditto Awesome Act, which is what Dan Cook's handlers say to him after every show. And Stately Victor. All terribly arrogant. I only bet on horses based on names (who doesn't?), and so this year I like Homeboykris (Warm it up, Kris! He's about to! Warm it up, Kris! Cause that's what he was born to do!), Dublin (bet he's a drinker!), Devil May Care (he drinks expired milk!) and Ice Box (my father-in-law still calls fridges this!). We'll see who comes out on top in front of thousands of drunk Kentuckians in funny hats. ANTICIPATION: THEY TALK ABOUT HORSES LIKE THEY'RE PEOPLE!
WANDA SYKES SHOW – 11:30PM Saturday (FOX) Wanda hosts Mc Lyte. Man, I haven't heard that name in ages. Will Lyte consider Wanda a Ruffneck? ANTICIPATION: I BELIEVE IN MC LYTE CAUSE I BELIEVE IN ME
ACE VENTURA JR. PET DETECTIVE – 7:00PM Sunday (Cartoon Network) Note the "Jr." That's right. It's a kiddie version of the Jim Carrey classic, which will surely lack all the adult subtlties of talking butts and tranny police chiefs. ANTICIPATION: ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIGHTY THEN
IRON CHEF AMERICA – 10:00PM Sunday (Food Network) It's Geoffrey Zakarian (the little smug dude from "Chopped") challenging the adorable Morimoto for bragging rights and some sort of nice toque. ANTICIPATION: GIT 'EM MORIMOTOSAN!!!
Weekend Watch List: Spike Lee! Horsies! Horse Detectives!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and wait for the giant oil spill to come to your front door. Free oil! Cool! Let's have dinner by torchlight and make sticky bombs, everyone! LET'S GO!

Even though I had not viewed any of the five Oscar nominated films, I tuned in to the Academy Awards telecast last Sunday evening. The event is glitz and glamour and, occasionally, it's entertaining.
Even though I had not viewed any of the five Oscar-nominated films, I tuned in to the Academy Awards telecast last Sunday evening. The event is glitz and glamor and, occasionally, entertaining.
One radio guy the next day said he thought it was the worst, most boring, drawn-out ceremony ever. I didn't think so. You go into it knowing it will be three or four hours long, with plenty of opportunity for bathroom breaks, snack breaks and laundry room breaks.
The pace could be picked up a notch, no doubt about it. The forced banter between presenters could be scrapped. A simple intro for each category, "The nominees for original screenplay are …" would shorten the production to fit within a two-hour time frame.
We are forced to suffer through contrived chitchat, and then the winners are forced to rush their speeches. It's not fair to them. They need a moment to catch their breath and collect their thoughts before the clock starts ticking to kick them off the stage. They, the award recipients, should carry as much clout as the award presenters.
The new thing of having five past winners take the stage to give a little speech about the current nominees was kind of cool, kind of not. It gave us more star power to gaze at, and I love to gaze at Halle Berry, but more screen time with Hugh Jackman would have been nice, too.
It's time to add Hugh to my crush list. He looks lovely in a tux and can sing and dance. Check, check, check. Don't tell me he played something called Wolverine. If I am going to live in fantasy land, I can be selective about my fantasies. Robert Downey Jr.'s Ironman is allowed, but no other superhero types.
The Internet headlines that appeared immediately after the show did not like the Hugh with Beyonce song-and-dance number. I think Beyonce is beautiful and captivating. I could watch her for three hours.
The camera pans of the crowd are fun for me. I like to see who is with whom and who sits where. I like front-row Meryl Streep and her authenticity. Her dress didn't thrill me, and what I love about Meryl is that she doesn't give a rip who likes her dress. Her criteria for dress selection: "It fits."
The red carpet question, "Who are you wearing?" amuses me. I imagine the dress designer literally being carried piggyback by each starlet. Nicole Kidman spins around and says, "Why, this is Versace." Versace waves to the camera.
