The Czech ice hockey star Jaromir Jagr has failed to rack-up additional points in the NHL this season, meaning he finishes 2nd on the overall leaders list. Final NHL games wrapped up on Tuesday. Jagr had recently led on the table, which combines points from goals and assists but was overtaken in the last few games before the playoffs. His one assist in New York Rangers 5 - 1 defeat of Los Angeles on Tuesday was not enough to regain the lead. Jagr finishes with 123, just 2 points behind Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks.

The police will not search for women who make use of anonymous "baby boxes", a spokesperson told Mlada fronta Dnes. Last month high-ranking police officer Alena Plskova said the police needed to track down such mothers in case the baby's parents were drug addicts or alcoholics. Her statements were roundly condemned by baby box operators - they said the loss of anonymity would deter women from using it. The police now say they will only search for mothers when babies show signs of violent abuse.
