As much as we all want it to be, this isn't 2001 anymore Patrick Roy isn't there Ray Bourque isn't there. Alex Tanguay, Rob Blake, the Old Peter Forsberg.  Gone and not coming back.  It's time to find the new generation.  And it's time to start now.. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Mexican Finance Minister Agustin Carstens said on Sunday the outbreak of swine flu could have a big impact on Mexico’s economy, although it was too soon to say how significant the effect might be. U.S.  |  Health  |  Mexico”This issue can have an important impact on the economy, although the most important impact is the one on human life and human well being,” Finance Minister Agustin Carstens told reporters.”At this stage, without ignoring that this is a very serious matter and that it has a high potential for disruption, I would say that it’s early to give a more concrete opinion,” he said.Carstens, speaking at a news conference after a meeting of the IMF and World Bank’s joint Development Committee, said the World Bank was giving Mexico an immediate loan of $25 million to help with medicine and medical equipment.In addition, he said the Bank would provide a further $180 million to help Mexico set up operations to deal with the outbreak.The flu has killed 81 people in Mexico.

Twenty cases have appeared in the United States and six in Canada, with other possible cases as far afield as Europe and New Zealand.Carstens said the World Bank would help Mexico try to better gauge what the economic fallout might be.World Bank President Robert Zoellick said the focus right now was on the human toll. “For now the focus is to try to take care of people’s lives,” he said.(Reporting by Lesley Wroughton; Writing by Tim Ahmann) U.S. Health Mexico. Matt Ryan – Falcons Get Politically CorrectThe one thing the Atlanta Falcons needed to do before they hit the field in 2008, was get a new face and new image for their franchise. They needed to put all the bad of 2007 behind them: the Michael Vick mess, the Bobby Petrino bailout and the sad visage of the tired, beaten and deceived owner, Arthur Blank.So when they selected Boston College QB Matt Ryan with the first pick, I understood it completely.Most draft pundits went wild “He’s not what they need!” “They need defense”.

“How can you take Ryan over Dorsey, or Ellis?”Very easily, I say. What the Falcons needed most was to get a fresh face for their franchise That face, and I dare say it, had to be a white one Ryan is the perfect fit for the Atlanta Falcons. A clean-cut, suburban, good-looking white kid with a huge smile. Can he help the Falcons out of the NFL (no pun intended) doghouse? No question. Can he re-engage the Falcon fans, and can he help them win? Probably.This pick, to me, was a practical one. If the Falcons had chosen another, young African-American with their first choice, fans would have accepted him, just like they accepted Michael Vick and DeAngelo Hall, but they would be left wondering if anything has really changed. By taking Ryan, they literally change the complexion of their franchise.