When my boys were younger, I often felt like I was wearing them, but not once have I been asked the question, "Who are you wearing?" I could reply, "Tyler Epperson. Last night, it was Andrew Eppy."
I can't help myself. I watch the Oscars along with millions of others worldwide. I like the gorgeous gowns. I like the magic of the movies. And always, there is an acceptance speech that grabs me.
"Slumdog Millionaire" was indeed the Cinderella story, and I'm told a worthwhile movie.
A.R. Rahman, the man behind the music of that film, made a comment when he received his award that is my nugget to take away from the Hollywood hype. He said, "All my life I have had a choice between hate and love. I choose love."
Love. Movies. Keep 'em coming.

It was 2013, we rented a Prius for summer holiday in Japan. We used it for 4 days and I had to pay only HK$2xx upon returning the car. We didn't travel far but during the 4 days we must have spent couple of hours each day in the car, I was shocked how cheap fuel cost was in a hybrid.
Since that day I have to use my own car for work, didn't bother much as my fuel cost was compensated (not fully) by my employer. However with the Prius experience I feel guilty every time I glide downhill, why didn't I capture the potential energy?
Then from January 2013 I started tracking my fuel consumption. I traveled 40,960km, spent $65,484 on gas, average ownership cost/day was $207 which was almost double of average fuel cost. Other costs such as insurance, toll, license and maintenance are pretty expensive. On average I drove 68km each day.
I don't want to feel guilty so I went full electric from December 2014.

So Greg W. of Puck Daddy fame posted today regarding the NHL wanting to ban bloggers & online based journalists from visitor's locker rooms. It's quite a provocative issue, as the growth of online blog conglomerates like SBNation & Bleacher Report has muddied the line between "professional writer" and "blogger." It's especially gotten stickier as traditional MSM outlets are now starting to rely on sites like Bleacher Report for their sports content. The thing is, there's no real hard and fast playbook for how teams need to deal with the rapid growth of social media entities. Twitter & blogs have definitely changed how sports have been covered. Discussion happens instantaneously and teams have to monitor many different entities. It can be taxing role for whomever is assigned that duty by a team.
As has been pointed out by multiple entities, the NHL as a league has embraced social media. They run active Twitter & Facebook entities. They work to organize tweet ups where fans can meet. They "get it." It's when the ball is passed to individual teams that things start going haywire. Each team has its own social media effort and way of looking at things. Take the Sabres, for example. Their Twitter feed is especially active and helpful during the season, and if your only complaint is the all-caps postings and the circular links to Facebook and then to Sabres.com, then they have to be doing something right. Other teams are different and may very well be dragged into the social media area kicking and screaming.
On Twitter earlier this afternoon, Mike Harrington pointed out that teams might be afraid that bloggers will become a substitute for team websites. That's a valid point and one I hadn't considered. But how many fans out there come to my blog – or any of the other blogs out there – to find breaking news? Most people still hit up team websites and MSM vehicles first. In my opinion, the MSM is a news destination, the blogosphere is the commentary/opinion/snark source. There's nothing wrong with either, it's just that news is news. Player A said this. Player B said that. There's no room for an opinion in a news article. A blogger can take the words of Players A & B and add their own opinions & comments. Again, neither is wrong. It's just two different ways of looking at the game and two different ways of consuming information.
If a team wanted to take away the perception that they won't be the first source for team news (and really, it's a source for PR), they can just add a newsfeed to their homepage. I'm not just talking about a link to The Buffalo News (which I'm sure their management would appreciate), but reports on the more fringe papers, like those of the players hometowns, the away teams for that week, etc. Adding a newsfeed would turn a team website into a content aggregator very quickly. If my fellow bloggers and I can operate "The Google" and find a link to a story in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle about the summer that Tyler Myers spent herding cattle*, then why can the Sabres website not do the same thing?
