Welcome back to our occasional feature on what's happening in the exciting world of the Yahoo! Directory. Even though it's been a while since we've updated you, don't think our work has stopped: There's always new stuff to be added. For example, in less than two weeks, we'll mark the start of the Beijing Olympics. Folks from all over the world are preparing for their visits, so we've expanded our categories on Beijing hotels, tourism, and restaurants, to provide even the fussiest traveler with information on where to go and what to see. Of course, there are other aspects to the Games that we all find fascinating, and so we've boosted our information on such performance-enhancing drugs as Atenolol, GHB, and Rohypnol. And we're not sure if this relates to the sometimes-questionable air in the capital, but we've added sites about treatment of persistent coughs, pneumonia, and sore throats (not to mention the traveler's traditional bane: diarrhea). But it's not all athletics and pollution here. When you wanted good information on Hurricanes Bertha and Dolly, we went out and found it (and will continue to do so throughout the storm season). And when the good people at the Television Academy announced the Emmy Award nominations, and we added information about all the nominated shows and actors. There's always room in the Directory for stuff that's oddball or off-center, so say hello to Live Action Role Playing Games and (our personal favorite) Chess Boxing, a competition that combines the brain-straining aspect of chess with the brain-addling power of the Sweet Science. If that sounds as interesting to you as it did to us, give it a click. That's all for now, but please join us next time, as we continue to delve into the more than one million sites that make up the Yahoo! Directory. Suggested Sites... Yahoo! Directory: 2012 Summer Olympics: London - we know you'll be wondering. Yahoo! Directory: 2010 Winter Olympics: Vancouver - and here, too. Yahoo! Directory: Chess - checkmate your opponent with a left hook. Yahoo! Directory: 2008 Emmy Awards - the best in television -- for one night, anyway. Yahoo! Directory: Specific Drugs and Medications - from Abbokinase to Zyvox.

Directory categories: 2008 Beijing Olympics, Olympic Games, Chinese Travel, Beijing, 2008 Emmy Award Nominations
