E-commerce represents a rapidly growing share of consumer spending in the United States. We use transactions-level data on credit and debit cards from Visa, Inc. between 2007 and 2017 to quantify the resulting consumer surplus. We estimate e-commerce reached 8 percent of consumption by 2017, yielding the equivalent of a 1 percent boost to their consumption, or over $1,000 per household per year. While some of the gains arose from avoiding travel costs to local merchants, most of the gains stemmed from substituting to merchants available online but not locally. Higher income consumers gained more, as did consumers in more densely populated counties.

As the publisher/CEO of a metropolitan Jewish newspaper, it was interesting to read Gil Shefler's August 1 article \"Change at JTA helm signals challenges faced by US Jewish media\" in The Jerusalem Post and Jason Miller's blog in The Jewish Week online about the future of Jewish journalism as seen by the JTA. From my vantage point, the ideas discussed have very little relevance to the publishing world in which I live, and to the future success of our news organization. A key concept in both articles is that Jewish publications, faced with declining audiences and an inability to make money from the internet, should turn to a collaborative web model. In the Jewish Week article, this is followed by a suggestion that the JTA convene a group of Jewish publications to work on such as model. And there's an implication that Jewish news organizations as a group are not adequately focusing on the future. I'm all for change and evolution. In my two years at The Jewish Light, we've added new technology, a new website, an additional magazine, and a redesign of our newspaper. We've hired a new editor and rearranged staff resources to fit their skills and interests. We've won three Rockower awards from the AJPA and one from the National Newspaper Association. We're spending less and getting more out of it, due to a variety of savings on personnel, printing and other costs. The reader response has been exceptionally positive. And with our combination of revenue sources, we're holding our own through very difficult economic times.

On behalf of the organized Jewish community of Hamilton, Burlington and area, I write to express our full confidence in the ability of Police Chief Glenn De Caire and Hamilton Police Service to conduct a thorough, transparent investigation of the circumstances of the recent encounter with Po La Hay.

Furthermore, Health Canada's website states they \"support water fluoridation as a public health measure to prevent dental decay\" and that \"the big advantage of water fluoridation is that it benefits all residents in a community regardless of age, socioeconomic status, education or employment.\" If this isn't enough evidence for you, international experts such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga., have recognized the fluoridation of drinking water to prevent dental decay as \"one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.\"

Overall leaders in terms of dollar volume for dairy continue to be milk, cheese, yogurt, juice and eggs. But categories backed by innovation, including refrigerated spreads, iced coffee, butter and refrigerated dressings, grew much faster than non-innovators. A number of category growth leaders are using innovation to spark their upswings -- particularly leveraging protein and on-the- go consumption to drive sales, sparking better-than-category growth for the likes of Hillshire, Tyson and Kellogg's. Three emerging themes are driving many of today's new product launches: simplicity, wellness and excitement. Niche innovation is critical to achieving longer-term success. The authors see a growing amount of targeted innovations, whether it is to an aging population or to a growing segment like Hispanics.