*To my knowledge, Tyler Myers has never been in Cheyenne, Wyoming, nor has he ever herded cattle. But you get my point.
As media consumption habits change, the traditional MSM is seeing its audience shift to other sources, whether it's the traditional MSMs web presence or an independent internet source. We can't deny that broadcast sports reports and newspaper column inches are shrinking as more and more people get their news from the internet. While the internet can sometimes be a scary place for sports teams, they should also embrace it, using it as a tool to mine suggestions on improvements that can be made (say to the off ice experience, the website, et al). While fans are your biggest critics at times, they can also be your biggest allies. And fans with blogs are the most passionate ones, the ones that take the time to write about their favorite team and sport. Aren't these the fans you want to court? Or is it the idea that these fans don't go to the games since they're firmly indented on mama's basement sofa so the team doesn't have to worry about them?
Sorry, old stereotypes die hard.
Now I'm one of those bloggers that wouldn't know what to do with locker room access. I'd get lost in the fuss in the locker room. If you've ever met me, you know I'm reasonably quiet & shy. I don't burst in and demand attention. I'd probably trip over my tongue (or my own two feet) while trying to ask a question. However, that doesn't mean that there are Sabres bloggers out there that wouldn't want the locker room access. I'd love to see what it's like in the press box, but I realize that my little blog probably won't get me past the velvet rope up there, and I'm ok with that.
A lot needs to be done on both sides in order to come to a happy medium. Bloggers should have to "earn" their credential from a team, whether its by supplying writing samples or interacting with the media relations staff enough so that they can feel confident that you won't be a blabbering idiot. Or maybe start with a practice and then work your way up to game coverage. Teams need to realize that bloggers are not the enemy. We're all reasonable people, except for, you know, when we go on our bi-monthly weekly "fire them all" rants.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this discussion leads. The NHL has some of the most passionate fans, bloggers and media members out there. Getting everyone on the same page in the same book is probably going to be a long, frustrating road, but in the end, it will be worth it.
Moving on, the NFL is having a social media trouble of its own. Mediapost reported today that Ochocinco was fined 25k for tweeting from the sidelines during a preseason game. That's almost a "no shit sherlock" thing for me. I mean, these guys are paid to play sports and have their heads in the game. There's a time and place for interacting with your adoring (or heckling) public, and in the middle of a game is not it. If the NFL wants in game tweeting about what's going on on the sidelines, send an intern down with a smartphone or netbook and let them have at it. Tell me that Brian Moorman is chatting with Poz about the philosophies of Kant as they wait for kickoff. That's fine. But players themselves should not have the freedom to tweet from the sidelines. I know football is a little different than other sports where there is a lot of idle time, but as professional athletes, their heads should be in the game at all times. And really, I've heard that a professional athlete or two has left the Twitterverse because he was upset that the fans were leveling criticism at him. How would he react to critical statements if he received them in game as opposed to afterward when he's had a chance to cool off? It would not end well for anyone.
And finally, Drew Stafford wants to be a duck? You only have to watch until the 1:50 mark to get the gist, and there is some language in the video as well. And is it me, or does Mr. Staffy look slightly ticked off in this video?

Tips to Help Kids Protect Their Teeth from Sugar
Sugar can be difficult to pass up, especially when you're a kid. Today's children are regularly subjected to sugary diets and uninformed eating habits. Although parents may not be giving their children foods that are high in sugar intentionally, there are steps that can be taken to help kids avoid the pitfalls of sugar, such as obesity and dental disease.
• Monitor snacking choices. Provide healthy foods to eat. Ration empty-calorie foods such as sugar-packed sweets. Instead, offer healthy alternative snacks such as fresh vegetables and fruits and low-fat yogurt with no added sugars.
• Beware of the juice box. Most fruit drinks are low in vitamins and high in sugar. And many contain less than 10 percent real fruit juice. Look for low- or no-sugar substitutes or provide water when kids are thirsty.
