We introduce and construct a pseudo-random object which we call a local correlation breaker (LCB). Informally speaking, an LCB uses a weak-source of randomness to "break" local correlations between random variables. As an application of LCBs, we construct a 3-source extractor for entropies delta*n, O(log n) and O(loglog n), for any constant delta. .
