The Chicago Tribune has a Chinese New Year's article about transracial adoptees and how their parents are handling inculcating culture. Something to consider if you're spending V-Day sweatin' yellow fever.

Speaking of the products of yellow fever, mixies Apolo Ohno and newbie Fil Am J.R. Celski got medals at the Olympics Saturday night. Woot.

Someone else to keep an eye on during these Olympics: US figure skater Mirai Nagasu, who may not get a medal, but is getting a wackadoo reputation.

Other Fil Ams in sports: SF Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum is the highest paid pitcher in his first year of eligibility, apparently ever.

The Koream missionary Robert Park, who went off the rails on his crazy train into North Korea, has been returned to the U.S. chastened, but apparently unharmed.

An Indian American prof was among those killed by the U of Alabama tenure-shooter.

Awesome:

Apparently, Houston's Chi Am community is growing exponentially.

A Sacramento man who worked three JA family farms during the internment to save them, is going to be honored next week.

Speaking of internment, a new documentary film short tells the story behind this famous internment photo.

Feds are investigating Milwaukee's Asian gangs, who have committed 140 violent crimes against one another in the past few years. Wow.

And finally, in Ahmadinanigans Watch: Iran has quietly reduced Kian Tajbakhsh's sentence from 12 years to 5. Mmm hmm.

Much love and ly see to you tonight, my peoples!