• Use oral care probiotics. Sugars are going to find their way into young mouths eventually. In addition to regular brushing and flossing, incorporate an oral care probiotic, like EvoraKids into their oral health routine. Oral care probiotics work by flooding the mouth with beneficial bacteria, which adhere to tooth surfaces, including pits and fissures in the chewing surfaces, leaving less room for the harmful bacteria that feed on sugars to grow.
• Involve children in meal-time planning and prep. Take advantage of meal preparation to help your child understand the importance of good food choices. Including them in the preparation process can be an important step for children who take more interest in hands-on activities.
• Keep a positive attitude. When your child makes healthy food choices, recognize his accomplishment. Be consistent with verbal praise and rewards when they make good choices. As is the case with many children, behavior is often repeated when there is a positive response.
• Be a role model. Probably the most important step is to practice what you preach. Most children learn by watching their parents. When you try to teach a child good behavior, incorporate these same principals into your own everyday actions. Words that conflict with your actions can be confusing to developing minds.

12 Responses to "Yi Jianlian and Reverse Prejudice"
October 12, 2007 at 2:37 pm
[…] Jason Chung wrote a fantastic post today entitled "Yi Jianlian and Reverse Prejudice." Here is an excerpt from his piece: "Rather, I am referring to prejudice in its broadest terms whereby "prejudice refers to a negative or hostile attitude toward another social group, usually racially defined." In the Yi case, a negative attitude toward whites is being . . . " […]
October 12, 2007 at 3:47 pm
your assumption that the large asian community is for yi's marketability seems to be lacking. say for instance, that yi experiences culture shock, which many foreigners do. this would mean that he would not be able to compete at his highest level. what would assuage this? SIMPLE a place where he can feel at home. feeling at home, may not be feeling welcomed by an asian community (as you pointed out), but simply being near things that are familiar and that were taken for granted. anyways… your assumption might be correct to a certain extent, but does not portray the whole picture, which makes your argument,erroneous and little "prejudiced" in itself.
October 12, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Rocky hits the nail on the head. I am pretty sure that there were worries that Yi would suffer an extreme culture shock if he were to go to a city without a large Chinese community. Also, I think it is fair to say that the Chinese community might embrace Yi to a greater extent than the non-Chinese community would. This is not necessary racism, but rather pride in the familiar. Is French support for Tony Parker racism? The premise to the article is not that supportable – you might want to pick a new battle.
October 12, 2007 at 4:39 pm
I don't agree. Yi barely speaks English. Yi has lived in China all his life. When Yi arrived in Chicago there were hundreds of Chinese fans there to greet him. The fact that chinese community is more likely to embrace Yi doesn't mean that he feels like the white community won't accept him. It means that he would like to have a conservation in chinese with a person without an interpreter. Maybe get some home cooking once in awhile. Date a woman he can talk too. That has nothing to do with fan support or jersey sells or how much people cheer for him, or any other pseudo-intellectual crap you want to throw out there.
It was about his personal comfort. Now, I think that with maturity and after spending some time in Milwaukee, Yi may find he fits in comfortably there. But to say that Yi or his handlers were engaging in racism is untrue. Why do you think a lot of NBA players don't like Utah? Its because of a comfort level, of being around your own people. Its just reality. Not my favorite reality, but reality nonetheless.
October 12, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Reverse racism is nothing compared to institutional racism.
The reason Dice K, Ichiro, Wang, and other Asian baseball players are accepted is because Asians have made huge impact in that sport.
In basketball, the only other famous Asian is Yao, and look at all the crap he had to face when he came in. It was good that Yao had a huge Asian community to back him up and give him support.
Until there are more Asians in basketball, Yi and future Asian drafts will face a lot of undeserved and racist criticism.
October 12, 2007 at 11:22 pm
I'm not sure the fact "that whites as a group would not or could not accept Yi as fully as an Asian community would or could" was not the exact reason for Yi's camps demands. I always interpreted as Yi would feel more comfortable living near a strong Asian community, not that whites wouldn't accept Yi (if that makes sense). The former is about having a comfort zone to ease his transition, the latter is about projecting what other peoples' attitudes would be.
October 13, 2007 at 6:06 am
I know this is about prejudice and racism, but what it all boils down to in the end is that we are having athletes that feel that they can "demand" the team that they are going to play for, 'ala Eli Manning. The basic premise of the article is sound in that it would not matter where Yi went to play, whether it was a predominantly Asian Community or not. It all boils down to his ability to adapt. Can he or can't he? Do you think he could thrive in California where there's "Chinatown"? Where the expectations would be 10 times higher than Milwaukee?
The Bucks expect him to produce as a Player and perform Community Service as a Person. So… does that mean that he only wants to perform Community Service if the Community he is helping is primarily of Asian descent? It was a poor card to play in any regard. Play for the team that selects you. If you want to move on after the 3-year Rookie Contract is up, then you have that option.
This is a big step for Yi in his career and it already has been tainted with "demands" of a racial nature. Whether it was by him or his handlers is irrelevant.
Play for the Team that selects you and leave all the baggage behind. Take up your bags and go when you've fulfilled your contract. Don't doubt the support that the fans (who buy tickets to see the games) will give, whether they are American (melting pot of the world) or not. Racism will always exist. Prejudice will always exist. It should NOT be used as a card in the Poker Game of a Business Transaction (unless it is to counteract some engative connotation).
October 13, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Its about time somebody wrote about the reverse discrimination in this whole ordeal. Yi should play where he was drafted…period. If the roles were reversed and this was a white player saying he didnt want to play for a predominately african american community, just imagine the uproar it would have caused. Its about time somebody stuck up for the white people in Wisconson (I'm asian)
October 13, 2007 at 2:22 pm
I really enjoyed this article, and much of what I would comment on has already been posted by others. However, there is one thing I would like to mention concerning this line: "and a quick look at jersey sales in China reveals that Yao Ming, a genuine Chinese-born and bred NBA superstar, is only number six in overall sales – trailing five African-Americans."
There is one big thing to consider regarding jersey sales, and that is how long has the player/jersey been around. There are other factors as well such as guards virtually always dominating the list, as with shoe sales, etc., but for this my focus is different.
For example:
Yao and his number 11 Houston Rockets jersey has been around since he was drafted in 2002.
Of those five African Americans ahead of Yao on this list:
1. Kobe Bryant – has been with the same team since drafted in 1996, however last season he changed his famous jersey #8, to #24. Thus, essentially everyone who had ever bought a Kobe Bryant #8 was "out of date, "old news", and due for an update — a new jersey.
2. Allen Iverson – after spending his entire career with the Sixers, was traded last season to Denver. Again, everyone who had a Allen Iverson 76ers jersey was out of date and due for an update — an Allen Iverson Nuggets jersey. Not surprisingly his jersey sales sky-rocketed after the trade.
3. Tracy McGrady – is in an interesting situation where he is not only already a popular player, and a guard at that, but he also has the luxury (as far as jersey sales, all-star votes, and defensive attention [wink]) of playing on the same team as Yao, due to the great Asian fan-base due to Yao. However, in line with my overall point, while Yao has been in a Rockets jersey since 02, McGrady didn't join the Rockets until 04. Not huge difference, I concede, but nonetheless a difference. People have essentially had two extra years to purchase Yao jerseys and after you already have a Yao jersey, would you be more likely to buy another replica or maybe a Tracy McGrady one this time?
4 & 5 Dwyane Wade LeBron James – Both drafted the year after Yao. Even less significant, however people have essentially had less time to purchase these two jerseys.
None of this is to completely discount your point, but to shed another light on it. Some are more significant than other such as Kobe's number change and Iverson being traded, however they all certainly matter to some degree, and this isn't even factoring in the fact that guards almost always dominate sales, or how in the season prior to these sales Dwyane Wade won the Finals MVP of a Championship team, etc.
Again, I really enjoyed your article and credit you for shining a different light on this situation. I just wanted to explore that jersey sales line a bit more.
October 13, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Look I find the whole "Revers Racism" thing a little offensive as a white man. I live in Portland Oregon. Ya on the whole its a largely white city, but the area I live in is very ethnically diverse. Asian, African, Hispanic, Indian, whatever you can name we've got it, and I like it that way. I find racism (especially open racism) to be extremely offensive no matter where it comes from, or whom its directed toward. Its really a shame, but I find that people of non-Caucasian decent (at least in the Portland Oregon area) are far more vocal about there prejudices not only against "white people" but also against other "minorities".
All & all I just find it ridiculous that "minorities" can b!tch about white people being prejudice, and not take a look at their own behavior.

Detroit Police Dept. / AP
This undated image made from video provided on Monday by the Detroit Police Department shows a "person of interest" in the theft of a Secret Service rental truck carrying equipment related to Vice President Joe Biden's Labor Day visit to Detroit.
Police have recovered a stolen rental truck that was carrying equipment for Vice President Joe Biden's Labor Day visit to Detroit.
The U-Haul truck was stolen late Saturday or early Sunday outside the Westin Book Cadillac hotel in downtown Detroit. It was found Monday in the New Center area north of downtown, Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens told the Detroit News.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told the newspaper it was found in an apartment parking lot near Henry Ford Hospital
Donovan had said the truck had equipment on board but no weapons or anything that could put the public at risk. He declined to say whether any of the equipment was stolen. A law enforcement official briefed on the issue told the Detroit News the vehicle held portable metal detectors and that some of the equipment was missing when the truck was recovered.
Biden was in Detroit to address a union rally Monday to mark Labor Day. The rally site is near the hotel.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Yes, I know, I was pointing-out that that Holland game was unusual - generally India have had few problems against substandard sides.
even though they prevailed a victory at Holland, i see that INDIA getting 204 against minnos is not really good enough IMO
Yeah but that Holland game was followed by their dismal performance against Australia, which resulted in them turning around their form and having a very good WC (undefeated) until they met Australia in the final again.
I'd say that Holland game was just a one-off. Even Sachin, who had one of the best WC's ever, didn't dominate in that match.

The REAL point of interest here would be to see if AA can get a 10 wicket haul or a double century in one of the league games.

LONG BEACH, California - Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and Heather Bansley of Toronto earned their best-ever result in their first-year partnership placing fifth at the sixth stop on the FIVB beach volleyball circuit which concluded on the weekend.
It was an all Brazilian final as No. 2-seeded Lima/Antunes gutted out their fourth consecutive three-set match in the tournament to slip past Brazil's No. 4-seeded sisters Maria Clara Salgado/Carolina Salgado, 20-22, 21-15, 15-13 in 61 minutes.
Germany's No. 7-seeded Katrin Holtwick/Ilka Semmler held off a great effort by USA's No. 15-seeded Emily Day/Summer Ross to earn the bronze medal in straight sets, 21-18, 25-23.
Pavan and Bansley opened the round robin with two losses but won their third match to advance to the elimination round. In the playoffs they scored two straight wins including an upset of 10th seed Kristyna Kolokova and Marketa Slukova to advance to the quarterfinals.
In the final eight they took the eventual champions to a third a decisive set falling 17-21, 21-15, 15-11 in 55 minutes.
There was more good news for Canada as its two other entries advanced to the first round of the playoffs for 17th place. They were Melissa Humana-Paredes of Toronto and Taylor Pischke of Winnipeg, bronze medallists at the U23 world championships, who were in their World Tour debut and Kristina Valjas of Toronto and Jamie Broder of Victoria who equalled their best result this season.
On the men's side, first-year partners Ben Saxton of Calgary and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., continued their fine international showing going 2-1 in the round robin and reaching the round of 16 for ninth place.
They were fifth at the world championships earlier this month and have now cracked the top-10 at four of their last six international tournaments.
Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., and Christian Redmann of Toronto had their best tournament of the year reaching the first round of the playoffs for 17th place.
In the final, USA's fourth-seeded Sean Rosenthal/Philip Dalhausser defeated Spain's 14th-seeded Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira 21-15, 21-18. It was the Americans who eliminated Saxton and Schalk.
In the third place match Italy's Paolo Nicolai/Daniele Lupo overcame host nation favorites top-seeded Jake Gibb/Casey Patterson, 21-16, 21-13
The next stop is August 6-11 in Berlin.

After 16 years living in Germany, you start to pick up a few German habits. You don't cross the intersection when the light is red – it sets a bad example for kids. You greet colleagues around lunchtime not with hello, but with a cheery Mealtime! You say hello to everyone waiting already when you walk into the doctor's waiting room. And whenever you're at the supermarket checkout counter, or picking up stuff at the cleaners, or dealing with a teller at the bank, you do NOT make idle chit-chat. In and out with sometimes barely a nod to civility is how it's done.
So after eight weeks travelling through this great land we call Canada we arrive in the unusually parched Wet Coast west-coast town of Squamish, and it's time to go to the bank. I'm out of cash – not an unusual state this time around considering the incredible jump in prices we've seen for everything from fish to fowl – so the first morning after we get in I head to the bank, stride up to the teller and ask for my daily withdrawal limit.
After keying in my PIN number she informs me that acquiring the cash will take a minute as the cash must be dispensed from a machine back around a corner, and it's in need of some sort of re-boot or whatever, and I say that's OK, and then she asks me, So, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?
I look at her and hesitate that telling half-second which gives me away as someone with as much social savvy as a deer staring at headlights.
As I said, I'm kind of out of practice at this sort of thing, and after 16 years of dealing with German checkout counter ladies and bank tellers, it hits me as if she's asked me if I've tried out that crazy new brand of multicolour condoms with the spiral ticklers.
"Yes, well, uh, I've got lots of plans lined up," and I see out of the corner of my eye that the teller to her right has turned her head to look at me as if to ask herself, gee, he looks like a regular white guy and he's got no accent, so what's his problem?
I instantly switch to Canuck mode and try to come back with the breezy-bantery reply you're supposed to, but it falls flat.
"Well, uh, we're doing laundry at the moment, actually, it's the fourth load already. We let it pile up as we've not had a chance to get any done since Canmore and since then we've been through the Kootenays and well, you know how it is.
"Well, at least you've got a nice sunny day to do it," she replies, the cash finally having been delivered to her wicket and I can count on the ordeal being over that much sooner.
It's a good thing the cash came when it did as I was going to add, "and later on I'm taking my Mom to a funeral, well it's not an actual burial, more of a memorial service for my former principal who passed away, and I was very saddened to hear it and I want to be there."
I hope October is here soon so we can all start talking about hockey again.

Pimozide belongs to the class of medications called antipsychotics. It is used to manage symptoms of certain types of chronic schizophrenia. It works by affecting the way messages are sent in the central nervous system.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
2 mg
Each round, white, flat-faced, bevelled-edge, scored tablet, engraved "PIM" over "2" on one side, contains pimozide 2 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: anhydrous lactose, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.
4 mg
Each round, light green, flat-faced, bevelled-edge, scored tablet, engraved "PIM" over "4" on one side, contains pimozide 4 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: anhydrous lactose, croscarmellose sodium, D&C Yellow No. 10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue No. 2 Aluminum Lake, and magnesium stearate.
Adults: The recommended starting dose of pimozide ranges from 2 mg to 4 mg once daily, taken in the morning. Your doctor will gradually increase your dose to a maximum of 20 mg daily. The goal is to find the dose where the best effects occur with the least side effects.
Seniors: The recommended starting dose of pimozide ranges from 1 mg to 2 mg once daily, taken in the morning. Your doctor will gradually increase your dose to a maximum of 20 mg daily. The goal is to find the dose where the best effects occur with the least side effects.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Do not take pimozide if you:
Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent. The side effects listed below are not experienced by everyone who takes this medication. If you are concerned about side effects, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor.
The following side effects have been reported by at least 1% of people taking this medication. Many of these side effects can be managed, and some may go away on their own over time.
Contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are severe or bothersome. Your pharmacist may be able to advise you on managing side effects.
Although most of these side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not check with your doctor or seek medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:
Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Blood pressure: People who take pimozide may develop very low blood pressure causing dizziness and lightheadedness. Some individuals, especially seniors or those who are debilitated, have had temporary low blood pressure for several hours after taking the medication.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Pimozide may reduce alertness, especially at the start of treatment. Alcohol may increase these effects. Avoid tasks requiring alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until you determine if the medication affects you this way.
Epilepsy: Since pimozide may increase the risk of seizures, people with epilepsy should be closely monitored by their doctor while taking this medication.
Grapefruit juice: Grapefruit juice prevents pimozide from being broken down (metabolized) in the body. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice if you take pimozide.
Heart problems: People with heart problems taking pimozide should be closely monitored by their doctor.
Liver disease: People with liver disease should be closely monitored by their doctor while taking this medication because pimozide is broken down (metabolized) in the liver.
Stopping the medication: Do not stop taking this medication without speaking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may lead to uncomfortable side effects – your doctor may wish to gradually reduce your dose over time.
Tardive dyskinesia (TD): As with all antipsychotic medications, a syndrome called TD may occur for some people on long-term therapy or after they stop taking the medication. The syndrome's main features are rhythmical involuntary movements of the tongue, face, mouth, or jaw. Tell the doctor if you notice these symptoms in yourself or someone else taking pimozide.
Pregnancy: The safe of use of pimozide during pregnancy has not been established. It should not be taken by women who are or may become pregnant, particularly during the first trimester of pregnancy, unless in the opinion of the doctor the benefits outweigh the risks.
Breast-feeding: Pimozide may pass into breast milk. If taking pimozide is considered essential, stop breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children. Pimozide is not recommended for children.
There may be an interaction between pimozide and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

January Was 8th Coldest on Record in Illinois
The sub-zero temperatures Illinoisans experienced last month added up to the eighth coldest January on record.
Illinois state climatologist Jim Angel says the statewide average temperature in January was 18.2 degrees — 8.1 degrees below the average of 26.3 degrees. Angel is with the Illinois State Water Survey at the University of Illinois.
The coldest January on record was in 1977, when the average temperature was 10.3 degrees.
January snowfall was above average for most of the state except in far southern Illinois, where snow totals were from 1 to 6 inches. Northeastern Illinois had between 25 and 30 inches of accumulation thanks to lake-effect snow.
Chicago recorded low temperatures at zero or below zero on 13 days. The city had its third snowiest January on record.

Double Header for the Hospital
The first item concerned an Israeli citizen whose leg was saved by the orthopedic team of the hospital after he broke it during a business trip to Kenya. When Dr. Nimrod Rosen, head of orthopedics, learned of the accident and the inability of the Nairobi hospital to perform the emergency surgery required to save the leg, he got on the phone and issued instructions on how to prepare the patient for an emergency flight to Israel. The hospital staff was ready when he arrived and the leg-saving operation was successfully performed.
The other item was a happy one from beginning to end. On March 19th the maternity ward of the Afula hospital was the scene of a record-breaking baby boom. While the average number of births there in a day is 13, on that day 22 babies were born — 15 boys, 5 girls and a set of twins. The nurses on the ward were worn out at the end of such a demanding day but they all had a smile on their face.
